Epithet might still be workshopped, but! Works for now!
Some Thoughts on how she'd function under the cut :3
Generic Intro:
Born and raised in a privileged environment, only to have it all come crashing down around her in her tweenage years, Dollie has spent the past few years social-climbing until her fingers bled to try and regain what she sees as having been lost.
She's a bit hard to connect with, keeping most of the town at arm's length (I mean, wouldn't you?) - but there's a mischievous side to her, if you play your cards right.
As an NPC:
There are a couple ways to encounter her - Niki's Studio is the most reliable, as she is often either modeling or assisting with shoots, but she can also be met in the pub after 11pm on Thursday nights.
- She cannot be first encountered at the Brothel - she works under a different name, and takes some precaution to secure her identity, lest her night-job interfere with her day-job.
- To trigger her Brothel encounter, you must already have met her and have her Love at or above 20%. Afterwards, she can be found at the Brothel after 9pm on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. The Encounter begins by trying to go to Briar's office during these times after her Love threshold has been met.
NSFW scenes only available following Brothel encounter; until this point, she will behave in a mostly professional manner as Niki's assistant.
As her Love is raised, she may become more teasing during photo shoots she is present for, and may even suggest certain changes to the shoot which, if selected, can raise both her Lust and PC Arousal. These can become more scandalous following her Brothel encounter and after raising her Lust past 40%, at potential Trauma cost to the PC.
- If her Love stat enters negative territory, she may retaliate by spreading 'behind the scenes' photos; these will increase Exhibitionism Fame by a small amount until she is either Dismissed or amends have been made. This event is required for her Dismissal; reporting her behavior to Niki rather than confronting or apologizing to her can begin this quest chain.
As an LI:
If the player has had the Brothel encounter and raised both Dollie's Love and Lust to 60%, she will suggest doing a photo shoot together to Niki and the PC; if the PC agrees to this, she will ask them to wait for her after the shoot. She will compliment the player, and suggest they should work together more often - and, with a wink, that they should meet up more often to better their on-camera chemistry.
- The player has an opportunity to agree, refuse, or to flirt back - the third option will have Dollie will pull them back into the studio for a consensual encounter. As long as the player did not refuse her, Dollie will now be available to select as an Love Interest from the Attitudes menu.
Her bonus stat is Vanity - raising this will open avenues for more Exhibitionist encounters and make her overall more bold; she will be more likely to ask to do shoots alongside the PC, for example, and may even attempt to initiate on-camera encounters at both High Dominance and High Vanity.
- Her Dismissal Event requires her Vanity to be either below 15% or above 85%.
As with other LI's, she will open up more to the player with higher Love; her personality will become more playful and she will be more affectionate. The player will eventually hear her describe her family's downfall, as well as her own motivations.
- Notably, she is rather publicly affectionate - Exhibitionism 4 at minimum is recommended, as Dollie will often want encounters to be filmed or photographed - even solo sessions. Telling her you'd rather no cameras were involved in one-on-one encounters will result in - - - Love and - - - Vanity, but will not stop the encounter.
Dollie is possessive, but displays it... somewhat oddly. At High Love and Mid-High Dominance, she will proudly flaunt the PC - however, if the player has made an effort to keep her Dominance low but encouraged her Vanity, her insecurities can spiral.
- High Love, High Dominance, High Vanity runs the chance of Dollie attempting to sabotage other dates - there is a small chance that Dollie will interrupt a date with another LI and attempt to steal the PC away. Agreeing will have Dollie engage in some level of intimate display, the level of which depends on her own Lust, before she rudely dismisses the other Love Interest. Rejecting will garner a - - Love penalty, but she will not persist, simply pout and walk away.
- High Love, Low Dominance, and High Vanity can net you the not-so-sought after achievement of being cuckolded - Dollie will begin to schedule other duo shoots for herself, and may make conspicuous appearances with nameless NPC's around town.
- All of this is to say - keeping Dollie's Vanity from getting too high is recommended. Unless you're into that kind of thing.
