New kid on the block

Let me bring you up to date by telling you the latest news about Franjessica......  You know, the one and only.... Franjessica......  Never heard of her, you say?

Hmm....

....

Well, I cannot blame you for not knowing, because she is not famous, at least not yet. Franjessica is what we star reporters like to call a CTB doll, or in full: a ‘celebrity-to-be’.  And no, I am not pulling your leg.

Wait, wait!! Before you all get in line, claiming to be the next CTB, so you can have yourself interviewed by me, let me warn you that the odds of me spending time on writing a blog about you are microscopic. And those of you who think that microscopic means that it is absolutely worth giving it a try, please make sure that you have a sufficient supply of superglue with you. You’re gonna need it because your arms or legs may very well have fallen off twice due to deterioration before I make time.  Just saying.

Did I mention that Franjessica is a ScoonimDoll, a genuine one, not just the head? And no, this fact is not the reason for me to classify her as a CTB. Though Franjessica is a little bit special, because she is the first genuine ScoonimDoll with silicone skin instead of PU, which by the way is something I dééply regret helping Koen to develop. Because of that stupid silicone it took us one and a half year to create Franjessica. ONE AND A HALF YEAR!!

But is this the reason why I classify Franjessica as CTB? HELL NO!! Sure she looks good, but hey, she is a ScoonimDoll, so of course she does. She is a CTB because of her personality, which is very much un-ScoonimDoll-like.

‘Shaping the personality of new ScoonimDolls... wasn’t that your job, Stellai?’, you say. And right you are!

Amongst several other tasks that I have, it  is my job to add personality and character to ScoonimDolls by training and educating them. And I dare say, I’m damn good at it.  My secret trick to making a good character is to deliberately add some flaws to their personality ... to add one or more so-called "unwanted aspects" that add colour to their personality. Like for instance a tendency to nag, or to prank, or being a bad loser, etcetera. It makes them the cheerful and adorable bunch of nitwits everybody loves. Franjessica however is different. She is absolutely flawless. No 'bad qualities', no 'unwanted traits'. She's just perfect. Let me assure you, it was not my decision to make her this way. This was requested by the doll who commissioned her creation.

It will take me at least twice the time I normally need to complete her T&E ( short for ‘ Training and Education’)  because of this and I had to make several adjustments to my training program to get her into this personality.  But hey, you know me, I like a challenge!

Wanna get an idea of ​​the character description I received to make sure it would become Franjessica's perfect personality, then  read my notes from the briefing below:

Franjessica

Special requests for her personality:

• Franjessica is easy going, easy to get along with,  calm, cool, relaxed and she must speak in a relaxed manner (personal note: No problemo. This is pretty much similar to Basic Personality chapters 4.1 , 4.5 and 4.7d).
• Franjessica is kind hearted. She must have true love for everyone even if they have different options

(p.n.:  chapter 5 of manual Saint Specs will do the trick). These things means nothing to her (p.n.: add ignorance –specs 2a,b,d). She is expected not make posing that suggest she tries  hard to accomplish this. This must be a primary part in her personality!! (p.n.: Wow, this guy is really pushing it!! I do hope he is willing to pay extra for this kind of training!)

• Franjessica will strengthen and give confidence and hope to every doll that has been harmed. (p.n.: I think I better have her learn the entire manual Saint Specs by heart, not just chapter 5)
• Franjessica is not to criticize anyone (p.n.: focus in training on tractability specs 1-3c). In fact she is expected to greatly proper motivate one  or the ones who needs motivation (p.n.:   for training see: Jogging Instructions pages 12-23).
• Franjessica will instantly speak up or help when someone or something is doing someone harm. (p.n. add: basic Lawyer Skills and  vocal enhancement, first aid training and combat training level 1 and 2).
• Franjessica will take anyone in. When any doll has lost a job and is therefore  homeless, Franjessica would not criticize, but will take them in. ( p.n.:  I will likely have to write a special module for altruism for this request. I hope this commissioner has a HUGE house!!)

(Images of the designs for the outfit)

• Franjessica is quiet and will never say anything to degrade anyone but instead strengthen them and give confidence and hope.  Now she would speak her mind quickly in hot situations when something is needed to be told, something very important. She can't hold back her words because the situation may cause a person's life.  In a lesser situation, Franjessica would wait at a reasonable time to talk to someone, because she fears that her words may not come out correctly causing an argument and confusion. Or she may pull them to the side ( a convenient place) away from a crowd and talk, to avoid causing them confusion or embarrassment. By doing this she is convincing them that she is no greater than they are. Franjessica would be the doll that many would come too pouring out there feelings because they know that she is a good listener and will give careful advice without criticizing them. (p.n.: WTF! This is a gunpowder barrel! Conflicts can be expected with other parts of her  personality because of this. Extra training sessions will be needed. I will need to schedule at least 4 days extra to have her master this skill without slipping into a personality crash.)  
• Franjessica  acknowledges her mistakes and will confess them. If she has wronged someone she will feel deep regret and apologize to them openly. (p.n.: Really?? Poor sod!!  I am gonna need the Training Modules for Slave Behaviour Posing for this. Good thing that I hadn't thrown them away yet!)
• Franjessica is quite the opposite of self righteous. ( Wow!! This is going to take a lot of time to delete from her system, because a tendency to be a bit stuck up was present in her even before I started her training. I fear that removing this may result in a very flat character. I need to discuss this with Koen to see if this is really necessary!!)
• Franjessica is expected to display natural intelligence and to be knowledgeable (not the type of intelligence knowing everything in the world) (p.n.: I am gonna pass this one on to Dibby, I like to see her practice the training of this skill on Franjessica. Dibs is a natural in displaying intelligence and knowledgeability without having a clue of what she is saying!)

As for the photos, they are a selection from the file ‘Franjessica - Work in progress’. Normally I would not have even considered adding  photos like these, but her presentation photoshoot has not been made yet. This because the training program of Franjessica is not yet completed (Hey, what do you expect with this kind of wish list for personality!) She recently has succeeded her exams for the specials, but she still needs to do some of the exams in performing basic skills like Face posing, Seductive posing and Breast posing. And as you all know, these skills you really want to have mastered before the presentation photoshoot, not after it!! I hope to show you her glamour series in my next blog.
