Origin[]

Sarah Wickham was the sole daughter and youngest child of the Wickham household alongside her older brother, mother, and father. Her parents' marriage had deteriorated over the years after the birth of their first child, leading to frequent fighting and domestic troubles, often in Sarah's vicinity.

After a particularly loud argument between her parents while Sarah played with her dolls, during which her father had thrown a lamp across the room next door, she became extremely scared and wanted nothing more than for her family to be happy again.

Very soon afterwards, after hearing the horrified confusion of her parents and brother, she realized that she was able to make her family do whatever her dolls did when she played with them. So, she made her family act "normal", going about the typical activities her plastic family did every day.

The Warehouse was alerted to the artifact's presence after Sarah had accidentally dropped her mother's doll down the stairs of her dollhouse, injuring her neck and spine; when the ambulance and police arrived, rather than finding anyone with Mrs. Wickham, they found the family frozen where Sarah had last left them, only able to speak. The entire family was taken to the hospital to be treated for a collective mental condition or drug use after they had frantically told the officers about what their daughter was doing to them.

Arthur Nielsen later collected the dollhouse, releasing the family once it was no longer being played with, and the Wickham family underwent extensive therapy.

Effects[]

This dollhouse is only capable of affecting the single household of the Wickham family that owned it; interacting with it does not affect the family of the player, nor does it affect a member that does not directly correlate to an accompanying doll. Adding dolls, even those of another instance of the same playset, does not expand its effects.

Trivia[]
