Makenshi

Face-up artist(s):

company default (damaged)

Date of acquisition:

November 5th, 2008

Provenance:

Adopted off a local doll forum from my now best friend!

Reason for choice:

Cutest face and sweet smile ♥

Best Points:

His sweet face and how shockingly well he poses for being single jointed! Very sturdy when sitting or standing or doing anything.

Worst Points:

Hand sculpting is not the best, but I love his hands anyway. Also he has to be strung without hooks in his hands or feet so it's awful to restring him. xD

He came to me with a damaged faceup and dents (dimples I say!) on his face from rough handling in his past. He's had at least 4 owners before me so he's been through a lot! At this point I'm too sentimental over him to wipe and redo his face..though I may send him out to be redone someday...maybe...he's so cute and charming as is though..

Makenshi's story starts off quite sad. Him and his brother lost their parents at a young age and were separated as they bounced between foster homes for many years, until Makenshi made his way here to the Safe House. Despite his rough start, he's a very cheerful and optimistic boy, who loves to learn and make friends. He has a small collection of stuffed animals, which he is often seen carrying around or sitting with as he studies. For him it's a form of emotional attachment and coping, more so than a hobby. He is homeschooled and still working on getting his GED. Recently, he started dating a girl he met online named Ivy, and they've met up a couple times since. (Ivy is owned by Kataxenna) Caspien is his best friend and the two are often seen together. His brother, Ryuto, lived at the Safe House with him for a little while before moving away again.
