Riddle

Although a human shape I wear, Mother I never had; And though no sense nor life I share, in finest silks I'm clad. By every miss I'm valued much, beloved and highly prized; still my cruel fate is such by boys I am often despised.

Choose an answer

A.A puppet
B.A figurine
C.A mannequin
D.A doll
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 5 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A doll

Why this is the answer

A doll has a human shape but no mother, mind, or life; girls ("misses") cherish and dress it in fine clothes, while boys traditionally tend to look down on playing with one.
