Doey

_+Maybe again someday_+

Doey is a plump dough creature, made up of a multi-colored clay-like substance. His head and most of his torso are light blue, with a simple face on a relatively thin neck, and he wears a blue bowler hat. His arms are long and increase in thickness down to his forearms, with his left being orange and his right being yellow. Meanwhile, his legs are stubby, red nubs. He lacks facial features besides a line for a mouth and holes in his head representing eyes. Perhaps Doey's most unique feature is that the yellow, orange, and red colored dough on his belly form the pattern of three bendy arms reaching toward the center of his stomach. When he is consumed with rage, sharp, red teeth can be seen lining his wide mouth and are more apparent before his transformation. His appearance in his more hostile form is drastically different from his normal appearance. Doey's hostile appearance, while still keeping the same color scheme as his regular counterpart, now resembles a crocodile to an extent. Six human-like arms emerge from his torso while his back section lags behind. Several smaller, seemingly insect-like legs emerge from said back section. His head has been morphed into a tooth-rimmed appendage similar in appearance to a leech or the mouth of a sturgeon, with three gray-colored humanoid forms with red eyes emerging from the now cavernous mouth, representing his component children. In this form, he sports a red-colored tail. His tail has two splits and three points. Two points are the same, with the middle being longer and larger than the other two. His tail also maintains four little human arms, along with hands and a bit of blood on the base of his body. Personality Doey presents a friendly and rather playful demeanor but also knows how to act serious when he deems it necessary and, alongside Poppy, acts as the leader of the Safe Haven group. As the beacon of hope for the survivors, Doey puts on a brave face and willingly offers help to those in need, so long that they prove themselves to not be a threat to his and his friends' safety. Doey and Poppy Playtime have conflicting perspectives when it comes to deciding the fate of the factory and its toy inhabitants inside. While Poppy is eager to destroy everything and bury the foul history in the past, Doey is much more considerate of the lives of his fellow experiments, pointing out the humanity the toys once had, and possibly still have, in them. It is evident that he cares a great deal for his friends within the Safe Haven, as he himself made the personal decision to stay in the factory after finding an exit and realizing just how much the toys looked up to him for their survival and guidance after Poppy abandoned them. Even so, their deaths at the hands of the Prototype (amongst other factors, including the personal trauma, insecurity, and responsibility of being a leader) drove him into a frenzied rage. As revealed in Chapter 4, Doey is a mixture of three different children (Playtime Co. wanted him to have seemingly multiple purposes, likely as his shape-shifting abilities would allow him to do so); Kevin Barnes, Jack Ayers, and Matthew Hallard. The three children, with their different personalities, abilities, and history each contribute a piece of themselves inside Doey, fragments of their personality reflected in Doey's actions and reaction to things around him: Matthew's personality shines the most amongst the three: being the oldest (15 years old at experimentation), he was described as a "dream child", being kind-hearted and considerate of others, to the point that younger children of Playcare saw him as a role model. In Doey, he shines when he has to guide survivors inside the Safe Haven as their leader. Although put in a stressful situation himself, he always presents himself as strong and reliable in giving hope to the survivors, becoming their moral support as well; however, he also possessed many insecurities due to trauma from an accident that killed his family. Kevin was a child with behavioral issues who acted aggressively, one who could turn on even his friends when in a fit of rage or intense emotion, making him deemed a "problem child". While Doey mostly keeps himself level-headed, being put in more pressing situations will cause his temper to rise concerningly high. When Poppy admitted having unintentionally led the Prototype to their lair, Doey can be briefly seen almost lashing out at her before swiftly cooling himself down. The worst of his rage shows when he returned to the Safe Haven with many of the refugees killed, the immense guilt and frustrations coming to a boil, causing Kevin to take over and lash out at The Player, Poppy, and everything else that caused the tragedy. This anger morphed him into a disfigured monster with more animalistic characteristics and behavior, losing all of his sanity and his humanity entirely. In this state of unquelled rage, he lashes out towards everything, even to his allies, just as Kevin had.
