Looking for some older figures (maybe not from DAZ3D)

The trouble with maintaining a freebie wiki and looking for freebies of any sort to list there is that one occasionally runs into freebies for figures one just can't find anywhere. One has decided to ask for help with finding a few of them.

I'm looking for legal sources for these figures, most of which I only know the names:

* Brita / Britta (Not sure how the name is supposed to be spelled; I've seen both spellings.)
* Rosy Cheeks Lina (In this case, I know she's a pre-teen female who can share some of ChibiBel's wardrobe. Last I knew, she was at Faerie Dreams and not free, but they're closed.)
* Trixie
* Wapi Pu

Lacking links to legal sources for these figures (paid or free), descriptions and renders that meet this forum's TOS and that one can share under a CC-BY/SA license (so I can list them on the wiki with a note that they aren't available any more) would be second-best.

Note that I do not want to host any downloads - I just want links.

Can anyone help?

    Britta can be found in the Poser section of ShareCG.

    Thanks!

    (I wonder why I didn't find her there ... maybe I only searched the one-t spelling?)

    Rosy Cheeks Lina (loved her) by Toshiyo was not free and was sold at Renderosity but is no longer there. Toshiyo was ill for several years, came back to the poserverse with a new version but the market had moved on and as far as I know the newer version (which sold at Faerie Dreams) is no longer available.

    However his site still exists! In Japanese

    Edit: There were two separate versions. And the one you mention above is the second. Kalypso had done sets of textures for the first version's clothing packs by Toshiyo and also sold them at Rendo. I believe she has since made them free.

    I looked for Wapi Pu and cannot find any active links for the base. While I do have the figure and some clothes for her too the base cannot be shared according to the readme.

    There is a Trixie character by sixus1 at ShareCG but I am not sure that it is the one you are looking for:

    I was told by the owner of Wapi Pu years ago that the figure would no longer be distributed. I want to say it was due to piracy reasons or something of the sort, but i cant recall for certain.

    I've found some freebies for her here:

    I have the new version of Rosa so I wonder if there's any compatibility problems with clothes etc. between the old and the new one?

    I never got the newer version and don't remember whether it was backwards compatible. :(

    I don't know, either ... I keep seeing freebies for a Trixie on EvilInnocence's website; this might be the same figure.

    I'm not surprised... I know you're busy; would you be willing to donate a small render of Wapi Pu anyway, since you actually have a legal copy of her? (250px square is big enough.)

    I don't have Wapi Pu either. As I understand it she wasn't available for very long and the reason I heard was that some were using her commercially and that wasn't 'part of the deal'.
