Aina

Presented to S. Jackson under the name "Fluff" in Christmas of 1970 or 1971, Aina became the Doll Games’ first and finest heroine. A cheeky tomboy with cropped hair and a wide smile, Aina led the games through most of their finest years together with Laurie, her sidekick and romantic partner, playing such roles as runaway princess, orphan girl and pirate apprentice with pluck and panache. Aina acquired a second head some years after the first, and alternated between the two thereafter. She was supplanted by Mara and Melanie in the later Doll Games; this is generally considered to mark the beginning of the decadent era, and the Doll Games’ eventual decline.
