A scar is visible beneath her bangs. Unlike the other female Living Dolls, Barbie has sharp teeth. She wears a maid's dress reminiscent of Victorian style, with dark sleeves, a white apron, and a white skirt. Barbie often carries a small bell.

Barbie is often cruel to almost everyone. Her unpleasant personality and piercing gaze make her seem intimidating. She's very prone to violence when it comes to silencing anyone who opposes her wishes or demands. In reality, she only pretends to be strong to keep everyone in line and make Barbara seem more powerful than she is. Deep down, Barbie doubts herself, and every time she observes Emilico's behavior, she realizes that she has discarded a part of herself, a part that everyone loved.

Power and abilities Amount of soot Barbara produces the most soot of all the children, being solely responsible for 60% of Shadow House's soot exports. However, due to the enormous amount of soot she generates, she is unable to control it.

Soot energy Barbara doesn't have one. It's unknown if this is due to the amount of soot she generates. However, because of her soot explosions, she can cause detonations that could result in fatal injuries and even destroy entire structures. She cannot control these explosions.

Kate At first, she distrusted Kate and was ready to blame her for everything because of Edward's orders. Over time, her attitude toward her softened, and she gave Kate the position of team leader as a token of gratitude. She trusts Kate's judgment and hopes to be able to rely on her advice in the future.

Maria Rosa Judging by the way Barbie treats Rosemary, Barbara's opinion of her can't be very positive. And yet, Barbara hesitates at the idea of ​​her moving into Grandpa's Wing, indicating that she still wants to keep her close, however strained their relationship may be.

However, in the past, Maryrose's willingness to befriend Barbara quickly set a precedent for how their relationship would be. The shy Barbara was often encouraged and supported by Maryrose, who not only admired her but also saw her as an older sister. All of this changed with Christopher's invitation, when Maryrose suddenly distanced herself from Barbara.

Eduardo While he respects his authority as the head of the Children's Building, he disagrees with the way he handles things, even questioning why he is the head and not Christopher.

She was devastated when he was invited to her home, which triggered one of the most severe epileptic seizures she ever suffered. Even today, she holds him in high esteem and longs to grow up so she can see him again and receive his praise once more.

Over the dress, she wears a black and white belt with a triangular pattern. She also wears elbow-length white gloves and knee-high white boots with blue rose-shaped buttons on the back.

Despite her appearance and the behavior of her Living Doll Barbie, Barbara is a sweet and caring Shadow, especially with her fellow Starbearers. She is protective and deeply attached to her Living Doll, Barbie; the two are very close. Barbara is very anxious and feels a great deal of responsibility on her shoulders. She gets angry easily and often has emotional outbursts that cause her large amount of soot to become dangerous, which in turn causes her a great deal of physical pain.

Star bearers As the designated leader of the Star Bearers, Barbara has a deep and mutual respect for all of them. She considers them friends and, therefore, protects them with extreme dedication, even being willing to lie to adults to keep them safe.

Rum is a young woman with brown skin, short, curly, dark hair, and dark gray eyes with downturned corners. She wears a Victorian-style maid's dress with dark sleeves, a white apron, and a white skirt. She wears two blue ribbons in her hair and one around the index finger of her left hand.

Before entering the House, she wore a white dress, white socks and black shoes, as well as two hairpins.

Rum is a very shy and lonely girl. Not only does she not give her master a goodnight kiss, but she also gave herself a name. She is very insecure and has a habit of talking to her finger to calm herself. Before, she was surprisingly playful.

relations:

Shirley Shirley is Rum's Shadow Mistress. Before Debut, Rum had never interacted with her mistress, unable to even give her a goodnight kiss. During Debut, Shirley was unable to maintain her human form, eventually reverting to being a Morph. After Debut, Rum was demoted to "Faceless Doll," except that Shirley didn't actually die. Rum lets Shirley into her mouth when she's about to drink the "coffee" so that Rum won't be brainwashed. They can communicate with each other through their hearts when Shirley transforms into a ribbon tied to Rum's finger.

Strange She talks to the ribbon on her finger as if it were a real person. She claims it gives her courage. The ribbon belongs to a doll her mother made. Since Rum couldn't bring the doll to the selection, Emilico suggested she take the ribbon and tie it on her finger.

Kate Shirley and Kate have a good relationship. Shirley inspects the mansion on Kate's behalf because of her short stature. They also have regular evening meetings where Kate outlines her plans to Shirley. Thanks to Rum's letters, they can now communicate much more fluently, unlike Shirley's mix of interpretive dances and concise writing.

Power and abilities Amount of soot Shirley was never seen emitting soot.

Soot energy Shirley, in her metamorphic form, can transform herself by wearing the soot she herself emits. As we've seen so far in the story, she can transform into a blazing flame and into a ribbon.

It is unknown how Shirley's soot is emitted, since she was expressionless as Shadow and always positive as a shapeshifter. In her metamorphic form, Shirley can move vertically along walls and move very fast. In her transformed form, she cannot speak directly, but she can communicate with Rum by transforming into a ribbon tied to Rum's finger and communicating through his thoughts. She uses interpretive dance to communicate without words. If she tries to communicate with words, she writes with her own soot, though it takes her time.

It is shown that Shirley knows more about the mansion than she lets on, as she is aware of the brainwashing that the dolls were subjected to while wearing coffee with soot. According to some fans' calculations, Shirley's height was around 134 cm, but about 80 cm in her original form and 7 cm in her current form.

Her outfit consists of a white T-shirt and shorts under a lavender dress, a white hair ornament with two lavender ribbons, white socks, dark purple sandals, and a lavender ribbon tied around her left index finger.

Before Debut, Shirley was unable to develop a personality because Rum was too shy to interact with her. She managed to acquire a glimpse of one during her interactions with Rum during Debut, but even so, it wasn't enough to save her human form.

After her debut, Shirley developed her own personality, even awakening her soot powers in her transformed form. She is said to be lively and mischievous.

relations:

Rum Before Debut, the relationship between Shirley and Rum was only that of a master and her assistant. Even then, they couldn't interact much because Rum was too shy to communicate with her.

After their debut, Shirley and Rum become very close friends. When Shirley transforms into a ribbon tied to Rum's index finger, they can communicate telepathically. Rum always takes Shirley with her when she performs her duties as the Faceless Doll. They trust each other deeply, as demonstrated by Rum asking Shirley to investigate many things for her. It was Shirley who suggested hiding in Rum's mouth to drink the coffee and thus avoid being brainwashed.

Barbie Barbie recognized Ricky as "the only one of the newcomers who showed promise," as he caught her when Shaun knocked her down and showed her respect as a Star Bearer. Following the events of the Hunt, Ricky angered Barbie by implying she wasn't helping Barbara enough, earning him a kick and the derogatory nickname "show-off jerk." He managed to calm things down by talking about his experiences with Patrick and how he tried to make him seem stronger than he was, something Barbie could relate to.

Ricky is a shortened form of "Richard" and "Patrick," and means "powerful leader," "peaceful ruler," as well as "power," "brave," and "strong."

Emilico Ricky used to tease Emilico when they first met during Debut, but in the end, he wanted to help her through (giving her the scissors he'd gotten from Lou). After Debut, they didn't interact much, but this positive change seemed to last, as he felt bad after making a joke at Emilico's expense.

Shaun At first, they didn't get along at all and were constantly looking for fights. The events of the first episode made them rethink things, leading Shaun to apologize for impulsively thinking badly of Ricky, and Ricky to reveal his true feelings by crying and begging Shaun and John to take care of Patrick.

After their debut, they didn't interact much. Although Shaun and Ricky argue, they remain friends and care about each other.

Rum Like everyone else, Ricky initially picked on Rum. They didn't have a chance to interact until her reappearance, at which point he was overjoyed to see her safe and sound. Like the rest of the Shadows in the house, Shirley dresses entirely in black and appears to be the silhouette of her "Face," Rum. Shirley is a young woman with short, curly hair, cut in an androgynous style. Her outfit consists of a white T-shirt and shorts under a lavender dress, a white hair ornament with two lavender ribbons, white socks, dark purple sandals, and a lavender ribbon tied around her left index finger.

Relations: Patrick Patrick trusts Ricky completely, almost hiding behind him, and is visibly distressed at the thought of losing him. He calls him indispensable and exceptional, and frequently seeks his advice and opinion. Ricky, in turn, is extremely loyal, even swearing by his master's name when accused of lying. He is willing to do anything to maintain his master's status at the highest level, even going so far as to vet each potential suitor to ensure they hold the most prominent position in the House. They have a relationship of great trust, judging by Patrick's statement: "It's impossible that Ricky is lying." After a long conversation about their insecurities, their relationship becomes more open and solid than before, and Patrick describes their bond as that of "soulmates." They strive to highlight each other's achievements to ensure they have no reason to feel inferior.

Lou At first, they didn't get along; Ricky kept trying to follow his master's orders, acting superior to everyone, and Lou was too focused on finding Louise. As they made their way through the maze, Ricky began to respect her. He was genuinely concerned when Lou fell and cut her leg, even bandaging it, which led her to ask him, "Are you worried about me?" From then on, he followed the map carefully and checked anything that seemed unstable before moving forward to avoid a repeat of the accident. During the maze, he began to feel something for her, feelings that grew stronger over time. He only acknowledged them through internal monologues: "Why did I give her the flower? What's happening to me?" and "It's not Miss Louise's face I want to see, it's Lou's." He was also often seen blushing when he was near her.

Occupation Server Patrick's face Living doll Ricky is a young boy with short, neatly styled blond hair, pulled back in a distinguished fashion. He has blue eyes with long eyelashes and very pale skin. He usually wears a standard male "Living Doll" uniform or a Portrait when acting as Patrick's "face."

Before entering the house, he had his hair down with bangs covering his left eye, and he was wearing a white turtleneck shirt and a green vest over it. He had on light brown shorts that came above his knees, plain white socks, and dark brown loafers. Ricky claimed that his clothes were made of "top-quality" fabric.

In his first appearance, Ricky comes across as arrogant and egocentric, willing to do anything to achieve a higher position. He is easily agitated and tries to humiliate others to demonstrate his superiority, revealing that he adopts an arrogant attitude to cope with his insecurities. He overthinks everything, planning meticulously and trying to choose the best option. Deep down, beneath this facade, Ricky is a kind and sensitive person, as evidenced especially in his relationships with Lou, with whom he fell in love, and with Patrick, whom he trusts deeply and discreetly advises. Over time, he begins to show more openness about his softer, more vulnerable side, resorting to honesty and compassion instead of cunning schemes to connect with people and advance his career.

John John and Patrick, much like their faces, don't get along. They often argue; John seems to look for any excuse to fight, and Patrick thinks John is an annoying jerk. John also joins Louise in teasing Patrick. Despite their fights, they consider themselves friends. Kate Patrick respects Kate enough to trust her as the leader of his mission, even though their stances on the situation are radically different.

Margaret In their few encounters, Patrick and Margaret got along quite well. Margaret grew fond of Patrick, as evidenced by her remark, "Children who like flowers have good hearts," and by offering him a peony she had grown as a symbol of their friendship. She was often seen flustered around him, asking him if he would protect her, her face flushed. Patrick remained oblivious to her feelings, only recognizing them when confronted with direct evidence.

Barbara Patrick admires and respects Barbara. Without hesitation, he defended her from the crowd, and when he saw her having an epileptic seizure, he looked for a way to ease her suffering. He succeeded by giving her a flower with calming properties, although, as Barbie pointed out, his mere presence was enough to soothe her.

Power and abilities Amount of soot According to Edward, Patrick's soot level is below average.

Soot energy Patrick's ability to absorb soot allows him to nullify any other soot power that comes into contact with his.

When Patrick experiences negative emotions such as anger or anxiety, his soot spreads in a thin layer. When he feels embarrassed, especially in the presence of Emilico, he expels heart-shaped soot. It was later revealed that this was part of activating his soot power. The texture of the soot that Patrick emits is very fine.

Ricky Patrick admires Ricky's strong personality. Throughout the manga, Ricky has shown to support Patrick both physically and emotionally during his debut and social life, as Patrick is not a strong character.

Patrick trusts Ricky completely, almost hiding behind him, and is visibly distressed at the thought of losing him. He calls him indispensable and exceptional, and frequently seeks his advice and opinion. Ricky, in turn, is extremely loyal, even swearing by his master's name when accused of lying. He is willing to do anything to maintain his master's status at the highest level, even going so far as to vet each potential suitor to ensure they hold the most prominent position in the House. They have a relationship of great trust, judging by Patrick's statement: "It's impossible that Ricky is lying." After a long conversation about their insecurities, their relationship becomes more open and solid than before, and Patrick describes their bond as that of "soulmates." They strive to highlight each other's achievements to ensure they have no reason to feel inferior.

Emilico When she heard him complaining in the wooden box he was trapped in during their interaction in the maze, she helped him by telling Patrick not to shed too much soot or he would soil his clothes. [2] After this interaction, it is revealed that Patrick fell in love with Emilico; he even liked flowers after she gave him a yellow daffodil during the Debut. After considering the House rules and how they no longer have to follow them, he decides to act on his feelings for her after all.

Louise Patrick is often the butt of Louise's jokes. She frequently teases him, but not maliciously. She was quick to offer him her soot when Patrick's became too weak to be molded, and she trusts him enough to ask him to keep her breaking the rules a secret.

Like the rest of the Shadows in the house, Patrick is completely covered in soot and resembles the silhouette of his "face," Ricky. Patrick is a small boy with short, neatly combed hair, and he wears Victorian-inspired green plaid clothing with puffed sleeves, white shoulder pads, and a large white bow tie around his neck. His shirt is held at the waist by a brown belt and flares out like a skirt, under which he wears beige shorts. He wears long white socks and brown boots.

Patrick is arrogant, self-assured, and loyal. He has a strong sense of duty and will help those who help him. He isn't as conceited as his "Face," Ricky, but he can sometimes be annoying. During the Debut, he suffers a panic attack, which shows that he has many insecurities caused by his desire to prove himself. After the Debut, he retains much of his personality but has become kinder, more humble, and more open-minded. He gets along well with the other Shadows and has shown a particular interest in Emilico, Kate's "Face," after she comforted him during the Debut. In later chapters, it is revealed that he had, in fact, fallen in love with Emilico.

Relations Louise The relationship between Louise and Lou is like that of a puppet. Although they get along, Lou is usually controlled by Louise, who changes her expression at will. Over time, Louise learned to let Lou express herself freely.

Emilico As members of the same team, they interact a lot during the cleanup. Lou respects Emilico's ideas, since she herself struggles to make decisions, and she supports her. She helped her on several occasions, especially when Emilico was acting as the "public face."

Ricky As shown in chapter 27 of the manga, while Lou was searching for Louise, she stumbled upon Ricky. Later, she asked Ricky to guide her to find her Shadow Master. Unwittingly, she unnerved him by getting very close to his face and asking if his face was damaged. She thanked him for his help during the maze and secretly gave him her scissors, telling him she had never done anything like this before and that she wanted both him and Patrick to approve of the Debut. It's unknown exactly what she thinks of him, but as the effects of the coffee began to wear off, she started acting differently around him, such as asking him for a flower while they were acting as "Faces," justifying her breaking the rules with "It's because he's Ricky," and glancing at him as she walked away.

Before, Lou always held his hand and often made fun of him.

Lou is a young woman with curly, burgundy bob hair and bright yellow eyes. She wears a Victorian-style servant's dress with dark sleeves, a white apron, and a white skirt, or a portrait when she's playing Louise. She wears a black ribbon on the left side of her bangs. Before entering the House, she wore a pale yellow dress with a ruffled collar, white stockings, and black shoes. She wore a white ribbon in her hair. Lou is a quiet and obedient girl who follows all of her master's orders. Her top priority is caring for Louise and her own safety. She often worries about damaging her face and is known for invading other people's personal space. When she sets her mind to something, she is very determined to achieve it, especially if it involves Louise. Unlike Emilico, she doesn't get carried away with unnecessary thoughts and has the potential to be an exceptional Living Doll. However, because she only sees herself as a face and nothing more, she is very bad at making decisions.

Relations Lou It's unclear to what extent Louise values ​​Lou as a person, but she adores her face. She's frequently seen marveling at Lou's features and admiring her beauty. After the events of chapter 65, Louise becomes more concerned about Lou's health.

Kate Louise respects Kate as a good friend and as the leader of her team. She didn't pay much attention to her during her debut, but after Kate showed her her peculiar hobby of making soot dolls, she found her amusing and began to like her more. Before Team 10's regular meetings, Kate tells her about the plans for her debut class.

Patrician Louise teases Patrick whenever she gets the chance. She often takes it as a joke, but without meaning any harm. She offered him her soot when Patrick's became too weak to use as a mold, and she trusts him enough to ask him to keep her pranks a secret. Like their living dolls, they get along well as good friends.

Benjamin She trains with Benjamin at the gym as his training partner, along with his Living Dolls. Louise has great respect for him and his role as secretary of the Star Bearers. They get along well, although Louise is the one who does most of the talking.

Powers and abilities: Amount of soot: Edward noted that Louise's soot level was excellent.

Soot energy: Louise's soot possesses mental characteristics. By exhaling it directly into the mouth of a Living Doll, she can control its facial expressions at will. The effects fade if the doll is too far away to receive the soot. At first, Louise could only use it on Lou, causing her to act with greater loyalty and synchronization, but later she learns to use her ability on other dolls.

When Louise experiences negative emotions such as anger or anxiety, her soot comes out curved as it rises. Louise's signature flower is the gerbera.

The waist and neckline are adorned with floral accessories. She wears a single yellow flower in her hair. Her shoes are dark blue ballet flats with yellow flowers.

Louise is bold and self-assured, but she can sometimes come across as narcissistic. She loves showing off her "face," Lou, and has complete confidence in it. She has several sketches and drawings of Lou hanging on her bedroom walls. Serious conversations bore her, as she just wants to have fun.

Before the debut, Louise did Lou's makeup and told her how beautiful her face was. Louise touched Lou's face, leaving a smudge of soot. She quickly wiped it off, and they both headed to the ballroom.

relationships 2:

Emilico Emilico is Shaun's best friend among the living dolls. They met when Emilico was trying to protect Mia from Barbie. Shaun watched the scene closely, and when Barbie was about to hurt Emilico, he intervened to protect her, though he said he only did so because Barbie was getting on his nerves. They grew closer during night patrols, along with Rum, and became great friends. In his debut, Shaun wanted to join Emilico. Throughout the manga, he is shown to think about her a lot. He often wonders, "What would Emilico do in my situation?" Over time, Shaun became protective of her and is seen as jealous of Olly. Olly begins to get closer to her, due to his fascination with Emilico's great athletic ability.

Ricky Ricky and Shaun knew each other because they were on the same cleaning crew. They don't seem to get along well, but they don't hate each other either. Their arguments are rather childish, but they know how to coexist. The events of the first episode made them rethink things, leading Shaun to apologize for impulsively thinking the worst of Ricky, and Ricky to reveal his true emotions by crying and begging Shaun and John to look after Patrick.

After their debut, they didn't interact much. Although Shaun and Ricky argue, they remain friends and care about each other.

Rum Rum and Shaun get along quite well. They met during the night patrol with Emilico. They considered themselves friends and wanted to see each other again, along with Emilico, after the Debut.

Shaun is a young boy with short, dark hair, purplish-gray eyes, and pale skin. He usually wears the standard male "Living Dummy" uniform or a portrait when acting as John's "face." He is also known to wear glasses in private, as John doesn't need them.

Before entering the Chamber, he wore a white shirt, dark blue trousers with suspenders, black shoes and glasses. Shaun is calm, intelligent, and in tune with his surroundings. His top priority is looking after his owner, John. He's hardworking and doesn't fight unless provoked. He's very affectionate with his friends and is known for being quite straightforward and cheeky. He gets along well with his owner and isn't afraid to voice his opinion if he disagrees with him.

After a massive morning cleaning, all the Living Dolls gather in the main hall, and Barbie exclaims that one group has become too lax, causing the Ghost Incident. Barbie questions each team, being particularly strict with Rosemary's group. Shaun interrupts Barbie's reprimand by walking between her and Emilico, blaming his poor eyesight. Barbie scolds him along with a clumsy newcomer, Rum.

Relations John John trusts Shaun and is very fond of him. Although at the House of Shadows the "Faces" are taught to be like their Shadows, John offered to wear glasses so that Shaun, who has poor eyesight, could wear them too.

Kate John was attracted to Kate even before meeting her during the Debut. Since then, he has proposed to her and declared his love for her on numerous occasions. Furthermore, he fully trusts her judgment and the beliefs of the House of Shadows, and is willing to follow all her suggestions. At this point in the story, they enjoy mutual trust and a good relationship.

John had met Kate before, when he was a Morph, and even then, he always stayed close to her. This may or may not have been the reason he fell in love with Kate at first sight.

Patrick John and Patrick, much like their faces, don't get along. They often argue; John seems to look for any excuse to fight, and Patrick thinks John is an annoying jerk. John also joins Louise in teasing Patrick. Despite their fights, they consider themselves friends.

Emilico John and Emilico get along very well, as they have similar personalities. Shaun has even noticed that Emilico understands his master much better than he does. John considers Emilico like a little sister.

Power and abilities Amount of soot John has one of the largest amounts of soot in the Children's Building.

Soot energy John possesses a physical power similar to that of soot. "John Punch," as he himself named it, allows him to unleash powerful blasts from his fists. He first uses it to save Ricky from a rolling boulder during the Debut, which shattered into pieces. However, the blast only has a range of 2 meters, as it couldn't even crack a wall at a slightly greater distance.

During his fight with Gilbert, while observing his opponent, he learned a new technique, "John Shield", to block attacks.

Occupation Shaun's Shadow

Like the rest of the Shadows in the house, John is entirely black and appears to be the silhouette of his "Face," Shaun. John is a small boy with short, messy hair. He wears a white ruffled shirt and a long, dark blue coat that reaches his knees and fastens at the front with a gold brooch. The coat has a striped pattern and a long strip of overlapping ruffles down the back. His dark blue trousers reach his knees and end in white cuffs with two black buttons. He wears long white socks and blue shoes with a yellow chain pattern on the front.

John is known for being very friendly and open-minded. Unlike many others, he treats Shaun with respect and even offers to wear glasses so Shaun can be seen with his own. Like Kate and Emilico, John and Shaun are polar opposites. John is a muscular extrovert, while Shaun is a thoughtful introvert. Despite this, they are very good friends, and John cares a great deal about his appearance.

John tells Shaun to go to bed, but Shaun still doesn't want to rest. John treats him like an equal and even offers to wear glasses for him. Shaun gives him a goodnight kiss.

She was first seen in her metamorphic form alongside the other Shadows. They went to see the Living Dolls who would soon become their "Faces" when they transformed into Shadows.

Kate named Emilico after her grandmother Emily, thus adding an original touch. His favorite food is bread. His favorite color is red.

personality:

Personality Emilico is cheerful and hardworking. Her priority is taking care of her mistress, Kate Shadow, with whom she has a great friendship. She enjoys making friends and spending time with them. Although sometimes inexperienced and clumsy, she is also very responsible. She maintains a positive attitude and stands up for others. Emilico is curious and eager to learn new things. She enjoys cleaning the House of Shadows and always tries to improve.

Before entering the House, she used to wear a brown dress with a white apron over it, long white socks, and brown shoes. Her hair was styled in two buns on either side of her head. During circus performances, she wore a white ruffled blouse with a short, sleeveless jacket over it, brown ruffled shorts with suspenders, and black and white striped tights with holes for walking the tightrope. In one of her buns, she wore a small top hat.

relationships 2: Lou Emilico considers Lou a great friend. As members of the same team, they interact a lot during the cleanup. Lou respects Emilico's ideas, since she herself struggles to make decisions, and she supports her. She has helped her on several occasions, especially when she was acting as the "public face" of the project.

Rum Rum and Emilico get along quite well. Emilico protects Rum when she's being bullied. They met during the night patrol with Shaun. They considered themselves friends and wanted to see each other again, along with Shaun.

Ricky Ricky used to tease Emilico when they first met during Debut, but in the end, he wanted to help her get through (giving her the scissors he'd gotten from Lou). Emilico didn't pay attention to his jokes and was happy to see him when they were near Kate's cage. After Debut, they didn't interact much, but this good impression remained, as Ricky felt bad after making a joke at Emilico's expense.

Patrick Patrick secretly fell in love with Emilico after meeting her at the Debut. After receiving the yellow daffodil she gave him, he developed a great love for flowers.

Barbie Barbie despises Emilico for his cheerful attitude, calling him "flower garden" as an insult.

Belle Twins As with everyone else, the Belles treated Emilico badly, mocking her. After the death of one of the Belles, Emilico treated the remaining one with kindness and patience, allowing her to grieve the loss of her twin and trying to befriend her. Belle seemed to appreciate it, as she was seen reading the letters Emilico left for her and keeping the stuffed animal she had made herself in her apron pocket. Furthermore, she helped support Emilico when she almost fainted, even though she was acting like a "Face" at the time.

Oliver Oliver admires Emilico for her strength and resilience, and calls her "Super Living Doll." Emilico is always welcome at the Investigation Team headquarters.

Shadows House children's building Rosemary's Team (formerly) Kate's Team Kate's Debutante Class Occupation The maid from Kate's face, team leader

Emilico is a young woman with long blonde hair, intense blue-violet eyes, and pale skin. She wears a Victorian-style maid's dress with dark sleeves, a white apron, and a white skirt. Underneath, she wears white panties and a sleeveless top. Her hair is styled in two pigtails secured with large, dark blue ribbons.

relations: Emilico faithfully serves his mistress. He enjoys spending time with Kate and strives to please her. Kate and Emilico share a strong bond. Kate is always very patient with Emilico's naiveté because she knows he is trying hard to fulfill his duty.

Missing in action Emilico considers Mia a friend. She was the first Living Doll he met, and he admires her deeply.

Rosemary Rosemary was Emilico's team leader and a mentor figure. Emilico respected and admired her, considering her a friend. Rosemary was always kind and gentle with her, willing to answer all her questions.

Shaun Emilico is Shaun's best friend among the living dolls. They met when Emilico was trying to protect Mia from Barbie. Shaun watched the scene closely, and when Barbie was about to hurt Emilico, he intervened to protect her, though he said he only did it because Barbie was driving him crazy. They grew closer during night patrols, along with Rum, and became great friends.

relationships 2: Sarah Their relationship started badly and didn't improve much over time, as Sarah is too focused on her ambitions. Kate tries to help her, but remains wary, aware that Sarah is too influenced by the House.

Isabel and Mirabelle At first, the twins didn't seem to like Kate because of how much Susanna talked about them. But over time, after Belle's death, Kate was the one who helped them through their problems, and then the twins started to be a little nicer to her.

Maria Rosa As a team leader, Maryrose was a role model for Kate. She generously offered advice and guidance. Kate greatly respects Maryrose and wants to honor her memory by following in her footsteps.

Anthony They met during the Master Robe storyline. Anthony wanted to take her on as a disciple. Later, after the Louise rescue storyline, it was revealed that he is actually Kate's half-brother on her mother's side.

skills: She produces one of the highest amounts of soot in the Children's Building, second only to her older classmates and John. It gets to the point where she can form icicles on the ceiling when she's angry or frustrated.

Soot energy She is able to control her soot with great precision. Despite its long range, it is quite weak, requiring her utmost concentration. Her mastery in finely manipulating soot allows her to create objects like pillows, a rope, or a whip as if they were extensions of her body. Some of her most impressive creations are wings that allow her to glide for a time and the ability to mold her soot in her own image to deceive someone into believing there are two Kates.

When Kate experiences negative emotions such as anger or anxiety, her soot shoots upwards. Kate likes machinery (as evidenced by her interest in Oliver's inventions). Her favorite food is cakes and cookies.

relations:

Emilico: She feels a deep affection for Emilico. She treats her like a friend, not a servant, and longs to get to know her better and uncover her past. She wishes Emilico would put herself first before others and strives to protect her from the brainwashing and control of "Grandpa." It has also been mentioned that Emilico's name stems from her desire for her to be independent, rather than follow the path of ordinary Dolls who adopt the feelings of their masters.

John: Kate never accepted any of John's proposals nor responded to his confessions. But despite this, she maintains a good friendship and working relationship with John, since he is one of the few Shadows (or the only one) who is aware of her plans.

Eduardo: Edward and Kate detest each other. Especially after Edward tried to expel Kate from the House of Shadows and kidnapped her beloved doll.

Luisa Louise and Kate get along very well. Kate seems to confide in Louise about her secret information regarding the House of Shadows, but not all of it, as she isn't entirely sure it's completely reliable.

Patrician Patrick and Kate met in their social skills class, and that's how Kate became closer to him. Despite the barrier he puts up, it's easy to see that he trusts his findings after carefully analyzing them. They have different perspectives on the situation, but he's willing to cooperate.

Shirley Although Shirley didn't speak in her Shadow form, Kate later finds her in her Morph form and develops a close relationship with her, communicating through her wrist. As time passes, the bond between Kate and Shirley grows even stronger.

Barbara Kate respects Barbara and admires her as a leader. However, she isn't afraid to criticize her, thus earning Barbara's respect and trust, and becoming someone she can advise directly.

personality: Kate is a quiet and intelligent young woman. Even a member of the House of Shadows once called her "cunning." At the beginning of the story, she is very distant with Emilico, although he cares for her. From the start, we see that Kate suffers greatly from being a Shadow, and we cannot easily understand her emotions. But with Emilico's help, she becomes a little more open, although she remains somewhat distant with the other Shadow Masters. Kate also opposes the illustrious Lord Grandfather and organized a revolution against him.

Kate is one of the Shadow nobles, served by her Living Doll, Emilico. She tells Emilico not to stare at her because it makes her uncomfortable. One day, Emilico accidentally breaks one of Kate's porcelain dolls, and she tells him to throw it away. Then she scolds him for not eating and being weak. She gives Emilico her bread, which awakens in him a taste for food because of its high quality. During the time they spend together, Kate demonstrates her habit of making soot and teaches Emilico to read. She tries to do his makeup and has him dress in her clothes.

While searching for one of Kate's books, Emilico accidentally spilled water on one of her dolls and asked if he should throw it away. Kate flew into a rage, exclaiming that it was very special to her, and stormed off in a huge cloud of soot. After her bath, Kate realized the weight of her words and apologized to Emilico, noticing that he had made a doll named Rolly from a piece of her cape that Kate had torn.
