Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationDyeJob: A variation due to ArtEvolution. At first, Yumi was portrayed as having paper-white hair and skin, but from approximately 2018 the author started to give her hair and skin a light tint of color such that she has very light blonde hair. This color scheme is kept for the reboot.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Heroic Albino is no longer a trope, it's not Albinos Are Freaks since nobody commented on Yumi's albinism, and Red Eyes Take Warning don't apply to her either... only Mystical White Hair would apply to them. That said, it seems albinism alleles are rather common in that community's gene pool...

Added DiffLines:

* MysticalWhiteHair: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Yumi and Yuzo have extremely blond (in the reboot) or white (in the original) hair and are both {{Seers}}. However, Yuzo's daughter, i.e. Yumi's mother, has black hair and is also a seer.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Yumi often has dreams about the future, an ability she resents because most of the time the things she sees are terrifying.
* ForTheEvulz: There is no stated reason as to why the toys become violent after a certain amount of time. They just seemingly attack out of nowhere and won't stop until their owner is dead.
* HappilyAdopted: Yumi's adopted mothers are very caring and kind, worrying for Yumi's mental health after the death of her grandfather, but also choosing to give her the space she needs to avoid smothering her.

The flawed creations of a man long ago have a mind of their own, a very murderous one. After realizing the true nature of his creations, the man created Paris, a ventriloquist's dummy whose purpose was to keep the other toys in line.

The story revolves around Yumi, a young girl with psychic abilities whose grandfather has recently passed away. Unfortunately, that's not her biggest issues. When Yumi is attacked by one of these vicious toys, she descends into her home's basement following a dream she's had the night before and inadvertently re-awakens Paris, who is all too happy to pick up where he left off.
