Juliya Lebedev

Face-up artist(s):

Default face-up with requested changes

Body blushing artist(s):

n/a

Modifications artist(s):

n/a

Tattoo artist(s):

n/a

Date of acquisition:

08/24/24

Provenance:

Bought directly from Supiadoll, body bought second hand w/ coa

Reason for choice:

I really struggled to find a headsculpt + faceup combo I really liked, but I really fell in love with Naomi and Supiadoll was kind enough to work with me on making her look beautiful

Best Points:

The head looks beautiful and honestly Supiadoll is up there with some of my favorite company faceups

Worst Points:

The thigh joint on the ballerina body frustrates me to no end and restringing her has always been a pain.

Eyes:

14/6mm eyes from with long wind on taobao

Wig:

A wig from zazou dolls on etsy

Favourite colours:

Pinks, peaches, surprisingly similar to Giselle

Fashion style(s):

This girl is nuts about ballet, her casual wear is stuff she'd wear to a ballet class and I'm trying to forget she needs a Juliet costume

Key fashion accessory:

Her pointe shoes I don't wanna make

A few things inspired my styling for her and overall concept:
-The ballet dolls I've seen on IG really made me nostalgic for my own ballet childhood seeing the big girls dance
-The Barbie as Titania collector doll I had as a kid and was my favorite Barbie so I gave Juliya her beautiful hair color
-The Barbie as Juliet collector doll in the same collection I still have from my childhood and really inspired my take on the Juliet costume...eventually.

Name story:

Similar to Roman, I chose Juliya as a varient of Juliet so not terribly deep. Lebedev apparently means swan in Russian and given how ballerinas have been compared to swans, we got Swan Lake, it seemed like the perfect choice.

Character age:

Early 20's

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

Like Roman, I do want her to tell me who she is, but for now I imagine her as being a girl absolutely dedicated to her job as a prima ballerina and raised as a dancer since she was a toddler just like her older sister. She is deeply passionate about dance and it's how she met a young, besotted Roman so for her it's always special and the two of them have a great bond that shows in their work.
