ok so for context; i was explaining to a friend about Sona Lore™️ so these doodles are based on some of our personal characters. i still havent decided on any name for the species yet (Dolls? Patchwork Dolls? Shadow Dolls?) but heres more lore below:
LORE:
While no one knows what kind of world they originate from, summoning one of these creatures is easy. Depending on the type of creature you desire, different magic circles can be used, and sigils outside the circle are optional. Before one starts the summoning, however, one must sew themselves a coat that is personal to themself. The coat can include scraps from old clothing, favorite colors of the summoner, designs of favorite animals, foods or hobbies, star signs, moon phases, birthstones or hand-done embroidery. Once the coat is complete, it can be placed in the center of a magic circle to begin a summoning ritual of choice. The size, shape, and masked "face" of the creature will all depend on the personality of whoever does the summoning.
A word of caution:
Because these creatures are formed based on their summoner, they will often act like a clone, or a shadow. However, because they don't originate from a mortal realm, they have no consequence for acting out. They may act naive, arrogant, rude, or will spill secrets you may not want others to hear...
