Heron

Face-up artist(s):

Date of acquisition:

Body February 2018, head June 2018

Provenance:

Head is secondhand from DOA marketplace, body came direct from company

Reason for choice:

Originally I was going to shell the character as an Sio2 Little Prince, and that's who I bought the body for, but when I got Little Prince I realized he just didn't work for the character. So I went searching for a new shell, and eventually decided on Asleep Eidolon Fay. As luck would have it, I was able to find a Fay head pretty quickly on the MP.

Best Points:

I adore his delicate, sweet, and ethereal features. His little overbite is unspeakably cute. I like the way the body is sculpted and the feel of its resin, and the resin match isn't too bad either.

Worst Points:

The body's neck is slightly wider than the head hole, though it can be hidden with a wig. Weird elbow and knee jointing somewhat limit posing.

Eyes:

Oscar-Doll 16mm Violet Autumn 2

Wig:

Licht 2.5 synthetic fiber

Favourite colours:

Lavender, gold, pale blue, white

Fashion style(s):

Loose, light flowing silks and lots of jewelry.

Key fashion accessory:

His butterfly headdress

Name story:

I wanted a graceful, elegant bird-themed name.

Character age:

Unknown (appears about 15)

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

"Tonight, the moon is out. I want to dance."

Heron is a character from my novel Curseborn. He's actually a doll, a life-sized one made of porcelain, who was created and given life by a mysterious figure called the Witch of Wishes. And that's all Heron can remember, because when the protagonists find him on an abandoned beach, he's lost all his memories. At first, he's weird and spacey, if not a little bit creepy at times, with not the slightest clue how to interact with people. However, as he spends more time with his friends and learns more about the world, he develops a kind, gentle personality and a caring heart. Among the few things he does remember are his love of dancing and the dim sense that he's meant for a greater purpose...
