Slang, a pretty but expressionless or unintelligent woman. I.e. "She's nothing more than a doll."

The Doctor took the oxygen tube out, unthreading it slowly from inside his nose. "That's done," he disposed of the tube and checked the machines one last time before leaving. Xavier lingered, but followed the Doctor out. "Get better," he whispered, closing the door behind him. Doll's eyelids fluttered when Zero spoke, but remained closed. She wanted his warmth, it was far too cold wherever she was. Her fingers twitched when he lay his hand inside her's. She would reach him, maybe not now, but soon.
It was cold being stuck outside in the snow, a forest filled with endless trees that she couldn't find her way out of. Creatures would lurk around the corner, snapping twigs, their cries sending shivers down her spine in a way the cold couldn't do. Her footsteps left markings in the snow, red with blood that continued to spill from her lips. There was a knife in her stomach. She couldn't remember how it had gotten there, Doll could remember nothing. Why did this always happen? Why was her memory always taken at the worst of times?
The smell of blood made them come closer, the Beings that wanted to break her. She had reached a clearing, something shot of the bushes, grabbing her leg. Doll fell, the knife driving further into her stomach. "Oh dear, look how much of a mess you've made." Maddox threaded a needle, turning Doll over. "We'll fix that, once I'm done with you. You'll hardly recognize yourself!" She cackled, pushing the needle into the side of Doll's mouth, slowly sewing her lips shut. Doll couldn't scream, it hurt, but there was nothing she could do. Blood filled her mouth, spilling between the seams. "What shall I fix next?" Her needle hovered over Doll's eyes. "I know!"
When they opened once more, Doll was inside a glass case, puppet strings suspending her so her feet couldn't touch the ground. She looked around, trying to find a way out. The box began to fill with water, slowly reaching her legs, crawling up her stomach and to her neck. "Help!" Doll screamed, thrashing against the strings. "Someone!" Water filled her mouth, rising. Zero was suddenly before her, watching with a terrifying sense of calm. "Zero!" Doll choked, "Please," he shook his head, turning around. "Wait! Please!" It went up her nose, covering her head and eyes. It felt like she was drowning, her lungs burning.
This time she was in a cage, looking between the bars at an auction block. "The next human, number 462!" He opened the cage, pushing Doll out. The girl stumbled across the stage, aware that she was naked, her long blonde hair covering her chest. The auctioneer grabbed her hair, pulling Doll towards him. Her legs shook as she stood in front of the crowd of male Beings, their eyes taking in her naked form with a hunger she had never seen. "Why?" Doll asked, tears in her eyes. "Because you're not one of us."
The nightmare changed again. Two people stood before her with a startling resemblance to the child. "Mama? Papa?" Her eyes widened as she recognized the room they were in. Doll had only been a toddler when she had first been found in the basement, no other sign of life for miles around. "Don't be silly, we're not your parents." The man knelt forward, whispering in her ear.
"How could anyone ever love a monster like you?"
