Well BT if the Doll is the one from Bloodborne you're referring too, it's the acquisition of Insight (which is rendered down to Eldrich Knowledge or even simple knowledge) that allows her to awaken. As I assume you're also referring to the Oedon/Doll theory that is one of the crucial evidences of it being true, as Oedon is an old one made of pure energy and the most worshipped, so it would take very little Insight for it to interact using the Doll without inflicting Frenzy.

It's actually my reading of Oedon's lore from its Rune and that theory that helped me make Mnemonia and a good chunk of my story, mixed with a dash of Dark Souls and a bit of Dragon's Dogma at the time.
