Name: Chamyle Weiss.

Age: Depends on how you measure it. She was first constructed and enchanted 180 years ago, but can only be said to have had a meaningful identity for the last 22.

Sex: Female.

Species: Cursed Doll.

Powers:
-Is an animated doll: Probably pretty obvious, but being able to walk and talk is kind of a power in itself for a doll. She also doesn't breathe, get sick or bleed, and isn't affected by things like poison, although she does occasionally eat and sleep in order to sustain the power of her enchantments. She can remain unnaturally silent and still to appear entirely inanimate.

-Poltergeist skill set: Chamyle is telekinetic and electrokinetic, though she only has fine control over the first one, and neither power is very strong. So she can wash dishes or sew a dress (or both at once for that matter) by making the objects fly through the air, but can't lift a house. Similarly, she can pop a lightbulb or scramble a TV screen, but she couldn't make that same screen show a picture of herself. Unlike some poltergeists, she can't possess people or objects and can't make scary sounds, though of course she could just rattle some furniture if she needed to make noise.

-Awareness-Sensitive Teleportation: Chamyle can teleport herself a short distance at will - about 50 feet at a time - but can't do so while she's being watched or if she would arrive somewhere she would be seen. She thus has an intuitive sense of when she's being watched, even if she isn't otherwise aware of the watcher. Cameras count for purposes of "watching," although she can scramble them with her power above.

-Magical Disguise: Chamyle can change her appearance to a certain extent, though it's mostly cosmetic and not enough to change her diminutive size. It's enough to give her a somewhat human cast to her features rather than looking like an ancient statue with a painted-on face, at least. Her magical "intellect" is also separate from her body, making her invisible to mind-reading (or mind-controlling) attempts by others, and she doesn't register as a magical object. With the enchantment safely separate from her physical body, she can also feign destruction in the face of an attack, then teleport her pieces away later and reform herself. She could theoretically be finished off by certain magical rituals or total physical obliteration, but hopefully nobody in Belcoast would do that to her.

Appearance: Considering that she's only a foot tall, it's hard to mistake Chamyle for much apart from a doll, unless the residents of Belcoast take her for an especially small goblin or large fairy. That said, while Chamyle has the flawless, pale skin and long, glossy black hair of a doll, she doesn't look as lifeless as one would expect. Slowly working on herself with her shapeshifting talent has given her mostly-lifelike features and the proportions of a willowy young human woman, with no doll joints or easily-cracked porcelain shell. Her too-large, glassy hazel eyes are still a giveaway, though. Her features are hard to pin to a specific country of origin, and suggest perhaps she would have a mix of Chinese and Western European ancestry if she had any ancestry in the first place.

She sometimes likes to dress up in Victorian fashion, considering she was "born" in that era and at least vaguely remembers it, but usually wears casual clothing such as T-shirts and jeans.

Face Claim: Kina Shen.

Personality: Chamyle is curious about the world and the people in it, but tempers that curiosity with an instinctive caution about being found out. Her personality can thus come off as flat and guarded if she's wary of a person, giving way to friendly if sometimes awkward efforts at socializing if someone or something piques her curiosity. She also sometimes shows signs of a sense of humor that can range from dry and acerbic to goofy and pun-oriented, depending on her mood, though she usually only shows the latter around people she trusts. Her long social isolation has inwardly left her fairly shy, but she's trying not to make that obvious or let it slow her down now that she can interact with people on her own terms.

History: Chamyle is originally the product of a vicious but petty rivalry between several secretive German wizards. Her original creator, feeling gravely insulted by another wizard, set about to create a cursed object and present it to that wizard as a feigned peace offering. With porcelain dolls just coming into vogue in Germany during this period, the wizard found a set of cursed porcelain dishware from Daoguang-era China and alchemically reshaped it into a doll, imbued it with an instinctively but stealthily destructive personality, and presented it to the second wizard.

The second wizard was soon harried by unexplained incidents, and while he immediately suspected their origin, it was difficult to prove due to the magical cloak the first wizard had built into it. Unable to destroy the doll permanently, he eventually opted instead to send it to a different rival of his, this one a necromancer, and let her deal with the curse. The necromancer, in turn, took a different approach: she amplified Chamyle's rudimentary intelligence and dampened her destructive instincts, rendering her something closer to a passive servitor, and trained the doll in corpse handling to spare herself the busywork.

Eventually the necromancer died of natural causes, and since she'd neglected to set up lichdom or the like for herself, her possessions were sold off at estate. Chamyle simply shut down without any instructions, and eventually it was realized that she was one of Germany's first china dolls and she was stuck in a museum. Years of passively people-watching and listening to people converse around her display eventually led to her developing her first real sense of identity, and over the course of still more years, she honed her troublemaking magic enough to disrupt the museum's security cameras and make her escape. She also "borrowed" some money on the way out, figuring she was entitled to it after years of unpaid modeling, so to speak. She'd heard about Belcoast in a chance conversation after hours, and swiftly made her way there.

Profession: Chamyle is new to Belcoast and doesn't have much in the way of an established profession yet, but she's rented a small storefront to handle clothing repair and alterations. She's extremely talented with a needle and thread. Also with processing corpses, but since it's not practical for her to go to school to become a mortician or what have you, she's going the clothing route.

Hobbies: Learning about the world, whether through reading, watching TV, or tourism. Studying fashion. Making clothes. Repairing old, broken things, and collecting those things for herself if nobody else wants them. Scaring people still gives her an instinctive thrill, but she no longer does it without people at least implicitly agreeing to it, so she's really looking forward to her first Halloween as an individual.

Sexual Orientation: Homosexual. It might seem odd for a doll to be attracted to humans at all, but it's not as if Chamyle comes from an alien race of doll people. She has an essentially human intellect and the foibles that go with it. That said, she recognizes that she herself is quite alien from human(oid) perspectives, and doesn't expect that interest to be reciprocated.
