Echo Minou


I'm Starting with Echo, at first it seemed important to start in chronological order but Lilly is away for a face-up, and Toki's story revolves some-what around Lilly so I'm Starting with Echo who is Lilly's best friend. When I saw Echo for sale, I knew I had to have her, First I saw the cat eyes and ears and thought "she can be my cheshire cat" but after looking at more pictures I knew she had to stay Echo and she had to be mine!

 There was a gorgeous picture of her in a green top labelled Gamer chick and I thought of her as a bit tomboyish but when she arrived she came in a green dress and I lacked trainers and tomboyish clothes so she became a character who may have once been a tomboy but now is a cute and sexy blonde (with a few confidence issues). One Character trait I have given her is to (almost) always wear green. Echo is a musician trying to make it big, through a few accidents (both written and my own clumbsiness) her guitar is broken and she has resorted to returning to college to live on a students wage, busking (before the guitar broke) and doing the occasional modelling job. She bunks with Lilly after she was ripped off by a con man pretending to be a with a record label. She is loyal to her friends, and works hard to help them out. Minou means Kitten in French (or pussy but the cat kind not the rude kind) In her Bio I wrote her mother to be an Aristocat and her Father to be part of the "Felidae" cat clan. In real life Felidae is a family of cats (Felidae wiki) in my story they are a large wealthy family similar to the Rothschild family (or the mafia but without the drugs and danger) I have hardly thought about these details since I wrote them but I think I will weave them in to the picfic more (along with some thundercats refferences of course). She is in her early 20's (22 maybe).
Echo met Lilly at the age of 10, like Lilly she was often picked on for her odd appearances and the two bonded instantly, she has always been close with Lilly and Friendly with Lilly's brother Kiro. As a My Melody she has a range of musical ablities. On the Surface she seems confident and bubbly but deep down she is confused about her own identity. She has a crush on Toki but is unaware that he has feelings for Lilly.

The Body problem

Recently the thing that has been on my (dolly) mind is bodies, I am a pretty curious person and I like to try and explore all my options. Other than normal pullip bodies the only replacement options I have purchased are obitsu. So I ended up with two pullips on obitsus and Zuora on a normal pullip body.





I can't quite decide if I want to replace her body as her skin tone is hard to match and I like that her pullip body makes her shorter however compared to her obitsued friends she feels lacking as obitsus offer great flexibility, nicer figures and a range of hand options, the floppyness and the fact they keep falling apart is frustrating.
So I was led to consider other options. So far I can think of 3alternatives: Azone, Liv and Fashionista. Fashonista is out because barbie bodies are horrible and not my cup of tea.
 Liv offers a close skin match but I hate that there is only one bust size but then again so do normal pullip bodies, so I am unsure. This leaves Azone but after further research I found they look a bit strange and really childish on pullips so that leaves them out too.
