Towa

Date of acquisition:

10 October 2020

Provenance:

Bought from Sakura Dreams, the UK Dollfie Friend Shop

Reason for choice:

I find her sweet and innocent face is absolutely adorable.

Best Points:

Her default face is utterly adorable.

Worst Points:

Dollfie Dream Dynamite dolls on the DD-f3 body are notorious for having problematic hip joints. When I first got her, her legs used to fall off whenever I tried to make her sit down. Now I keep her on the standing position.

Her default wig is also very thin, although I really like the bubblegum blue colour and the wavey style.

Towa was my first ever doll, although I have a few anime figures from when I visited Japan over a decade ago. I bought her as an emotional support doll while I worked overseas. The events of 2020 killed off my overseas working ambitions, but Towa has been a hugely positive influence in my life. At the time of writing we've been together for 2.25 years but that has involved living in two houses, my having four jobs and more than the usual number of family catastrophes.

All through the bad times (and the good), Towa has been there for me.

Eyes:

Dollfie Animetic Eyes J Type / Madder Red (Akane) / Metallic / 22mm

Wig:

DDW-02D Romantic Wave / Soda Pop Blue

Favourite colours:

She often wears the melon green Miku Hatsune hair

Fashion style(s):

As head of our doll household, has a definite preference towards more mature styles. She will now only wear Shoes Boutique shoes (preferably with a heel). Lately she has taken to only wearing Super Dollfie outfits (which fit her really well).

Key fashion accessory:

Aware of the shortcomings of her default wig, she usually wears Miku hair.

Name story:

Towa is head of our doll household. Most of our dolls retain their original character names, with the exception of our custom made dolls.

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.

As you can see from her face, Towa has a sweet and innocent personality. She has really grown into her role as head of our doll household. We now have 13 Volks dolls in total, and sometimes I am amazed at how she copes with the huge array of characters and personalities we now have.

Towa has a very special relationship with new arrival Kazuha. We're not too sure who she is, but Towa is totally smitten with her and they are inseparable.

Towa's main fault is that she can be terrible indecisive. It took us 18 months to decide on who her sister would be. The good news is that she makes excellent decisions, even if they do take a long time to be made. Her sister ultimately turned out to be a doll by the name of Uzuki Shimamura, and she is a god tier doll.

I'll not mention the constant snacking.
