Lee brings her doll to life with enormous blue eyes and perfect features, placing her in awesomely creepy scenarios characterizing a very different type of battlefield. Check it out!

Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.

Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy.

All warfare is based on deception.

O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy’s fate in our hands.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.


In war, practice dissimulation, and you will succeed.

Be subtle! Be subtle! and use your spies for every kind of business.


One may know how to conquer without being able to do it.

enjoy.
