Lily Lovebraids - Poppy Playtime, Post-Drama

APPEARANCE: Lily Lovebraids is a slightly tanned ball-jointed doll that lacks a nose, has large oval-shaped eyes with black irises, round ears, vaguely blushed cheeks and a smiling mouth framed by white teeth. She has a long curved eyelash for each eyelid. Her most notable feature is her long vibrant purple hair, which first appears wrapped into a large updo-like style and then unfolds into three lengthy braids, with a singular bang hanging out from her forehead. At the back of her head, there is a golden ring holding some hair braids that stick out from it. Lily is a fashion diva and has TONS of outfits, all lovingly created for her by another toy in the Reformation, Mommy Long Legs. In dark areas, part of Lily's hair glows a bright purple while her eyes and teeth glow green. When losing her temper, Lily's eyes have constricted pupils and are slightly bloodshot, exuding a manic vibe. Each of her braids also seem to end in three gnarled claws. It's becoming less and less common to see Lily this way. Lily stands at 5'6 from head to toe, and is severely underweight at 97.8 pounds, but her body doesn't show it because it is hard plastic. (Because she has flesh and blood under this plastic, however, she is very warm.) Her largest braid is four inches in diameter, has a large bulb at the end that splits into three claw- or finger-like appendages, and reaches just past her height at five feet, ten inches long. The two smaller braids are uniform, three-and-a-half inches in diameter, with gnarled claws and reaching four feet, five inches long.

PERSONALITY: According to her official description, "Overflowing with manic energy and childlike devotion, she hosts tea parties for companions who never leave. Sweet, unstable, and desperate for approval, Lily’s idea of love is obedience—and her games only end when someone breaks." This used to be entirely true, and in some regards, it still can be. Particularly when she has a mental episode or loses her temper. Lily is recovering, slowly but surely, but still has a manic edge to her personality. She is prone to manic episodes, mental breakdowns, and severe and sudden bouts of crying, screaming, aggression, and frustration. They're becoming less and less common as Lily progresses in therapy, but it is still not uncommon to see someone stationed outside of Lily's doors, listening out to make sure she doesn't go too silent or hurt herself. Lily is deeply affectionate and very needy because of her past, and tends to cling to company. (They're working on this in therapy.) Because of this, she often isn't alone for long, and if she's in her dollhouse for more than two hours without someone known to be inside with her, someone—often Ollie or Mommy Longlegs—is sent to check on her. Speaking of Ollie, Lily is constantly seeking Ollie's approval, even though he isn't The Prototype anymore. She is desperate for validation and attention, especially from Ollie, as she sees him—or The Prototype, at the very least—as a savior. More later, but Ollie is kind and gentle with Lily as they both are now, and is often seen playing with her, allowing her to sit on his shoulder when he isn't busy, and sitting quietly and happily with her and other previous followers like CatNap. Lily used to carry around a severed, dirty, bloody Candy Cat plush head, but was recently given a full Candy Cat plush to hold instead. Candy stays in Lily's braid, and Lily constantly talks to her, using her as a way of venting her violent, intrusive, or frankly very rude thoughts and comments. Outside of her manic episodes, deep depressions, emotional swings, desperate need for love and attention, and constant 'good toy' or 'bad toy' judgements of herself and others... and the talking to inanimate objects, Lily is actually very lovely. She's encouraging in her own, excited way, and although she takes others' emotional breakdowns in stride with a smile and a dismissive yet cheerful tone, she is... strangely comforting. If you're upset, she'll wrap you in a blanket and act like it's all a game, but she sure as hell won't let you break down alone. However, she will get a little cross if you get her dirty. Lily doesn't like to be dirty, and she doesn't like her space to be dirty. She wants everything to be clean and tidy, and can become a little obsessive about it. The Candy Cat plush is a lot more rude about it than Lily herself, but again... LIly's Candy Cat isn't sentient, it's all just Lily's thoughts. Lily likes to take bubble baths, and offers them to her friends often. She can often be found tidying up her bedroom, washing her nonsentient toys, or cleaning up her kitchen after a baking spree. Ah, yes, her baking! Lily loves to bake, and she is... average at it. She burns things often, but she gets very upset when nobody wants to eat her baked goods. She's getting better! Slowly. Lily speaks in a manner that is childlike, or at the very least, similar to a preschool teacher. She often uses rhyming nicknames to refer to herself and others, even though their names do not actually match the names used. ("Silly Lily," "Asking Annie," "Winning Wendy," "Sleepy Sue," "Grumpy Gregory," etcetera.) She is described as childishly naive, which she continues to show regardless of her therapy efforts and healing. That is something that will likely remain forever. Overall, Lily Lovebraids is a sweetheart, but she's... very unpredictable.

HISTORY AND TRAUMA: Lily was created using the mind and body of Playtime Co. employee 'Gracie Green,' who indirectly tortured, killed, and directly brainwashed countless children with no remorse. Gracie was killed by a horde of miniature toys during the 'Hour of Joy Massacre' in 1995, brought to The Prototype, and put into Lily Lovebraids' body. Her organs, some flesh, and brain and conscience were transferred into the doll, and tortured by The Prototype, who was rightfully extremely bitter. However, this torture went on for far longer than needed. Gracie was subjected to her own 'conditioning' tapes, in complete isolation, with only the bare minimum necessities for survival. She slowly lost her mind in containment, taking 120 days to completely become Lily Lovebraids in entirety. After becoming Lily, she was isolated for an additional 290 days, making 410 total days of isolation and confinement. From August 10th, 1995, to September 21st, 1995, Gracie/Lily was imprisoned in a pink room made to look like a child's bedroom. Lily affectionately calls this room "the cozy lullaby room," and says she stayed there until she was "all better." Because The Prototype was the one who fed her, gave her water, and eventually let her out to live in her dollhouse on Sweet Street, she saw him as a friend, protector, and savior, and constantly sought his approval. She was unable to understand her past as Gracie Green, having no memory from that point in her life after the mental break and developing split personalities (Lily Lovebraids and Candy Cat), and didn't realize why she was so alone and isolated, not just in general, but among The Prototype's followers. She begged for his approval by throwing tea parties, being a "good toy," and eventually kidnapping his enemies to host a special tea party where he was the guest of honor. (Before the tea party and beyond is detailed, it is important to note that upon finding her former corpse—the skeletal remains of Gracie Green—Lily collected the body, bandaged the broken-open head, connected the bones with plaster and wire, and tucked the skeleton into her own bed. She saw this skeleton as a friend and someone to take care of and comfort, often consoling it. It can be assumed that she believed the skeleton was sick or in pain, as she often very tenderly told it things like "Nobody's gonna hurt you anymore," and "Go back to sleep.") The aforementioned tea party went awry when The Prototype smacked Lily to the floor, allowing the hostages to escape, including Poppy's Angel (Butch Tiller, a former Playtime Co employee who came back once to find out what happened, and twice to begin the Reformation). Sometime after the failed tea party, Poppy's Angel fled the dollhouse, which Lily took as abandonment. Having a deep-rooted revenge drive and fear of abandonment, Lily gave chase. The whole time, she threatened them with the 'bad toy box' (a weapon used by Gracie Green that would grind toys/children alive), and actively attempted to kill them. At the climax of the chase, the 'Angel' panicked and violently pushed Lily to the ground in order to escape. She managed to land with nonfatal injuries, and was treated (reluctantly) by The Prototype. (It was later confirmed that Poppy's Angel/Butch Tiller deeply regretted pushing Lily to her possible death, but had no other choice in order to survive.)

CURRENT STATE: Enough has been said, truly. Lily is impulsive, unpredictable, and still nowhere near sane. She is, however, loving, affectionate, and... not gentle. At all. But she's learning to be! Surprisingly, she is very cheerful and doesn't seem affected by much until something strikes her very deeply. She was not physically injured apart from the fall endured during her chase after 'Angel,' and thus has not needed physical recovery apart from starvation.
