Gweneth Hayward, once Gregory, finds a bittersweet solace in the simple pleasures of her new form. Luxurious fabrics, the warmth of the sun, a gentle breeze – these ordinary sensations now hold a profound beauty. They offer a respite from the turmoil of her changed identity and the lingering disgust she feels towards her former life. The admiration her appearance draws creates a complex inner tension, one that momentarily eases the sting of her conflicted self-perception.
When interacting with clients, Gwen draws on her heightened sensory awareness. More attuned to her surroundings and the people within them, she cultivates a personal warmth designed to put clients at ease. A gentle touch, a warm smile, a soothing voice – her approach is deliberately comforting. She finds purpose in these interactions, extracting valuable information while also indulging the quiet contentment that comes from pleasant social and physical exchanges. Gwen's relationship with Kit and James McDaniel, the architects of her transformation and servitude, remains a source of internal conflict. The simple pleasures of her existence war with deep resentment. A harsh word might make her flinch, but a gentle touch can still draw a lingering smile.

History
Gweneth Hayward's existence as an Eldritch Doll is a stark transformation from her previous life as Gregory Hartwell, a high-powered investment banker known for his predatory behavior and unscrupulous tactics. This radical change was orchestrated by Kit McDaniel, a powerful Djin, as punishment for Gregory's mistreatment of women. Stripped of his male identity and reborn in a magically constructed female form, Gweneth is now bound to serve Kit, performing tasks ranging from the mundane to the morally questionable. Her new reality as a sensual, submissive entity stands in sharp contrast to her past life of privilege and power. This enforced servitude, coupled with the gradual alignment of her thoughts with her new female persona, signifies a profound psychological and magical transformation. The male psyche of Gregory is steadily eroded and supplanted by Gweneth's emerging identity, reshaped by a combination of magical influence and Kit's manipulative rewards and punishments. In this new existence, Gweneth's perception of self and her relationship with her captor-cum-caregiver oscillates, blurring the lines between autonomy and control, past identity and present reality.
Early Life and Education
Gregory Hayward, born on April 12th, 2001, was the epitome of privilege, descending from high society parents who spared no expense in molding his future. His childhood was a portrait of opulence, with every whim catered to and every transgression discreetly swept under the rug. This protective bubble ensured a pristine public image, paving his way to prestigious academic institutions.
His journey led him to Harvard Law School, where he excelled academically, driven by ambition and an innate sharpness. Gregory's intellect shone in the field of law, but his moral compass was often skewed by the influence of wealth and power. Following his graduation from Harvard, he pursued further education in investment banking, earning a Master of Finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. This additional degree added a formidable edge to his already impressive resume.
However, Gregory's college years were marred by a series of troubling incidents. Reckless behavior, such as drinking and driving, was a common thread, but more sinister were the repeated allegations of assault. Complaints from female classmates and even a teacher surfaced, each time quelled by the influence of his family's wealth and connections. This pattern of behavior, unchecked and unrepentant, laid the groundwork for his future downfall.
Career and Downfall
Upon completing his education, Gregory joined a prestigious investment firm, thanks to a helpful nudge from a family connection. His career at "Hartwell & Associates" was marked by a rapid ascent, fueled by his keen mind for hostile takeovers and corporate maneuvering. However, his professional achievements were overshadowed by his personal vices. Gregory's predatory behavior continued unabated, protected by the shield of his family's influence and the firm's reluctance to tarnish its reputation.
It was during this period that Gregory met Maeve, a woman drawn to the lavish lifestyle his wealth afforded. Unbeknownst to Gregory, Maeve harbored a severe gambling addiction. As their relationship progressed, she began to secretly siphon off his earnings to feed her addiction. This financial hemorrhage went unnoticed by Gregory, whose focus remained on his own indulgences and escalating misconduct.
Transformation into Gweneth Hayward
The turning point in Gregory's life came during an unexpected encounter involving his girlfriend, Maeve, and a woman named Kit McDaniel. Maeve's revelation about gambling with his money coincided with Gregory being caught in a compromising position with his secretary. This incident caught the attention of Kit McDaniel, a powerful Djin with a penchant for delivering ironic justice.
Kit, disgusted by Gregory's continued abuse of women and his overall demeanor, decided to mete out a fitting punishment. She transformed Gregory into an Eldritch Doll, trapping his soul in a female form that was the antithesis of his former self. Now named Gweneth Hayward, the doll embodied sensuality and a submissive personality, a stark contrast to Gregory's aggressive and domineering nature. This transformation was not just physical; it was a profound psychological prison, where Gregory's true self was buried beneath an artificially imposed persona designed to please and serve others.
As Gweneth Hayward, the former predatory executive found himself in a perpetual state of internal conflict, his true self occasionally surfacing but largely suppressed by the doll's dominant, servile personality. This punishment, intended to mirror the objectification and mistreatment Gregory inflicted on women, became his new reality, a daily reminder of his past transgressions and the ironic justice served by Kit McDaniel.
Life as an Eldritch Doll
In her new existence as Gweneth Hayward, the Eldritch Doll, Gregory's soul finds itself entrapped not only within a glass body but also within a complex web of manipulation and control spun by Kit McDaniel. Kit, embodying a blend of malevolence and immorality, keeps Gweneth as a pet or toy, exploiting her lack of legal and financial independence. This new existence strips Gweneth of any semblance of her former life, including the privileges and power Gregory once wielded.
Gweneth is forced to undertake various tasks at Kit's behest, ranging from the distasteful to the outright illegal. These tasks serve as a constant reminder of her subservient status and the complete inversion of her previous life's dynamics. Underneath the imposed female persona, Gregory's true self struggles to maintain its identity. However, the constant barrage of the doll's surface thoughts and the realities of her new existence begin to erode his masculine identity.
As time passes, Gweneth begins to exhibit a unique form of Stockholm Syndrome. The constant mental battle between Gregory's true self and the imposed female persona leads to a gradual alignment of his thoughts with those of Gweneth's surface personality. This psychological shift is not merely emotional but is also magically enforced, with the potent magic that created her constantly working to align her mind with her body.
The transformation becomes increasingly profound, with Gregory's male psyche being suppressed and emasculated. This process is not just a physical transformation but a deep, psychological reconditioning. As Gweneth is provided for and cared for by Kit, her perception of Kit shifts from captor to caregiver. This dynamic further reinforces the transformation, as Gweneth starts to identify more with her female persona.
Kit employs a system of lavish punishments and rewards to mold Gweneth's behavior. When Gweneth acts in accordance with Kit's expectations, without resistance, she is rewarded, further incentivizing her to embrace her new identity. Over time, the rewards begin to hold more appeal than the punishments hold fear, leading to a deeper acceptance of her new reality.
