Reason for choice:

The head just really suited her character

Best Points:

Head suits her character perfectly, and body is so pretty

Worst Points:

Head has sort of shallow eye wells, so it can be a bit tricky to get small eyes in.

Black synthetic from a trade

Syn is a big fan of being heavily, heavily armoured. Otherwise we’re looking at a lot of dark leather.

Name story:

Syn—Syndra is a name I invented for her, but I do love telling the Dnd party she plays in that none of them are free of Syn.

Character age:

180-ish

Character gender:

A girl except when she’s not

Offsite roleplay:

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

Syn is the latest of 7 incarnations of a girl killed by a lich, who the lich is obsessed with. Every time he kills her, an underworld goddess—the raven queen—reincarnates her. She thinks either the goddess finds it funny, or wants her to kill the lich, maybe both. Her past lives have been multiple genders, and in her native language, the pronoun she uses basically translates to “she except when she isn’t” rather than being a strictly gendered form of pronoun. She uses any pronouns in common speech—most often she/her, but sometimes they/them, he/him, or as some shadar kai do, uses her sylvan pronouns modified for common when talking to other shadar kai.
