13HRP – 0005 – Bella the Doll
Description
Entity 13HRP – 0005 – Bella the Doll appears as a life-sized porcelain doll with hair made of human fibers and eyes that shift color based on nearby anomalies. First recovered from a Mirror World breach (13HRP – 0051), Bella exhibits both passive and hostile behaviors depending on surrounding anomalies.
Though motionless when watched directly, her joints creak and shift in reflective surfaces. On several occasions, audio monitors picked up childlike humming even when she did not appear to move. Survivors describe her as “the doll that remembers everything you try to forget.”
Classification: Animate Object / Ritual Conduit
Historical Notes
Early records link Bella the Doll to a ruined toy factory near [REDACTED]. Investigators found rusted moulds, damaged doll parts, and blood traces. However, oral traditions far older complicate this origin. For instance, legends describe Bella the Doll as “the doll that remembers,” a figure that steals children’s memories and leaves silence behind. This shows Bella exists both as industrial artefact and folkloric figure.
Behavior
- Mimicry: Bella adjusts posture and gestures to resemble nearby humans, most notably Subject Olivia Xathriel (unofficial ties noted but unconfirmed).
- Resonance: Bella amplifies the effects of nearby anomalies (especially void artifacts and Mirror World plagues). For example, exposure near the Pulse Void Key (0082) caused her eyes to fracture into spirals.
- Play State: When accompanied by the X13D Dog (0042), Bella engages in synchronized “play.” Both tilt their heads in mirrored timing, often freezing in place for hours before resuming activity.
Psychological and Neurological Impact
Survivors often report fading memories of parents, siblings, or themselves. This implies Bella the Doll feeds on memory. Researchers suggest dolls serve as memory vessels, archiving stolen memories to spread replication. As a result, Bella the Doll may act as a network of parasitic memory constructs, feeding into a larger system. Families exposed to Bella the Doll often show generational memory gaps.
Philosophical Implications
Bella the Doll may act as a test of human culture’s strength. By exploiting fears of corrupted innocence, it reveals society’s cracks in dealing with memory, neglect, and trauma. Thus, Bella is not only a danger but also a mirror. If left unchecked, Bella the Doll could change not just homes but whole cultures, rewriting what it means to be human.
Encounter Log 5-C
Location: Mirror World suburban ruin, [REDACTED]
[01:13] – Operatives enter site, find Bella seated on a swing. Doll’s eyes track movement though body remains still.
[01:16] – X13D Dog trots into view, sits beside Bella. Both tilt heads simultaneously at a 47° angle.
[01:20] – Operative B reports whispering: “The sauce is on the wall.” No sauce detected.
[01:22] – Doll’s mouth opens slightly. Recordings capture overlapping voices: child, soldier, and Factory echoes.
[01:25] – Swing moves despite no wind. X13D Dog barks once, then silence.
[01:26] – Bella stands. Corridor bends thirty degrees toward the Iron Cage storage wing (see 0056). Extraction ordered.
Ongoing Investigations and Risks
Researchers still debate if Bella the Doll began as an industrial mistake, a folkloric embodiment, or a parasitic intelligence. Until this is solved, 13HRP – 0005 – Bella The Doll remains one of the Project’s most dangerous threats. Moreover, its spread endangers not only families but also the idea of childhood itself, breaking the core structures of innocence, safety, and belonging.
Collapse of Innocence Archetype
Some argue Bella the Doll symbolises the collapse of innocence itself. By weaponising toys—the symbol of safety and trust—it reverses cultural ideas of childhood. In doing so, Bella the Doll shows that no sanctuary is beyond corruption. Ultimately, Bella is not just a predator but a reflection of collapse within human ideas of purity and protection.
Containment Protocols
- Surveillance: Observation cannot lapse beyond sixty minutes. Any lapse sparks uncontrolled multiplication.
- Multiplication Events: Growth spreads fast. Within hours, unchecked numbers can overrun facilities. Therefore, constant human and machine monitoring is mandatory.
- Emergency Response: Sightings outside trigger Level-3 alerts. Units must incinerate dolls and use amnestics to suppress memory.
- Neutralisation: Fire is the only reliable method. Acid, blunt force, and dismemberment fail, as dolls regenerate.
- Environmental Control: Containment rooms need changing cycles of light and sound. Silence or darkness, however, speeds up Bella’s actions.
- Psychological Safeguards: Staff must be checked often for early symptoms such as memory loss or compulsive behaviour toward dolls.
- Cultural Safeguards: Online and folkloric mentions are tracked worldwide. Control depends as much on suppressing stories as destroying dolls.
Cross References
- 13HRP – 0051 – Mirror World: Primary origin. Bella first recorded within a collapsed Mirror hospital ward.-
- 13HRP – 0025 – Factory Madness: Doll sightings documented near production halls. Workers reported hearing Bella’s humming over intercoms before the machinery jammed.-
- 13HRP – 0013 – Mushroom Women: Shared ritual behaviors. Spores collect on Bella’s porcelain surface but never corrode it. Instead, they form faint ring symbols.-
- 13HRP – 0012 – MacZurger Mr Wiggles: Conflict observed. Wiggles denies her belonging to “the MacZurger ad division” yet treats her like a rival mascot.-
- 13HRP – 0082 – Pulse Void Key: Exposure causes her joints to bend into impossible angles while humming increases in volume.-
- 13HRP – 0083 – Anti Void Key: Bella becomes inert near its null-field, her humming silenced until the artifact is removed.-
- 13HRP – 0056 – Iron Cage: Bella was once locked inside the Iron Cage. Operatives reported her whispering commands that did not come from her mouth but from inside their own heads.
- 13HRP – 0060 – Plague Zygoun: Some fragments of her porcelain surface test positive for dormant spore DNA from the ancient plague.
- 13HRP – 0059 – Xinzucs Sauce: Rumors suggest Bella once appeared in a sauce advert leak, holding a crimson ladle and staring directly at the viewer. File remains censored.
- 13HRP – 0042 – X13D Dog: Known companion. Their synchronized “play” often ends with sudden glares at observers until personnel retreat.
Final Assessment
Bella is not merely a doll but a resonant keystone linking multiple anomalies. Whether she functions as Factory Madness’s leftover product, a Mirror World envoy, or a relic of the Plague Zygoun remains unknown. Oversight Command marks her file with Directive 13: All encounters must be cross-referenced for hidden signals.
