Darian

Face-up artist(s):

Magic Time default

Date of acquisition:

Head Jan 2021, body Mar 2021

Provenance:

Head ordered through Legenddoll, body ordered through ACBJD

Reason for choice:

When I first started the hobby, I was sure I'd only ever get male dolls, but over time I started entertaining the idea of shelling a female OC I've had for a while. I couldn't decide on a head sculpt until I saw Gold on Legenddoll and he immediately screamed "I'm Darian!" I chose the Maskcat body for its delicate, relatively androgynous build and lovely sculpting.

Best Points:

Perfect resin match, gorgeous default faceup, androgynous body that can easily wear boy clothes

Worst Points:

Terrible head movement due to a flaw in the body's construction

Eyes:

16mm glass

Wig:

Black fiber

Favourite colours:

Black, dark blue, purple, gold, white, cream

Fashion style(s):

Ouji lolita

Key fashion accessory:

Big frilly cravats/bow ties

Name story:

I can't remember, as I came up with her name in high school...I think I wanted something vaguely fantasy-ish and relatively androgynous.

Character age:

21

Character gender:

Prince

Offsite roleplay:

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

A character from my novel The Sky Is Our Fortress, Darian is a prince who's out to claim her rightful throne. Due to various circumstances, she's never actually been to the floating city to which she's the heir, instead growing up on the desolate wasteland below. Her upbringing has made her tough and hardy, to the point where she doesn't think twice about fighting monsters and then wading into their guts to cut them up for food. At the same time, Darian's never forgotten about her destiny. She acts haughty and proud as befits a prince, with a natural charisma and force of will that's attracted a number of loyal followers.

More than just taking her throne, Darian is determined to change the world of Tielos for the better. When she's in charge, she'll force the floating city to share the magical power it's hoarding with the wasteland. It'll be a long journey to get there, though. Maybe it'll even require the help of some plucky kids from Earth?

She doesn't particularly care if you call her a boy or girl. Just as long as you remember the important part, which is that she's a prince.
