Lifelike Features and Detailed Outlet
Each Liv Doll comes with their own story and personality. Sophie is a gifted hairdresser, and one day hopes to be a stylist for the stars. Among her friends, she's regarded as a kind and understanding person, and above all, a good listener. She's not afraid to experiment with new hairstyles (hence her wild, pink-streaked wig).

Sophie comes dressed in a chic, urban outfit that suits her profession as a hairstylist. She's wearing a denim jacket, which complements her graphic tee and pink plaid skirt. Her outfit includes impressive details: from the seams of her shirt to her belt buckle, it is evident that a lot of effort was put into her design.

Sophie's features are just as detailed. Her blonde hair is silken and soft, ideal for combing and styling. Her expressive blue eyes are striking, and have been inserted rather than painted for added realism. Sophie also has 14 points of articulation, which allows for dozens of lifelike poses. She can stand upright when balanced correctly. All of her clothes are removable, so your child can play dress up with her using other Liv outfits (purchased separately).

Accessories and an Exclusive web site
A diehard fashionista, Sophie decorates herself with numerous accessories. She has removable silver earrings, and a stylish blue purse that matches her top. She also comes with a glittery scarf, a pink hairbrush and a fashionable pair of thick-rimmed glasses. These accessories are typically easy to detach, although smaller kids might need help removing her wig and earrings.

Each Liv Doll also comes with a web code, so you can access the exclusive LivWorld web site. The site contains fun activities, videos and games made just for LivWorld fans. You can even read your doll's diary to get to know her better. Registration for the site requires parental supervision.
