—Dollface, Twisted Metal: Black

Dollface is a character from Twisted Metal: Black. She is the driver of Darkside.

Bio (Manual)

Dollface grew up in a dysfunctional family. She had no siblings and her father and mother worked fifteen hours a day. At the age of 10, her home life grew even worse when her mother unexpectedly passed away. For the many years that followed, Dollface would occasionally hear her father mumble "It's all your fault...".

Now, years later, Dollface has a new job with a man who, oddly enough, reminds her of her father...

Story - A Fragile Mask Hides a Story of Terror

Intro

"I was a bad girl one time, and now I’m gonna pay for what I did forever and ever and ever. I should'd done what I was told. I should'd been more careful. I shouldn'd defied Mr. Kreel. That's why he did this to me. I've been alone for so long. But then, one day, I had a visitor. His name was Calypso. He said he could make it all better. He said we were gonna play a game. It was the key, the only one that could open my mask. Seven years I've been locked away inside my doll face. If I won the contest, I'd get the key. But I've been so bad. Do I really deserve to be free?"

Middle

"I was asleep for hours, and the whole time, I was having this really scary dream. I dreamed about my boss, Mr. Kreel, working on those creepy masks he used to make. It was my first real job after college. I didn't want to screw it up. I wanted Mr. Kreel to like me. But then this one day, I made a terrible mistake. I didn’t mean to upset him! I didn't mean to be so clumsy! But I was just so stupid. I could feel the nails crushing the mask down on my face; and to make sure the mask stayed on tight, Mr. Kreel made a weird-looking key. He said it would make sure the mask would never come off. Now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't all my fault."

Ending

"I had won the contest and now I was gonna be free. I went to see Calypso. I told him I wanted my prize. But you know what? There's always a price to pay for something you really, really want. If I took the key, Mr. Kreel was gonna die. Why couldn't he just have been nice to me? It's funny, now that I had the key, I didn't want it anymore. I like my new face now, much better than the old one; it doesn't cry, it doesn’t look scared and it will always be pretty, even when I'm old and grey inside. There's a whole lot of people in the world just like Mr. Kreel. Someone has to show them that they can't do bad stuff to people like me."

Loading Screen Dialogue

1. My boss used to buy spare parts from this junkyard. It's where he found the pieces of my mask.
2. They say this contest kills innocent people. I don't care anymore. After what happened to me, no one is innocent.
3. 7 years in this mask. Has my face changed? The mask never gives. It crushes my face. Am I deformed by now?
4. Minion won last year's contest. But I'm not afraid of him. I just gotta find a way past his force field and I win.
5. You know, when I think about it, I wonder if my boss wanted me to die? Is it bad to think such things?
6. This battleground is small and full of enemies. I gotta keep moving if I want to survive this.
7. It's so pretty up here. It's been so long since I've seen anything pretty. I wish I didn't have to keep fighting...
8. I'm sorry officer, I don't want to kill you. I like the police. But I'm so tired of being locked up...

Behind the Scenes

Info

Dollface concept compared to the sculpture.

According to Steve Ceragioli, her design was heavily inspired by a sculpture from Yasushi Nirasawa, titled "Poker Face".An idea by David Jaffe, Ceragioli scanned the demon's image into photoshop, used a porcelain doll mask image, and duplicated the "clothed" side of Poker Face, thus Dollface was born.

Dollface's drawing of her, her father with a mask, and her mom in Heaven.

Originally, as can be seen in the prototypes, Dollface had huge differences in her backstory; Mr. Kreel, who went unnamed in this version, was actually her abusive father who locked her in the mask after she dropped and broke a bottle as a kid, making a loud noise and disturbing him. Additionally, she was presented as a teenager instead of a college-graduate adult.

Below are the intro, middle, and ending cutscenes from the prototype. Deleted quotes are in Bold.

Prototype Intro

"I was a bad girl one time, and now I’m gonna pay for what I did forever and ever and ever. I always tried to be a good girl after mom died, I promise I did. But my daddy...he would say I was wicked and evil. That's why he did this to me. One day, I had a visitor. His name was Calypso. He said he could make it all better. He said we were gonna play a game. It was the key, the only one that could open my mask. Seven years I've been locked away inside my doll face. If I won the contest, I'd get the key. But I've been so bad. Do I really deserve to be free?"

Prototype Middle

"I was asleep for hours, and the whole time, I was having this really scary dream. I dreamed about my dad, working on those creepy masks he used to make. I was being as quiet as a church mouse, drawing a picture for my mommy in Heaven... Mom died the year before, I missed her a whole lot. Dad said she fell down the steps. Dad would just keep on with his work. He didn't have much to say. I missed my mom so much...I was never supposed to talk about her. I tried to be strong, like father. If I ever made any noise, that'd make him real mad. But you know what? Sometimes I just couldn't help it... I didn't mean to upset him! I didn't mean to be so wicked! I could feel the nails crushing the mask down on my face, holding it so tight. Daddy made a weird-looking key. He said it would make sure the mask would never ever come off."

Prototype Ending

"I had won the contest and now I was gonna be free. I went to see Calypso. I told him I wanted my prize. But you know what? There's always a price to pay for something you really, really want. If I took the key, my dad was gonna die. Didn't take me long to decide. It's funny, now that I had the key, I didn't want it anymore. I like my new face now, it's much better than the old one; it doesn't cry, and it doesn’t look scared and it will always be pretty, even when I'm old and grey inside. There's a whole lot of people in the world just like my dad. Someone needs to show them they can't do bad stuff to people like me."

Trivia

• A producer of 3D and Flash animation (S4 Studios) created a series of six original Flash "Webisodes" to promote the release of TM:B. One was made for Dollface.
• In her middle cutscene, it is shown that Mr. Kreel was working on Sweet Tooth's mask, perhaps alluding to his own evil characteristics.
