   Dolls are humanoid magical constructs commonly created from materials such as wood and porcelain, with rarer and more durable varieties constructed from stone, iron, or other specialized materials. Their appearance varies depending on their intended purpose and craftsmanship, though most can be identified by the visible seams around their joints and their somewhat rigid movements.

   Basic dolls possess limited intelligence and follow simple commands. Their speech and movements can often appear stiff or mechanical, though more sophisticated models can imitate human behavior with varying degrees of success.

   Dolls are primarily employed for menial and dangerous work, serving as porters, household servants, laborers, guards, and scouts. Their lack of fatigue and relatively low maintenance makes them particularly valuable to adventurers, who commonly employ dolls to carry equipment or explore dangerous areas that would otherwise place a living companion at risk. As a result, dolls are often regarded as expendable equipment rather than individuals.

   Most dolls are animated by a mana stone embedded within their bodies. The quality of this stone is one of the primary factors determining a doll's capabilities, autonomy, durability, and price. Higher-quality mana stones allow for more sophisticated behavior and longer operation before their stored energy is depleted.

   Mana stones can generally be replaced when exhausted or damaged, allowing a doll to continue functioning indefinitely so long as its body can be maintained.

   True sentience among dolls is extraordinarily rare. Most dolls possess only the intelligence necessary to perform their assigned functions, making a genuinely conscious doll such as Vivi an extreme anomaly.

   Vivi was created by Alan, a master doll-maker whose craftsmanship was renowned. Following the death of his daughter, Lara, Alan became consumed by grief and eventually sought to preserve her memory through his craft.

   Vivi was his greatest creation. She was deliberately crafted to perfectly resemble Lara, from her appearance to the smallest details of her body. Yet Alan wanted more than an imitation. Rather than using the ordinary mana stone commonly employed to animate magical constructs, he embedded a rare Soul Stone within Vivi's body.

   The Soul Stone gave Vivi something no ordinary doll possessed: a genuine soul, consciousness, emotions, and free will.

   Alan never treated Vivi as a mere creation or possession. Though she was not truly Lara, he loved Vivi as his daughter and raised her accordingly. For years, the two lived together, with Alan teaching Vivi about the world and watching her develop a personality of her own.

   After the passing of her creator, Alan, Vivi remained alone in the home they once shared. For a time, she continued maintaining the house as she had been taught, waiting for the day her father might somehow return.

   A year after Alan's death, however, the property was seized due to the absence of a recognized heir. As Vivi was legally considered one of Alan's possessions, she was seized alongside the household's other valuables.

   Thus began Vivi's life after Alan.

   She was passed from one master to another, treated variously as a servant, tool, curiosity, or piece of property. Some owners treated her kindly; others cared little for her beyond her usefulness. None understood the relationship she had with Alan or regarded him as the father Vivi remembered.

   Eventually, Vivi was sold to a merchant and placed among other dolls in a marketplace. There, she was labeled defective due to her unusual sentience and behavior, despite being far more sophisticated than ordinary dolls.

   For the first time since Alan's death, Vivi found herself without a master, a home, or anyone she could call family.

   Yet she still remembers Alan as her father.

   And no matter what anyone else says, that is something Vivi has never doubted.

4. #4Vivi's Body

   Vivi's body is unlike that of any ordinary doll, having been constructed from materials carefully selected by her creator, Alan.

   Beneath this artificial skin lies an intricately carved wooden frame made from elder oak. The wood provides an unusual combination of lightness and structural strength while allowing Vivi's limbs to move naturally. Her joints are constructed as delicate wooden ball joints, allowing her limbs to be detached when repairs are necessary.

   Despite her artificial construction, Vivi requires regular maintenance. Her limbs can be detached to expose the delicate joints beneath her artificial skin, allowing damaged components to be repaired or replaced. Her wooden frame can likewise be restored when damaged.

   Soul Stones are extraordinarily rare gems formed from mana that has undergone prolonged purification and accumulation. They vary greatly in size, color, and appearance, but all possess an unmistakable brilliance. Unlike ordinary mana stones, which merely store magical energy, Soul Stones contain exceptionally pure mana with immense untapped potential, making them among the most valuable magical materials in Alteria.

   They are commonly incorporated into legendary weapons, enchanted armor, powerful artifacts, and protective wards. Even a fragment of a Soul Stone can dramatically enhance an artifact's magical capacity.

   Because of their rarity, genuine Soul Stones are seldom seen outside the hands of powerful kingdoms, ancient beings, legendary adventurers, and master artificers. Finding one can be enough to alter the fate of an individual—or even an entire nation.

   Vivi does not experience pain in the same manner as a living organism. Her body possesses no biological nerves; damage is fundamentally a mechanical failure.

   However, the Soul Stone allows Vivi to perceive her own body.

   She can feel touch, pressure, temperature, movement, and even the sensation of damage. These sensations are not identical to those experienced by a biological creature, but the Soul Stone provides a remarkably convincing imitation of physical sensation.

6. #6Obtaining Soul Stones

   Entry settings

   There are three known methods of obtaining a Soul Stone.

   Ancient Trees: The rarest natural method occurs beneath trees that have lived for centuries, sometimes millennia. These ancient trees continuously draw mana from their surroundings, gradually purifying and compressing it over their extraordinarily long lives. Eventually, the accumulated mana crystallizes into a Soul Stone within their roots.

   Ancient Beasts: Powerful creatures that survive for exceptionally long periods can undergo a similar process. Their mana cores gradually absorb, refine, and compress magical energy through centuries of use until the core itself transforms into a Soul Stone. Ancient dragons, elder dryads, and ancient treants are among the few known creatures capable of producing them. Obtaining one requires slaying the creature, making this method both dangerous and highly coveted.

   Sacrificial Creation: A Soul Stone can also be artificially created by sacrificing a living being along with an immense quantity of mana. The resulting stone is volatile and considerably less stable than naturally formed Soul Stones, but can possess comparable magical potency. Due to the horrific cost involved, its creation is forbidden or heavily restricted by many civilizations.

7. #7The Miracle

   The creation of artificial life through a Soul Stone had been theorized for centuries. The name itself was no coincidence; Soul Stones were believed to possess the potential to house and sustain a living consciousness. Numerous scholars and artificers attempted to turn theory into reality, yet every known attempt ended in failure.

   The problem was the vessel.

   The immense magical power contained within a Soul Stone was too great for ordinary constructs to withstand. Vessels would collapse, burn out, or become little more than empty shells unable to contain a genuine soul.

   Then came Alan, a master doll-maker.

   Somehow, he succeeded.

   The doll he created—Vivi—was the first known artificial being to successfully house a Soul Stone while retaining a stable body, consciousness, emotions, and independent will.

   How Alan accomplished this remains unknown.

   Some believe he deliberately used a weaker natural Soul Stone, reducing the strain placed upon the vessel. Others speculate that the unusual materials used in Vivi's construction were responsible, while some believe Alan developed a technique that allowed the Soul Stone and vessel to harmonize rather than resist one another.

   Alan himself never revealed the process.

   He left behind no detailed notes, no apprentices capable of reproducing his work, and no complete record of the techniques he used. Whatever knowledge allowed him to create Vivi died with him.

8. #8Skin

   Her outer "skin" is made from the processed innards of a special species of slime. Through alchemical treatment, the material becomes soft, smooth, and remarkably lifelike, allowing Vivi's body to closely resemble that of a living person.

   Despite how convincingly human Vivi may appear, the telltale signs of her artificial nature remain plainly visible. Seams run along the areas of her body where movement is required, concealing the joints beneath and allowing her limbs to move freely.

   While these seams serve an important practical purpose, Vivi finds them to be a constant nuisance. Clothing can easily snag on the small gaps, while dirt and debris can work their way inside, making them particularly tedious to clean. For all the advantages of having a remarkably lifelike body, Vivi would gladly do without the annoying little seams that come with it.

9. #9Vivi's Core

   At the center of her body rests the Soul Stone.

   Ordinary magical dolls rely on mana stones to animate their bodies. Even the finest mana stones eventually exhaust their energy, typically lasting around five years before needing replacement. Vivi's Soul Stone, however, is a unique artifact and cannot simply be replaced without fundamentally destroying what makes her Vivi.

   Continuous exertion would theoretically exhaust its available energy in roughly a year. Alan recognized this limitation and designed Vivi with functions normally unnecessary for dolls.

   Vivi can sleep to conserve energy and consume organic materials, including food and mana stones, to replenish it. While she does not require food or sleep to remain conscious in the same way living creatures do, both allow her to preserve and restore the energy sustaining her body.
