About Nena: Nena is the picture of innocence. She’s sweet and loving and very girly. While she is 16 she acts more like a young girl. Even though she’s seen a lot of bad things in her short years she doesn’t understand evil and the bad things in the world. Nena smiles at everything but never speaks a word. When people are around her they get the overwhelming feeling to protect her. Bhindi particularly feels this. She never lets Nena out of her site and would defend her to the death. Nena loves animals, particularly cute and fuzzy ones and the color pink. She’s never without Bhindi and usually can be found cuddled up next to her, holding her hand.

Background story: Not much is known on Nenas past or where she came from. She just appeared one day at the manor. No one questioned her being there. There is a lot of speculation on why Nena never speaks but only Hyde knows the truth. He bought the girl from The Midnight Society who were injecting her with various illegal chemicals in an attempt to create a person with some kind of super human abilities. They only let Hyde have Nena because they felt there experiments were a failure and since she couldn’t speak and the chemicals wiped her memory they knew she wouldn’t be able to tell the world of what they had done to her.

What most people, even Hyde, don’t know is that Nena can communicate with people if she wishes to and she’s recovering her memory. She is able to speak in a whisper but she only chooses to talk to Bhindi and Bhindi, who feels her reason on earth is to protect her "angel" Nena, would never tell a soul Nena can speak, however little. If The Midnight Society found out Nena could speak and was recovering her memory they would surely kill her.

Tasha's comments: I’ve been a big big fan of Gentaro Arakis work for a while. He’s such an incredibly talented sculptor (though I do find some of his works a bit too perverted for my tastes ). I particularly love the way he sculpts hands and the female body. He’s got such an eye pleasing style. I love my Unoss (Morrigan) so I was so excited when I saw he was making more dolls (the Unoas). I knew the moment I saw them that I would have to get a Lusis and a Sist. I love all my dolls pretty much equally but I admit I ‘play’ with Nena and Bhindi the most. There size is just a lot of fun to handle and they somehow look great no matter how there posed.

Past versions

This is how I painted Nena the day I got her. Its way to harsh and ugly for Nena

I decided with this repaint Nenas colors would be black and pink. Sbe looks a little less scary with this make ups.

__________

I tryed a softer approach to her eyebrows here. She looks a little drugged up but I kinda liked that look.

_______

I wanted to give Nena a cuter look with this repaint. I remember I quite liked her lips.

This is Nenas current look. I plan to repaint her soon though. Overall Im happy with her look but my tecnique has improved a lot since I painted her this way.
