Xander Kotani

Face-up artist(s):

Luts

Body blushing artist(s):

None

Modifications artist(s):

La Sultana (me)

Tattoo artist(s):

None

Date of acquisition:

June 29, 2006

Provenance:

Bought secondhand on the DOA Marketplace

Reason for choice:

I originally wanted a Lati Green Ronnie to be his character, but I changed my mind when I saw a boyish image of Cutie Delf Mary that fit his personality more. I modded his ears to be elf ears since there was never an elf version of Mary.

Best Points:

His head is super easy to detach thanks to the one-touch mechanism in his neck.

Worst Points:

Sexless body (I prefer "proper" boy bits), no torso joint :-(

Eyes:

14 mm glass violet

Wig:

Size 6-7 Short reddish-brown from Nine9 Style

Favourite colours:

Black, green, gray, brown

Fashion style(s):

Punk, casual

Key fashion accessory:

Hoodies

Name story:

I wanted his character to be Greek, so I chose the name Alexander--but I also wanted a more unique nickname than Alex, so I shortened it to Xander. Kotani is a Greek surname I researched online.

Character age:

10 in "elf years"/120 in human years

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Xander is a devious, bratty, obnoxious little kid, pretty much the exact opposite of Lydia. He's a shapeshifter, which means he can change himself and others into just about whatever he wants. He tends to use these powers to play pranks on unsuspecting people and create all sorts of mischief. His only problem is that sometimes these pranks backfire on him because he can't always figure out how to change the people back...It's a skill he never quite mastered. Not much is known about Xander's past except that he was considered a "delinquent" in the elf society. He got into really big trouble when he turned Lydia into a doll as a joke, and then was only able to change her back halfway. Lydia was a loved and respected friend of the elves, as she helped protect their forest homes in several parts of Europe. Therefore, when Xander was unable to correct this mistake he had made, he was sentenced to banishment from the Shapeshifter tribe--and all elf society. He ended up wandering around several cities and villages, creating chaos and mayhem everywhere he went. Finally, he found out where Lydia was staying and decided to come live with us, because deep down he loves Lydia like a big sister and feels terrible about what he did to her...though he would never show it in a million years.
