Forget sand. Doris needs rich, organic, fast-draining soil. Mix 60% orchid bark or perlite with 40% potting soil. She likes to be root-bound. Do not put her in a giant pot; she wants a snug terracotta home.

The title may be a play on words regarding the "Lady of the Day,"

In contemporary indie gaming and digital culture, "Doris: Lady of the Night" often appears as a character or a mod, embodying a "witch-like" or "void-centric" lore. This version of Doris is a collector of universes, an architect of the void who reminds us that there is beauty in what is hidden. She stands as a counter-narrative to the "nuclear family" cornerstone of the 1950s. Instead of being defined by her relationship to others, this Doris is defined by her relationship to the night itself—an era of history where women are no longer "dropped from memory" but become the masters of their own narratives. Despadida, Doris - Warscapes

Doris’s world is painted in blues, purples, and the jaundiced yellow of sodium vapor lights. Her uniform varies—a trench coat, a faded housedress, a waitress’s apron—but her posture remains constant: shoulders slightly hunched, gaze directed forward but seeing inward. She is not waiting for a man or a miracle. She is waiting for dawn, that cruel eraser of her domain.
