For the sake of explanation we'll be using Matthew Williams as an example Doll in different scenarios and settings. These scenarios will be simple layouts of different actions and day to day activities that a Doll might go through.

Scenario 1: A Citizen turned into a Doll.

Let's say that Matthew is a Citizen of a small family. He is the only child of the family, which is quite rare. But since a Collector is his 2nd uncle (for a family to be a considered a Citizen family, you cannot have any relatives of higher class in your first ring of family. i.e. cousins, uncles, grandparents. Only 2nd cousins, uncles, grandparents and beyond are considered to be "outside the familiar zone) his parents do not have to worry too much about status.

So Matthew might be out shopping or working in the family store when a Collector comes up to him. This Collector has taken a fancy to Matthew's appearance and wishes for him to be changed into a Doll. This can lead to many different results.

1.) Matthew could decline the offer (which isn't unusual if a Citizen is raised without the need to become one).

If he does decline, the Collector will most likely go after him, begging, bribing, and pleading to become a Doll. Eventually, after Matthew continues to decline, the Collector will start to bribe the parents, paying them off for their child. Many times a parent will sell their child, knowing the child will be safe and taken care of.

2.) Matthew could accept the offer right away (this is common for lower class families or for families that do not get along).

With this option Matthew will return to his family only one time to pack and to say goodbye. In most cases of this type of acceptance, Matthew will not give any money, or any status towards them after his departure. He will completely remove his identity from his parent's vision to his Collector's. Most cases he will become a submissive soul, doing anything to please the Collector as long as he doesn't have to go back to his poisonous family.

3.) Matthew could do legal acceptance (Legal acceptance are for those from either a middle class family, or a family with good relations and ties)

By having a legal acceptance, Matthew is under contract to be changed into a Doll at a later time. It could be a low as a month or as long a multiple years. These contracts cannot be broke and are usually the most common form of Citizen to Doll transfer.

During the time Matthew is waiting to become a Doll, money will be sent to the Citizen's family. After the procedures finished, money will be cut off. Doll's will be allowed to visit and see their family if they wish. In some cases the Doll can send money to their family if the Collector accepts.

Scenario 2: A Doll born in a Collector's family

Now let's say that Matthew is a child of a Doll. It doesn't matter if the parent is a Doll and Collector or two Dolls. Either way Matthew is born in higher status that does not have a Maker in it.

Matthew will be raised with either Collector practice (this will be explained in further chapters) or Doll Etiquette.

Doll Etiquette involves many things. Young children being raised with Doll Etiquette are taught small examples, such as which fork to eat a salad with, which fashion is proper for a Doll, and will start teaching a trade of art to the child.

As the child grows older simple etiquette becomes more serious and is taught through life lessons constantly. Books have been written and many scriptures describe manners that date back to the 1800s. A stricter disciplinary Collector may make the Doll-to-be read such books.

An excerpt of one book details the proper naming of a Collector and Doll during social events. This excerpt is used by very old-fashioned Collectors, and in some places, considered demeaning:

"A lady or man should not say 'my Collector,' except among intimates; in every other case he or she should address him or her by his or her name, calling him 'Mr.' and her 'Ms.' It is equally proper, except on occasions of ceremony, and while he or she is quite young, to designate him or her by his or her given name.

Never use the initial of a Collector's name to designate him or her; as 'Mr. P.,' 'Ms. L.,' etc. Nothing is so odious as to hear a Doll speak of his or her Creator, or, indeed, anyone else, as 'Mr. B.'

How a Doll should be spoken of by its Collector. - It is equally improper for a Collector to say "my Doll,' except among very intimate friends; he or she should mention the Doll as 'Ms. or Mr. So-and-so.' When in private, the expression 'my dear,' or merely the given name, is considered in accordance with the best usage among the more refined".

This however is a very old method of addressing one another and has now been updated to modern times.

Along with etiquette, Dolls-to-be will be raised with the arts. All Dolls have a specific art they have mastered. Some it is an instrument, others with paint, and most commonly Dolls are given a talent of dance and song. With this talent, Dolls can entertain guests at parties held by their Collector.

With Matthew being born within the house of a Collector (no matter if the Collector is a parent or not) he will be taught the same rules his Doll parent(s) follows, this way he will most likely become a Doll for a close family member of the Collector, or stay with said Collector.

A very simple list of things a Doll may do throughout the course of a day in no particular order:

1.) Cook

2.) Go shopping (mostly for fashionable items, but will pick up things if the Collector asks)

3.) Entertain guests/ attend parties

4.) Work jobs for Collectors or at a Doll House

5.) Stand there and look pretty

6.) Have sex with their Collector

7.) Go out to restaurants or bars with other Dolls

8.) Go to clubs specifically for Dolls

9.) Be a supportive friend to Collector and Dolls alike

10.) Bathe with elaborate soaps and scents and threaten to never come out

11.) Beauty sleep

12.) A checkup with the Doll's Maker

13.) Practice artistic trade

14.) Go to spa/salon

15.) Spend quality time with Collector
