Roger is a living doll, brought to life by the Toymaker. Originally, his  only purpose was to paint murals. Slowly but surely, he used his hands  to cover the walls with his art, collaborating occasionally with others.  But art is a creative mode and a language of thought and emotion; as he  pushed the boundaries of his designs, he pushed the boundary of his own  mind, developing free thought and feeling that few others were allowed.

This  was unacceptable to the Toymaker, but before he was erased, he escaped  the roaming home. He spent several days wandering lost in the forest,  until he was discovered by Bailey, who took him in instantly. He has  been living with her ever since. He helps her around the house as  repayment for his care. He's been learning how to be a person from her,  though she's not exactly the ideal role model.

She's provided him  a stock of doll clothes to wear as an alternative to the clothes he was  found in, as he is only about 18 inches tall. He's quiet, and he  doesn't know how to emote very well, and if he's distressed he'll get  emotional displays confused (ex: smiling when something bad is  happening, thinking a sad person is angry). He still has difficulty with  the word no. Many things in the world are new and strange for him, but  food is one thing he will never understand, for he cannot eat or drink.
