How about a competition-driver who claims his Ferrari wants to race?
Or a violinist who claims her 100 year old
Stradivarius wants to be played?
It's not about violence, but the fact that when an object was created for a single, specific purpose, the user can feel like that the object wants to fulfill its destiny. (A destiny forced upon by human hands, but a destiny none the less.)
Her doll was created for combat, not for hugging. Every part of its body was built for the Layer. As such, a person who knows that, who feels that, will be compelled to say the doll wants to fight.
By the way, Hikaru as a doll was different, as she was created with no such competitive spirit in mind. The creator wanted a very cool doll that projects the image of herself.
