Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Keter1

Special Containment Procedures: All components of SCP-XXXX are currently housed at Site 19 in a room redesigned to resemble their previous dwelling; this is to promote cooperation with the Foundation. SCP-XXXX-1 is not to leave its chamber without express permission from the Senior Researcher Dr. Arthur Zigmund. SCP-XXXX-1 is to maintain a position as an Assistant under the Senior Researcher, in order to minimize the amount of time available to make SCP-XXXX-3 entities. All instances of SCP-XXXX-3 are to be kept in SCP-XXXX-2 or the crochet lavender bag to keep them in an inactive state.

SCP-XXXX's containment is to be checked weekly for new instances of SCP-XXXX-3 and their anomalous properties recorded. All dangerous dolls or dolls modeled on staff members are to be confiscated immediately. Any dolls gifted to others are to be thoroughly explained and tested on regardless of stated purpose.

When being removed from their chamber for transfer, SCP-XXXX-1 must be anesthetized beforehand, to prevent the possibility of event XXXX-Alpha. (See XXXX.inc.02 for information on the SCP-XXXX Alpha Event.)

Update - 12/08/19: SCP-XXXX is not to leave containment between the hours of 20:00 and 07:00, and access to yarn is to be restricted. Testing is also suspended following the incident of 12/08/19.

Description: SCP-XXXX consists of three components: the doll maker, the toy house, and the amigurumi2 or textile creations.

SCP-XXXX-1, answering to "Leyla", appears to be a female human of mixed race with brown eyes and thick, dark hair. SCP-XXXX-1 is physically similar to that of an adolescent human female; however, the subject is emotionally on par with a young child, despite possessing an above average IQ.

The subject's skeletal system is composed of pure carbon, similar to graphite, able to resist pressures beyond 162 gigapascals, as noted in testing, along with this, SCP-XXXX-1 has abnormal strength. However, care must be taken, as their skin is hypersensitive. In addition, their blood is composed of a thin liquid chemically similar to watercolor paints.
SCP-XXXX-1 will always dress in “Yami Kawaii” beneath foundation attire3 despite other clothing being provided. The source of this clothing is unknown.
Many individuals interacting with SCP-XXXX-1 experience a memetic effect4 wherein they patronize the entity, treating them like a child, and are unable to take them seriously. This extends to the entity’s behaviors as well; staff often have trouble disciplining SCP-XXXX-1 and are generally unable to become hostile or angry with them. SCP-XXXX-1 does not take advantage of this ability and is generally cooperative when being contained5.

SCP-XXXX-2 appears to be a fully assembled G████████ dollhouse kit, with working plumbing and electricity. It is painted in soft pastel colors.
SCP-XXXX-2 can be entered into when access is granted by SCP-XXXX-1, who will invite subjects into an internal reality contained in SCP-XXXX-2. It functions as a closed house from the point of view of those inside, as opposed to the outside perspective, yet is bigger on the inside, consisting of multiple stairwells and duplicate rooms. Subjects within SCP-XXXX-2 perceive a "familiar neighborhood" outside the windows. Attempts to venture outside have failed; however, dolls can be seen exiting the house and going into other homes.
All amigurumi made from within SCP-XXXX-2 will grow to scale and become animate upon completion in addition to obtaining anomalous properties. They are able to enter and exit SCP-XXXX-2 at will. Inanimate amigurumi might become animate upon being placed inside the house. While inside the dollhouse, amigurumi will appear lifelike rather than made of their composite material.

SCP-XXXX-3 refers to all amigurumi and textile dolls that SCP-XXXX-1 makes. SCP-XXXX-1 is known to communicate with these dolls through humming. In all appearances, the material used seems to be acrylic yarn, but changes colors when extracted and never diminishes. Available felts and fabrics take on different textures to mimic other surfaces (such as metal). All yarn given to SCP-XXXX-1 by staff resulted in anomalous dolls. Any attempts made by others to crochet yarn SCP-XXXX-1 has touched has proven ineffective.
While left alone, most dolls are harmless and inactive. However, threatening SCP-XXXX-1, even in jest, will trigger event XXXX-Alpha. Any yarn-based item within earshot will violently attack the perpetrator, aligning their body before separating, leaving behind no remains. To date, there have been no remains from an Alpha-XXXX event. When SCP-XXXX-1 is injured, however, yarn will surround the wound, cauterizing and healing it within seconds. SCP-XXXX-1 has no control over these events.Textile dolls do not partake in these events.

Addendum XXXX.01 Discovery

AL2

(replace this with the other one, looking depressed af here).

On 08/17/19, M██████ J. discovered a video during her break titled "██ ████ ███████" containing an anomalous pastel doll. An investigation traced the doll's origin to an online store, shut down in 2017, where records indicated more than ███ amigurumi and textile dolls had been sold. Agents were sent out to confiscate as many of the dolls as possible and administer amnestics to those exposed to their anomalous properties. Currently 23 dolls and 3 agents are unaccounted for.
The contact information present on the website was still valid. Dr. Higgsly recognized the email as strikingly similar to that of Nurse Leyla ██████, who was immediately brought in and confessed to being the creator of the dolls.
Following is the initial interview with the newly designated SCP-XXXX-1.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewer: Dr. Q. Y. Higgsly

<Begin Log, 08/18/19>

Dr. Higgsly: Alright, child. Don’t be nervous or get defensive.

SCP-XXXX-1: I’m not.

Dr. Higgsly: Not yet. I merely want to know how long you’ve been making these dolls.

SCP-XXXX-1: I’ve been making dolls since the day I stopped aging.

Dr. Higgsly: Have all your dolls always been anomalous?

SCP-XXXX-1: Uhm… Well… I’m not sure I should really tell you…

Dr. Higgsly: You have to tell us.

SCP-XXXX-1: Not… you…

Dr. Higgsly: Why not?

SCP-XXXX-1: They don’t like everyone.

Dr. Higgsly: Who? Explain. You, especially as foundation personnel, must cooperate with us.

SCP-XXXX-1: My dolls… they don’t like everyone. I know… the animals… (pauses for a while)

Dr. Higgsly: Back to reality, now… the animals?

SCP-XXXX-1: Huh? Oh, yeah! Heehee. The animals were the first ones I made. When I was 16. I made the cheetah… and… I was running. I ran… 62 miles per hour. Like a cheetah.

Dr. Higgsly: I see…But… tell me why you’re making anomalous dolls.

SCP-XXXX-1: I can't… They don't like you. They only like people who were my friends before they were made.

Dr. Higgsly: Before they were made?

SCP-XXXX-1: So almost no one.

Dr. Higgsly: Then who will you tell?

SCP-XXXX-1: (whispers) Stop the recording. I’ll tell you who they might let me tell.

<End Log>

It was later discovered that SCP-XXXX-1 had made more than ████ amigurumi, many of animals and characters. However, some resembled foundation staff members and public figures. Those dolls have been confiscated.

Addendum XXXX.02: Dolls and Testing

SCP-XXXX-1 provided the foundation with the dolls they felt were the most unique or effective. Those that can be effectively contained by the foundation have been confiscated.

SCP-XXXX-1 made a "Manic Nurse” Collection. Each nurse has a simplified lolita outfit and a white nurse hat with a small cross. They all have long combed hair, wide embroidered eyes, and lopsided smiles, smirks, or frowns. Their hair, skirt, cross, and items are different pastel colors. All of them are animate and psychokinetic.

Mentaru Herusu, the Japanese Psychiatrist

  • Diagnoses anxiety, mental, emotional, social, and behavioral disorders. Holds a pink notebook.
    • Though expressionless at the surface, Mentaru is very vicious towards those who are not its current patients, even turning on SCP-XXXX-1 in some cases.

Bao Yàn (宝艳) the Chinese Oncologist

  • Deals with cancer, AIDS, HIV, drug related illnesses, both types of diabetes, etc. Holds a purple stethoscope
    • Very mischievous, Bao likes to scare people, especially those who make sarcastic remarks. This has been known to send subjects into cardiac arrest.

Svetlana Yekaterina, the Russian Surgeon

  • Specializes in severe injuries, broken bones, flesh wounds, punctured organs. Holds a cyan syringe.
    • Svetlana has a slight chance of causing subjects to feel guilty, even for nothing, to the point they will harm (or even kill) themselves to "atone for their sins".

Juanita Ramirez, the Spanish Neurologist

  • Takes care of Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia, Epilepsy, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc. Holds a jar of Green capsules
    • Being a narcoleptic, 3/10 times Juanita may completely paralyze patients if it falls alseep or anyone yawns around it.

Alcina Amorette, the French Gynecologist

  • Works with both sexes' reproductive systems and all STD’s. Holds a Yellow Clipboard
    • Alcina, very jealous of women "prettier than Leyla", has a tendency to render women infertile, and will even do the same to men if further provoked.

Hathor Olufemi, the Egyptian Dermatologist

  • Focuses on skincare, rashes, acne, scars, burns, and cosmetic diseases. Holds a tube of Orange ointment
    • Hathor is the most excitable and can inadvertently disfigure or even erase a subjects face altogether when it loses control. Hathor makes futile efforts to reverse this.

Bonnie Scarlette, the Scottish Otolaryngologist

  • Cures coughs, sinuses, headaches and stomach aches, sore throats, fever, cold, influenza, pneumonia, etc. Holds a Red Thermometer
    • Bonnie is known to cause hysteria in patients at random; some remain this way for the rest of their lives.

Each doll was originally made to replace Leyla's need for the corresponding doctor in real life. They were animated with hopes they would assist medical personnel, but all proved to be obsessive of their patients and somewhat sadistic.
SCP-XXXX-1 seems to genuinely have no idea why each nurse came out with a tragic flaw.


SCP-XXXX-1 refused to allow the foundation to interact with a number of dolls, but did provide a brief explanation on most.

XXXX.inc.01 09/03/19
A newly hired custodian entered SCP-XXXX's containment chamber during a routine cleaning session and discovered a previously unseen snake doll. Against protocol, the custodian brought the doll out of the chamber. He quickly 'shed' all of his skin and became limp, apparently losing the ability to walk or speak. Upon being placed in containment, the entity attacked a researcher, attempting to wrap its body around hers and biting her before being terminated. The researcher died of poisoning.
SCP-XXXX-1 was given the snake doll following this incident, and informed of what had taken place. Immediately the doll was deconstructed and SCP-XXXX-1 dispayed symptoms of chronic depression for three weeks.

Addendum XXXX.03 Testing with the yarn.

Test 1 - 10/██/19

Subject: SCP-XXXX's yarn and hooks.
Test: D-XXXX-001 instructed to crochet a penguin using provided materials.
Summary: D-XXXX-001 began making a penguin while SCP-XXXX-1 became distraught and started whining for them to stop. Upon SCP-XXXX-1 being removed, the yarn unraveled. Repeated attempts to crochet with the yarn resulted in quicker unraveling.
After 16 attempts were made, the yarn coiled up in a pile, became stiff, and could no longer be manipulated.
D-XXXX-001 retreated from the table and was unable to approach the yarn again, saying the yarn made them feel “unwelcomed.”
SCP-XXXX-1 offered no clear explanation, stating “You have your friends; I have my yarn!”

Test 2 - 10/██/19

Subject: SCP-XXXX’s yarn and orindary hooks.
Test: D-XXXX-002 instructed to crochet a cat using SCP-XXXX’s yarn and hooks provided by the foundation.
SCP-XXXX-1 was not present at this time, entertained by Dr. Skylar.
Summary: D-XXXX-002 quickly made the head of a cat while making occasional statements that the yarn did not “like” to be touched. Upon D-XXXX-002 moving on to the body, the cat head unraveled while hissing. D-XXXX-002 was told to remake the cat head.
Results were the same as the first test and D-XXXX-002 soon threw the tools down and retreated.
D-XXXX-2 was instructed to approach the yarn. D-XXXX-002 refused, saying the yarn didn’t like them. D-XXXX-002 was again instructed to approach the yarn or face termination. D-XXXX-002 refused, saying the yarn hated them.
Testing ended.

Test 3 - 10/██/19

Subject: Yarn only touched by SCP-XXXX-1
Test: D-XXXX-003 instructed to crochet an orange cube using hooks provided by the foundation and yarn merely touched by SCP-XXXX-1 prior to testing.
SCP-XXXX-1 threw a tantrum when it was taken away before they could add it to their supply.
Summary: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Any further testing with others crocheting is strictly prohibited. The damage to the laboratory will take weeks to repair. Some of the staff bodies have yet to be recovered from the supply of yarn.
Leyla only touched the yarn, why did this happen?! Why did she scream and hide? -Dr. Skylar

XXXX.inc.02 10/18/19.
SCP-XXXX-1 refused to help staff find the rest of their creations; however, XXXX-1 did agree not to interfere should they locate them. Shortly afterwards, two guards and a researcher entered the suite in time to see XXXX-1 hide a doll under a pillow and refuse to hand over because it was incomplete. A guard roughly grabbed XXXX-1, who whined in pain. Immediately all yarn based objects, and even the animated dolls, all ambushed the guard and completely covered his body. Afterwards they collapsed into a pile and retreated. The guard’s body was nowhere to be found.

Observation: The yarn and dolls take the shortest routes, tearing through living and non-living obstacles to get to the offender even if they're out of SCP-XXXX's sight (one threat being made via radio). Hazards proved ineffective in slowing them down. Even playful taps result in the yarn becoming hostile. Attempts to record the yarn attacking the subjects have resulted in static.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewers: Dr. Q. Y. Higgsly, Dr. Zigmund
<BEGIN LOG 11/██/19>

Dr. Zigmund: Thank you for allowing me to join you, Quintin.

Dr. Higgsly: You’re only here because she cooperates with you.

Dr. Zigmund: I’m kind to her. I wish you all had waited for me to return befo-

Dr. Higgsly: Oi, mate. I started recording.

Dr. Zigmund: This soon?!
(Door opens and SCP-XXXX-1 is ushered in by a guard.)

Dr. Higgsly: SCP-XXXX. Sit. Are you aware of why we are conducting this interview?

SCP-XXXX-1: (Not looking at anyone) No.

Dr. Higgsly: Really? Do you know who the guard was? The bloke whom your little toys killed? You don’t care-

SCP-XXXX-1: [Expletive] Besides, I didn't ask you all to start throwing test subjects at us! Like, seriously! Having someone punch me in the face?!

Dr. Higgsly: That's not what's important right now!

SCP-XXXX-1: [EXPLETIVE]

(Argument breaks out. Recording is stopped until the guard has things calmed down)

Dr. Zigmund: Quintin. Allow me to do the talking.

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't… wanna be here anymore. I’m just another object to you all!

Dr. Zigmund: You’ll always be a person to me, Leyla. We'll discuss free reign privileges later. Right now we want to know about the attacks.

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know anything about them.

Dr. Zigmund: Leyla, please. We just want to understand you better. You say you can’t control it, but don’t you know why this happens?

SCP-XXXX-1: I hear a voice each time… the yarn triggers.

Dr. Zigmund: Saying?

SCP-XXXX-1: "You gave the yarn life from your flesh. Forever the mind is young as allowed by God."

Dr. Higgsly: What does it mean?

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know. My mom could tell you… I was 16 when I wrote it…

Dr. Zigmund: You wrote it? What happened next?

SCP-XXXX-1: Mom left me in a room alone. I had a blackout… The only time the yarn told me it was in control. I made-

(high pitched feedback)

<Recording abruptly ends>

Attempts to trace the location of SCP-XXXX-1's mother have failed. Her trail was lost in Japan.

XXXX.inc.03 12/08/19
During remodeling of SCP-XXXX's containment unit, Dr. Higgsly temporarily relocated the subject to a small room with no access to tools or materials despite SCP-XXXX-1's request of yarn to prevent a black out. On 12/08/19, Higgsly was unable to be located. A guard, passing by SCP-XXXX's temporary holding cell, heard moaning and investigated. Dr. Higgsly's unconscious body was found beside SCP-XXXX-1, missing a left leg and right hand; he was immediately rushed to the infirmary in critical condition. The missing body parts could not be found. SCP-XXXX-1 was found crocheting multiple dolls of Dr. Higgsly out of a limited quantity of yarn, being consumed as it was used, resulting in a sloppy ordinary doll. SCP-XXXX-1 recovered from this fugue state once given yarn again, but would not respond to staff.
During the night, security cameras recorded a coil of yarn entering the infirmary, where it destroyed all electronic equipment. In the morning, Dr. Higgsly was found with fully functional prosthetics of unidentified substance. He returned to work the following week.

Following this incident, Dr. Higgsly was reported for discussing SCP-XXXX's case in the public Staff room, and making verbal threats against them. He has since been transferred to another case.

Incident Report 01/██/20

During a lockdown on 01/██/20, the site experienced multiple containment breaches. After ██ hours, all but two Keter SCP entities remained: SCP-███-█ and SCP-████. At 17:36, security footage was seen of SCP-XXXX-1 “herding” SCP-███-█ and SCP-████ with an unidentified doll. SCP-███-█ and SCP-████ were backing away slowly at XXXX-1's command. MTF was dispatched to their location in Sector-06 and all three were taken back into containment. Whenever questioned about the event, SCP-XXXX-1 is unable to respond. Search for the doll is ongoing.
