12 Living Doll

Over many years, Tiffany had attempted to aid her brothers and sisters as they were sold off to different parts of the country by her current parents.

If it had not been for her aid then it was very likely that many of them would have had a very difficult time to the point that some of them may have died several times.

Her range to be able to offer help was limited to spying on others and providing information when needed but it was enough to help her siblings to get settled in their new environments and to climb up to a more powerful position if one was available.

Unfortunately there were times where some people were sold off and did not receive her help due to them not having a teddy or doll with them after they did not listen to her warnings or had lost it along the way.

The most unfortunate who had still received her aid had been difficult to save for Tiffany so she could only watch as they were brought closer to death and suffered.

Through her siblings, Tiffany was able to experience all kinds of lifestyles and experiences that should normally be exposed to a young child but she had adapted to all if it very quickly.

Through the eyes of the toys that had been bought or won through the carnival that was still travelling around the country, Tiffany was able to watch the lives of all kinds of people and had started to gain a large amount of information about their home lives.

She was lucky enough to be able to see into the daily lives at home of just about anyone that had taken one of the things back home from the carnival so Tiffany could even see into the lives of just about anyone including heroes if she was lucky enough to have one in their home.

Other teddies, dolls or toys that had been placed in other locations had helped her to experience other kinds of opportunities like being able to sit on a shelf or windowsill to watch an ongoing lesson inside a nursery or school.

Tiffany may not have become all that much stronger as she aged but she had gained a lot of outside influence and power in the form of information.

She had yet to turn ten years old but her influence had already spread quite well with her siblings and dolls acting as her hand and feet or eyes and ears.

There was nobody out there to notice what she was doing or those that could put a stop to what she was doing even if they did pick up on what was happening due to them not knowing where the main body was.

There was a severe lack of parenting and contact made between parents and child during her growth so it had caused her to be even less restrained in her actions as she was exposed to many things that she should not have seen or be involved in.

The only way to get her back on a right path was for those around her to try to help her in their own way or to call for an expert that could correct her behaviour but her adoptive parents would still be unwilling to pay for such treatments.

There did exist behaviour correction specialists who existed for the sole purposes of fixing such problems that were brought on by having a strong Quirk that came with personality quirks that could be problematic but Tiffany would never be able to gain access to one.

Her personality quirk was that she was silent like a doll most of the time so it was difficult to get her to talk in front of larger groups or that she was like a background character that stood back and watched the world around her so she had adapted quickly into the other bodies of the toys to just sit and watch many things in the background patiently.

Her experiences and upbringing had further helped to make her fit in a lot less if she was put into a classroom full of children her own age or grew up to enter society.

If it was another person who had her Quirk without being influenced by it then it would be very doubtful if they could have the patience to do all that she had done without going completely insane or being discovered for the use of the Living Doll Quirk.

Meanwhile in another part of the country was where there was a figure that had been keeping watch over a house.

A man had left the house and drove away in a car so once he had left the scene, the figure walked out revealing someone in a long coat with a large hat covering most of their appearance.

They looked similar to a private detective or someone involved in some kind of paparazzi line of work if someone had seen how they were dressed or moved.

The figure walked slowly towards the door and knocked on it, the door was opened revealing a woman that looked to be in her forties with curly dark hair and was dressed in a smart business suit. "Madam Brown correct?"

The woman knit her brows and waved her hand. "Whatever you have come for.. it is rude to appear at someones house like this. Leave."

The strong and rough male voice came out from the figure once again. "I think that you should really consider listening to me. You will deeply regret turning me away."

He proceeded to take out a thick envelope and waved it in front of her as if he was teasing her with something juicy that could deeply affect her life. "Do you want to listen to me or do you want me to find someone else?"

The woman hesitated before going back into her home to put on her coat, she closed the door behind her and signalled him to follow. "There is a coffee shop nearby."

The tall figure followed behind and there was a slight smile that appeared on his lips. "Of course."

Once they had found a secluded place to sit and had their drinks served, the man had begun to talk. "Mrs Brown, CEO and the owner of most of the shares of Brown Toys that has several branches located in different parts of the Northeast of England. Husband.. Mr Brown.."

He went on to say many things involving information that he had on the company and family life which had shown that he had come fully prepared.

It helped to show that he was thorough in his work and could not be messed with so easily since he could easily make use of the knowledge he had to take his business elsewhere.

He continued. "The contents of this package are exceptionally important to your future and your business. How you deal with it will affect the outcome but I have done my research on you so I know that approaching you first will be the smarter choice."

Mrs Brown frowned. "What is it that you want?"

The man looked a little pleased and said calmly. "I want an honorary position for someone to be drawn up and a small amount of shares in your company that you will not miss."

Mrs Brown had more than fifty one percent of the company shares so she could afford to hand over a small percentage which he had already checked over so long as everything went according to plan.

An already prepared contract was slid across the table which had stated many clauses and terms involving the usefulness of the package and its contents along with how it should be used.

If the contents inside of the envelope were useless and were full of lies then his side would be willing to compensate her for the harm they would cause and so on.

If she had failed to use the information or chose to destroy it then the contract would still be legally binding.

To add further pressure to her, he continued. "I have copies backed up and many friends so do not think about destroying anything and thinking this can just disappear."
