How much do others influence your dolls' personalities?

oh, lol..... of course I completely forgot to mention in my previous post that some of my dolls are character dolls based on characters from books/anime/video games. So those dolls are almost completely influenced by the original creator's version of the character.

If we aren't counting the doll making his or her own personality, not really. Akane decided to be quite different from who I originally planned him to be, but he was still Akane. He just became the other version that I played with when I was bored, and through him, that Akane became his own character.
Kharis is Kharis. He became what I expected him to be after some time.

I've had people try to tell me who and what my dolls are. <__< However, in the end, it is my decision... or Khar's... or Akane's.

To me it doesn't matter what other people think about my doll. Just like what other people say doesn't affect who I am or what I stand for, It doesn't affect the personality I want for my doll.

not much >_<; probably cause I'm the only one into dolls and because I always make up crazy stories before buying them.
But if anyone were to tell me something about some of my dolls, I can easily see myself being swayed by their opinion
