Aloe

Face-up artist(s):

Factory faceup

Date of acquisition:

March 1, 2022

Provenance:

Denver Doll Emporium

Reason for choice:

I’ve wanted a BJD for so long, and when I saw a Resinsoul doll in stock on their website while browsing, I was like “wait I actually have the money for this” and snatched her up right away!

Best Points:

Super cute face sculpt and very pretty hands. Her body is overall very elegant. She can also stand extremely well!

Worst Points:

As of now, her arms and left leg are really kicky but that can probably be fixed with a good restringing :) Her head also has pretty much zero posability right now, which I’ve heard is a common problem with Resinsoul dolls, that can also be fixed with restringing.

Eyes:

Default random eyes (blue)

Wig:

LeekeWorld Beatrice in Dark Cocoa, LeekeWorld Emersen in Soft Brown

Favourite colours:

Blue and Yellow!

Fashion style(s):

Cutesy, bright colors, and also just whatever I put on her LOL

Her watermelon outfit is made by me! Aloe also has a blue daisy-print dress made by cottonhoney on Etsy! She was previously wearing a unicorn-themed set from DreamdollBJDWorkshop on Etsy. It came with a dress, a bodysuit, petticoat, tights, a very cute necklace, and a ring. It’s amazingly made, I really recommend their shop!

Name story:

To be honest, I couldn’t figure out a name for her after originally choosing “Millie” but not really liking it after getting her. I resorted to browsing a list of Pokémon character names (I love Pokémon and names of characters in Pokémon generally have a very cool sound to them). Aloe (pronounced Ah-lo-eh) is the Japanese name of Lenora, a normal-type Gym Leader from my favorite region, Unova! Since it would be kind of weird telling people her name is "Ah-lo-eh" I just say "Ah-low". I also just think it's a super cute name :)

Character age:

Late Teens

Character gender:

Female (she/her)

Offsite roleplay:

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

Aloe has a fun, peppy personality. She actually only recently showed me this part of her personality, so I'm still figuring it out
