Souldoll Aehael box opening

My Souldoll Aehael finally arrived yesterday, after over 4 months of waiting! \o/ At first I was a bit unsure whether or not to post this box opening at all, since I've been feeling uncertain about this girl and considering selling her (even before her arrival), but after some thinking I figured that I'm going to give her a chance and see how it goes.

When I buy a new doll, I either buy one that fits an existing character in my and Sarg's story or in some cases I fell in love with the sculpt and want to create a new character around it. With Aehael it was the latter. However, during these months that I've waited for her I haven't gotten any ideas about her character and before yesterday the poor girl didn't even have a name... Which feels quite strange to me, since I'm used to having everything planned out before a doll's arrival ^^;

We chatted with Sarg and thought that Aehael could be Ophelia's little sister, so I started looking for a name that matches with Ophelia. Since it is a Greek name, I obviously looked at Greek names first and somehow tumbled on a bunch of mythology names. That's where I found the perfect one, Hespera. I think it matches nicely with Ophelia, without being too similar :)

Anyway, enough rambling for now! Let's move on to the photos :)

Yay there she is ;3; Besides Aehael, there are also a few Zenith girl hand parts that I added to my order after realizing that Lanarwen could use some extra hands!

All the stuff! Heel feet, horn, etc. were all packed separately :)

Souldoll always packs their dolls super carefully~ ♥ There's a face mask and Aehael's delicate fantasy ears were well-protected as well!

Slowly unwrapping...

Almost done!

I ordered my girl in sandy brown :) At the time I placed the order, I had no idea what it'd look like in person, but then Sarg's sandy brown Tera Zenith boy arrived and I knew what to expect. It's a really pretty resin color~ ♥

The horn is in gorgeous magenta-shaded transparent resin! I don't plan on using it though ^^; I only got this head instead of the human head because of the cute ears! The hole on the forehead can easily be covered with a wig.

Horn attaches to the head nicely with a magnet and seems to stay on pretty well. The color also matches nicely with her default eyes!

These are the eyes and wig that I was planning for her. The wig is one of Leekeworld's Art wigs and the eyes came with my Souldoll Junia. After trying them on Aehael though, I feel like they'd look better with pupils... So I probably need to buy another pair of eyes for her, and I'm still unsure about the wig as well ^^; Ugh, some dolls can be so difficult...

I do think she's a pretty doll and all, but I'm not bonding with her yet ;___; That's probably no wonder though, since she doesn't have a proper character plan nor faceup. Sarg promised to help me out with the faceup and maybe then I get a better idea on this girl and her future. I try to be optimistic, since I'd hate to part with this beauty! Hopefully things end up working out :3
