Background

Cerulean is a pixie doll that was wished to life, a little like the rabbit in the story of The Velveteen Rabbit, only without the help of a fairy. Ceelie has a brilliant blue dress, azure hair and eyes, and big blue butterfly wings. She is 6 inches tall, and weighs "almost an ounce and a half, honest!" (Actually, about 1.384 ounces.)

Ceelie knows the girl who made her -- Helen, a quiet, black-haired girl of six -- and has gone to visit her. She's never spoken to Helen, of course, but wanted peek in her window just to see her again, and hopes Others will be accepted enough in Helen's lifetime to meet her for real. Helen is a somewhat shy but moderately intelligent little girl, and Ceelie has picked up some of those mannerisms from her. She is a quick learner, and liguistically gifted, but is still quite young. Because so much of Ceelie's psyche was formed by a young child, sometimes she doesn't have the most adult responses, but she tries to act grown up.

Ceelie has some foggy memories of the time when she was a doll. Mostly, they're just glimpses of games Helen used to play with her, her name and nickname, the sound of Helen's voice, and the warmth and comfort of sleeping on Helen's pillow. Her first clear memory is waking up about a year and a half ago snuggled under the blankets in a hotel room bed, knowing that everything would be okay. Somehow, she'd always known what Helen was thinking.

With only a vague idea which way to go to get "home", Ceelie set out to try and find her Helen. Somehow, after a few days, she made it as far as Hollywood, and found her way onto a movie set in a filming studio -- they'd put the same sheets Helen had on the bed for a child's bedroom, and Ceelie fell asleep there. When D found her, thinking she was just a prop, he picked her up. When she yawned and opened her eyes, he was quite suprised. After a brief, and on Ceelie's part teary, conversation, she was comfortably hidden in his pocket until he got home that night.

Ceelie spent about a week learning about the world and exploring D's mansion, before a pair Agency representatives tracked her down. D was a little defensive at first, but once Ceelie explained why they were there and what the Agency did, he was willing to let them in. They stood on the doorstep gaping for a moment before stepping inside to talk. The two agents offered Ceelie, and ultimately D as well, membership in the Agency. Ceelie put her foot down when they asked her to move there, though, and insisted that she would stay with D.

Now she lives a fairly comfortable life in a dollhouse in D's living room. Every few months, Ceelie coerces him, with a great show of fluttery eyelashes, into going out and buying her some new doll clothes. While her house does not have much to show in the glittery department, she does have a lovely set of dishes, a fine wooden table and chairs in her kitchen, a comfortable sofa, working lights, indoor plumbing, and a real bed complete with tiny pillows. And, of course, a silk dressing screen in the bedroom, for her privacy.
