- A personality study of "The Doll Collector".
- This is a subject touched on by her basic bio yet does feel as though needs to be expanded on as a central topic. Without going into the convoluted nature of her kind's reproduction in too great of detail, the state of their avatars at the time of conception influences the offspring and just as frequently the conditions they are raised in. For The Doll Collector this meant being born to two very powerful parents while in their eldritch abomination forms and growing up in Hell dimensions and fantasy type worlds. Her parents are both very powerful and are the types to create pocket dimensions to play in and influence the evolution of entire worlds. In general "Architect of Hell", "Architect of Magic", "I was the one who created the tower of the gods that gives your world magic and introduced monsters and enchanted items to make your world the way it is"; in the end they'd take on limited form and "play" in these worlds. Demon overlords, devil queens, heroes, sages, the top of the pantheons (even creating "lesser immortals" to act as administrators in their absence for when they return later).
- THIS, is the environment Doll Collector grew up in. A family of eternal beings and most anyone or anything else she met was something they either created or manipulated and were using as a means to pass the time. The Doll Collector would even become the villain who stole the princess or prince, the mysterious being in the woods, the fairy queen, and so many other roles with different rules. However she was not fond of ephemeral limitations, that being LOSS. She isn't alone in that regard, but rather than granting immortality or godhood to people she liked; she turned them into dolls of various kinds. Even before she started to do that she had already been bringing dolls and such to life and took a liking to their aesthetics. To her every living thing was a potential toy, and she wanted to KEEP THEM, change them, but in her own way also care for them. As soon as she claims something as HERS she will protect them and provide a safe place for them...its just she also transforms them based on her own whims as she regards everything the same way a person might customizable NPCS in a game with an AI. She doesn't really differentiate between natural life and the things her family makes.
- In this same regard of note is "the rules", she very often regards a potential "new doll" as a prize for a game if she wins. She will obey various local rules, limitations, but not to the same degree her parents have (no actual limitations like power limitations or amnesia or the use of physically limited avatars as she doesn't find those things fun *although she will use different shells that display damage to different substances or durability differences and pretend she is being harmed); but she is strict to follow any rules she makes for herself. Such as one world not being able to cross running water, salt, or connected links of iron. Maybe a world where she can't be active in sunlight, or has to act through a medium like a special doll, or has to use minions or requires being summoned, and so on. Anyone that by some chance has encountered her more than once may pick up on that she changes the rules based on different targets. Including instances where some secret agency "contains" her, and does so, so well her minions can't even manage to break her out; that she just says something to the effect, "I lose" or "game over" and vanishes from the containment cell. She has accepted she lost the game she was playing even if no one else realized that's what she was doing. In that same vein however is that while she will obey these limitations, if she is under the impression she won and is being denied her prize; or else wants one her dolls and finds it/they is/are being held somewhere secure she will ignore whatever rules she had set or will set later and simply retrieve them (including slaughtering guards, dissolving walls, and treating physics like an admin who has turned off their hit box response so everything is just meaningless if they can't act on her level). However she rarely takes things so serious.
- While not totally the "immature immortal" trope, she does fall close to it as she just wants to play and collect dolls; in her own horror movie way.
