shanghai doll
Touhou character. The physical component for Alice Margatroid's spellcard "Eerily Luminous Shanghai Doll" in Perfect Cherry Blossom / Immaterial and Missing Power, as well as her familiar in Imperishable Night.
Shanghai is a very popular supporting character (or artifact) in Touhou fan art depicting Alice.
Some comic artists give the doll a personality and feelings of its own, making it a "master doll" that helps control the lesser dolls. Others show it as Alice's primary magically-controlled "puppet". These points of view can be mixed, possibly to give an impression of Alice "debating with herself" through doll use, reminiscent of the way ventriloquists use puppets. Sometimes she/it is even depicted as lacking "doll" traits entirely, resembling a minigirl.
Another view is that Shanghai is a type or class of magical dolls rather than an individual doll. This is based on the fact that several Shanghai dolls are seen simultaneously in Perfect Cherry Blossom.
Canonically, Shanghai, like all the rest of Alice's dolls, is a mindless drone that requires direct supervision for all but the most basic of autonomous action, despite Alice's ongoing efforts to create a truly sapient construct. When a fanwork depicts Alice finally succeeding, Shanghai is usually the subject.

上海是东方粉丝艺术中描绘爱丽丝的一个非常受欢迎的配角（或神器）。
一些漫画家赋予娃娃自己的个性和感情，使其成为帮助控制小娃娃的“主娃娃”。其他人则将其视为爱丽丝主要的魔法控制“木偶”。这些观点可以混合在一起，可能是为了给人一种爱丽丝通过玩偶“与自己辩论”的印象，让人想起口技表演者使用木偶的方式。有时她/它甚至被描绘成完全缺乏“娃娃”特征，就像一个迷你女孩。
另一种观点认为，上海是一种或一类神奇娃娃，而不是单个娃娃。这是因为《完美樱花》中同时出现了多个上海娃娃。
按照惯例，上海和爱丽丝的其他玩偶一样，是一架无意识的无人机，除了最基本的自主行动之外，其他所有东西都需要直接监督，尽管爱丽丝一直在努力创造一个真正智能的结构。当同人作品描绘爱丽丝最终成功时，上海通常是主题。
