[ A rather tidy scrawl appears. But it's unsteady at the same time, unsure. ]

What's so important about a name? People seem to get upset if you don't have one. I do not, but I have no need for one. My purpose has been served, and I am a mere doll. A doll doesn't get a real name, just a role.

Why are names so important? Why? Why is it not okay that I don't have one? I'm a doll. I don't need one. I don' even exist.

I'm not important.

Am I?

Comments

[bloodyashes]

A name that isn't anyone else's.

[On the surface, it might seem like Asch is trying to say that giving her a name that belonged to someone else might hinder her developing sense of self. Really, he's just angry about his own problems.]

[silver_lucifer]

I would hope so.

I don't suppose there is anyone named Cornelia about?

Or Amalthea?

[sky_sharkling]

I have an idea. Something simpler.

Hope.

[shuttersense]

Maybe not Hope.

[Her words are written quickly in her haste.]

There might be books in the library that could help. It should be a name with meaning, that feels right, shouldn't it? A name is a reflection of the self.

[drammaturga]

I think I

Like he name Hope actually

[shuttersense]

Are you certain? It may be difficult to change once you've decided.

[drammaturga]

Hope is something I strove to help kindle before. I was part of one girl's hope for life. I think it is, then, appropriate.

[shuttersense]

Perhaps. But it may also mean that you do not live in the hope for yourself, but another.

[drammaturga]

If I am to seek my own purpose and my own hope, I cannot think of any other more appropriate name.

[ The handwriting is shaky again, as if it's hard to admit this. ]

[shuttersense]

[...Ah.]

Then use it as you see fit.
