How can i describe a scary doll using personification and similes?

I am writing a gothic novel and i need to describe a scary doll using personification and similes. Any other toy descriptions would be helpful aswell, describe it eyes, clothing, hair, smile, body and skin.|||Well, since personification is a figure of speech in which an inanimate object is personified, by attributing human traits and qualities to it, a few examples for a scary doll could be:


"The doll beckoned to me, yet I was hesitant." - because the doll's hand is not real, but it beckons you as if real.





And similes are VERY easy. You take a feature of the doll and compare it to anything else using "like" or "as." Like this:


"It's eyes were like that of a cat about to pounce and it's porcelain skin was as cold as ice." - because your comparing her eyes to a cats eyes and her skin to ice.
