In my head, I imagine today’s paper doll as a companion to my Marauder princess paper doll from… wow, last year. That doesn’t seem so long ago. Time flies when you’re drawing paper dolls, I suppose.
Today’s paper doll was inspired by the Arabic folklore creatures called Jinn (or Genies). According to some sources, Jinn are made up of smokeless fire and scorching heat and they are sentient, like humans and angels. Jinn appear in many fairytales and folktales from the Middle East including the most famous to my readers, I suspect, which is the genie in Aladdin. Though there are some stories of Jinn granting wishes, this doesn’t seem to be something they do outside of fairytales.
I decided to give my paper doll a separate tail piece which is meant to be glued to her back once she’s been cut out. I thought it would be easier for the variety of clothing options which you might want to dress her up in. Her clothing has nothing terribly Middle Eastern about it, but that’s neither here nor there. As often happens, the resulting doll has wandered far from the source material.

One of the things I really do like about today’s paper doll is the number of outfit options. With seven tops and four bottoms and two pairs of shoes, she’s got over 56 different outfit options and that’s nothing to sneeze at.

She looks awesome to colour! Since she has a lot of details.. she’s cute!
wait a sec… does she have horns?
Yep.
I particularly like her hair.
This set is very creative and interesting! I really love the variety you present in your dolls 🙂
I like the outfits on this paper doll.
Do you think you could make a Steampunk Marisole?
There are actually quite a few steampunk Marisole’s on the site- to many to easily list them all here. I’d recommend a search in the search bar on the left side.
ooooo ~ so love the little fair details on the tops ~ absolutely gorgeous!
I colored this doll’s clothes in gold (two shades) purple and red, and her eyes purple
