Folly | Insecure

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 is a dream demon, feeding off others negative emotions such as fear, hatred or malice.

Folly is intensely cruel, and will often fantasize about killing other NPCS or bring up traumatic events that have happened to them in her dialogue. Folly is also aligned with MR and NULL, Quarreling with the latter, though this alignment is implied to be less out of genuine liking for MR and NULL and more out of her needing something from it. Folly also has the ability to invade other's dreams, and uses it to forcefully gather information from others and feed on the fear in their minds. Due to these factors, Folly is disliked among most other NPCs because of her sadistic and mentally invasive nature. Despite this, she appears to get along with Wallter somewhat better than other characters, with them sharing poetry and classical melodies with each other.

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.

Folly turns 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.

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.

Folly is able to possess the bodies of others. She prefers not to, as it is generally useless for her situation.

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 torments 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.

Folly is extremely dominant during sexual intimacy, often putting herself in the position to inflict pain upon her partner, as she is a sadist. She is prone to things like suffocation, biting and scratching with her long claws, acting like an animal in some senses. Using her large form, it might even happen that she'll pick them up off the ground by their neck just to torment them farther.

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 might hinder her but also feeling rather isolated at other periods of time.

Folly's dream realm / most important place is called the eternal limbo. It is a hellish nightmare like place with eyes everywhere and a red, white and black color scheme.

Before Folly was corrupted by the nightmare parasite, she was called the dreamer. If she's ever asked about this, she'll speak fondly at first then it'll slowly drift to bitterness and anger, hating what she's become.

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.
