American Girl Central

The American Girl of the Year dolls 2008-2012! Mia, Chrissa, Lanie, Kanani, and McKenna. These are some of my least fav dolls in the entire line. Not much diversity or “oops almost all white girls” and a pretty obvious drop in design and personality. Boring outfits, awful shoes. That being said while I really don’t like the GotY dolls much I know a lot of people love these dolls and I hope I did them justice. My gripes are my own but they’re why I didn’t draw these dolls for such a long time despite requests to do so. So I hope whoever loves them likes my depiction of them!

long haired queens!!!

I often see the AG community ask about who has the longest hair, Kaya or Kanani, honestly? I think Kanani has the longest hair, but I think it’s just by a centimeter. This is me comparing it with Kanani’s hair was intended (down) and Kaya’s (braided), I refuse to ever take my Kaya out of her braids or meet outfit so I guess while she has her braids up, it looks like Kanani’s is longer! 

full name: kanani “nani” makoto akina

hobbies: swimming, baking and cooking, playing with animals,

dream: to run her family’s shop

family: mr. akina, mrs akina, tutu lani

personality: friendly, mischievous, smart, lively

ethnicity: mixed (european-pacific islander)

here’s a little doodle of kanani and ivy that I drew (due to the fact that I’ve been staring at ebay auctions of them for the past fifty billion years rip!!) ✨💛

Kanani tends to give me little Princess vibes in Rebecca’s Hanukkah outfit. Especially with the little bow in the back holding her braids💙.

Thank you guys so much for all your kind words about my pics. I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe ♥️

Here’s my IG for more photos :) would love to meet and get to know each any every one of you!

my mom got me julie’s birthday outfit and i think it looks lovely on kanani! she’s posing with some flowers to match the dress’s pattern 🌼

i think it’s actually illegal that my blog is literally called Akina’s Shave Ice but i don’t have Kanani’s Shave Ice Stand

GUESS WHAT I GOT BITCHES

Congrats!!!!

Here’s Kanani's playlist

i had a dream that there was an animated show announced for kanani 🥺

does “journey to the past” have anything at all to do with kanani’s story? no. do i have an insane urge to put it on her playlist anyway?   m a y b e 

wait. compromise
