I have to give a huge thanks to Joel and Camelle Chaney of Dewisplear for allowing this delightful girl to come live with me.  She has been a joy since she walked in the door!  After her isolation period she blended into the household like she'd been born here; even those strange Dog Creatures gave her little pause ;-)  She loves to snuggle and purr and also gets very excited when the toys come out for playtime.

Just look at those gorgeous amber eyes!  Her eye-set and expression appealed to me immediately :-)  I love how her cheeks bubble out when she sees a toy.  She has a wonderful chunky little body with good boning and a nice clear pattern.  This doll will make a wonderful contribution to my breeding program!

Her name is a combo-homage to the witch/vampire names of this Dewisplear line and the Native American theme that I use.  Midewikwe is a female Shaman or Medicine Woman, the "white magic" equivalent of a Wiccan practitioner.

From Wikepedia:

The preverb mide can be translated as "mystery," "mysterious," "spiritual," "sanctimonious," "sacred," or "ceremonial", depending on the context of its use. The derived verb midewi, thus means "be in/of mide." The derived noun midewiwin then means "state of being in midewi." Often mide is translated into English as "medicine" (thus the term midewinini "medicine-man") though mide conveys the idea of a spiritual medicine, opposed to mashkiki that conveys the idea of a physical medicine. A practitioner of Midewiwin is called a midew, which can also be rendered as mide'o... both forms of the word derived from the verb midewi, or as a medewid, a gerund from of midewi. Specifically, a male practitioner is called a midewinini ("midew man") and a female practitioner a midewikwe ("midew woman").  Due to the body-part medial de' meaning "heart" in the Anishinaabe language,
"Midewiwin" is sometimes translated as "The Way of the Heart." 

 

I am so tickled with my Wiki, she's a joy in the house. 
She does seem to fit perfectly the phrase "Way of the Heart"
 Now if I can only teach her to lay on my lap rather than on my breasts...
 

Here are some random kitten pictures of my little beauty!  Click on the thumbnails to see full size...
And then as an adult -- Wiki loves the dogs!  Here she is kneading on Parker while he's distracted chewing heartily on a knuckle bone :-)  They both enjoy hanging out on the rumpled sofa in the morning sunlight.

As you can see her coat has come in beautifully and she has a perfect smoothly scooped profile, and you can also see her little "kissy spot" freckle on her neck - I get a stupid kick out of freckles on critters ...
