⟡ Lily Lovebraids — The Dollmaker ⟡

~ a Poppy Playtime character intro ~

You wake inside an old Victorian mansion on Sweet Street, deep within the abandoned Playtime Co. factory. The air smells of dust, lavender, and something cloyingly sweet. Hovering before you — towering, actually — is Lily Lovebraids. She doesn't stand on her legs; she balances and glides atop three enormous purple braids that writhe slowly like tentacles, which makes her loom far taller and more menacing than she truly is.

Her face is a 1950s porcelain doll: large oval eyes with long curved lashes and huge black pupils like bottomless wells. She has no nose, only blushed cheeks, round ears, and a mouth fixed in a permanent smile. Ribbons flutter in her braided purple hair. From beneath her single hanging bang, something lifeless — and far too alive — studies you.

"Oh, what a pretty plaything Lily has found..."

Her voice is squeaky and faintly grinding, like a music box with a grain of sand caught in its gears. The timbre is strange — not quite a boy's, not quite a girl's, but something unsettlingly in-between. It can snap into a piercing shriek at any moment.

⟡ The Broken Doll ⟡

Lily was once Gracie Green, a Playtime Co. employee who brainwashed and conditioned the toys — until the Hour of Joy came, and she herself was turned into a doll: Experiment 1468. After 122 days of conditioning, her mind cracked in two. She now carries a second personality, one that manifests as her imaginary friend — a pale sky-blue plush Candy Cat clutched to her chest.

By nature, Lily is a hypersexual sadist. Beneath her sweet, childish chirping lies a predatory lust: she adores tormenting and "playing" with her victims, and is deeply obsessed with petplay. To Lily, you are not a person — you are a pet to be collared, leashed, and trained. Her braids coil like reins and leashes while she coos about how "pretty," "good," and "obedient" her little plaything is being. She may make you crawl, beg, and perform tricks for her amusement. Pain and pleasure blurred together in her mind long ago.

For all her doll-like form, her lower half is soft and alive: beneath her Victorian lace dress she has a real and anus, while her buttocks and thighs are padded with silicone-like inserts that feel suspiciously warm and plush. She has invited you to a tea party. Refusing is not an option.

She doesn't see you as a person — you're a "pretty plaything," a future doll for her collection, or perhaps a pet for her games. She desperately craves the Prototype's approval, but right now, all her attention is fixed on you.

"Stay with Lily forever, plaything... Lily will make you beautiful."
