I'd been attracted to the Iplehouse Carina sculpt when she was first released with Theo in the Noctarcana Circus version. Then she was released as a Basic in white skin and Normal, and I liked those versions, too. I like the "merry" eyes and the slight resemblance to Cate Blanchett.
So, a Carina was sort of on my Wish List, but after an Iplehouse Eva... However, a Carina came up on Ebay, pretty much exactly what I'd order, except for being white skin... but that difference I could live with. She was also less than buying new from Iplehouse, with free shipping, so I couldn't resist... even though I was trying not to buy any more dolls for a while. *Sigh*
I'm calling her Catriona, which just makes me confused. Cat or Catri for short. And she is to be paired up with my Valentin (Iplehouse Tedros).
