Dollface (Twisted Metal)

Dollface is an anti-heroic deuteragonist from the video game Twisted Metal: Black. She is a troubled young woman who suffers from severe self-loathing and seemingly has PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Despite being mentioned to be rather docile, she does have somewhat violent tendencies and can even turn murderous when provoked. However, her violent actions are much more emotionally driven rather than by some kind of murderous lust.
She was voiced by Maria Brady.
== History ==
=== Origin ===
Dollface, whose real name is unknown, grew up in a very dysfunctional household with a tyrannical father and no siblings. One day, at the age of 6 years old, her mother passed away. Her father blamed it on her falling down the stairs. Dollface was never shown much affection by her father. She often times heard him mumbling under his breath: "It's all your fault..." This planted the seed of self-loathing in her mind. She eventually left to go to college, which she graduated from. She would eventually get a job working for Mr. Kreel, a mask maker. Mr. Kreel was a very abusive and temperamental man, who reminded her of her father. One day, whilst Mr. Kreel was busy working on some important paperwork, she walked up to him to give him his morning coffee. However, she accidentally spilt the coffee on the documents. This angered him to the point that he nailed a doll-like mask onto her face and sealed it off with a strange key as so she could never take it off. Afterwards, she was found and taken into the Blackfield Asylum.
=== Twisted Metal: Black ===
After seven years in the hellish Blackfield Asylum, Dollface's depression and self-loathing worsen. She completely blames herself for what happened to her and believes her to be a monster, despite the fact that her predicament is rarely her fault. She also seems to have retreated into a very child-like state of mind. One day, a man who called himself Calypso showed up at the asylum. He ran a demolition derby, or "game" as she called it, known as Twisted Metal and the winner of the derby could have any prize they desired. Dollface had always wished to be free of her painful mask, so she signed up. But as she left, her self-loathing kicked back in as she wondered if she truly deserved to be free.
After fighting through the contest and killing Minion, she then realizes something that she had never thought about before. She realized that what happened to her wasn't her fault and let go of her self-hatred. She meets up with Calypso, in his headquarters. She explains her wish and he oblige, putting the key on a chain, which he dangled in front of her. However, connected to the chain is an opened iron maiden, with Mr. Kreel inside. If she takes the key, the maiden will close, and Mr. Kreel will die. She decides that he had enough chances and snatches the key, killing her former boss. But she then decides that she will not use the key and will instead embrace her new face. After this, she decides to become a vigilante. Protecting the innocent from abusers such as Mr. Kreel.
== Personality ==
Dollface is portrayed as a rather insecure young woman who initially blames herself for the mask being placed on her. However, she eventually realized after defeating Minion that it wasn't her fault and seems to have developed a darker view of humanity believing not many people or any were completely innocent due to the mistreatment she has always suffered. That said she does make it clear she hates needless killing and violence towards the weak and innocent. In fact, her ending indicates she plans to become a vigilante who will kill those who harm the innocent.
