Faraway Forest Collection - The Water Sprite

     I was finally able to get the next doll in the Faraway Forest collection and boy, is she a beaut! The outside box is white, just as The Lady of the White Woods had and the back has a description on it. 

     "The Magical Lagoon is a fortnight's journey from the Elf Village as the crow flies. As our intrepid elf guide traverses through meadows, mountains and the foreboding Dark Forest, the winding path finally yields to a resplendent blue lagoon. It's a destination that often delights our guide. From the lush foliage that surrounds the lagoon to the sunlight glinting off the azure pool, it's the gleaming gem of the Faraway Forest. 

As is customary when visiting this distant land, our lovely elf princess sits by the water's edge and waits patiently. She's careful not to gaze into the water, for seeing her own beautiful reflection may cross she who enchants these waters: The Faraway Forest Sprite. Slowly, she emerges from the lagoon, her luminous skin the hue of the sea. She is a radiant beauty, protector and friend to the creatures that reside in and around her aqueous realm."

      I love the little story on the back and how it gives little clues as to who these dolls are. I hope to read all of the story when the line is over. I'll be sad to see it go, but will be glad to have the whole set. 

      The doll itself is gorgeous! She has light blue skin, long shimmery blue hair and a GORGEOUS dress! The skirt of the dress has a scale-like pattern with two shimmery blue ruffles on the side. Her jewelry consists of two bracelets with fins, an iridescent necklace which goes from purple to blue and a crown made of shells. Her shoes are see through booties. She also comes with a trident as her weapon in case she needs to defend her lagoon.

I have yet to take these dolls out of their boxes as I don't have a good place to display them. I can't wait to do so though! I have loved all of the dolls in this series so far and cannot wait to see what comes next!
