however, most of those experienced in the craft or ownership of dolls can attest that most are made with a Purpose. to be ornamental, or to service, or to write or paint, or to make tea, or so on, and further, that the specificity of this Purpose may give it a kind of 'self.' a fashion doll, yes, but for gothic styles, or a service doll but specifically a maid, and perhaps what kind of maid can further specify it. and thus do they have a personality, or specific thing that they 'are.'

the only question those seeking this answer may find left is one to wonder over for a time:

if this is what makes a doll's 'self,' is it, and how much is it, or in what way is it,

it wants this, it says to itself. it prefers it this way.
