I've caved and decided to make not just one, but two Poppy Playtime ocs
Psst @justabeewithapen, I drew your silly :>
First up is Scribble Sloth, a line of dolls made with the sole purpose of being drawn on. They came with three markers/stamps and a stencil for making certain shapes.
Along with the pink variant seen above, Scribble Sloths also came in blue, green, purple, and yellow. Each of them came with their own markers, stencils, and accessories to differentiate them from one another. Now on the experiment side of things....
Sophie Marwood was an orphan at Playcare who was brought in alongside her older sister after their mother died. Sophie was a kind but naive child who always saw the good in everyone. Her kindness and good scores in the Game Station are what got her chosen for experimentation.
After the procedure, Sophie was dropped off in a cell alongside a couple of Smiling and Nightmare Critters. She was scared, confused, and just wanted to see her big sister again. And that's exactly what she'd try to do. Using her small size, Sophie was able to sneak through some vents while no one was looking and maneuvered her way up to Playcare. She quickly found her sister and things only got worse from there....
Now to introduce my second Poppy Playtime oc. After the huge success of Doey Dough and the accompanying Doey the Doughman, Playtime Co. immediately began to brainstorm ideas for another dough mascot to go alongside Doey. But they never went past a couple of concepts and decided to scrap the whole idea and just stick with Doey. That was until an incident with one of the orphans occurred.
Emily Marwood was an orphan at Playcare who was typically seen looking after her little sister, Sophie Marwood. The two were inseparable for a time until Sophie got chosen and taken away without warning. Emily was distraught and couldn't cope with the fact that her younger sister was seemingly adopted without her. She isolated herself for a couple of days afterwards, preferring some alone time. One day during this self-imposed isolation, Emily was suddenly approached by a living Scribble Sloth.
After the initial freak-out, Emily was told about all of the experiments that happened below Playcare. She was disturbed by all of this information, especially now knowing that the Scribble Sloth before her was, in fact, her little sister. Now Emily began to plot a way to escape the factory alongside her sister.
Days of planning went by and once she was sure about her escape route, Emily put her plan into motion. After finishing up the Whack-a-Wuggy game, instead of returning the assigned GrabPack, Emily made a run for it with Sophie in hand. She started to get chased by staff, but she had a decent advantage thanks to the GrabPack. All was going smoothly until one of her routes got blocked off by staff. Not wanting to get caught, Emily changed her course and went through the dough manufacturing section of the factory in the hopes of using the tour guide path as an alternative exit route. But before she could reach the rails above, the sound of something falling caught her attention. Turns out one of the staff members got desperate in catching Emily that they resorted to drastic measures by tipping one of the dough mixing containers towards her. Having very little time to react, Emily threw her sister to the side before getting consumed by the falling mass of dough. The staff and scientists soon cleaned up the mess and began experimenting on what was left of Emily. With the results they got, the higher ups planned on revisiting their earlier idea of another dough mascot, but they never got around to it before the Hour of Joy occurred.
Now for some miscellaneous facts about these two.
Sophie was 8 years old when she got chosen. And Emily was 14 when the escape incident happened.
Scribble Sloths are slightly taller and bigger than the average critter plush.
Emily is a bit shorter compared to Doey.
During her time at Playcare, Emily was sometimes made fun of by the other teens for her appearance. This caused her to develop insecurities about her looks, which were only made worse once she became a toy.
If Sophie can't find anything to do, she'll usually doodle on herself to pass the time.
Since Emily got caught in the mass of dough with a GrabPack equipped, it remained inside of her when she turned into a toy. Due to this, she's able to access rooms locked behind hand scanners.
Sophie has a stencil and uses it to hold onto keys and other important things.
When Emily first came to be in her new body, she only had the basic red and blue GrabPack hands in her. But after the Hour of Joy, she's since equipped herself with the green and purple hand.
Matthew was one of the few teens that didn't bully Emily. In fact, he would defend her if he was close by. This would lead to the two of them becoming friends, though that didn't last when Matthew suddenly got chosen. So imagine Emily's surprise when she found out what became of him years later. It was a very heartfelt reunion to say the least.
And that's about all the facts I've got about these two so far. Hope you all had a fun read! As a little bonus, here's a doodle of a drawing that I originally planned to put in Emily's ref, but scrapped at the last second.
I'm still debating if she'd do this or not. Maybe if she went evil? Idk we'll just have to wait and see
