Ymara had a little adventure! ^_^

Took my girl Ymara to the beach when visiting my parents :D

This is a post I have been thinking about for a few days now.. and I wanted to wait till later at first. But it keeps playing in my head so I am just going to start now.

This post is about my first ever bjd character and the many forms she has had, from minor tweaks to sculpt changes.

Ymara started out pretty basic.. just an idea of a name when I first ordered my first ever bjd: Dollzone Shoyo.

At first it was just the doll and the wig she came with. I had fully inteded to keep her a ‘normal human’. That didn’t last long XD I ordered some eyes and eventually sculpted her a pair of horns. Still no big ideas of what she was...

I don’t know exactly when, but I decided she would be an air spirit. Along with that I also had her character start out as very naive and a bit ‘air headed’. I think she stayed like that for quite some time. Until after I got more dolls and started getting a bit out of touch with Ymara. First I tried changing her face-up and doing it myself.

I almost forgot that also came with a small wig change XD But her being single jointed and lacking great posing, meant this was the end of the Dollzone Shoyo sculpt for this character. I couldn’t sell her, so I gifted that doll to my mom.

In came the first Major change.. She got another new wig and a new sculpt in the Juri 13 event head from Fairyland. Then on the body I had from another old character I no longer have in doll form.

Eventually I got her a Moe-line body that I bought for another event head that just didn’t work out for me. And her face-up was done by the very talented @hasels-aesthetics​ whom also made this wig.

But I think this was around the time that two other things got into play. One: I made a game character of Ymara that severely changed her character for me. And was something I liked a lot better.

I don’t know exactly when I created her, but this one had a lot more fiesty character to her her and still had the sweet side.

And besides that my tastes were moving towards smaller dolls and that was the end of Ymara for a while in doll form.

I had a few more doll changes along the way but in the end I missed having Ymara as a character and I missed having a Pukifee.. so in the end that came together in bringing back Ymara as a doll in the form of a Pukifee Ena I was able to snap up second hand!

She still needs a face-up. But I know I want Hasel to do it again. I also brought back her new form in Miitopia on the Switch ^_^
