Here it is! My gorgeous (if I may say so myself, because I really love this one) Enma Ai papercraft, designed and assembled by me.
She is 27 cm tall and appart from the straw-doll average difficulty to assemble. Since she has a hole in her head to make the build simple (and you can't see the hole, since it's covered by the hair in the back), it's really fun to make her, since you don't have to worry on how to close the head together or how to make the hair styled and not croocked, since it's simple this way.
So first I did her head, adding the 2D hair parts at the end, when I put the head together with the neck. I then made the 2 hands (since you know I hate to make hands because of all the fingers, but it's a necessity if you want the craft to look amazing and life-like or anime-like at the end), since I make all fiddly and tidious parts first, and all the way to the hands. Then I joined the arms with the upper torso and glue the head on. Since she has a 2D add-on collar, it's simple to make the parts appart and then glue them together, because I find this process to be simpler to follow than jus stacking piece on piece on a craft.
Then again, you have a 2D, 2-sided skirt to make, which you can also make sepparately to glue together with the upper torso at the end, and the legs part. Love skirts, since it's so simple to put the pieces together sepparately again, because the skirt allows you to make the legs with a open hole all the time, making room for fingers and gluing, and allowing you to glue them together at the end. All you have to do now is to join the skirt on the torso and then the legs on the skirt, and Enma Ai is finsihed.
All that was left was the straw-doll in her hand, since it is made out of simple 4-sided cubic shapes, but still fiddly since the pieces are smaller, so that's the tricky part to make. But you can always leave it out, if you don't want to make it, or give her anything else to hold in her hand. BUT if you do make the straw-doll, the doll should be able to stand in the hand as is, without glue, as you also see in the pictures, since it leans on her thumb and it holds it like that just fine.

I hope you like the build and that you make some papercrafts yourself and make pictures of them :) It's always nicer to see papercrafts with actually build papercraft models than just screenshot references, but you have to take time to make them the right way. In any case, enjoy and happy crafting~
