Background / History
Eileen was once one of Alice's Dolls from Alice's Cabin. Her original body and living puppets in general originate from its Garden, but she lost contact with it and was sealed inside an oil painting for an unknown period. She initially identified herself to Yu Sheng as an Alice doll, though much of her past had already been forgotten. 5 7
While trapped in the painting, Eileen could not return to the Garden for rebirth. She explained that she could either recover her original body or create a temporary body through alchemy; the latter normally required unusual materials, though she was willing to substitute clay, paint, and wigs. 7
Yu Sheng initially distrusted Eileen as an unknown supernatural entity, but gradually relied on her knowledge of Otherworlds and Entities. Their first major cooperation involved entering Huli's dream, establishing Eileen as a useful partner despite her limitations. 20 26 37
Eileen later received several temporary bodies created or repaired by Yu Sheng. These bodies repeatedly shrank to approximately 66.6 centimeters, a problem Yu Sheng attributed to her soul remaining partially sealed in the painting. 40 164 285 286
Marlene eventually confirmed that Eileen is genuinely an Alice doll, but identified disturbing abnormalities in her records and consciousness. One of three missing Alice dolls named “Eileen,” highly similar to her original form, disappeared 3,700 years ago. Her history is linked to the Omen Goddess, the World Bridge crisis, and a past mutual destruction that left her in the painted state. 482 483 488 498 631
Appearance
Eileen usually manifests as a small doll girl with crimson eyes and visible ball-jointed construction. Her active bodies vary substantially depending on the vessel she controls.
- Originally appeared as a girl trapped within an oil painting. 5
- Temporary bodies have included clay, lotus-root repairs, steel-and-rock shells, and a high-grade alchemical body. 40 59 164 285
- Her repeated temporary bodies shrink to roughly 66.6 centimeters after activation. 164 285 286
- Her restored original shell has blonde hair and can disassemble and reassemble its limbs. 483 580 581
- Her combat stance resembles a mature spider-like woman with black waist-length hair, crimson eyes, a carapace, runes, and eight long legs. 628 629
Personality
Eileen is extremely chatty, foul-mouthed, excitable, and easily distracted. She tends to boast about being an Alice doll, but can quickly become timid or dejected when confronted with danger, uncertainty, or the shortcomings of her bodies. 7 26 164
Despite her scatterbrained behavior, Eileen is adaptable and resourceful. She can contribute useful ideas during dream operations, rituals, combat planning, and infiltration schemes. She is also protective of Yu Sheng and wants a stronger body so she can support him rather than leave him to face danger alone. 43 163 284 664
Eileen has a strong desire to reconnect with her sisters and the Garden, though discovering the scale of her lost past leaves her uncertain about where she belongs. 482 484 586
Abilities & Skills
Dream Infiltration
Eileen can enter other people's dreams and influence their direction. This ability is instinctive to her and can be used to navigate linked consciousnesses.
- Can enter and partially manipulate dreams. 26 145
- Can use dreams as a route to investigate another person's sealed consciousness. 26
- Guided Yu Sheng through Huli's dream and helped establish a connection to the Otherworld valley. 26 43
- Requires Yu Sheng to act as a “rope” when making dangerous jumps between linked minds; a failed connection can trap her consciousness. 26
- Remained confined to her painting even within dreams during her early imprisonment. 26
Doll Threads
Eileen produces thread-like constructs with a wide range of supernatural applications.
- Black threads can connect consciousness, guide dreams, create traps, restrain targets, and control opponents. 255
- Claimed she could forcibly control Wolf Grandma for several minutes. 255
- Used black threads and energy beams to pressure a Hermetic Society priest. 398
- Can use threads to examine or restrain spiritual and mental abnormalities. 318 374
- Her original shell produces glowing golden threads that repair and reassemble her body. 580 593
- Golden threads can crush weapons and interfere with enemies in combat. 593
- Black spider silk is more offensive and suited to capturing or weakening enemies; golden threads are better for defense and self-repair. She cannot maintain both thread types simultaneously. 629
Alchemy and Body Creation
Eileen possesses living-puppet knowledge that allows her to assist in creating and operating substitute bodies.
- Knows methods for creating temporary bodies from alchemical materials and blood. 7
- Drew and supervised high-level alchemical circles for Eileen Pro Max while operating multiple bodies at once. 285
- Can transfer portions of her consciousness into several bodies, allowing parallel work and multiple perspectives. 164 285
- Helped improvise a ritual that awakened her original body, though its joints remained unstable. 571
Energy Beam Projection
Her Eileen Pro Max body developed an unexpected beam weapon capability.
- Fires blue, laser-like energy beams from her fingertips. 287
- The ability appears connected to the body’s Profound Iron skeleton. 287
- Its use consumes spirit energy; depletion causes the body to become rigid and temporarily inoperable. 287
Electrical Absorption
Eileen can absorb and retain large quantities of electricity.
- Survived repeated lightning strikes from a Hermetic Society priest. 398
- Absorbed the lightning until she was surrounded by a powerful electric field and overflowing energy. 398
- Continued to crackle with residual electricity afterward, requiring others to keep their distance. 401
Mass-Produced Doll Control
Eileen can activate and command mass-produced versions of herself.
- Instilled spirituality into a mass-produced doll, enabling it to understand simple commands. 410
- Can open rifts to deploy groups of mass-produced dolls in combat. 592
- Uses her dolls for coordinated labor, combat support, distractions, and tactical positioning. 285 542 592
- Can control enough bodies to handle complex rituals simultaneously. 285
- Her high-level Alice Key permissions can bypass Garden Network security protocols. 588
Combat Stance
Eileen can transform into a spider-like combat form associated with the Spider Goddess.
- Gains eight long legs, enhanced mobility, black spider silk, and high resistance to ordinary magical attacks. 628 629
- Used dimensional switching to evade the Great Sage's wide-area thunderstorm attack. 624
- Favors close-range attacks against opponents' knees and lower body, often using a frying pan or leaping slash. 624 625 629
- Can be briefly stimulated by absorbing Yu Sheng's blood, but the transformation is unstable and quickly collapses. 629
- Normal activity causes the transformed body to shrink back after a few hours. 581 629
