The Darling Dolly animatronic is an earlier Spirit Halloween animatronic, and relatively large compared to some of the other ones released around the same time, with this one being 7 feet tall.

Her lore tells us that she started off as a creepy doll that Sally Smith had found buried in the backyard of the new home her family had just moved in to in the 1930’s, which started a chain of weird and creepy things happening around the house, that her mother blamed on the doll. During a thunderstorm, Mrs. Smith tried to rebury the doll back where she had been found, but her shovel was struck by lightning, trailing into the grave, which led to her fusing with the doll after everything lit up with a blue glow.

Dolly has a very finely cracked porcelain doll face with red lipstick and glowing blue eyes (they can also flash red), and semi-curly shoulder-length (presumably) red hair with bangs. Her body is very hunched over and covered in a long, dirty light cream colored dress, a dirty grey shawl, and black wispy fabric, topped with a ruffled light tan collar. She also has splotchy light and dark brown long claws for arms, extending almost like spider’s legs.
