Ａｎｄ  ｗｈａｔ  ｗｏｕｌｄ  ｙｏｕ  ｌｉｋｅ， 

ｍｙ ｇｏｏｄ ｌｏｒｄ？

User; Xhat, current owner of two dolls!
Doll's Name; Nero
Name Meaning; A name probably of Sabine origin meaning "strong, vigourous". It was borne most infamously by a tyrannical Roman emperor of the 1st century.
Gender; Nero refers to himself with male pronouns and the like.
Personality; He's a doll who holds himself to what he's worth and no more. Nero is extremely down-to-earth and practical, only really acting when it truly makes sense. This being said, he doesn't speak much, but when he does, Nero speaks in a low voice that contains much meaning. Despite his good qualities, the doll finds it hard to become attached to things, and is prone to abandoning what he doesn't particularly care for.

Shadow's Name; Lucretia
Name Meaning; Feminine form of the Roman family name Lucretius, possibly from the Latin word lucrum meaning "profit, wealth".
Gender; Appears to be biologically female, and appears to use the corresponding pronouns.
Original Item; Lucretia was born from petals shed from a rose which had wilted. The rose was a gift from one lover to another, and coincidentally perished when the relationship ended. The petals that make up her dress are indeed the originals, though have returned to look healthy again - only for the sake of her appearance.
Personality; Bright and bubbly, Lucretia is a constant voice in Nero's ear. Constantly chattering and extremely talkative, she's always eager to offer him a bit of friendly advice, or a little dirt on some other doll that she managed to uncover. This being said, she can be a bit of a brown-nose, using others' strengths to make herself more influential, in a sense. Nonetheless, she bears an extreme loyalty to Nero, him being the one she wouldn't think of betraying - ever.


Relationship; Nero and Lucretia's relationships is a little unorthodox, to be honest. Quite frankly,
Nero could care less if he had Lucretia constantly buzzing about in his ear. Not that he'd ditch her
at the first chance he got, but the option... is still there. However, Lucretia looks to Nero as if he
were a god. She views him as some higher being, constantly praising him and generally displaying
joyous feelings in his direction. After all, he was a big factor in how she came to exist. Some may
even say that she is infatuated with him, to the point where it's out of hand.


Ｈｍ．．．  Ｗｈａｔ＇ｓ  ｔｈａｔ？ 
Ｙｏｕ＇ｄ  ｌｉｋｅ  ｔｏ  ｒｅｍｉｎｉｓｃｅ  ｏｎ  ｈｏｗ  ｗｅ  ｍｅｔ？ 

Ｃａｎ  ｄｏ，ｍｙ  ｌｏｒｄ！

A sigh managed to escape the doll's mouth, and heaving himself over the very edge of his home, he
plummeted straight into... snow. Twitching fingers reached upwards to pull the golden scarf over his
face - even as a being made of wood, the chill of winter still ran through him. "Nero," came a voice
from behind him. "Please be careful. It's awfully cold out and your joints can freeze." The voice was
childlike, with a high-pitch, and trailed off as it watched the back of Nero.

"I'm not coming back." Nero's words came out like the icy wind billowing about. He didn't even bother
to turn as he spoke. Before his former companion could come up with a response he traipsed off, back
turned to what he now viewed as 'old news'. In the distance, he could hear them screaming at him.

"Go on, you idiot! It's never like you'll be able to settle anywhere, anyways!"

Nero was unaffected by those words.

Almost a full day had passed, and Nero still journeyed; vaulting himself over fallen tree branches and
clambering over snow-covered rocks. Whenever the air would begin to bite at his joints would he duck
down for cover, huddling for warmth - despite his lack of body heat.

Only after another meager hour of travelling, the doll came upon a small cottage. 'Humans?' He thought
to himself, allowing his jacket to slip off of his shoulders absentmindedly. 'If i can sneak in, there's a good
chance i'll be able to melt this frost and can continue moving.' And so he did just that, crouching down and
prowling towards the doorstep. If anything, he would be able to use his small stature to get it - the packed
mounds of snow enabled him to climb up to where he wouldn't be able to reach under normal circumstances.

Almost coincidentally, the door was open just a crack, no light seeping out from the the inside. This made
Nero wary - if there wasn't even a fire lit inside, there would be no point in going it. But the small bit of
heat the radiated from that crack, taunting the doll, and eventually drawing him in.

But the first thing that greeted Nero was not the warmth that he was seeking. It was a small mass of black
wearing the petals of a wilted flower, crouching down on the tiled floor as if it was sleeping. Yet upon sensing
the presence of another it perked up, eyes gleaming.

"You... You're a doll!" It exclaimed with a weak, crackly voice. Rising to its knees, the small being - what Nero
assumed to be female - began crawling towards him. "Please! Please... help me. I... I need a doll to make a
contract with me if I am to live." Nero's eyebrows knit together, and he took a step back. He had heard of
shadows and took no interest, but with something as pitiful as this kneeling before him - begging - he just
couldn't say no. If he was to save her life...

"Alright. Though, please don't get in my way." Acknowledging her first, Nero nodded his head, soon after
striding around her and towards the fireplace, where the embers of what was once a fire crackled. A
plethora of thanks and grateful phrases could be heard behind him, and with a hearty smile, the little
fairy danced to her feet and chased after him.

"May I call you my lord?"

"No, just Nero is fine."

"Alright, Nero, my Lord. My name is Lucretia!"

Nero sighed. Though the embers of something new burned between them, the doll still wasn't sure what
to think of his newly found shadow. 'Why did it have to be the annoying one?'

What he didn't notice, however, was that Lucreatia's petal dress had grew bright, restored to its former glory.

"Oh sorry didn't see you there!!" Squeaked one of Soliel's friends as the group pooled around the unwelcomed stranger. Most of the loud girls hushed to wait for the other party's response.
"It's ok most people don't"
Where some girls simply responded with a well-deserved eye roll, Soliel was much more outspoken, opening her mouth

"Okay, I get it, you're quietly brooding here, but that was a line straight from Twilight, I'm almost certain"
"Wait, what?"
"My aren't you articulate?"
"Oh, I'm just elaborate, aren't you, soulmate?"

Their relationship

You know that little voice insideyour head? You know the one, the one that tells you what is good and what is bad, what you should do, and what you shouldn't do? Damarius doesn't have it. Or, well, he wouldn't have it without Noor. Noor is his voice of
conscience. She cares deeply about Damarius and makes sure he never strays too far from the right path, which seems to happen all to often given his tendency to get into all sorts of trouble whenever she's not looking. Damarius himself usually seems to be rather annoyed by Noor's motherly attitude and her constant bickering, but he usually listens to her and does as she says.
Maybe he's not as heartless and unfeeling as he pretends to be after all? In return for her "services", Damarius protects
Noor. In a way, he's even overprotective. He hates letting others so much as talk to his Shadow, barely even wants others
to look at her. He gets incredibly angry whenever someone upsets Noor, and you really don't want to know just how angry
he gets whenever someone threatens to hurt her. Noor is not only Damarius' best friend, she's also his weakest spot.
Not that he would ever admit that, or allow anyone to take advantage of his weak spot.

About the Doll

Name: Damarius; combination of the prefix "Da" and
the name "Marius", which was derived from Mars, the
Roman god of War.

Nicknames: Marius, Mars, Mare, Dari

Sex: Male

Gender: Agender; they/them/their or he/him/his

Personality: The best word to describe Damarius with
is probably apathetic. He's emotionally distant, doesn't
seem to relate to anyone, nor does he ever appear to
get attached to someone else. He's aloof, doesn't talk
much, and his trademark scowl's usually enough to
scare most others away from him. He has no regard for
others, mostly just cares about himself and his own
needs, and rarely, if ever, thinks about what
consequences his actions will have for those around
him. While he usually doesn't care about the things
that are happening around him, he has been known
to get aggressive and even violent at times, especially
when Noor is in some form of trouble.

About the Shadow

Name: Noor, a transcription of the name Nur, which
means "light" in Arabic. Alternative spelling variations
also include Nour and Nura.

Nicknames: None

Sex: Female

Gender: Demigirl, she/her/hers or they/them/their

Personality: Noor is a very responsible, if a little
uptight and serious being. She rarely jokes around,
although she still manages to appear kind-hearted,
welcoming and friendly. In a way, she and Damarius
are complete opposites. He lacks emotions, while
Noor has a lot of trouble controlling hers. She cares
deeply about the people around her, loves to help
and give advice, and is overall just the kind of
person most people would love to have as a friend.

[LaurelLeaf]

Username: LaurelLeaf


Name: Jin (From Chinese 金 (jīn) meaning "gold, metal, money")


Art by me

Gender: Asigned male by the toy store.

Personality: Practical, altruistic, intense

Jin is a giver. He will always stop to help people (and get involved in their drama...). He is quite dedicated/devoted to his friends (will likely do anything that Kali asks of him). He makes attachement easily when helping people and he becomes loyal.

In a situation of conflict Jin strives to always (when possible) go to the most adventageous answer for everyone (win-win, so that everyone is satified. It quells the perfectionist inside). When resolving a problem/helping Jin chooses the voice of empathy and understanding over cold, hard logic. He can't help but feel for others. His empathy is practical and gives him insight about what another individual is experiencing.

He is meticulous in his actions and careful in their execution. Jin takes a steady approach and bends to the needs to the requiring situation just enough to accomplish his goals. He always ensures that enveything is done in the highest standard and often goes beyond what is required.

On the flip side, his easy altruism and concern for others makes him wary of showing emotions to protect others and their feelings (negative opinion). He is very private and will repress his feelings to acomodate others. He has trouble seperating personal issues and impersonal and any conflicts can leak through from one situation to another unrelated one.

Shadow's Name: Kali (KAH-lee)


Art by me

Gender: After brief consideration, this shadow identifies as female.

Personality: Excitable, absent minded, over emotional

Kali thrives on the energy of life and observes everything, enthusiastically associating meaning and human perspective to all that she sees. This significance that she associates to everything makes other perceive her as hyperalert, oversensitive and suspicious (because human presence isn't always good).

She has a characteristic short attention span and diverse interests makes her start projects without ever finishing them (well, now she's stuck with Jin for the foreseeable future...nothing can be done about that as she quite enjoys life). Which leads to her habbit of going off on tangents and getting distracted by new stimuli.

She is pretty arrogant and agressively confident in her beliefs (she is indisputably always right!).

Relationship: Attraction

When Jin wakes up form his nap as an inanimate object, he finds that he is bound to a Shadow named Kali. Jin is at first is confused about his transition of an object into a somewhat living thing.

He finds his connection to Kali to be grounding and in little time comes to trust her completly. He is devoted to her and as long as he will be trying to find himself, he will follow her to the end of the earth.

Kali suggest they go to the Dollhouse. Jin isn't sure where she got her information, but it beats moping over his many existential crises.

They trudge through the city in search for the famed portal.

They argue a lot and mostly get distracted (Kali!). They'll make it at some point...

Short Story:

Their relationship is based off attraction. Kali chooses this particular doll for a contract, not because Jin was particularly handsome (well, he is, but that's not the reason), but because of the clothes he wore. The bright green cardigan that he wore attracted her eye and she just had to touch it. Then she noticed his scarf. It sparkled just like her wings. Even his hair looked liked it had an interesting texture; all spiky, yet it seemed to flow like strands of low hanging branches (so interesting!).

All of his nice clothes reminded the little fairy of her origins. It reminder her of the little doll dress left discarded by a fickle little girl who had so many dresses they all blended into one mass of colour and fabric. That dress which had been left forgotten on the bottom of a drawer. It was forgotten for so long that Kali had been born of it.

So, like the impulsive tiny thing that she is, she forms a contract with the doll, Jin, and he breathes in for the first time gathering life into him and securing the bond between Shadow and Doll.

Jin is reborn and he is confused. As a doll he hadn't been sentient, but he still had memories of being an object. He doesn't who he is.

He opens his eyes and looks into the tiniest face he has ever seen. He doesn't have time to learn or graduatly grow into himself before he sees his creator and reason for being alive.

Those tiny, minuscule, eyes peers into his, "I was just kind of hoping that you'd fall in love with me, so that I'd keep you," She starts in a dreamy voice, out of the blue, without any context or proper greeting.

Jin doesn't say anything and just takes her in. The little shadow is as small as his fist. She looks delicate like a china doll. Being aware makes him feel a strange echo of absolute terror. All that he is consumes him for a moment (alive, real, but fake) until he catches glitter on the girl's wings. He can hear something like bells chiming, but he is too concentrated on the flutter and subsequent infinite shower of glittery dust.

The shrill, "Hey!" snaps him into focus, but his face must've been inadequatly expressive for the fairy because she continues with some rapid questions, "What's wrong with you? Can you hear me? Oh my god, are you deaf?" each sentence become louder until the girl is shouting.

From his reclined position, Jin finds his voice a yells, "Enough!"

They stare at each other until Jin slumps down covers his face with his arm and asks, "What's going on? I was... I was different before."

Jin can feel the fairy land on his chest (her tiny feet are like little grounding points that he can focus on).

"I'm your Shadow, that means that I am become a part of you just like you are a part of me. We give each other life," she says with her chiming voice.

Jin uncovers his face and asks, "What's your name?"

He can see the perly shine of her teeth when she chirps, "My name is Kali."

A sister like brother relationship that is confusing. They often point out each other's flaws but enjoy each other's presence. Complete opposites of each other.
