Toba

"A Human, or a Puppet?"

Toba is one of my earliest OCs, created around 2019(??) She was originally posted on...gulp...Animo... I did some small art of her before not touching her story EVER again until 2025. Now that I did, im going to start ranting now be prepared BREATHES IN (Please skip all mentions of story if do not wish to be blinded by creepypasta inspired stories and cringe from 5 years of build up lore)

Toba was based on a LOT of creepypasta stories (mostly the ones from the slender gang YES I WAS A SLENDER GANG READER SHUT UP-) and those one of songs you hear sometimes that come and go.Toba was a performer at this really famous carnival. She was one of THE main attractions so she'd get constant showtimes. The main mystery to her story was that she was unsure of whether shes a puppet, a human, or somewhere in between, as she needs to eat and drink and sleep like any normal human, but if she ever "malfunctions" she needs to go get repairs, she has INTERNAL mechanical systems that doesn't seem to connect to anything their just there, but it somehow requires her to move. The only person who maintained her was her creator, or "Father" in this case but she has never called him that. Her oldest memory is her already practicing for the carnival owners.This routine carried on for several years, showtime, breaks, weekly checkups on health and systems and back to showtimes again. The only time she has for herself is when the carnival closes, allowing her to walk around and see all the attractions. Rarely the other performers would be there for their final shows or just began to leave when they spot her, and usually keeps distance, because despite looking very human she is MUCH taller then them (she's around 2 meters).Of course everything eventually ends. Toba's creator dies, meaning she no longer had a proficient mechanic to maintain her, only people who barely knew robotics. Since she did the same show all the time, the audience grew bored of her. Then came the breaking point.During a show, Toba's function suddenly ceased, causing her motion to be stiff and robotic. The audience screamed and fled, some choosed to attack her, throwing whatever they had. One threw a glass bottle at her face, smashing it clean. The carnival, when moving, could no longer take any more liability, leaving her and the rest of the carnival attractions in the abandoned location forever.
