The Doll

The Doll is found outside the Workshop, in the Hunter's Dream, as an inanimate porcelain doll. She later comes to life and serves as the Hunter's means of leveling up. She is a key character in the game's plot. The Doll was tenderly made by Gehrman as a means to keep him company and to also serve the many hunters that would come to the Hunter's Dream. The Doll is based on a student which Gehrman held affections to, Lady Maria. After Maria's disappearance, Gehrman sought to obsessively replicate her in the form of the Doll. The Doll herself has exactly the same size and appearance as Maria, as well as the same voice. However, Gehrman soon became indifferent towards the Doll's presence, possibly due to the latter lacking Maria's personality.
