It's a doll!

This little girl used to be my Sweet Punk Girls! Aika. I've had her for several years, but I never liked her very much. There's just something odd about Aika, who's usually a brunette with side-swept bangs, with long, straight banana blond hair and helmet bangs. XD So Kristen finally rerooted her for me with a blend of Restoredoll saran in Cognac, Stacy Titian and Original Blonde.

For the longest time, I couldn't think of a single hair color that looked good with her cobalt blue eyes. Black would have been all right, but I already have a rerooted Aika with black hair. Dark brown would have been good but then she'd have looked too much like Wicked Style II Aika. I think this red blended color worked out great. It shimmers in natural light. :D

I renamed her Cassia, because of her likeness to my rerooted Fanny Fanny Himeno, Cinnamon. And as you may or may not know, the spice commercially available as "cinnamon" is actually cassia.

Oh gosh, she's lovely. I really like this kind of hairstyle/color with her sweet faceup. She's a beauty! :D

Thank you! XD I'm glad she turned out so well. In her original state I wasn't sure what to do with her! I'm not used to seeing Aika with such light coloring.
