Chioma Abeni

Maker:
Alchemic Labo
Head Sculpt:
Chibi Unoa Roron
Skintone:
NS (dyed)
Body:
Chibi Unoa Roron
Sex:
Female
  • Face-up artist(s):
    Rosslyn
    Body blushing artist(s):
    Rosslyn
    Modifications artist(s):
    Rosslyn
    Date of acquisition:
    2015
    Provenance:
    UnoAlchemy is a legit dealer that sells B Grade Unoa dolls at slightly lower prices. I've just dyed her.
    Reason for choice:
    I wanted a doll who could be Black/"African" with the right dye job, (In her fantasy setting there's no Africa, I know, but you get the idea: There are Black people.) and she needed to have an exuberant amount of personality and a young teen body compared to other mature MSDs. She's not an adult yet, she's still very much a kid.
    Best Points:
    Expression faceplates! Also I love her size. She's so fun to hold.
    Worst Points:
    She really doesn't pose as well as my Minifees, but then, what does? FL has spoiled me a bit.
    (Story: Eddion) Chioma is one of four main characters in a fantasy story I have set in a world called Eddion. It's meant to be set in a late Iron Age period, not Medieval.
    The others are Nevae, Arkady, and Moira.
  • Eyes:
    Glib? I can't recall.
    Wig:
    Stella Maris custom commission
    Favourite colours:
    Chioma wears bright colors, especially blue. Her family is fairly wealthy.
    Fashion style(s):
    Her fashion is loosely inspired, like her home culture, by ancient West African nations.
    Key fashion accessory:
    Beads! And her gold woven headband.
    Chioma dresses as befits a young girl born to rank and privilege, who also simply can't resist fun, flashy jewelry. Her accessories usually have a bit of gold in them, and she loves to wear bright, richly colored clothes and jewelry, as a young aristocrat in a successful family. As her story has her traveling, she adapts her outfits with adjustments for the weather, but usually she is in a well made ensemble dyed a vibrant and expensive blue.
  • Name story:
    Chioma is a girl's name in Igbo, a nod to the West African cultures that inspired her home nation.
    Character age:
    She's about 14
    Character gender:
    Female
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
    Chioma is a young teen girl from the City of Bronze in the empire of Esquiorre. She's trying to make her way in a wider world that she's only learned about, and running into all kinds of trouble. Her best friend is a big dog she adopted during her travels.. or he adopted her. It's hard to say by now, but they are inseparable.

    I agree, her wig is phenomenal! I wish there were more people out there who could take ethnic hair commissions...I'd try to do it with my dolls more often if that were the case. I can't work with fiber and I am waaay to afraid to even think about dying a doll....but you really know what you're doing, ha ha.

      Aw thank you! I got handy with dye from experience and experimenting after a ton of research, so don't be afraid to try it with scrap resin or company color samples if you can get a hold of some. Starting out with Rit is easier to remove than the rich dark stain from IDye Poly.

    Her wig is just amazing! And her expression is so vibrant and alive, without any Uncanny Valley! (I can't believe this is dye, it's so smoothly done!)

      Thank you so much! I had a fun time with the iDye Poly and where I did get splotches, pan pastels covered it up. Luckily her faceplates were pretty smooth.
