Coppola Fantoche

"I like people for all of their changing surprises, the thoughts in their heads, the warmth that changes to cold and the cold that changes to warmth... for being human. The rawness of being human delights me."

- C. Joybell C.

Coppola Fantoche [they/themis a 2015-introduced character and all around enigma. They are destined to be the next Coppélia from the ballet of the same name, and are currently attending their Third Year (otherwise known as Yearbook Year) at Ever After High.

Personality

 * blunt as all hell
 * almost uncomfortably inquiring
 * interested in the workings of the world
 * dissatisfied with the idea of staying in a small area forever, but acknowledges that they were built for a purpose, and so should serve that purpose.
 * tbc

Appearance
Coppola's appearance is never really constant because of the nature of their existence. As some sort of spirit poltergeist thing, they possess an inanimate vessel made in the image of a puppet. They're not exactly gentle with these vessels, and if one breaks anywhere, repairs are needed. To combat Copp's soul spirit thing wandering around, they have several vessels on hand. Most of them are inventions by the generations of Coppelius's and not that practical, but whatever.

Heavy Metal Vessel
Contrary to its name, this vessel composes mostly of bone china
 * the main one and the one that has all the art p much
 * nothing to do with the metal genre I just needed a name

Ribbonfacecoppsketch.jpegnface Vessel

 * exactly what it sounds like
 * cloth face/mask thing. No features except for "eyes", which are holes cut into the cloth.
 * A wig thing sit on top of the head. It's short and colored honey-pink.
 * The "eyes" have ribbons attached to them. The ribbons are black on one side, white on the other. They run on top of the wig to the back of the head, where they tie in a large bow.
 * The "eyes" can "blink"! The ribbon is actually stitched around the eyes' holes, and the bow can automatically pull and release. Tightening the ribbon will close the holes because of the stitches, and slacking them allows the eyes to be open again.
 * The rest of the body is an articulated porcelain doll body. (edit: legs are painted clay and are hollow + "walls" of the leg are hollow as to trap heat. Thus, you can treat it as a thermos and fill it with soup.)
 * Creepy tall, like 7 feet.

Glassheart Vessel

 * transparent glass body, glowing neon machinery inside.
 * never going to draw this because it'll be a nightmare lmao.

everything below this sentence will be changed. probably Cop is a mismatch of many metals and other materials. The most common are porcelain, bronze, and plastic. They stands at a petite height, 5'1. Because of their small build, it takes some time to realize they're pretty strong. Their body type is pear-shaped. No genitalia at all is present.

They has pale skin, with tinted pink cheeks. And when people describe their with porcelain skin, without a blemish, they don't realize they're absolutely right. Of course they isn't completely made of porcelain. Their left thigh is bronze and their hands and feet are plastic. They is ball jointed, but since their limbs are solid, her movements are stiff. What's amazing is that since they is a life-sized doll, their fingers are ball-jointed in all needed areas. So are their feet. This allows plenty more articulation for them, although it's still not the same as a human's.

When the key on her back needs to be wound up, they is unable to move. They're still fully conscious of course, but they will be in a state similar to how a human is when they are paralyzed. The winding of the key allows their to fuel theirself on biofuel.

Coppola has mostly bronze hair, and literally bronze. It is seen in voluminous curls that never go flat, due to being welded and tempered into curls and waves. They also have some [http://data:image/jpeg;base64,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 copper] -colored or golden -colored curls, which people say is made out of solid gold. People have, once or twice cut their finger accidentally brushing them on their hair. They has pondered cutting out her hair(with a giant, volcano-temperature pizza cutter) and re-rooting it with synthetic fibers. It would be more practical than metal hair. However, it migh be too difficult to do so, along with the fibers being too messy, so they remains with aesthetically pleasing hair.

One of their eyes is bronze. The iris is shaped like a gear. Their other eye has the same gear shape, but it is silver, instead of bronze. Their eyelashes are sharp and  also rather long. Whenever Coppola is thinking, the gears turn and make a sort of grinding and ticking noise. Cop is unable to blink though, and this is pretty creepy especially when their gear irises are turning.

Cop "speaks" with a "voice" that does not sound robotic, but metallic anyhow. The sounds that they makes have to echo through the metal wires streched into a funnel in their "esophagus", in order to project correctly. It just makes their sound somewhat melancholy. It's kinda creepy to some people but only because they're not used to their voice.

It's actually a miracle that they can speak anyway. Cop's voice is created by the combination of the humming sound springs make when they are pulled and released and the ping sound of metal tapping against metal. Actually, it sorta sounds like how a piano sounds. These two sounds are complemented by the creak of unoiled hinges. Only when Cop has been recently oiled will she not creak.

All of these sounds are manipulated by the Blue Fairy's magic to sound like they're actually saying something. However, they has a tendency to pause a lot while speaking,  reiterate words a lot, along with occasional stutters due to malfunctions. This results into a very interesting finished product of words.

Oufits
So imagine a cold, imposing, ballerina with the heart of stone and hair of bronze. Throw in tons of painstakingly hand-crocheted lace, clocks and gears, epaulettes, top hats, and fishnets. Add silk to the mixture, avant garde haute couture, and vintage, weathered metal. Congratulations. You have reached aesthetic nirvana, but more importantly, the basic ingredients for Coppola's style.

Dressed in a whirlpool of creams, chocolates, and charcoals, millions of different shades of metal, silk and satin harshly contrasted with glittering gold and varnished bronze. Each garment is adorned with gears, dripping with chains and pocket watches and spun from gold and bronze. ya so basically impractical af

My sweet little cinnamon bun's style would be described as steampunk, with a hint of ballet stuff in there too. Lots of dramatic hats, plenty of tutu-esque dresses, lace and frills, gears and chains, and so many Victorian aspects.

Staples of their outfits are goggles in various metals, top hats, bowlers, or fascinators, black, gold, and bronze tulle, ballet slippers, clocks and gears, corsets, lace on everything and any hand-held accessory, like a parasol or mallet. {| class="article-table" !

Coppola's Outfits

 * IMAG0233.jpg
 * IMAG0233.jpg

Basic
Their bodice is a peasant blouse with a ruffled choker and a  metallic corset. Their skirt is like this dress's skirt, but it is made of black, bronze and gold tulle. It reaches to a little above their knee. They wears mismatched tights. One leg has these tights (except in black and gold) with slashed patches of these pinstripe pants. The other leg is black fishnets. For their shoes, they wears copper ballet shoe-like heels with copper and bronze gears making up the heel, and copper ribbons tying around their ankles.

They wears a black steampunk top hat. Shiny ribbons of copper and springs made of bronze and copper burst from their belt onto their skirt. Their left shoulder also has a steampunk epaulette, and random gold and bronze gears are placed on that arm. A brooch is fastened to the choker on her neck. On their right hand rests a ruffled cuff bracelet with a watch, except the charms are ballet shoe charms Just under the knee of their leg with the black fishnet, is a steampunk leg thing. They carries a big, Harley Quinn-esque mallet that is black with a bronze handle, and gold trim with bronze studding.

They has a neutral expression, with cherry red lips, a slightly pink blush on their pale skin, and smoky silver eyeshadow. They has long corkscrew curls that are shiny gold, bronze and copper. Slightly messier than the reference pic, however.

Date Night
They is wearing this, but the lace peplum is black and gold instead of brown. One fingerless glove is longer and made of black and gold lace and the other remains the same. They wears ballet shoes laced all the way up to their knee. One is bronze and the other is copper.

They carries a mallet except the barrel is black, the handle is bronze and there is gold trim with bronze studding on the circle sides of the barrel. They is in thisposition.

Their hair is this, and remember, they has bronze, copper, and gold hair. She wears this pinned to the side of their head.

Random Thing For Later
Cop wears something like the , except the coloring is black with shimmery gold and bronze rather than black and red. Vintage copper chains are asymmetrically draped all over the dress, pinned by small brooches shaped like gears. They wears a lacy steampunk cuff bracelet on their left hand. An epaulet sits on their right shoulder, except there are also random little bronze springs attached to it. Their shoes are black silk pointe slippers, with the silk ribbons lacing up to just below their knee. Small strands of shimmery gold and bronze are woven into the ribbons. Matching copper chains are draped on their legs.

A metal choker like this hair accessory sits on their collarbone. They wears a large yet elegant feathered fascinator pinned to the side of their head, except the peacock feathers have gold in place of the blue parts.

Their hair is pretty much this except in gold, bronze and copper. Their skin is pale as ever but their lips are painted a dramatic gold this time, with a slight pink applied to their cheeks. Their eyeshadow is a matching dramatic gold, reaching up to her eyebrows in a fading manner.

Trivia

 * So the name Coppola has two meanings, both are Italian, one is "a theatrical woman", adhering to the fact that their story is a ballet. The other is a type of hat. That's why they wear a hat like all the time.
 * Fantoche is the French translation for "puppet", for obvious reasons.
 * Italian for the actress who played Swanhilda, French for the origin of the play, and Polish for the setting of the play.
 * Copp, for the Copp élia  legacy, was chosen to be a mechanical doll rather than a real person, as the first show used a real mechanical doll to play Coppélia.
 * Their voice would sound high and fluty, maybe even breathy, but with the undertone of a vocal fry. Somewhat intellectual and very monotone at all times. If this makes sense at all, their voice is the creak of unoiled hinges, the sharp taps of metal on metal, the warm hum of machinery, the buzz of bouncing springs, and the metallic echo as sound plays through random speakers adjusted on their.
