puppet's
Belonging to ventriloquist's figure
Puppet's is the possessive form of puppet—a figure manipulated by strings, rods, or a hand inside it.
It indicates something belonging to or associated with a puppet: the puppet's strings, the puppet's mouth.
In figurative uses about controlled people or governments, it works the same way: The puppet's handlers pulled every string.
