Daloki – Part 2: The Slayers

There was nothing about the Blue Moon to warn Daloki of its dangers. To her amazement, food and drink were free (though the food came nowhere near the standards of the Inn of Worlds’ menu), and the patrons of the tavern were interesting, almost all of races she’d never heard of before. Yes, her smart mouth got her in trouble, but she made friends, particularly with Raelin Wolvarian Aero, a Nyxarian, and a half-elf shape-shifting magician who went by Kayion Ravagarde. Devek Slayter, a Felis – once he got over being pissed off at her because of a wisecrack or two – became a friend, as did Zazel the Ravyn-King and a few others.

Elexin Harbindale

The courtly gentleman vampire Elexin Harbindale became a friend as well. Actually, she nursed a secret crush on him, but since he looked to be a gorgeous 22 to her plain 37, she just laughed at herself about it. Continue reading

Daloki – Part 1: Worlds’ Crossing

Daloki Mauvais was 37 when she came to Hellifyno, a human with extraordinary mental powers. She came by way of the Haven spaceport, an escaping stowaway, and dove through a portal, pointed out to her by a convenient, kindly stranger, that led her to Worlds’ Crossing. With the few coins she’d managed to steal along the way, she was able to get a penny-a-night room at the Inn of Worlds.

She’d shaken off her pursuers. She was safe. Continue reading

Nelly Zagurian – RolePages character amigurumi doll

For her crocheted amigurumi doll, Nelly wanted warm skin, brown eyes and “generous curves,” a scoop neck top, and pleated lavender skirt and “purple-mauve” hair. Fortunately, she found a picture of some nail polish in the color she meant by “purple-mauve,” and I was able to find yarn to match.

The generous curves aren’t really apparent, but I think I did a good job with the rest. What do you think, Nelly?

Nelly Zagurian Amigurumi

Amigurumi Doll – Nelly Zagurian from RolePages.com

This was the first time I’d done a human amigurumi, and I learned some new techniques doing it – like how hard it is to do arms with worsted-weight yarn, because they are so slender. Now I tend to use DK or sport yarn for humanoid figures. The pattern I used here called for worsted.

Doll based on the Mini Free Spirit Doll from By Hook, By Hand, as are the bodice and shoes. The skirt is my own design.

Yarn:

  • Body, Caron Simply Soft in Bone.
  • Hair: Caron Simply Soft Light in Magenta.
  • Dress and shoes: Fashion Style Bamboo (found on eBay)
