Cerise Hood / Cerise WOLF.

So we all know by now that because of her parents, Cerise is some sort of human/wolf hybrid. Whether she is a werewolf or not, we are currently unsure.

Most Cerise fans were disappointed when they learned that their Cerise dolls did not have those adorable ears pictured above...

They weren't as cute or wolf-like as we'd expected :(

Also, there were many people stating "How will Cerise carry out both her mother's AND her father's legacy?". Well this is my theory. So please keep an open mind about this one ;)

The above is a screenshot from the Ever After High Wikia (Trademarks section) which shows the name 'Cerise Wolf' in the 'Future Trademarks' section. This shows that the Cerise Wolf trademark was approved on the fifth of August 2013 (the N/A shows that is was not rejected).

But who is Cerise Wolf? Surely not the Cerise Hood we all know and love?

As we have seen in the webisodes, Cerise's wolf-like tendencies can come on suddenly and as mentioned before there have been rumours floating around that she is in fact a werewolf.

In other stories, werewolves change form when they are exposed to a full moon and I'm proposing that this is where 'Cerise Wolf' comes in.

I am suggesting that there will be a line of dolls under the name of Cerise Wolf which will be a more wolf-like take on the Cerise doll HOPEFULLY with those adorable ears, a tail and maybe a snout or a more wolf-like face! PLEASE REMEMBER that this is just a THEORY.

And I think this will also be how she will fulfil both destinies :)

And now I've gotten myself all excited about possible dolls :P So fingers crossed this is true! I would LOVE more Cerise dolls :)

Rumour or Reveal? - 'Hat-Tastic Party' Line.

So a couple of photos are floating around at the minute - Look at those dresses! Apparently these are from the upcoming Hat-Tastic Party line, and who's dress is that one the right? Our lovely Cerise!

According to the EverAfterHighDolls Facebook page:
"It is rumoured that this collection will include Madeline Hatter™, Apple White™, Briar Beauty™, Cedar Wood™ and Cerise Hood™... how hexciting!"

According to the Ever After High Wikia, this really is an upcoming line, but because there is little out there at the minute regarding this line, it begs me to question - Are these dresses rumour or reveal?

If it's a reveal I am so excited about this line and I cannot wait for it :) More rumours lead us to believe that this may be Ever After High's first economy line!

And if it IS a rumour... Well at least we have Legacy Day to look forward to!

Possible Upcoming Doll? - Thronecoming.

The newest line of Ever After High dolls has been announced to be the THRONECOMING line, which is soooo fabulous! But once again, Cerise is left in the back seat while the focus is on Apple and Raven. There are hopes that in future lines Cerise will be in the first wave though, as Blondie and Cupid are also coming to the first wave of Thronecoming dolls!

Just look at those gorgeous dresses. I can't be the only fan that wants to see Cerise in one of these, right?! I mean I know huge dresses aren't usually her style but she's gotta let her hair down at least once...

I guess for now we'll just have to look forward to our Legacy Day Cerises and keep our fingers crossed!

Possible Upcoming Doll? - Getting Fairest.

Cerise looked so cute when she was getting fairest for the True Hearts Day dance, it would be an abomination if Mattel didn't make a doll!

Cerise wears her hair in a cute plait. Of course, she wears a hooded dressing gown, which is more like a comfortable hooded zippy, in gingham. Under this it looks like she's wearing a red kimono style top with a silver stripe that goes diagonally across it... Does this have some very fine detailing on it?

I've said it in my Venus McFlytrap blog and I'll say it again - PJ dolls are the CUTEST. I really hope this will be one Cerise we can add to our collections :)

Future Cerise - Legacy Day

We all saw Cerise's outfit of choice in the Legacy Day episode (and, yes, I have caught up with the web episodes now :P) and so fans were eagerly awaiting a Legacy Day Cerise Hood.

Well, thanks to Ever After High One Stop Shop, we now have a picture confirming the future release of this very doll!

Mattel have decided to go with a brown hood rather than a white one for some reason but I think it looks pretty either way. Cerise wears a longer cape than her original but with the same design on it and appears to be wearing a dress and tights. She has also scooped her fringe to the side but I liked it better as a full fringe. She also seems to be wearing more jewellery, but who can blame her? It's a very special day for her :) It also looks like she's wearing red lipstick!


According to the Ever After High Wikia the second wave of the Legacy Day line could be released this September but that is just an estimation. Personally I hope it's much sooner!

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

I'm Ash and I'm a Cerise Hood collector.

Once upon a time there was a girl named Ash and she loved Monster High dolls, Venus McFlytrap in particular. But while she loved Monster High a new series of dolls were released - Ever After High.
At first, though they were beautiful, none of these dolls particularly grabbed Ash's attention...

But then came Cerise. And so the story unfolds...

When I was small(er) I LOVED the story of Little Red Riding Hood, it was my all-time favourite fairy tale. I can remember even dressing up as Little Red in nursery for a fancy dress party! My mum made loads of realistic looking salt dough treats for me to fill my basket with, it was amazing until I got home and my dumbass friends thought they were real and tried to eat them.

I literally bought my first Cerise doll today. It took me this long because I was unsure how Ever After High was gonna do after Monster High and I wanted to make sure I could actually COLLECT Cerise dolls rather than just have the one doll of her.

So I dunno much about Ever After High, I've not watched the web episodes or anything (yet) so feel free to correct me on anything that might be wrong. The one thing I do know is that Cerise is the daughter of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, which I thought was pretty damn cool.

Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of drama about it online because 'she is a product of bestiality'.
Erm ok... So let's explore this.
1 - Yes, bestiality is illegal in most places and I am against it. BUT...
2 - This is a STORY. It is MADE UP. 
3 - Bestiality is wrong because the animal in question cannot legally give consent (I have a degree in Sexual Health and I love to flaunt it!) I'm guessing that because the Big Bad Wolf had the brains to come up with a cunning plan to eat Little Red and could TALK, he happily gave his consent to have sex with her rather than eat her.
4 - I'm not going to go any deeper into it than that because this is a blog about Cerise, not about animal rights and I will carry on forever if I don't stop myself.

Anyway I'm guessing he's some werewolf or something judging by this family photo... I'll have to watch it.

ANYWAY.

She's a total babe as it is but oh my gosh look at those cute little ears!! Her father's identity is her biggest secret and as she has his (cuuuuute little) ears it is even more of a reason for her to keep her hood up!

She has also been given a more snout-like nose which is more noticeable in the doll version of her and is lovely in comparison to the over-used button noses many, many other dolls seem to have. Another really cute feature I saw today was her tiny, tiny, pointy fingernails! They are adorable and also add to her wolf-like charm! I'm sure some of the Monster High characters have similar hand but I wouldn't properly know as I'm only used to Venus... I'm sure Clawdeen must have!

Cerise is one of the taller dolls in the series which is weird for me because I'm usually drawn to smaller, cuter things, but what can I say? I think she's awesome.

I honestly can't wait to see where Ever After High goes next. I know there is a new Cerise doll (Legacy Day!) coming out (hopefully) soon and I will make a post on it ASAP but I'm really looking forward to what else they're gonna do with these fairy tale characters. I'm really hoping they do a 'Getting Fairest' version of Cerise just because I think PJ dollies are so cute!

So, yay, Cerise :) I'm so happy about this doll and I just can't wait to buy more of her :D
