Signature (Basic) Line - Late November 2013

The very first Cerise doll was of course the Signature Line doll which features each Ever After High student in their regular clothes.

I was drawn to Cerise straight away probably because I knew who's daughter she was supposed to be and, well, now I can look at any other character and think 'oh, she's the daughter of the Evil Queen' etc. but before they weren't so obvious.

Appearance:

So, probably the most striking thing about Cerise's appearance is that while her hair is otherwise dark brown, her fringe is partially white! Some dolls are also pictured with a long, white streak of hair to the side of her fringe, but my doll doesn't have it.

Cerise's hair comes down by her bum and unlike her straight-cut fringe, the rest of her hair is layered and looks really scraggly and choppy - Part of being part wolf I guess :)

As you can see from the picture above, Cerise's hood has to have a hole in the back of it so her long hair can fit through! I'm actually glad I don't remove my dolls from the box as this would have ruined it for me :/ But to be honest, there's not much of an alternative to it...

 

Apart from maybe cut her hair into a cute bob like one fan has done! I think she looks SO CUTE like this but I would never trust myself to do it!

Cerise has grey eyes and also wears silver / grey eye shadow. If her lips aren't natural it's a lovely mild pink lipstick. She has silver shines on her lips that suggest a clear gloss or a chap stick rather than a lipstick.

Cerise's skin is a dark peach / very light tan colour and doesn't really photograph well for those of us who don't have a good camera - When a bad camera is used she looks like one of those teenage girls who don't know how to apply foundation properly...

As I said in my previous post, Cerise's nose is different to the other cast members' noses as they have tried to make it more wolf-like.

Cerise's eyebrows are gorgeous, I love the untidy bit on the thick edge and how they have a lovely natural shape. In this photo you can actually see the eye makeup properly and you can see that Cerise only applied mascara to the top lashes as her bottom lashes are a lovely light brown :)

I am disappointed with Cerise's ears. The way she wears her hood and all the drama around it suggest that she should have more wolf-like ears :( These look more like pixie or elf ears to me. It would have been wicked cute if she had actual wolf ears like the Monster High wolf characters :)

Unfortunately she has those ugly half-holes in her ears too... It's like they decided to not give her earrings at the last minute. In my opinion this is the biggest reason she should be hiding her ears :/ Shameful, Mattel.

Cerise wears a dark red and black gingham top with black lace medium length sleeves. She also wears a black lace skirt over dark/light grey patterned jeans (which I LOVE because it is SO un-fairy tale!) Her jeans are tucked into her brown, calf-length boots which have brown laces, buckles and wedged heels. Her outfit is pulled together by a thick belt around her waist that has three silver buckles and a lovely series of chains dangling from it. One of the chains has a heart shaped locket on it :)

Cerise's cape has a plain red hood while the rest is patterned with a windy woodland pattern. Her cape is a little longer than her hair and is fastened securely around her neck with a nice chained clasp.

Accessories:

All the Ever After High girls seems to have a special ring - Cerise's ring is a red rose. The only other jewellery item she wears is a black bracelet. Cerise also comes with a picnic basket as her purse of choice, a black key-shaped hairbrush, her story and a black doll stand.

I like:
Her hair
Her makeup
Her face
Her clothes (especially the cape and the jeans!)
Her boots
Her purse

I dislike:
The hole in her hood
How disappointing her 'wolf' ears are
