If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have two custom TrulyMe #64 dolls – Yuna, and a second one that I customized slightly by giving her a Chocolate Cake Beautifully Custom wig. I haven’t made her introductory post until now, because I’ve been tweaking her backstory.
So, without further ado, say hello to Anne Mizukawa!
It was Anne’s mom who came up with her name. She fell in love with the Anne of Green Gables books as a kid, and decided if she ever had a girl, she would incorporate the name in some way. For Anne’s 10th birthday, her parents surprised her with a trip to Prince Edward Island to see the real Green Gables. Mr. Mizukawa wasn’t sure who was more excited, Anne or his wife.
Anne and her literary namesake would definitely be “kindred spirits.” Both have active imaginations that take them on wild rides at times. Once, at a sleepover, Anne crafted such a terrifying and somehow believable ghost story of a haunted apple, she and her friends couldn’t bring themselves to eat any for three months!
She loves entering short story contests at school, and even had one of her stories performed on stage by a traveling troupe of actors! It was the talk of her class for the entire year!
Anne would love to be an author when she grows up. She knows it’s a hard industry to break into, but her parents encourage her to keep writing, keep reading, and keep improving her style. She loves to daydream about what it’ll be like when she’s a famous author. She’s already asked Mia to design all of her book covers, too.
She’s also proving to be really good at keeping important secrets. Anne is also the only one who know’s Yuna‘s true heritage. To everyone else, Yuna is half-Japanese and half-Russian, but Yuna and her family are actually from a world called “Spira” – where she’d be half-Yevonite and half-Al Bhed. Anne teaches Yuna about American and Japanese culture and Yuna tells Anne all about her life on Spira. Anne would love to write a book about Yuna’s world someday. Or who knows, maybe a video game… 😉
Okaeri, Anne! (Welcome home, Anne!)
