So, here are the details on the skin. 
I was trying to make it more simple, since it's a childs toy.
So I didn't add a billion details.
My basic idea was she is like a candle.
Her hair is the fire, and her shirt is the candle wax. I was trying to add a wick in there somewhere, so I made her pants striped, and the black is the wick. Her boots are just candle wax again.
I added specks of orange on her hair, to make it look like sparks.
 I wanted her to look soft and mellow, so I made the pallete soft colors.
I really wanted to do my childhood toy, but I thought that this idea was more original than a stuffed dog.
The idea behind her being a candle is for her to be a light in the dark for the child.
So if they're scared, they can hold her and know that they're safe from monsters.
This is 1.8 so some features are removed if you're on 1.7.10 or before that.
You can have this skin on alex arms or steve 4 pixel, but on alex, some of the sleeve goes on the skin of the character. I'll try and fix that.
Here's the short story. I hope you like it! <3
Old toys:
Lucy sat in the cart, while her mom rode her cart down the aisle.
She was feeling upset that day, and her mother wanted to cheer her up.
"Lulu, don't you think this is a nice toy?" Her mother asked her smiling. It was a doll, with a pink ballerina dress. "I like yellow." Lucy said grumpily. She was turning five soon.
She was a grown up, and pink was too girly. She scanned the toy aisle for a yellow toy. A bunny. A big dinosaur. Lucy saw a light yellow boot of a doll sticking out of a pile of toys. 
She pointed at it excited now, all grumpiness dissipated in that second.
"Yellow! That one!" She cried out. Her mother walked over, and picked up the toy.
It suddenly lit up, glowing yellow.
"It glows! That one, that one!" She said.
Her mother handed the toy, saying, "It's a pretty little girl, isn't it?"  Lucy nodded hugging it. It was the prettiest little girl she'd ever seen. She looked at the shirt the doll had. It was a creamy yellow. The striped pants were black and yellow. Her boots were yellow, with a slight bit of pink. She didn't care if it had a tiny bit of pink. As long as it glowed. Oh, how it glowed. That was the best part. She looked at the hair. It was orange. It had tiny bits of red glow. It was so wonderful. She would take it everywhere! She looked up and saw her mother smiling. "Can I please have her mom?" Lucy pleaded. "As long as you take very good care of her." Her mother replied.  Lucy was so happy that as soon as they got home, she ate her food as fast as she could, and said goodnight. Her father was just happy that she was happy. She remembered what an older kid said about her. They said she was spoiled. She asked her mom what it meant and she was happy she was spoiled.
After getting tucked in, her mother turned the light off. Everything was so dark. She smiled, and hugged her doll til it lit up. She saw the small girl smiling back at her. She didn't have to worry about monsters anymore having the little girl to protect her. She now realized her name for the doll. Candle. . .
Soon after that, she drifted off. Dreaming happy and pleasant dreams.
Years later. . .
"Lucy!" Her mom called, as she packed one of her last boxes. "What mom?" She said poking her head out her bedroom door.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to look through these old boxes?" Her mom asked carrying two small boxes over and setting them down. "Alright. I just packed my last box, so I can only take a little bit more." She replied. After her mother walked off, talking about some financial bill, she opened the box. Old toys. She shuffled through some, and saw a small boot sticking out. She pulled out the old toy. Candle. Her favorite toy as a child. Going off to college she doubted she'd need it. She squeezed the doll, seeing it light up dimly. Remembering what she thought to herself such a long time ago.
She would take it everywhere.
Grabbing the doll, she put it in the box, and taped it in.
