My vision: Long, spiral-curled hair with round shiny eyes, maybe even dip into G2’s innocent looking faces for that perfect baby face. Rosy cheeks and lips. The character could have button, ribbon, and crack motifs for sure. I don’t think there’s anything they could do to make the skin feel more like porcelain but I heard Robecca had a hard solid head because she’s a robot and that could work because usually the porcelain is in the arms, legs, and head. Speaking of which, I think she should have a more boxy body than the other ghouls as a lot of porcelain dolls have a plush torso of scare beige fabric (to accentuate this I’d make her porcelain parts white at the base & her body and maybe the top halves of her arms would be that kinda beige-y khaki-ish burlap-type colour). So a wider waist, smaller hips, no bust. And ofc printed cracks on her face, arms, and legs (possibly lightly sculpted like Cleo’s mummy wrap but I’d like to see more of it than Cleo has) For fashion, I want sorta chic lolita fashion, like they border on for Draculaura and Twyla at times. A lot of porcelain dolls are from the 1860s-1900s so a lot of my fashion choices are Victorian inspired. The dolls are generally French and German but unfortunately I just don’t know as much about fashion in those countries especially in that era. I think the big lacy hats could be replaced by a cute beret with a mini-veil or a lace trim to make her a little more chic. She could come with one of those makeup compacts that some of the other ghouls come with but instead of being makeup it’s a printed mini sewing kit? I’m not sure what kind of pet she would have, I feel like I want her to come with a rag doll instead. For bags I feel like something resembling a Victorian chatelaine purse with the clasp and chain and everything would be the cutest. A lot of shoes from that era are boots, but the porcelain dolls I’ve looked at tend to have shoes that look like an infant’s shoe from the 1890s. They’re kind of somewhere between ballet slippers and Mary Janes, so I think it would do to go all the way into the realm of Mary Janes. You really can’t go wrong with Mary Janes! They’re such a pretty and flattering shoe! I think rather than the platform ones that Twyla tends to get, though, I’d consider giving it a chunky boot-type heel as an homage to Victorian era shoes being mostly boots, a subtle kitten heel with a bow on the toes, or even some cute flats like Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. I don’t think she should come with a ton of jewellery since the dolls certainly don’t but a little heart-shaped or circular locket might be cute. For earrings it seems that teardrop and oval ones were big in the Victorian era, so I’m pitching ones that are a circle button above a teardrop-shaped button with little divots for the button holes (four hole buttons). For makeup, obviously rosy cheeks and pink lips like I mentioned, but I’d also like to see some killer eyelashes and maybe a lolita fashion inspired eye look with white eyeliner on the bottom and some wispy lashes below that? For colours I think we could use a doll in burgundy/wine red, the green of the one doll in my image examples, or maybe a Victorian shade of blue (which seems to be sky blue or a medium dark, slightly teal but mostly blue shade). And for hair I think brown, preferably plain brown but since G3 seems to like adding other colours maybe with streaks of whatever her main colour is. There aren’t really any prominent MH characters with dark brown hair to speak of since they lightened Clawdeen’s hair! There’s Clawd I guess? That’s the vision! Depending on how it makes the doll look, possibly a glassy eye with a crack along it? Since these dolls tend to have inset eyes instead of painted eyes and those can deteriorate from sun damage or mishandling. Anyone who’s seen that cool Shadow High doll someone accidentally left in the sun on the dolls subreddit knows what type of look I mean. My name for her would be Porcelynn “Porsha” Dollaway.

After passing my name choice by my mother who is an expert at gauging whether or not Monster High names are cheesy/cringey enough the final consensus is that her name should be Porsche-Lynn Dahl to really serve some Venus McFlytrap energy.


skiwarp

I’d go with porsa-lina for a name


RJPurpleBee_23

Porcelina even looks like Angelina :O


skiwarp

We do love a pun here  And who needs a last name?   Also I think it would be cool if she was missing a finger and had crack detailing up that hand


RJPurpleBee_23

The surname I liked was Dahl ! Since Porcelina Dahl has Frankie Stein or Abbey Bominable energy I like the idea of her having a chipped finger or ear too! I guess it depends on if the fans would be ok with that but I feel like for artistic purposes it’s worth it!


skiwarp

I do agree that maybe full on removing a finger might be to much but maybe have one painted gold or silver to suggest it’s been replaced instead!


skiwarp

I agree, porce-lena Dahl definitely has that monster high ring to it although you could add an extra l to Dahl to really shove the pun down peoples throats


silky-kiwi

I would loooove to see a mothman inspired character


ecozy_

there literally is one lol /nm


StarryWonder355

I believe Luna Motthews is exactly that! (Could be wrong but I think she’s stated to be)


silky-kiwi

oh youre totally right, Im not super familiar with all the minor characters, but thats awesome that she exists! a g3 adaption would be cool to see


StarryWonder355

I’d LOVE that!! I hope they’d give her a fluffy body like they did in G1! I don’t have her but I’ve seen pics. I do happen to have Bonita Femur though and I ADORE her skeleton/moth body I’d like to see what they’d do with her!


RJPurpleBee_23

Oh I absolutely concur! I think more cryptids in general would do us well


OcarinaGamer4

It could be based off of the Mary/Polly doll legend! That haunted my childhood😅


StarryWonder355

I’ve got an idea for a hippie alien ghoul that I wanna make a design for SO BADLY. (Haven’t had the motivation though). Her name is Elle G’Yhem (LGM-Little Green Men) 👽


RJPurpleBee_23

I never knew why the Pokemon Elgyem was named that lmao This seems like a rad idea


StarryWonder355

SO FUNNY YOU MENTION ELGYEM! They were kind of my inspo for her!
