Adlai

Face-up artist(s):

Angell Studio, me

Date of acquisition:

Oct 31, 2024

Provenance:

I am the first owner.

Reason for choice:

I chose her to shell my character

Best Points:

I love her sculpt and the shape of her face, she looks very sweet

Worst Points:

She's not great at standing on her own at all. I have to be very precise with her to get her to cooperate. I suspect it has to do with how her hips are engineered, but I don't know much about that so I'm not 100% sure.

I often refer to Adlai as "Briar Adlai" when she is in her faerie form, due to the lore of her story.
Previously named "Adelaide," so you might see that lingering around in places.

Somewhere between brown and orange, bangs with thick, loose curls

Red

Fashion style(s):

Homespun, traditional clothes and nature-based styles, sometimes mori kei, sometimes more revealing clothing

Key fashion accessory:

Green cloak of elvish make and magic, given to her by a dear friend

Her signature look includes a grey dress that has been embroidered with other shades of grey and yellow. The style is inspired by lopapeysa. She often wears sturdy boots or soft, flat soled shoes. She has freckles. Had she grown up surrounded by magic, she would have grown horns.

Her outfits are handmade by me.

Name story:

The name is altered from "Adelaide," which is a name I fell in love with many years ago. I altered it to try and fit it in with the fantasy culture from her story.

Character age:

~20

Character gender:

female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Adlai is a faerie changeling. Her human mother caught her faerie mother trying to exchange babies, and kept both of the girls to raise. Years later, Adlai discovers her origin and leaves to explore her own identity and find her own path in life. I have a very in depth story worked out for her and hope to one day write a book or comic for her.

Concept Art (by me):



Concept art for her second character outfit is under the spoiler.

My vision for Adlai in this form turned out a little different in art than in reality, though the doll's outfit is not yet 100% complete.
