Story

"The world is beautiful, even with all its many flaws." Imani believes in her own version of a goddess who created the world with all its strengths and weaknesses. Even weaknesses have their own personal beauty. However, the experienced wooden doll did not always believe this. She was born blind in one eye, which was made of pure glass, and for a long time she did not understand its purpose. As if that were not enough, countless cracks surrounded her sore spot, from which a scarlet liquid oozed out. The wooden lady thought that she must have angered someone before her birth, and so she lived her life hiding her right half of the face under bandages.
One windy summer day, she lost her bandages, and through her glass eye, she noticed a striking flower on a beautiful porcelain man. Her perception of a vengeful goddess punishing her with her eye changed. The man returned her lost bandages, expecting a kiss as a reward, but Imani could only stare at his chest. A large black flower, beautiful as the night, surrounded his heart and seemed to devour it. She could see it, but he could not.
Her staring displeased him, and he continued on his way without looking up for a kiss. Imani watched him leave, opened her mouth to shout at him, but it was too late. A trader riding a heavy load on his flying companion had to make a blind landing due to the strong wind. The heavy metal animal landed on the porcelain man, shattering him into countless pieces. He was instantly dead.

A black flower. Not everyone had it, and only Imani could see it. It didn't take many of these incidents for Imani to realize that her blind eye was not so blind after all. She saw the approaching death of other dolls - the larger and more beautiful the flower, the more likely it was to happen. And the less likely the person was to be saved.
Was it a curse or a blessing? The wooden woman failed so many rescue attempts that she spun a goddess with her own morality and ethics in her head out of desperation. It all made sense. The goddess creates life as well as death. Happiness and sorrow. After all, without ugliness, there would be no beauty, right? And she wanted Imani to see and understand it. And she did.

Her Ability

› Foreseeing Death
Some Gemdolls like Imani have a glas element somewhere on their body where their blood is visible (Imani's right eye). They allow Gemdolls to use magic.
Imani's magic is the ability to foresee other dolls' death date. She sees an imaginary flower growing on people's gems who will die within the next few hours. The closer their death comes, the bigger the blossom becomes.
