Homebrew Doll Species Details
Porcelain dolls are mysterious beings. Their existence mightn't even be intentional, with most dolls having the basic principals of life either shoved down their throats or taught to them in a loving nature. When they're finally let free into the world, they seem to go into hiding. Nothing has been documented about their history or culture, leading various scholars to assume their direct origins are more menacing than they appear to be. However, the dolls themselves are just as oblivious to this as everyone else. The craftsmanship put into their appearance implies an expensive, superior origin; perhaps as a gift for a regal heir?
There are only two known ways where their conscious existence can begin. The first is being enchanted through an alchemist to fulfil orders and biddings of a higher power, for good or evil. Many dolls created this way tend to develop bitter feelings against the world they were brought into, longing for a sense of freedom, and feebly rebel or escape against their master's will. The other more common way is through an intense emotional bond with a child it is gifted to. Through this process, the repurposed toy will venture down through one of two paths. If of a good or neutral alignment, they will outgrow the child and be cast away, outed into a whole new world for them to explore. On the other hand, if they lean towards a more evil alignment, they are likely to cause havoc in the child's life and will be hastily driven into the outside world, thirsting for more chaos.

Age
Dolls are "conceived" when bestowed sentience. They're eternal beings; the only way for them to die if their head and/or torso is shattered, or if they fail all death saves. The strings inside their body are essential to their being; the life source of these dolls are in some way related to them. If these strings are severed, they will die. Dolls do not die of old age.
