All You Really Need is a Ball-jointed Doll

 Happy Holidays, this seems to be the time of season where everyone shows off their newly-recieved possessions. I will be doing so as well, but not the plural. My favorite gift of 2010's Christmas is this lovely and perfect Asian-style ball-jointed doll. Readers, meet Artemis Fae:



Name: Artemis Fae
Date of Birth: December 24, 2010
Age: 17
Sign: Capricorn
Doll type: Ashton Drake's Delilah Noir Debut Doll
Race: Human with abnormal mental capabilities

Personality:

Though not much sound is heard coming from her soft lips, Artemis has quite a bit to say. She is supremely intelligent, but often struggles with seperating reality from the deep corners of her mind. She has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but I believe these symptoms to be a result of her apparent psychic abilities and sixth sense. Artemis uses her mind in a way that many people do not understand. Though she may appear to be somewhat frightening and antisocial, she is kind and honest, and cares deeply for all things in the world around her (even if she herself is not always present within it). Artemis will share her unique views and ideas with anyone who is willing to listen with an open mind. She enjoys being in nature, reading and writing poetry, and collecting stones that sparkle. She is frequently plagued by nightmares, but is teaching herself to control them. She has displayed an extraordinary talent for music, which she seems to use as a peaceful gateway between her two worlds. She has recently taken a liking to belly dancing and is enchanted by any from of circus performance. Artemis appears to have a strong connection with the water and moon, resembling her namesake.

Artemis often speaks of a man named Vladimir who chases her in the night with a poisoned pitchfork. I have not yet found him to exist.

Beautifully minded and fantastically talented, Artemis is a wondrous enigma that the world has yet to understand.

About the doll:
I received Artemis as a Christmas gift from my loving grandparents. For years I admired the elegance and beauty of ball-jointed dolls and longed to own one. I discovered the Delilah Noir collection, and was delighted to have been given one. Artemis is my first BJD, and I look forward to continuing my collection. She is named for my personal favorite Greek deity: Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and for the Fae, a species of faerie.
