Madalaine saw a new girl in the neighborhood as she was walking home from school today.

Madalaine: "Excuse me! Hello! I haven't seen you around here before."

Shiori: "La-la-la-la... oh, hi!"

Madalaine: "Hello! My name is Madalaine. What's yours? Are you new here?"

Shiori: "Nice to meet you, Madalaine. My name is Shiori. I just moved here a few days ago."

Shiori: "Oh dear, I have lost a contact. Can you help me please?"

Madalaine: "Certainly. I just hope I don't step on it."

Shiori: "Thanks a lot! Oh, here it is!"

Madalaine: "Get over here, you cutie-pie!"

Shiori: "Oh! My, you're affectionate."

Madalaine: "That's just because you're so adorable, Shiori."

Shiori: "Ha! Ha! You're nice, too. I'm so glad to have met a girl like you. I hope we can become best friends."

This post isn't just an introduction for Shiori. It's also an introduction for Madalaine wearing the To Heart 2 schoolgirl uniform. She looks positively darling in it, don't you think? Anna's wonderful red stockings complete the ensemble.

But to get back on the topic of Shiori, she's a Red Shoes Momoko doll. Her shoes are actually a bit large for her, in my opinion. Her whole outfit is just really cute, though. I have decided not to use her hat. I really like that hairdo of hers.

Shiori is named after a character in the Battle Royale 2 movie, of all people. Shiori Kitano.

Unlike Shiori Kitano, though, my Shiori is not going to be holding grudges and fighting in a war. She's a sweet girl who loves her new friend Madalaine
