Val Ling (AU)

When Koschei was a puppeteer, Val was his favorite trained puppet and considered his fellow courtyard puppets beneath him. But then, when his master decided to become the school principal, he was forced to give him up along with the other puppets. He donated the other dolls to wealthy people, but Val, so to speak, he "put to sleep" without damaging the string, so that he could keep him as a memento of his previous deed. For many years, he was stored in the school basement until, by pure accident, a reviving potion spilled on him. Still not fully adjusted after his recent reanimation, he wanted to show off his excellent training to five female students, nearly harming them in the process, but they didn't appreciate it, to put it mildly. Ultimately, he was put to sleep again, this time by two teachers using magic wands. When his master learned of this, he became so concerned about him that he decided to revive him again, as he could use an assistant, especially his once-beloved puppet.

He will occasionally unfurl his wings, but only if he needs to, otherwise they'll get in the way. He often goes barefoot, as he often uses his feet like hands, being half owl, and shoes would get in the way. Val's second appearance is that of a barn owl, but his behavior is more like that of an eagle owl. He treats female students with disdain and even somewhat hates them. He's afraid of close contact with water and is wary of magic wands. Almost no one at school likes him except his master. Val also suggested Koschei make him a prefect so he could have some power. From abilities: Like all dolls, he possesses a form of hypnosis that makes any creature except his fellow dolls obedient, which is how he manipulated his master. He's not much of a reader, but since he spends most of his time in the basement, he often reads books with curses. He dislikes his height and constantly wants to appear taller, so he's hooked on a growing elixir, but he tries not to drink it too often. He loves everything chess-related. He has a hidden cannibalistic streak. When the lights are off, his eyes and mouth glow blue, which is quite creepy. He also has a quirk he hates: if you press his nose, his head will spin and he'll laugh. He absolutely hates it and tries not to talk about it, and he especially doesn't let anyone touch his face. In terms of sounds, he can meow, bark, growl (quietly), hiss, hoot, and make other owl sounds.

Val is a very proud and narcissistic doll, considering himself the best due to his breed. He is also very cunning and can manipulate others to suit his plans. He considers everyone beneath him. But despite his pride, he is not averse to causing mischief or causing some kind of madness and blaming the students. He constantly craves power, but more often than not, his plans fail. He cares for no one but himself. He also treats ordinary dolls with disdain, especially herd dolls. He is very arrogant and easily angered, but quickly calms down. He is capricious and insists on getting his way. He believes that everyone must obey him and they have no choice; if he wants it, he will get it. When in trouble, he often hides behind his superior breed and claims that the offender has no right to touch him, but in most cases, no one listens to him.

Val is a rare and valuable plastic doll. He is a hybrid of a serval and a barn owl. It's common for ordinary dolls to be of the same breed as a common cat, so the fact that he is both a serval and a barn owl hybrid makes him especially valuable. Like all dolls, he is very slender. He is orange with black spots, has a black owl-like beak and hind legs, and a long tail. He looks like a little clown doll. His face is almost entirely covered in makeup. He has a red mouth, dark red eyeshadow, a red nose, and rosy cheeks. He has short, beautiful orange hair. On his head is a blue cap with a pink base and three buttons, attached with a vital thread. Around his neck is a round collar that can be removed if needed. His shirt is divided into two sections, one pink and the other blue, the same with the sleeves, shorts, and socks, and there are two pink buttons on the shirt. He has pink gloves and pink jester shoes.
