Date of acquisition:

Head: Nov. 2, 2016. Body: Feb. 15, 2017

Provenance:

Former owners.

Reason for choice:

The pre-owned head was so beautiful to me! The pre-owned body was a good price. The head & body turned out to be a good match.

Best Points:

Once I began to shell my characters, I saw this head for sale and he seemed perfect because of his refined and harmless expression. The body is versatile and poses well.

Worst Points:

It has no bad points.

Eyes:

Plastic eyes harvested from a thrift store ceramic head.

Wig:

A pre-owned brown wig that was included in another doll purchase.

Favourite colours:

Blue, brown, white

Fashion style(s):

Victorian

Key fashion accessory:

Piano. It's cumbersome, but he would take it everywhere if he could.

Name story:

'William' because his character has always been called William, ever since I was 6 years old. 'Ross' because when it became necessary for him to have a surname, it's kind of a pun, because Ross also means 'horse' in German.

Character age:

Debatable, because during the horse part of his life he aged differently than he ages as a human. He appears to be a youthful 26, approximately.

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

William was a person who did not feel he was in the right body when he was born into a horse body in Victorian England. He had no way to communicate his displacement until, at last, he found someone with whom he could communicate telepathically and who could use magic to transform him into human form. Being human has its own set of hurdles to jump, metaphorically, however.
