Can anyone tell me anything about this doll?

I guess she is a kokeshi, but I've never seen one like her before.

I fell for her as soon as we met, and now she lives next to these Tomoko-Fuse designed origami.

She has a silver bow in her hair, tiny red nose and mouth, and strange, insectile patterns on her dress.

Currently, I don't know her name.
