I am a doll. Please, feel free to ask me anything.

[Killed a vampire, used to have a super cool proto-Persona, has super edgy scars on his face, hates his life, his friends are dead, PICK YOUR POISON.]

I am a knight from Medieval Britain, and nothing more. I have, however, traveled through space and time in a sense to fulfill a contract similar to this one, so you may ask about that. Or anything.

What is Britain, and what was it like to be a knight there?

Britain was...

[Deep breath.]

Well, at the time I was alive, it was the frontier of civilization. The Roman Empire had long since retreated from it, leaving a legacy of education and philosophy intermixed with the faith and magic of the actual Britons. It also left a legacy of war as hundreds of petty kings and princes fought to divide the Isles between themselves in the centuries-long power vacuum. It was a land both old and new, where anything could - and frequently did - happen, full of wonder, beauty, darkness, and cruelty all at once.

As for being a knight there...it was...mostly hypocritical. Knights were taught to be honorable and noble, and then sent into pointless conflict with the next kingdom. Trained to protect our king's subjects while robbing and slaughtering the other king's. Some, many even, sought to rose above this cycle of warfare and unite the land into peaceful cooperation, but it was a constant struggle...one that I'm not sure ever ended.

Perhaps what your kingdom needed, then, was a queen to unite the people, and rule over than all.

[ As soon as those words escape her, the Doll blinks in confusion. Why had she said that?

Something about Cainhearst queen... She has heard tales of such a woman from the hunters. Yes, that must have been what she was thinking of.]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

A queen?

[She shakes her head.]

Britain wouldn't have accepted a Queen Regnant in that era - only a king. You're right in principle, though. The only way anything was going to improve was a king taking charge and unifying the land under a single just rule, of law and cooperation instead of "might makes right" and "you get what you grab".

That's a long and difficult road, though...for anyone.

Truly? How strange.

[ It isn't as though Yharnam is without its own forms of sexism, mind you. The Doll has met all kinds of hunters who have made their widely varying opinions known.

Still, it feels strange to hear of the idea being outright denied in such a way. Perhaps because tm she has never heard any stories of a place with a king anywhere. ]

It's the way of my world. Or was at the time, at any rate.

I hear that England, the successor to the Britain of my day, had at least three golden ages under queens, so perhaps it's changed now.

[Was murdered, and brought back to life as an evil flower.]

...why a flower?

I'm not really sure about the how behind it, but the last thing I remember was collapsing in dad's flower garden. When I woke up, I was a flower. I was... soulless. I couldn't feel any love or compassion for others. Even my own family.

It was a pretty scary experience. [Asriel smiles, but it's a little sad.] I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

That's...that's not something that should happen to anyone, let alone a child.

[She's seen people kill their own love and compassion, but to have it taken away?]

[It really shouldn't happen to anyone, he agrees 100%. But it was his fault he got stuck like that, although considering the alternative was attacking innocent humans...

Well, he can't complain too much that plan didn't succeed.]

I-it turned out all right in the end! I met a really nice human, one who saved me before I... well, made some really bad decisions as a flower. If it weren't for him, I would've never regained "myself" back at all.

And well... I'm here now, and I'm still me. So I'm pretty grateful to Kyubey too. It took a while, but it all really worked out.

You're blessed to have found someone like that. I'm very glad to hear it.

Been a cult leader, a financial planner for a business, a servant to an extraterrestrial warlord, time traveled, been pulled to several worlds like this before. I'm an AI clone, died six times, survived a nuclear wasteland for three days, been a dragon, been a stupid rock with super powers.

Or ask whatever. I pretty much know everything.

[ Italian playboy and also master of martial arts. Will bring honour to us all, or at least his family. EXTREME sitting poses.gif because why not. Risked his life to retrieve a ~~wedding~~ ring to save his best friend's. Currently hates what's left of his life. ]

[ an idol. still underage, somehow the best at his trade, with perfect pitch, rhythm and a stylish aura to match his title as ice prince. problem is that he's a lot more emotionally pained than he lets up, and his wish effectively got him cockblocked by himself.

a+ life choices. ]

...why did you stop the hooded girl from destroying me?

Only a fool would turn on potential allies without thinking first.

[ That, and he thought you might have had some useful information. Whoops. ]

[Is pretty much sealed evil in a can. Also, was murdered by her adoptive father, and still almost ended up killing the world in death, but that much was not her fault.]

[ a cute little innocent girl! Also happens to be a Darkhunter that kills monsters for a living, keeping the world safe for loads and loads and loads of money.

Tee hee. ]

What's the strongest monster you've defeated?

The strongest... hmmm. The ones I've defeated have all been so weak, it's hard to really say! I was only recently brought into a place with a lot of strong ones, but I haven't gotten the chance to take any out yet.

Trains are overpowered.

[Sage nodding.]

I can do this! [Handstand! Whoa!!]

[Niece of Jackie Chan, used to hunt magic artifacts and demons and has a tendency to befriend reformed/ing criminals.]

[Is an undead servant of a distant deity of preservation, tasked with helping him reset time back to the Big Bang. Is in this position because of love.]

When you slept... What did you dream of?

All sorts of things really. Sometimes it would be parties I had in mind in the future, my family or my fairy tale future. Well, at least what it was before coming here.

Though I used to have a power where when I did sleep, I could hear everything going on around me. That does help when you need to know what's going on there and then. I don't wanna miss a beat at all.
