Well, I’ll keep it short today since I plan on doing another blog post tomorrow following up on last week’s plan. So please enjoy a quick rough sketch of the inhabitants of the Hall of Mirrors: The Shepherdesses, the Numbered, and the Frames.
Clone Hierarchy Aboard the Hall of Mirrors
Shepherdesses
The Shepherdesses are a small group of leaders appointed by Dr. Halliyal to administer the affairs of DOLLIE and the Hall of Mirrors in her absence. Shepherdesses may freely engage in modifications and cloning, of themselves and non-Shepherdess clones, and are the only ones authorized to keep their original eyes, which all of them do.
213: The Captain of the Hall of Mirrors. Relatively un-modified save for minor enhancements to inner ear and appendage strength.
Grace: Manages the DOLLIE Brand and oversees damage control. Heavy age-compensation cosmetic boosters, overclocked metabolism, telescoping lionfish spines on ulnas.
Sita: Subordinate to Grace, in charge of company finances and supply chains for both the company and its assets, including the Hall of Mirrors. Digestive tract removed, port for nutrient infusion, keratin production modified for strength and sharpness.
Sand: Lead scientist on clone development, decanting, and weaponization. No hair follicles, aesthetic cultivated vitiligo. Vocal chords modified to accommodate frequencies that paralyze non-Shepherdess clones.
Nali: A renegade Shepherdess, formerly in charge of imprinting and programming clones, who tried to sabotage the Hall of Mirrors. She is bound and imprisoned and kept forcibly fed and awake, and occasionally consulted by the others at their peril. Previous modifications surgically and genetically removed, currently modified to match the appearance of Pridhi Halliyal, Sonali’s sister.
Alexandria: The Crook of the Shepherdesses. When the group acts in consensus, she executes their will. Subordinate to the rest of the Shepherdesses, she manages all the concerns of DOLLIE and the Hall of Mirrors that the others do not. Cosmetically modified to match the appearance of Alexandria Tong, a childhood friend-turned-rival who perished in an accident.
Numbered
The Numbered are clones who work aboard and maintain the Hall of Mirrors. They are numbered in order of decanting, and the most senior among them is called upon to serve as the Captain of the Hall of Mirrors, though 213 has held that position for longer than most of the Numbered have been alive. They have the enhanced green eyes required of all non-Shepherdess clones, and may only engage in modification or cloning with the approval of a Shepherdess, and those permissions are limited only to their own bodies.
Frames
Those clones who are not among the Shepherdesses or the Numbered are simply designated as Frames. They all share the standard eye modification, and have no autonomy. Their features, characteristics, programming, and capacity are all dictated by the needs of the Shepherdess who produces them. They are generally, but not always, modified to manifest a degenerative condition, to ensure a dependency on proprietary DOLLIE supplements, as well as a drastically reduced lifespan.
