Date of acquisition:

08/24/24

Provenance:

Head bought off marketplace with COA, body bought from Christina with COA

Reason for choice:

I love the look of the chonky msd bodies and I got recommended to get a shoushou doll doudou when I wanted help with shelling. Couldn't find the shoushou doll but found a puyoodoll head that works great

Best Points:

The posing is great and really just clicks together, the hip locks are really nice

Worst Points:

Still getting used to the split peanut in the elbows, it's finnicky...

I guess I wanted to expand on why I wanted to even take on this project, this character I found out about when I was 15, and I really related to her being soft spoken and interested in alt fashion, as well as her character exhibiting some symptoms I associate with my presentation of autism. I've cosplayed as her in the past, and generally she is a comfort character I look at fondly for a time of my life where things were different. I also wasn't going to wait 20 years for Volks to release an official version of her when I could do it myself fine.

Eyes:

Custom eyes by secret art studio

Wig:

Also custom made

Favourite colours:

Black, white, red, but her image color is ice blue

Fashion style(s):

Hmmmm some subgenre of goth, depends on the art of her

Key fashion accessory:

Idk her ear piercings?

Her character is pretty heavily inspired by goth fashion and there are callbacks to many different horror themes in her clothes, so me choosing a skeleton themed outfit is pretty canon compliant. I want her entire closet.
I cannot praise enough how well secretartstudio did on her eyes, she even remade them on request when I wanted a detail included. The eyes are very high quality and I will buy more and commission more ♡

Name story:

The particular kanji of her first name means small plum, the character is 142cm so I feel the small part is accurate, and plums symbolize elegance?

Character age:

13 years old

Character gender:

Female

Offsite roleplay:

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

She's a shell of a pre-existing character from the idolm@ster franchise and shares the same characteristics, being extremely shy, interested in all things horror (especially zombies), and being very cute.
