Category:Next Dolls

The Next Dolls are five masterpiece Chimera of Promestein, built specifically to defeat the Four Heavenly Knights and were also secretly designed to combat the Angels in their master's plan to rebel against Ilias.

Built from extremely advanced technology as well as Promestein's knowledge on the Four Heavenly Knights and in one case; their DNA, these specialized chimera are meant to counter the Four Heavenly Knights in every way. The Next Dolls even boast their superiority over them, claiming to be their next generation.

However, in the end, the Next Dolls are still defeated by their "inferior" counterparts, using their hidden secrets or newly gained experience. It is heavily implied by Tamamo and Tsukuyomi that Promestein already knew the Heavenly Knight's secret abilities, leaving the Next Dolls to be simply sacrificed in part of Promestein's plan of leaving Humanity as her successor. She does express some surprise at losing all of them, however, and it is unknown how the Next Dolls' reproductive abilities factored in her plans.

Interestingly, Rapunzel is the only one of the Next Dolls shown to be actively using any of the Artificial Spirits, despite them being Promestein's top chimera.
