The ancient Egyptians didn't remove the heart as part of the mummification process, as they believed the heart was needed to gain access to the afterlife. My headcanon is that's why Cleo became undead. Her heart was removed, therefore it could not be judged against the feather of Maat, preventing her from entering the afterlife. Egyptian death mythology also involves the ba, somewhat equivalent to a soul. The ba is said to travel between the mummified body and the afterlife, returning to its body each night to maintain the connection. Therefore Cleo's ba is trapped in her body, rendering her undead.

I honestly thought my Dayna Jones had chew marks on her but it turns out they were really tiny sculpted stars all over her body. When G2 rolled around, I've noticed that all the sculpted details got significantly softer and details were a lot less crisp. It's why I stopped buying Barbie dolls in general since the quality dip didn't make it worth buying anymore to me.

I tried doing a paint wash to bring out the details but it was such bad casting, I ended up taking several hours hand detailing the constellations and going over that with silver paint.

It's a neat concept but definitely needed a bit of detailing.

I genuinely don't understand what Dayna Jones was even trying to be. She had several concepts interwoven like her being treasure themed, pirate themed and map themed, and her outfit change gimmick was trying to be something, but she genuinely stumps me in what her original vision would be as a doll. I feel like even with other Monster High dolls, I can tease out what inspirations and concepts they were trying to be but Dayna feels like she was redesigned and budget cut so many times I had no idea how to feel about her.

Since my one was missing almost everything I opted to go in a more nautical direction rather than pirate themed and simplified her concept to be star and treasure themed.

Her skirt was pretty big so I knew I wanted to make a proper dress to cover up her sculpted top. I was able to eek out a sleeved bodice while still maintaining enough fabric for a full skirt so I'm pretty proud.

My housemate had these star earrings and suspenders he got secondhand so I added them to Dayna.

I'm really happy how she turned out considering my very mixed feelings about her.
