Bowli-ing for Bodies

There exists a so-called figure called the 'Goddess of Games', a girl carrying great power over organized skill based activities. Her odd powers allow her to carry out a plethora of feats, from simply defeating people, to changing their natures and forging mystical objects. Bowli is one of these. Starting out as simply a sentient bowling ball, she has claimed Alice's body, transforming it to be used as a Guardian of Games, as well as to more effectively scout out those who could provide challenge/interest for her mistress.

As an enchanted bowling ball, she does suffer the same plight as all other equipment in sports: the inability to be used alone. However, her enchantment allows her to mentally control someone to act in her stead for the duration of a challenge. As such, her and her other enchanted compatriots seek out people with bodies apt for their needs, intending to defeat them at their game of expertise; for upon defeating one in such a challenge, they are capable of removing the head of that person and replacing it with their own, molding the body to fit their needs. Their victim's head then carries an enchantment, the longer the enchanted equipment controls their body, the more they become like the equipment that took their body. Should enough time pass, they will believe themselves to have always been the equipment, and simply become an oddly colored equipment trophy for the Goddess of Games, unable to be reverted, nor would they wish for such.

Bowli herself is one of the more boastful of the Goddess of Games' servants, taking pride in claiming to be the best at bowling ever (except for her master of course). She looks to beat as many opponents as possible, and would only allow one who could best both her game of perfect trick shots, as well as her ill-timed boasts and jibes to challenge her mistress. Of course with her mistress she holds the utmost admiration, incapable of resisting her orders. She looks to prove that she deserves to be the Goddess of Games' Right hand ball.

Here, Alice is stuck, without her body, helpless, and succumbing to both the enchantment as well as the jibes of Bowli, she is beginning to lose her grip on herself, and beginning think of herself as a bowling ball.  Can Alice be saved by her biggest admirer, or will she experience the bliss of being a bowling ball forever?

All in all, I had an enjoyable time developing this from its core; I really enjoy the design that came out of it, almost to the point of making her a permanent thing~
