So the last to show off is Lini, my newest bitty baby. She is a Dollzone MiniBB Luna. She's smaller than a Yo - about Lati Yellow size. She has huge eyes! XD She moves really well and has excellent posability and balance - go DZ! I think she's cute. :3 I got her second hand off DoA and after some frustration with her faceup being a mess on arrival, I wiped her and sent her off to Belladonna with the boys.
What I asked was basically this: Lots of pink. Lini is a carniverous Fairy. She should look terribly cute from afar with enough detail close up that you start noticing she's really evil-looking; off-putting enough that you start thinking she might eat you if you turn your back! >D
What I got was pretty darn perfect. X3
Lini's story: Lini is a Fairy. Yes, the same kind of Fairy that Doyle is constantly yelling at people for calling him. The evil little bastards that eat people. They love sidhe flesh, especially when it's still wriggling. Get me? Not the nice kind of fairy, okay? Fairies are about 2 feet tall and typically super skinny, almost skeletally skinny, and their bones are hollow like birds so they're really light. They have wings and yes, they do fly.
Fairies are cousins to Pixies, except while Pixies are mischevious, they're generally not sadistic, flesh-eating carnivores who thrive on blood and battle. Fairies... are. Lini differs slightly from her Fairy family in that she is significantly better fed, and has to work a lot less hard for her food. As a result, she's not anything like skinny; in fact, you might say she waddles somewhat. She's too heavy to fly, but she's still super strong like the rest of her kin and has wicked sharp teeth. How did she get like this? Well... most fairies live with other fairies that they have to share their kill with. They also have to go out and kill animals or... other fae, and waste a lot of effort hunting in packs only to divide it up. This uses a lot of energy for a limited amount of food. Lini lives here, on Earth, surviving by basically attaching herself permanently to someone's side and funneling energy through this person to themselves to keep them from Fading (fae term, if you don't know it just think: getting sick and dying, which fae will do when they are cut off from the magical energy of faerie). She hunts on her own and it's not really hard when most humans look at a little 2-foot waddling doll-thing and think 'oh, that's not a threat'. One 6-foot human feeds one tiny fairy for quite a while. >3
Lini is also different in that while most Fairies don't make deals with anything other than another Fairy, Lini has been making deals with the Big Folk for a very long time while doing her thing on Earth - since she's alone here. One of her deals was with Alex. Now she owes him. Big time. She is repaying him by acting as Pru's bodyguard, essentially. She's attached herself to Pru. Pru carries her around like a doll. Everywhere. Lini eats anyone silly enough to threaten Alex's god-daughter. Lini gets to stay well-fed and gets the protection of living with Pru and her Mom, and Jane (the human bodyguard), in a place where she herself is relatively safe and no one is trying to kill her per say. All in all, it's not the worst deal for Lini, and she's a good bodyguard for Pru. So everyone's happy. XD
Picture-taking began at 8am so forgive the few dark ones. ^^;
Lini:
Lini: *giggling* My, my, aren't you a cute one? Why don't you come closer so I can see you better?
me: Lini, it's me. You know me. And more importantly... I know you. I'm not falling for your act.
Lini: *giving up the act with a shrug* Oh. Well, whatever... >> What are you doing out and about this early?
Lini: Don't tell me... you were looking for me?
Lini: *getting up and dusting herself off, obviously irritated* Thanks for the thought, but I really don't need the company. I'll be just fine out hun-- *coughcough* err... out wandering on my own for a little while, at least. *walks off*
me: *following*
Lini: *sitting down again and turning to me* Look. Really. Go away. I'm okay on my own.
me: *looking at her short little legs* But you're so tiny...
Lini: I'm not tiny, I'm just smaller than you. I'm a perfectly good height. Now go away.
Lini: *unimpressed face* You're still following me.
me: I have to admit something...
Lini: Really? *unsurprised*
me: Alex asked me to look after you this morning. He's err... concerned... about who you might be... err...
Lini: Having for dinner?
me: Err... yes.
Lini: *long-suffering sigh* Why does he even care... It's not like I'm eating his friends, or anything...
me: Ya, that's not really the point. Friends or not... you know... there's certain people the world is better off without and then there are like... teachers and... cops and... people the world is better off with if you leave them alone.
Lini: *feigning perfect innocence* I don't know why he should be concerned. I'm always careful who I pick. I don't go after anyone who'll be missed. Trust me. ;)
me: ... The wink's a little creepy.
Lini: You worry too much.
Lini: *tugging off her hat and arranging her bangs in her best cute, little girl style. Utterly innocent* Now... if you could just plunk me down by that tree over there... there's this guy that's been coming by the kid's place every morning roundabout when she's leaving for school. It's kinda creepy and I should really take care of that, don't you think?
me: Err... *putting her down by the tree* You're sure about this?
Lini: Oh, ya... total scumbag. Trust me, I know the type. Won't nobody be missin' 'im...
me: You don't tell Pru what you do, right?
Lini: What? Are you freaking kidding me? You think I'm that dumb?
me: Err... no?
Lini: You are really close to annoying me. Now get lost so I can take care of this already. I'm starving~
Lini: Heehee...
