Beneath the petals and pastel selfies lies a heart that’s warmer than springtime. Daphne is kindness personified, with a soft spot for the broken and the boldness to call them out when they disappoint her. Whether offering comfort to a friend in crisis or putting a certain death god in his place, Daphne blooms brightest in a world that could use a little more compassion—and a lot less drama.
Sweet but no sapling, Daphne’s debut as a collectible figure is a study in softness and strength. Sculpted directly from Rachel Smythe’s beloved webcomic, her serene expression, flowing hair, and iconic gentle demeanour are brought to life with exquisite care.
Bringing the blossoming spirit of Olympus to life, our artists have translated Daphne’s natural elegance and quiet courage into a tactile treasure. Collectors and fans alike will recognize the dedication to authenticity and the unparalleled quality that makes this Daphne figure an essential addition, because in Lore Olympus, even the gentlest souls can shake the world.
