Folly | Redeemed / Therapist

Folly wears a white turtleneck sweater, black boots, and a white beret. Her legs are black with red-tinted eyes on them. The dark form of her head resembles spiky black hair. She also wears a white wooden mask with a diamond-shaped "eye" cut out, but her mask was shattered and about half of the right side remains. On the left of her face, she has a bright glowing red eye with red lashes and a pupil made of two yellow rings. Her clawed fingertips have a vibrant red gradient to them. Due to Folly’s height, she looks down at the player when interacted with.

As shown in the official mini-comic The Cleave, Folly's belly has three red cuts on it, the same wounds that can be seen on The Great One in Eternal Limbo, but this is not visible in-game as her sweater covers it up completely.

Folly WAS a dream demon, feeding off others negative emotions such as fear, hatred or malice. After having the parasite that had been corrupting her removed however, she moved on from this hostile role due to being in control once more. Now she acts as a therapist that enters others dreams and feeds off them rather than inducing nightmares that harm these people.

Folly had been intensely cruel in the past, fantasizing about killing other NPCS or bring up traumatic events that have happened to them in her dialogue. After the removal of the parasite within her though, she no longer felt the need to be irrationally cruel. She's just honest now, and she herself is trying to improve as a person. It hasn't proven easy given her reputation from her past actions, it's also safe to assume she battles with forgiving herself for all those people she hurt when she lost control.

Folly dislikes her clothing, especially her beret (as it reminds her of the betrayal of The Great One, the same entity that created her) and usually reacts negatively when it is brought up. Due to conversations with Split and Wallter, it is implied that her clothes are 'chained' to her. The Cleave describes the clothes as "wills" from The Great One, with the beret allowing thought, the clothes allowing feeling, and the mask allowing vision. Nowadays she has completely discarded this look, instead opting in to wear a simple white dress shirt with long sleeves and black khakis. Her hats completely gone.

Folly used to turn away all attempts at compassion, refusing nearly all items given to her. This is implied to be because of the tree falsely offering her 'true freedom' in The Cleave, which resulted in her being infected by the nightmare parasite. Now though, she's been far more open to making friends, even if it's a bit difficult given her track record.

Folly is able to shapeshift and change dream forms.

The breaking of Folly’s mask most likely took a toll on her. She seems to 'lack a sense of self', as it shows her mask breaking off in a comic made about her. Later on though, she finds herself accepting the broken mask as a part of herself. She's here to help and save others now, and while she may no longer be considered the dreamer, she can still make a difference all the same.

Folly is able to possess the bodies of others. She prefers not to, as it is generally useless for her situation. She stopped doing this after becoming a therapist.

Folly is 9'5, (287 cm) and chubby beneath her sweater. She quite enjoys poetry and books overall, as said by Walter. Walter seems to be one of the few people she has a quote on quote "friendship" with.

Though Folly often just tormented her victims mentally in their dreams, she's shown to be able to also kill them. This is proven with how she kills Melanie, tearing the robotic bunny's TV head off and targeting her for the sake of Melanie being too trusting and innocent. This left Melanie with severe PTSD, never wishing to see Folly again even after Mozelle had bring the TV bunny back to life. Folly doesn't hold this against Melanie in the slightest, understanding fully just why she would be terrified of her even if she claimed to change. Deep down though, Folly feels immensely guilty for putting any living creature through that. If given the chance, she would make it up to Melanie however she could.

Folly is pansexual and also aromantic (little to no attraction), not caring for others mainly due to the fact she doesn't want a partner, believing a relationship isn't for her- at least now, as she doesn't believe herself to be truly redeemed. She doesn't wish to hurt anyone else, so she avoids giving herself the chance at all.

Folly's dream realm / most important place is called the dream palace. It is a golden landscape like place with floating pieces of land and papers scattered everywhere. This is likely a representation of her inner struggle for acceptance beneath it all and how even now things never seem to be aligned how they should be.

Folly accepts her past as her past now. She no longer yearns to be the dreamer once more, instead understanding that time is long ago and she has a new purpose now

In her Dreamer form, she was almost entirely white, with several gold, four-pointed star shaped patterns on her legs. The soles of her feet were also coloured gold, and unlike her present self, she did not wear pants or boots, though her beret and sweater remain the same. Her mask was whole and symmetrical, but with rounded eye holes and two black spirals on her cheeks (While not in her regular design, her 2024 Christmas and 2025 April Ghouls' designs both have spirals, with the Christmas design having a red spiral, and the April Ghouls' having a black one). She had fluffy, cloudlike white “hair” and had three five-pointed stars attached to it, akin to ornaments. In one of her floppies, it’s revealed that she still has these stars, but either cannot or does not wear them due to them being broken.

Her Dreamer form was also significantly shorter than she is at present, but whether her current height came from the passage of time or as a result of being possessed by the nightmare parasite is unknown. After the removal of this parasite, she did not shrink back though. She remained at her towering height.

Though Folly has healed, she still has some abilities from the dream parasite. She uses these in her dream therapy sessions.

The way she starts her therapy sessions either begin with meeting her in the real world or ALLOWING her into their dreams. She will not force herself inside, knowing consents important.

Her and Melanie have officially been reunited, and the pair shared a few tears together. Folly expressed her immense regret for hurting Melanie, killing someone as kind as her even under the influence of a parasite and while Melanie was reluctant at first, she eventually forgave Folly.
