Peasblossom
"I’ll give thee fairies to attend on thee,
And they shall fetch thee jewels from the deep
And sing while thou on pressèd flowers dost sleep.
And I will purge thy mortal grossness so
That thou shalt like an airy spirit go.—
Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mote, and Mustardseed!"
-William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
Made as a prop for a stage tech class, she lights up and is constructed with posable arms and a fixed position lower body, to allow her to sit on a hypothetical actor's shoulder.

Fun Fact! I have been in Midsummer three times (once as Peaseblossom), and the doll's flower crown is made from my 4th grade fairy costume!
Elaine + Sylvie
"Sylvie often complains of her cousin's old fashioned ways. Elaine has little interest in the bright lights and loud music of the human world, preferring retreat to the comfort of the old green places yet untouched by the soft and careless children of the digital age"

"She moved through the world like a fallen queen, battle weary, regal, old as time. There was a time, she remembered, when she shone with all the colors of her galaxy. She was bone white now, from head to toe, excepting a crimson streak in her thin hair. A bloody remnant."

She was originally intended to be Nina Zenik from the Six of Crows duology, but the idea changed because I dropped the project for a while and picked it up again while I was working on a production of Macbeth. The red thread is a nod to that production.
