Your concept is too content-heavy and polemic in nature for my taste.

The power in mascots lies in their lack of over-specific content. With enough space you can read more into them.

Simplicity is a goal. Pedo-ken is a simple creature, not a manifesto.

Sally DeWinter standing by a door or on a path with her valise is an essential reduction to the elemental.

Alice was more specific; but the image of Alice filtered through Disney and other pop-culture references becomes less Dodgeson's LGF and more an icon.

Mascot creation is very complex. The writings of Takashi Murakami and a study of Miffy, Hello Kitty and her ilk show that simpler is better.

And I think that Annabelle is icon enough.
