I had this doll for a couple of days but didn't get any pictures of her, sorry. Chose her at AG Seattle. She was not even on my radar when I went into the store, but I saw her and was immediately taken. She's very beautiful- the medium skin and brown eyes are gorgeous! Her eyes are her best feature in my opinion and AG should make more dolls with medium skin and her shade of brown eyes.
Her wig was a little confusing, for lack of a better word. Pretty color- dark brown with some red and light brown hairs in for good measure, but dark overall- but the texture was odd. AG says it's textured, but it hardly is! It actually feels more like my own hair than white dolls like McKenna's. So it definitely does not feel textured, but I didn't really like how it felt. Felt kinda icky and cheap to me even though it isn't, and it falls kind of oddly. Almost looked a bit greasy? In my opinion, she would have been better off with either completely smooth hair, or truly textured hair like Addy's. Black hair would have been lovely on her as well. Texture aside, the wig is nicely thick and has the short hairs in back. It does have a tendency to fall over her face and get stuck in her eyelashes on her right side so I suggest pulling her hair back on that side, but she looks quite cute with her hair pulled back!
In the end, I had to return my doll because the length of her wig was seriously uneven. It was more than an inch longer one one side and looked awful. Confirmed with other forum members that the wig was not supposed to be this way. I decided to exchange her for a #49 who I am quite happy with, but this doll really deserves more love! I promise she is even more beautiful in person and the wig texture probably won't bother most people. Definitely could have lived with it and probably would have gotten used to it if I'd had her longer.
My grade: B+, the texture and look of the wig is what knocked down my grade.
