Living Doll

(Dual Blades\Regen Scrapper)

*****

"You've heard of elf on a shelf?" Amelia asked from her perch on the low wall that separated the stairs from Jonas' small attic library.

 

"Yes" Jonas replied as he pored over the crackling pages of an antique book.

 

"Well this is doll on a wall mate." Amelia replied in a self deprecating tone. The cursed mask on her face was made of smooth, bone white porcelain graced with gold filigree on the cheeks and forehead. The rest of her body was much the same. Smooth, white porcelain clad scantily in gold.

 

"You're frightened, aren't you?" Jonas asked. Looking up from his book with genuine concern.

 

"What makes you think that?" The sarcasm in her voice dulled by her static features.

 

"You always resort to humor when you're scared or nervous."

 

"I tell jokes." Amelia countered defensively.

 

"Yes but not good ones." Jonas said with a gentle smile, hoping to lighten the mood but failing miserably.

 

Amelia jumped to her feet, slamming a fist on the wall in frustration and shattering the heel of her hand and pinky in the process. She lifted the remains of her hand to her face to consider the damage. As she watched on the broken pieces, surrounded in an aura of soft gold light, followed through the air then quickly fit back into place to make her hand whole again with only thin surface cracks to mark the injury. Those too would fade in time.

 

"I have good reason to be frightened." she said in a sullen tone, drooping her head glumly.

 

"We will find a way to get that mask off Amelia."

Bio

Amelia Sparrow was born and grew up in the village of Cottenham outside the city of Cambridge. Her favorite places growing up were the museums where she could spend hours exploring the antiquities and learning about their history. Her keen interest led her to get a doctorate in Archaeology from Cambridge University. After university Dr. Sparrow worked for many happy years at The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology> From there she had a brief stint at the British Museum before being offered what she considered to be the opportunity of a lifetime, to curate the private collection of Jonas Blackbeard, the fabled Blackbeard's treasure. 

 

The collection was vast and full of unrecorded oddities beyond mere gold and jewels. One of these oddities was a delicate porcelain mask inlaid with gold and a single onyx gemstone set in the forehead. She decided to try the mask on but when she placed it on her face she felt a shock throughout her whole body and was transformed into a being of living porcelain. In a panic she attempted to remove the mask but it would not come off. Her new form grants her certain abilities with which Amelia will often assist Jonas in his adventures but she also continues to work as curator of the Blackbeard treasure, partly in the hope that she will find something that will allow her to remove the mask.

 

Powers

Blades - Living Doll has the ability to transform her hands and forearms into heavy porcelain blades which are extremely tough and sharp. Over time, and with Jonas' help, she has learned to wield them effectively in battle.

 

Regeneration - Living Doll's porcelain body has the ability to self-repair almost immediately. When damaged the porcelain will shatter revealing that she is hollow and filled  with some form of golden energy. This energy surrounds the broken pieces and pulls them back together making Living Doll nearly impervious to any long term harm. The only part of her body that is completely invulnerable is the mask and she has speculated that she could suffer major damage such as shattering her entire body and still survive. She has no desire to test that theory because she does experience the pain of her injuries however brief. Living Doll does not need to eat, sleep or even breathe. She has various theories on how she is still able to speak which she would happily discuss with anyone that is willing to spend a few sleepless nights in conversation. Temperature extremes do not appear to affect her unless they cause actual damage and she believes that in her current form she is effectively immortal.
