In college, Victoria was happy for a time being away from home and constantly among friends, though the feelings that she was somehow in the wrong body began to reemerge by her second year. This time manifesting in the form of a fascination with the body of a doll, the eternal beauty and companionship that had so interested her in her youth. Victoria began applying her love of dolls to her own body, drawing fake doll joints on her arms and legs and wearing the same elegant dresses that her own collection sported. Quickly becoming known as “The Doll Girl” around campus, a local eccentric about whom other students would joke on occasion. She did not mind the name calling and reveled in the attention her display brought. Dressing as a doll on a day to day basis eventually got to Victoria's head, forming a type of depression every morning when she would shower and the inked on doll joints on her arms and legs would wash away reminding her that she was nothing more then a normal human being who would eventually grow old and die.
This realization led Victoria to scour the net and other sources asking about a more permanent solution to her problem, many suggested having the joints tattooed on, though one anonymous poster simply provided a link to website not found on any search engine or directory. The site, the personal page of one Dr. Michel Rhodes, an expert on artificial limbs and other prosthetic devices. His site was filled with grotesque images of disembodied arms and legs of a startlingly realistic nature. His backstory also painted the picture of a doctor whose family had been dealing in prosthesis since the 1800s and in the current day had perfected a type of artificial limb that could be wired with a person's own nervous system, which allowed for a much more natural array of movement. The poster of the link also mysteriously left an email message that read as the following, “Ask about the good doctor's “other hobby.”
Taking the advice to mind, Victoria quickly visited Dr. Rhodes office located several cities over from her own college. The young doctor inquired to why such a healthy young lady would be so interested in his work and was met with Victoria asking about his so called “other hobbies”. With a heavy sigh, Rhodes revealed his secret hobby, on the side he acted as a artisan of doll parts and clothing, something he worked on because it served as practice for creating prosthetic limps,as it required the same techniques though in miniature. Victoria made a huge leap of logic and asked the doctor if he could create a human styled limb in the same manner of his smaller works. The doctor replied in the only way he could think of by asking why anyone would want such a thing. Victoria, in her usual brand of insanity, replied she wished to via such limbs becomes a kind of living doll. Rhodes jaw hit the floor at her response, in shock that any human being would wish for such a thing. On top of that, he mentioned, it would be unethical and against his professional oath to do such a thing, as it would be harming Victoria more then anything else.
Victoria, however, was not one to take no for an answer, she began offering higher and higher sums of money until, after hitting a number so absurd that Rhodes forced her to stop and seeing that he might be able to actually cure some of the poor girl's problems by carrying out the request agreed. The arrangement was as follows, he would replace the designated body parts, her arms and legs, for a fixed price and a promise that Victoria would work as his personal secretary for a period of two years. The first such surgery was mind numbingly difficult for the good doctor, seeing as he has to remove Victoria's arm, then attach the custom made doll limb, on top of taking great care in wiring the prosthetic to her body so that it would move properly. The ordeal took 9 hours and a powerful anesthetic to get through and left both parties exhausted. After recovering from the surgery, Victoria was thrilled to find her new limb a vision of her own ideal of porcelain perfection. In the downtime between further operations, Victoria worked part time as Rhodes assistant and resumed her college attendance, hiding her new appendage beneath long sleeve shirts and long gloves.
