Yuki Shirato

Face-up artist(s):

Hana (Shallow Sleep Aesthetics)

Body blushing artist(s):

Krowbar

Modifications artist(s):

Krowbar

Reason for choice:

The first shell of Yuki was a Loongsoul/Mystic Kids hybrid, however I felt the Gene sculpt was too boyish with large ears so she became fully a Loongsoul YingYing. However, over time I found her face less fitting and her bust too big. Therefore, after a lot of time, she is finally here as an Unoa Lusis/Loongsoul hybrid.

Best Points:

>Nice proportions, though even with the M-bust she's still very busty, but the S-bust is too flat^^
>Pretty hands
>Soft, doe like eyes which perfectly capture the "ocean of stars" within them
>Loongsoul bodies are amazing to pose

Worst Points:

>Head movement is somewhat limited when looking down because she's a modded hybrid
>Hands don't really fit in some scenarios, like she could use other pairs which I don't think Loongsoul do!
>Her clothing and shoe sizes are quite odd and between general sizes, which makes it risky for what will be too tight or too baggy.

Yuki was the first doll I ever collected, even if she was shelled differently back then. I wanted her doll incarnation to be highly pose-able while capturing every essence of her beauty. Loongsoul was always my choice throughout any shelling of her because it's got such lovely proportions and it poses amazingly. Sure, it's a bit of a bulky body, but it's super worth it.

I'm so glad the resin match is practically perfect between the LS body and Unoa head, and now it's been modded by the lovely Krowbar it looks amazing and it's almost like she's really there. I hope to eventually get the other Unoa plates, though I'm not sure about their paintings because I don't want to put pressure on my dear friend Hana at this time.

I don't think Yuki really has a particular face character, I find it hard to assign one to her, so this is the closest I can get!

Eyes:

Wig:

Favourite colours:

She usually wears shades like black and white, but she does love purples and icy blues too.

Fashion style(s):

Yuki wears a range of clothing, from gothic lolita dresses to kawaii pastel outfits, or even just a simply hoodie and shorts or a skirt.

I'd say Yuki is very fashionable, and very feminine, but she doesn't necessarily stick to one set style. Some days she feels fancy, others vintage, and others again she just wants to look comfortable and cute. She's complex in the way that throughout her story she changes from the face of innocence to the image of sexuality, and I want to capture both styles and the middle ground with her.

Name story:

Back in my weeb phase I went on an app on Facebook which generated a nickname for me - Yuki. This eventually became the name for my character, and as she's a completely separate person to me I slowly detached myself from the nickname to establish her as a standalone Yuki. My nickname is now, and hopefully always, Snow.

However, upon writing out her story, I've decided Yuki is going to be a mask name, and there's another 'true' name which I can't reveal here! ;)

Character age:

Ageless - Immortality

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

Yuki (she does have another real name which is technically her 'real' name but I won't disclose it here because...plotline) is the main protagonist in my stories which I have yet to come up with a good title for. On the outside, the story starts off as almost a cliché with an overlying plot of an almost perfect whirlwind romance with the underlying conflict constantly being swept aside right until it crashes down at the end, setting the stage for the following volumes. It's the story of a girl becoming a woman in a world that holds many others, a transition she goes through as she's on a quest for the truth, a mission to save others but at what cost?

She actually was once the main character in this really dark, raunchy rom/com/horror RP that I used to do when I was...probably 13 or 14 til 16, with an old friend. I loved the RP so much, with its many universes, characters and twisted storylines (so twisted, we were strange kids), that I wanted it to be immortalised in a story with a solid plotline. It's a lot different from the original, but I feel it's better this way, because now it pays homage to that friend of mine while still being my own work. A piece of my heart goes into every one of the books I'm writing for her.
