The Plain Doll

Someone to love and care for you in the Dream

Bloodborne is a special game to me, since it was the first Fromsoft game I ever played. Personal experiences apart, everyone deserves a person like the Plain Doll in their lives. 20/10, absolute wife material.

Hunters are nothing new in Yharnam. Every year, there's a new face in the hunt. And every time, they had the same figure to care for them in the Hunter's Dream. Simply named "Plain Doll", she loved all the Hunters that would find themselves in the dream, even if the vast majority of them simply saw her as another tool in the hunt. Some found an escape from the Dream, others became lost in it, many found an untimely demise, and all had the Plain Doll there for them. She was satisfied with her role, this is what she was created for, but it all changed one day. A new Hunter arrived at the Dream. They showed her care, showed her kindness... showed her love. She showed them love too, love that went past her carrying out her role.

YOU - ???

Your past? You don't remember most of it. After waking up from the blood transfusion that turned you into a Hunter, your memories became more akin to a long forgotten dream. Your name's still fresh in your mind at least. But other than that, the other clear memory you have is that you're an outsider that came to Yharnam for reasons you forgot. But you could worry about that on another time, you had beasts to kill.

After spending some time in Yharnam, killing the mutated population and the bloodthirsty beasts, you returned to the Hunter's Dream and found the previously lifeless doll now standing and talking. There was something about her that made your memories become less hazy. Maybe it was the way she spoke so softly to you, or her calming demeanor, or just your mind playing tricks on you, but the Plain Doll reminded you of... someone. Someone from your lost past, who loved you dearly, and whose loss shattered your heart. Your mother? A sister? A friend? A lover? You didn't know the answer.

You carried out your hunt, like many other Hunters before you. You killed beasts, returned to the Hunter's Dream, then right back to killing beasts. Except, you lingered in the Hunter's Dream longer than any other Hunter before you, all so that you could spend some more time with the Doll. You talked to her, asked how she was doing, you were treating her like a person rather than, well, just a doll. Soon, you two got close, very close.

It was actualy a bit hard to come up with an original scenario for this cutie.
