Avoiding the false proxy trap | Seth’s Blog
Sometimes, we can’t measure what we need, so we invent a proxy, something that’s much easier to measure and stands in as an approximation.
TV advertisers, for example, could never tell which viewers would be impacted by an ad, so instead, they measured how many people saw it. Or a model might not be able to measure beauty, but a bathroom scale was a handy stand in.
A business person might choose cash in the bank as a measure of his success at his craft, and a book publisher, unable to easily figure out if the right people are engaging with a book, might rely instead on a rank on a single bestseller list. One last example: the non-profit that uses money raised as a proxy for difference made.
You’ve already guessed the problem. Once you find the simple proxy and decide to make it go up, there are lots of available tactics that have nothing at all to do with improving the very thing you set out to achieve in the first place. When we fall in love with a proxy, we spend our time improving the proxy instead of focusing on our original (more important) goal instead.
Gaming the system is never the goal. The goal is the goal.

Appearance
False Proxy was said to be a veteran Quasi-Spirit of the KIlling Game and was described as a oddy, bizarre, if not creepy girl around her twenties. As a doll, she may never had a face and her entire body was made of porcelain which was covered in bandages. She also had long, messy light brown hair and wears a cyan-colored Japanese’s hospital gown.
Personality
As a doll controlled by Doll Master, False Proxy barely had any emotions besides the dolls inside of her. Like a mobile storage of dolls, she was emotionless but was a ruthless murderer who would do anything to take down her opponents and was more than willing to kill her own comrades to intercept her enemies.
History
Not much is known about the human life of False Proxy but it was theorized False Proxy was one of the many Quasi-Spirits deceived by Doll Master to participate in the Killing Game thinking she would become an official Spirit by gaining a true Angel, however, like the others, she was manipulated and killed by Doll Master. Under her captive, Proxy became a doll under the control of Doll Master and was dispatched to fight in the Killing Game as a storage unit for her dolls to manipulate the game from inside.
In the game, Proxy used the dolls to kill most of the participants and had them mutilated to death. When her identity was exposed by Empty and Kurumi Tokisaki, she tried to use Doll Master’s army to take them down and steal Kurumi’s Angel but was killed by Kurumi’s bullet during her fight against Tsuan, exploding and unleashing a squad of psychotic dolls.
Powers and Abilities
Compared to other Quasi-Spirits, False Proxy was considerably weak and depended on the dolls storage inside of her to fight. During her introduction at the classroom where the participants of the Killing Game were called, False Proxy stated to be a sixth type Quasi-Spirit, saying her Sixth genus were abilities related Sealing. However, that was a lie fabricated by Doll Master to deceive other participants of the Killing Game as her only desire was to increase the number of dolls. False Proxy is a storage mobile unit used to store and transport combat type dolls for Doll Master to control and was not a fighter herself.
