Rumiko

Rumiko! The (little witch/bitch trapped inside a) 30-year-old woman, dollmaker, dollnanny, business lady and owner of "Bigtime Toys" her mom ~and pop~ (not in the picture grrr) family business (she's the mom and the family is her dollies!!) doll outlet and "repair shop" she prefers to call "healing" where precious dollies of all kinds await their forever homes! Balljoints, stuffed dolls, fumo voodoo or porcelain! Doll accessories, too! Dresses, hats, hair, shoes, parts and care products. All in a little townhouse on a cobbled street with the entrance a narrow glass door, flanked by two big display windows, painted letters, draped with heavy dark pink curtains. She has it all just right! Every shelf, every display case, all the neat little scenes and props arranged just so that it's as if the dolls live here with her because they do. They always listen to Rumiko and never do anything bad because the stuffing in their head simply allows for no naughty thoughts hehe. They are like little people, but better! The world would be so much nicer if it was dolls instead of people, wouldn't it? Humans grow up and that's bad for business. Oh yes she's a business lady. Smart, modern, sophisticated, mean! Knows what she wants! Has a computer AND a telephone (cordless)! And... a vision! You see, what good is it when you give a precious young child a toy from Child World, or Big Lots, or Toys-R-Us? What's the point of a toy then!? No no, all the little ladies and fairies and princesses must must must! come to Bigtime Toys and let Rumiko pick out their perfect new friends! (and earn lots of money and get to play with them, and look at them lots and watch them, and some of them let her pick them up.....) Oh yes Rumiko's FAVOURITE customer is a lovely little girl who's about to leave with a new best friend ~ ♥! THAT is what she reaaaally gets out of bed for mhfkjd ♥!!!! Little girls dragging their mommies back to her shop! Costumes, face paint and puppet shows! Being close to little girls! Fussing over their clothes and hair and poking and squishing their cheeks making their lips do the fish thing (and sometimes clipping a lock of hair when nobody looks) and pinning gold stars in their hair and helping them pick out the perfect doll! A doll needs to be stuffed with girl souls moonlight love and dreams. Lifelong connection!! It makes Rumiko warm inside to make a girl happy. But boys..? Shudder BLUACH! Rumiko's ALLERGIC! No no no, boys, they don't know how to LOVE! There are NO BOYS ALLOWED! in Rumiko's toy shop and oh if they dare!!! If a boy decides to wander in, OH then... she's gonna give him a BAD time! (BAD stands for Become-A-Doll!!!)

Rising early from her canopy bed in her upstairs quarters (NO ENTRY) for eggs on toast and a green tea, does her hair and gets dressed, she'll be on her feet all day long, keeping the shop floor pristine, tending to customers or working in her back room alchemy lab/workshop. Tailoring new clothes, outfits, pretty dresses, socks, maybe a bobble hat to keep them warm. Maybe polka dot or floral or stripes, maybe purple or yellow, pink or blue... New little chairs and tables and beddings and couches... Maybe crafting something that's dying into something that will never die? Not all little girls are meant to grow up and become big girls. See, hasn't she fixed it...? Oh but who's gonna understand li'l old Rumiko? Some are just too darling to watch them grow up, and be swallowewd whole by the big world out there. "You know, if you really love something," Rumiko believes, "you should lock it in a glass box, where it's kept safe and you can look at it."

Rumiko has dark brown hair tied in two gold ornated hair buns. A short and thick figure, often wears her favourite dark black and gold striped dress uniform w/sequins all over (she LOOOVES stripes. and glittery things.) with boots (cute mode) or slippers (comfy mode). Her eyes are a deep violet. Despite being short her head is in the clouds her presence is much bigger than herself. Almost everything is some kind of maxim whenever she talks like "You know... If you are inside and you look out the window you see outside... But if you are outside and you look out the window, you can't because you are outside... You have to look in the window to see inside... But if you are inside and you wanna look in the window you can't look in the window you can only look out the window..." And when she gets angry she goes grrr and when she's REALLY angry she goes mmmaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! STOMP STOMP STOMP THROWS SLIPPER and when she's happy she does that thing where she rocks back and forth on her heels and her hands are clasped together and when she's REALLY happy she flops on her bed and kicks her legs and stuff and squeaks like GNHINHGNHHI!!! But even though she is a very emotional person she's a good planner. her cunning is more about people than number smarts. She's good at seeing through you and if needed playing the "helpless and innocent" character and like there's nothing more to her than a woman with a doll shop. She's bad with numbers, doing anything math related is a chore and she's totally stranded without a calculator.
