Apart from ice, fire is another element close to my heart. Not because of having hot temperament or fierce personality but because of childish reasons. When I was a kid, there were lots of anime cartoons under the fantasy genre, and my favorite among them was Magicknight Rayearth.
Okay, it's still one of my favorites until now. After all, my favorite character there was Hikaru Shidou, and her element was fire. She's not really similar to who I am in person, but she's the one I wish my life was; strong-willed, brave, and can befriend almost anyone. And due to my otaku side, I decided to make her my model for my next Elf Mage doll.
Presenting Embertongue, the elf mage of fire. She came from the and of Eternal Crimson Flames.
Yep. Obviously I copied Hikaru Shidou's hairstyle. I just added one more pigtail instead of only one. But I really liked her concave bob hairstyle though. Despite all the difficulties of cutting her hair to perfection: it has to be the right length and the right amount of her highlights without losing her fierceness.
Her gown has puff sleeves and has an overlay skirt. Aside from her overlay skirt, details of gold and colors of fire show that she's not someone you can mess up with. She's literally hot-tempered and can be quite uncontrollable. She lives by the saying 'you can never tame fire' and yes, she can be very difficult to tame. But she tries her best to stay as calm as she can be, because her grandmother used to tell her when she was a kid that if she would ever lose her temper and go all out mad, she would end up burning her eyebrows and nostrils instead. She can be impatient, and would often consider herself as the leader of the group.
Contrary to her personality, she loved listening to stories at night, when the world is dark. Tales with happy endings, tragedy, adventure, horror, or even gossip would make her sit still and focused. Just like how kids would when they gather around a bonfire and share scary stories when they go camping, or even when a couple would share their life stories on a candle-light dinner date, or even when a family forgot to pay their electrical bills and would light a candle, she would join listening to each family member's story of how their day went.
But when she is with her elf mage friends, she would often ask the others who aren't busy to read her a chapter from a book. She can hold a book, even carry them everywhere if she can. But she was always afraid of ever opening them. Not that she can't read, but she's afraid her fire would consume the pages, and if it does, she would be devastated she would blow up and explode.

I gave her a 360-degree turn. Why not? Don't you just love her style and attitude? Not to mention those adorable elf ears.
