meet Liu🐚🫧
Hey, so this is my first paola reina doll and she is so special to me, I created some story of her life (u can tell I like the AG conception), It's quite long but I would be glad to hear some feedback 🥰 👇🏼
also I drew some sketch of her and made some pinterest board with her aesthetic and how I imagine her in real life 👉🏼🐚
*Liu is ten years old. She is in fifth grade and enjoys biology, drawing, and literature. Liu is fascinated by the ocean and the creatures living in it, and when she grows up, she dreams of becoming a marine zoologist. She loves collecting seashells and little beach stones during trips, as well as figurines of sea animals made by Schleich, CollectA, and Papo, about which she knows many interesting facts.
She likes appearing smart, though at the same time she feels as if people expect that from her because she is Asian, and that pressure weighs on her. Her favorite movies are "Free Willy", "Pirates of the Caribbean" (especially the fourth movie with the mermaids), the TV series "H2O: Just Add Water", and absolutely all the documentaries by National Geographic and BBC. Her favorite colors are differents shades of blue and turquoise. She wishes she had ocean-blue eyes, but hers are brown.
Recently, she became fascinated with the "Anne of Green Gables" book series and begged her mother for a similar dress. Now she imagines herself as a grown-up scientist living sometime in the past, exploring an ocean that is still almost completely undiscovered. Last month, a Japanese artist visited her school to give a workshop on Japanese calligraphy, and Liu was so captivated that she signed up for a club and has been attending it for a month already. She loves the way letters turn into pictures, as well as the smell of paper and ink, though ink requires care because it is very easy to stain yourself with it.
Her favorite animal is the stingray. To her, they seem like the birds of the sea — ancient creatures as old as dinosaurs.
Liu was adopted when she was only one year old, and now that she is almost a teenager, despite loving her parents, she sometimes finds it strange that her European parents wanted a child from Japan. Once, during an argument, she even told them that they had chosen Liu like some exotic toy, taken her away from her homeland, and now she feels like a stranger everywhere she goes. She did not entirely mean it that way, but lately it had become difficult for her to express her thoughts without sounding harsh or hurtful.
What Liu disliked most at school were the boys. She watched crushes, drama, and scandals unfold among her classmates and tried to stay as far away from the boys in her class as possible. The thing she found most disgusting was seeing her male classmates in swim trunks during swimming lessons. In fact, last week Liu discovered that lesbians exist — that a woman can love and live with another woman — and ever since then she has considered herself a lesbian, though she has not told her parents yet.
Liu loved swimming because, in the quiet beneath the water, she often imagined herself riding on the back of a whale or holding onto a dolphin’s fin. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not learn how to dive properly and that upset her, because summer vacation is coming soon, so Liu has to learn how to do that before the trip to the sea, wich she is so excited for. Still, her mother always told her that if she kept trying, eventually everything would work out.*
