Create a 9-heads-tall soft vinyl figure inspired by a gothic, Victorian-era character. The figure should capture the dark elegance and sophisticated allure seen in the reference image. The character's expression should reflect a subtle, confident demeanor, with piercing eyes and a slight smirk to convey strength and poise. The character wears a fitted, high-collared purple dress with puffed shoulders and intricate fabric textures, featuring thin vertical lines. The dress should have a delicate bow tied at the neckline, maintaining a Victorian-inspired aesthetic. The figure's hands and posture should be refined, adding to the overall elegance. The figure’s proportions should emphasize a slender, elongated silhouette--avoiding the exaggerated stylization of Barbie dolls. The vinyl material should have a slightly matte finish, giving the figure a tactile, soft appearance. In the background, incorporate elements of a Victorian-style mansion garden, with hints of twisted, leafless trees and wrought iron fences, giving a sense of mystery and timelessness. Subtle, faded brushstrokes should suggest a foggy, eerie atmosphere. The overall design should feel like a sophisticated, hand-painted collectible that harmonizes with the character's gothic aura and intricate detailing.
