Fake Doll

The **Fake Doll** (フェイクドール), otherwise known as **The One who Judges the Tribulations** (試(し)練(れん)を裁(さば)きし者(もの)), is the judge of tribulations on the Island in the Sky.

## Appearance

The Fake Doll is designed to look like a clown, with white body colour coupled with red stripes on the face, dressed in a pierott's suit along with an overcoat and checkered hat.

## History

Installed in the Ruins of Tribulations as the judge for assessing the registered challenger's worthiness, it had after Kazuma accidentally registered as tribulation challenger drawn on his memories to generate doll copies of him and his 9 other companions he recently adventured with.

Later Kazuma, accompanied by a combination of his other companions, passed the tribulations in the other 9 rooms, so the Fake Doll greeted him in the final room that he had to enter alone. It proceeded to scare Kazuma with a fib of how it was a once a failed challenger who needs to defeat the next challenger in order to switch bodies with him, then upon Kazuma defeating it told him the truth as well as hand him his prize.

## Trivia

* It is possible the Fake Doll and the Doll Master may have come from similar roots, judging from the similarity in appearance of them as well as the dolls they create.
	+ Following with this train of thought, considering how robotic the dialogue spoken by the stone slab is as it registers the challengers in a very modern fashion, the Ruins of Tribulations as well as the whole Island in the Sky might actually have otherworldly origins.
