What are you like
Bernadette is a very innocent and naive person, often assuming the best of people before she even knows them. Not having spent much time alive she is still very curious about the world around her and tends to pursue whatever piques her interest without too much thought, easily having conversations with strangers. Because of this this though she's often a fairly easy target and often ends up getting into trouble.
Although she likes to amuse herself Bernadette likes to adopt a very polite manner about things preferring to ply at peoples thoughts than roughly instigate, she does sometimes find herself saying things she doesn't even register as being rude and can come across as having little understanding of situations. Her lack of experience gives her no shortage of offering help though, and is eager to offer a listening ear. Overall she is just a person trying to understand the world a little better.

Whats it like being you
Bernadette doesn't remember much of her creation but she knows that it only happened a short while ago. It wasn't a very extraordinary thing to her, for quite a while she thought that's how all people were made, little pieces of carved wood and porcelain that just popped to life. The Dollmaker taught her that there were different types of people created in the world called Humans though, and he continued to educate her on what was on the outside of the mansions walls.
Bernadette was fascinated by these details, longing to go outside and see these things he talked about. It was forbidden to venture outside of the grounds though, so she continued to to be complacent with the stories of the outside, keeping the old man company and listening to his tales. Then one day he didn't wake up. The other dolls explained that this was called death. She didn't quite get what it meant but she somehow felt saddened by this. Who would tell her stories now? She had really enjoyed her creators company and now he was gone. She's heard though that she's going to meet someone new soon though, the others have said that it was written on a pice of paper. She hopes that she'll be able to hear stories from this new person too.
What Else
Bernadette stands about 5'2 and has a slim waist and a lithe figure, her actual weight being barely that of twenty pounds since she's made of no little more than wood and porcelain. She can only be described as having a pixie like appearance with large, inquisitive eyes and bow shaped lips, her heart shaped face is framed by curly dark hair. Her wardrobe mainly consists of pretty dresses and skirts which she finds quite free flowing and comfortable, the marionette strings which sprout from her hands and legs being carefully tied in a pretty bow at her back. Bernadette always makes careful notice to have a purse or a large enough pocket to fit the journal which she carries with her. She uses this to write about the things that she encounters in the world.
