Yay, ninja'ed from zes~

1. What is your name (or preferred username) and birthday?

Eithne von Sayn
Lothar Schultz (aka Kitty)

5. What type of dolls do you have?
Elfdoll Sooah and Volks White Cat Chris

6. Do you believe in the concept of 'a fated meeting'? (such as Volks refers to -- the idea that you and your doll were destined to meet one day)
I suppose so. I met Fraud and my fate in this hobby is set >.>

7. Who is the manufacturer of your dolls?
Elfdoll, Volks

8. If you have made your own doll, what are some of your thoughts regarding it, and the problems you encountered along the way? If you haven't made your own doll, what did you feel when you met your doll for the first time?
When I met Eithne -> Wah, she looks like she has an attitude problem. And the sponge Elfdoll packed her in is hilarious =p
When I met Lothar -> He's here~! On Christmas eve too

9. Have you ever been to a dollshow?
Nope. One day I shall!

10. Do you think that you would want to make your own dolls? Or, do you think that you would like to customise BJD?
Not really. I have 0 confidence in my art sense and handicraft skills.

11. Between BJD and custom-made dolls, which do you think are the good points of each type?
BJD = versatile and not as fragile as custom made dolls
Custom = uniquely yours

12. Have you given your dolls a particular personality, etc? What is it?
Eithne is independant, confident, quite cold and does not care about others, She can be really sweet to the few she trusts, though she's resistant to shed her armored shell. She dislikes humans as a whole.
Lothar works hard and plays hard. Although he's naughty, he still exudes certain naivety. Yes, and he loves fish...

13. What relationship do you share with your dolls? (ie children, siblings, etc)
Something like a guardian I guess? They left their homes for some reason or other and ended up here in my care.

14. Do you have any nickname or pet name for any of your dolls? (see notes)
Eithne: dear, sweetie
Lothar: kitty

15. Conversely, is there any kind of way of referring to them or way of handling them that you would prefer not to do?

19. Is there anything else that you're planning to buy just for your dolls?
It's mainly clothes now. I want a metal round table (the ornate garden type) and matching chairs if there are any. I get other accessories as and when I see and like them.

20. What was the most expensive thing you've ever bought for your dolls?
I guess it's the Violetfern cremo coyle outfit.

21. When you go out, do you take your dolls with you?

Just put them in whatever big bag that can take them.

25. When you're taking your dolls out with you, is there anything in particular that you are extra careful about?
Crossing the MRT gantry. I couldn't get through the gate with the big bag the first couple of times I tried to take the train with them.

26. Do your dolls have friends? Do you think your dolls would like to have friends?
I guess they have. Eithne keeps to herself more, but I think she's better able to communicate with Cian on arcane stuff. Lothar is just bully-able so I think he does and can make more friends.

27. Do you want a boy doll (or more boy dolls)?
Hmm... I dunno really. I want a tiny, but not set on the gender.

Lothar: White or blonde.

32. Is there a particular reason that made you chose that colour?
Eithne: I like that colour on her
Lothar: Blonde as he's german. White since I like the white kitty wig he came with.

33. Do you like to braid, style, put clips in, or otherwise change your doll's hair often?
I don't style their hair, but I do change them now and then.

34. Do you change their hair (wig) from day to day? And just how many wigs do you own?
I change them infrequently. Lothar has 2 wigs I would use and 1 I couldn't stand. Eithne uses 3, though she has a total of 7 wigs (the 4 I don't use couldn't fit her nicely, and I refuse to use velcro).
So... 10 and 2 on the way if there's stock as well as a planned one that I haven't bought.
