Sylvia

My little Sylvia, Tinyfairy May. She came to me second hand around January 2007. She was a basic doll and didn't even have eyes with her. I had thought about her background a little before she came to live with me, Tobi and Kaisla. I thought that May as a mold can look a bit more mature than some others, as well as very fragile and gentle. She has a custom face up by Jesmoth. She is really cute, and has nowadays 16mm glass eyes so that she does't look as scared as she did with the smaller ones. She has a background story, I might want to add that is kinda lame, but there is one. :P

Background story:
Sylvia was sold to a harem when she was 14 years old, by her relatives and harem. That was a custom in the land she lived, and it was not being a bad thing to happen for a girl. The family would've gotten some financial help and she would get a good marriage. She was a lively girl back then, and waited for her future as the sheik's (or kings?) wife, if the king wanted, to be given as a wife for one of king's sons or loyal servants. That would be honor for her and she would be granted with good future.
There is, how ever, a very unfortunate event, which changed the course of this girls life. She was once dancing alone in the palace garden when an outsider suddenly appeared. He was definitely lost in the garden where he shoud not be. He attacked poor Sylvia and ripped her clothes and tried to rape her. She was strugling against him and the guards came and took the man away. The outsider didn't get easy away from that. While after that, the man's friends got their revence and beat her up really badly. They also scarred her face. Again, she was saved before they could do her more harm. Sylvia, badly beaten and hurt, scar in the left side of her little face. Her king was very sad about the turn of events, he was worried of her mental health as he had thought of her to become a good wife for one of his youger sons. King decided to send her away for a while with one of his sisters, hoping a holiday would help Sylvia to gather her strengths, both fysical and mental.
During this holiday in a big spa, she met Tiffany, Tobi's auntie who decided to take the girl with her. Together with kings sister they planned everything and she finally came to live with Tobias and Tiffany. Sylvia is now very afraid of men, and is very shy with boys. She has come to understand that Tobias is no harm and thinks Tiffany as her "mother". She still likes dancing, singing, light blue colour and kittens. She hopes that someday she will be able to talk without stuttering all the time.
