Magia Record - Doppel encyclopedia translations (OG series & spinoffs)
Since my original witch encyclopedia post has become very long, I’ve decided to split up the Doppels into their own dedicated posts. This is the post for the OG series cast, as well as the casts of spinoffs and franchise crossovers.
-Doppels for Arc 1 main cast -Doppels for the majority of the supporting cast -Doppels for characters related to Arc 2 -Enemy encyclopedia for Arc 2
KRIEMHILD GRETCHEN (Master: Madoka Kaname)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is salvation. The master of this emotion attempts to save all things in creation. This Doppel resembles a giant, floating Soul Gem. When it appears, everything around it is pulled into the interior of the substance it produces, and is thereby rendered helpless. Thereafter, the Doppel surfaces dramatically, shines, and embraces all of its surroundings in arrows of light. Throughout all this, the emotion's master sleeps continuously within the giant Soul Gem.
KRIEMHILD GRETCHEN (Master: Madoka Kaname (formal wear ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is a New Year's congratulation. Within the Doppel's interior, the master of this emotion turns her thoughts toward the new year that's about to begin. This Doppel concentrates all the wishes made over the past year into this one moment, and bestows them upon its target as a merciful blessing. The sheer scale of the wishes dreamed of by this Doppel, a being alive for just a fraction of a moment, are sure to equally crush every creature on Earth, a planet that has prospered over many billions of years.
KRIEMHILD GRETCHEN (Master: Madoka-senpai)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is expulsion. The master of this emotion is identified as a foreign substance by her Doppel, and is mercilessly ejected from it. Having been separated from the representation of her emotions, only memories linger in its former master's mind. But as she relishes those memories, they exude a new wave of emotion-- and its charmingly quirky voice will surely mow down every enemy that she can see down below.
KRIEMHILD GRETCHEN (Master: Madoka Kaname (swimsuit ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is salvation. The master of this emotion is en route to a summer resort, her heart aflutter at the thought of all the rare experiences that one can only enjoy during this brief window. This has affected her Doppel's appearance as well, but because its master struggles to visualize what the resort will actually be like, the Doppel's body has transformed into a serving of special fruit ice cream. Everything in the vicinity that this Doppel absorbs will be bathed fairly and evenly in cold syrup and fruit. Though they experience freezing cold as a result, it's said that enduring the cold will lead to both salvation, and the ability to exalt the glories of any summer one could have. Throughout this, the emotion's master dreams of eating delicious fruit ice cream as she sleeps.
HOMULILLY (Master: Homura Akemi (glasses ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of closed circuits. Its form is the near shore. The master of this emotion leaps through time, cycling through countless bouts of trial and error. As she continually accumulates karma, she and her Doppel have almost entirely fused together. Her skin becomes glass, her expression is frozen like a doll's, and she stoically continues attacking until her target falls silent. Even compared to other Puella Magi, it's far too witch-like of a sight. In addition to manipulating time sand, this Doppel can extract information of low importance from the alien creature sitting on its hat, and solidify time sand into a replica of any weapon that exists on Earth.
HOMULILLY (Master: Homura Akemi (swimsuit ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of closed circuits. Its form is the near shore. In the midst of her trial-and-error journey through time, the master of this emotion made her way to this beach. Perhaps because she's hopped up on the warm summer sun, her Doppel's form is far more vacation-esque. With the mysterious techniques accessed from the alien creature secured on her sunhat, she can generate a palm tree that fires volleys of coconuts. Being struck with supersonic coconuts would devastate any witch to begin with, but since the game mechanics mean her Doppel's attacks are guaranteed to hit, anyone who finds themself in her crosshairs should pretty much just give up. For some reason, the palm tree also boasts a very high accuracy rate, and to be frank, it allows her to target a single enemy much more carefully and stubbornly than usual. Please think of this as a positive change.
HOMULILLY (Master: Homura Akemi)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of karma. Its form is the near shore. The master of this emotion traverses many worlds in search of an exit, weaving together vast threads of fate in the process. Almost her entire body has turned to glass, and serving behind her are 14 incomplete bodies born from her emotions. These 14 bodies eliminate obstacles in a businesslike manner to help their master achieve her goals. They diligently knit together more and more threads of fate regardless of their master's will, and this intricately-tangled fate will likely drive their master into a labyrinth that is even more difficult to escape. These emotions do not yet have names to describe them.
HOMULILLY (Master: Homura Akemi (formal wear ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of karma. Its form is a treasure ship. The master of this emotion turns her thoughts towards the lost, shining light that she left behind in the previous year. The 7 bodies carried by the treasure ship are residue born from the emotions that their master attempted to sever upon departing for the new year. Their expressions, however, have been painted over by their master's regret, rendering the original emotions impossible to discern. This Doppel struggles to bear the weight of its master's regret, and crushes its enemies by flinging it away, ship and all. The brighter she perceives the new year's sunrise to be, the heavier her regret becomes, so the 7 bodies wear glasses to avoid being blinded by the morning glow.
OKTAVIA VON SECKENDORFF (Master: Sayaka Miki)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of romantic yearning. Its form is a mermaid. The master of this emotion was anguished by love, as many her age are, and chose a fate too cruel to fully bear on one's own. Her Doppel, too, dreams of love as it swims freely through the air, producing sound from its hollow body for its master's sake. It can even attack by using its sound waves to fling and manipulate countless swords, but as long as its master continues to use this Doppel, she may well be unable to escape the discontent that she feels deep in her chest.
OKTAVIA VON SECKENDORFF (Master: Sayaka Miki (formal wear ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of romantic yearning. Its form is a mermaid. Though the master of this emotion has been anguished by love all the way to the year's end, she's positively delighted by this opportunity to don her favorite formal wear. Even so, the unease borne out of her unchanging love still lurks within her heart, quietly tormenting its master. Her Doppel has been just as lovesick, but when clad in these auspicious symbols, its confidence soars. Its glow practically seems to bestow good fortune and ward off disaster, and it fearlessly charges forward no matter what obstacles may lay in its path. Those crushed by its sheer force will witness the sun and Mount Fuji in their final moments, and will surely be able to put the sight into a masterful piece of brushwork.
OKTAVIA VON SECKENDORFF (Master: Sayaka Miki (surfing ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of romantic yearning. Its form is a mermaid. The master of this emotion averts her eyes from the fundamental truth that "unannounced feelings cannot reach their recipient," and continues to wait for a coincidental opportunity-- her "big wave of summer"-- to arrive. As such, this Doppel has an overabundance of free time, and begins swimming around exuberantly as soon as it's set free. Its offensive techniques are a pure combination of kinetic and potential energy, utilizing the accelerating passion of summer and the overwhelming mass of a lovesick heart to crush its enemies into dust. After the relief that accompanies this momentary expulsion of emotion, the Doppel's master will most likely continue trying to convince herself that "her ideal opportunity still hasn't arrived".
CANDELORO (Master: Mami Tomoe)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of invitation. Its form is fancy dress. The master of this emotion does not trust her Doppel, and continues fighting as per usual. This Doppel is extremely small compared to others. Combined with the fact that it's situated on its master's head, this means its master hardly ever takes notice of its presence. It's even doubtful as to whether they can communicate with each other, and so the master simply fights as normal. Nevertheless, her Doppel cheers her on. This Doppel usually seems small and unreliable, but its vines wield more than enough destructive force to pierce its enemies.
CANDELORO (Master: Holy Mami)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of worship. Its form is a halo. The master of this emotion clung to the salvation that was offered to her after her darkest night of despair, and obtained a new miracle with which to overcome the fear and anxiety she would have otherwise found unbearable. Thanks to this change in its master's mentality, this frail Doppel's form has been altered from what it once was, and it wishes to save its master as she saves others in kind. Its "Tiro Saint-Doppelion" is a cannon salute that announces new hope to heartbroken girls. *(Also, she named it Florence.)
CANDELORO (Master: Mami Tomoe (swimsuit ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of everlasting summer. Its form is sunny cheer. The master of this emotion is in joyously high spirits after gaining allies who she can fight alongside with. She's trying to maintain her usual degree of composure out of the desire to be a model mentor, but perhaps as an inverse reaction to this, her Doppel is unable to hide its passionate and tropical appearance. By maintaining a dangerous balance between the Doppel's unrestrained explosive power and the master's calm control over its aim, they wield unparalleled combat capabilities as a result.
OPHELIA (Master: Kyouko Sakura)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of self-abandonment. Its form is a warrior actress. The master of this emotion doesn't trust her Doppel's enigmatic power, and borrows its weapon in order to bear arms by herself. Judging by this Doppel's abilities-- manipulating mist, producing illusions, using suspicious hypnosis magic-- one may imagine that its master only sees it as a loathsome reminder of her past. Nevertheless, her Doppel holds the past regrets that she stowed away in the depths of her emotions, and despite being suspicious of it, she allows it to assist her somewhat in attacking once it's been summoned. Also, the candle holder that runs around while carrying the master appears to be a separate individual from the fluttering robe; the latter is the Doppel's main body.
(*This Doppel's JP description was initially different. According to Inu Curry, it was an in-progress draft version. "The master of this emotion doesn't trust her Doppel's suspicious power, and borrows its weapon to attack instead. Even without its weapon, however, this Doppel is adorned with a variety of craftwork, which it uses to support its master by projecting mist from its sleeves, hypnotizing enemies with the pattern on its inner lining, and so forth. The candle holder upon which its master stands is adorned with not just horse legs, but also the head of the master's younger sister. Though listless, it stands ever upright and protects its master. Should the master ever decide to exhaust everything she has, both she and her Doppel will become the flame atop the candle holder, and her sister will likely vanish along with them.")
OPHELIA (Master: Kyouko Sakura (swimsuit ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of self-abandonment. Its form is a warrior actress. The master of this emotion doesn't trust her Doppel's enigmatic power, but since she's temporarily become able to swim, she's actually on cloud nine. And though she normally views her Doppel as nothing but loathsome, it can use its hypnosis magic to project a vision of swimming freely through the sea, which transforms it into a source of elation for its master. This is also reflected in its method of attack: the Doppel has fused with a large mirror, with which its master can collect the sunlight beaming down behind her and concentrate it into a ferocious heat ray. If there is nothing left to attack, they ride away on the candle holder (now a sea turtle) and swim along with the fish.
CHARLOTTE (Master: Nagisa Momoe)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of tenacity. Its form is sweets. The master of this emotion becomes thoroughly attached to any person or thing that tugs at her heartstrings even once. Her actions may seem wretched at times, but a deep love runs through their foundation. This Doppel isn't a fusion type, but it does take the form of a mask that emerges from its host's nose and wraps around her entire face. While using this Doppel, its master sits in place without moving a muscle, as if staring fixedly at the target of her tenacious attachment.
CHARLOTTE (Master: Nagisa Momoe (Valentine’s ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of tenacity. Its form is melted chocolate. The master of this emotion always misidentifies the target of her tenacious attachment. Upon seeing a chocolate cake, she'll surrender to its luscious brown temptation and try to swallow it whole, but will find her stomach filled with milk-white no-bake cheesecake instead. This Doppel sometimes responds to its master's desire by deliberately going for the cheesecake in the first place, but on these occasions alone, it finds its stomach filled with actual baked cheesecake.
CHARLOTTE (Master: Nagisa Momoe (swimsuit ver.))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of tenacity. Its form is soda. The master of this emotion doesn't want to go back home, and is trying to create one last, great summer memory. Her Doppel resonates with its master, and wants to soak everything around it in a young, verdant summer hue. It sucks the carbonated juice that surrounds it into its mouth, then sprays it and lets it pop absolutely everywhere. Everything the juice touches practically bursts with fun: people bursting into motion, personalities bursting with joy, hairstyles bursting with individuality, et cetera. No matter what scene results from the Doppel's influence, everyone gets high on the carbonated scent, and there's nary a scream of terror or pain to be heard. Incidentally, the Doppel seems to dislike sparkler fireworks, as they seem to declare the end of summer.
SOTRIA (Master: Oriko Mikuni)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of anguish. Its form is a ballroom dance. The master of this emotion has made it her mission to change the future that she foresaw. Wind blows, flowers scatter away, and their petals wander astray into another world. As heavy mist envelops all of one's surroundings, the time comes at last. The mist blends together with the wafting petals, the curtain rises on the banquet, and this Doppel begins its dance. When the steps of its dance have reached their highest peak, all enemies vanish like a flower in a storm, and a sacrifice is offered on the ballroom floor.
SOTRIA (Master: Oriko Mikuni (ver. Final))
Tumblr media
The Doppel of anguish. Its form is a ballroom dance. The master of this emotion has made it her mission to change the future that she foresaw. Its violet rose petals are portents that carve apart any enemy set to play a role in events yet to come. As the wind blows and begins to dance, this Doppel's ball begins. The bats accompanying it are not servants, but rather partners that perform alongside the Doppel's master. When the master and her Doppel generate countless giant needles with which to skewer their target, the bats likewise slice apart the target in concert with them. Their constant rhythm produces a frenzied harmony, and as the dance floor's heat reaches its highest peak, they spur the Doppel on to dance until its roses have been scorched black.
LATRIA (Master: Kirika Kure)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of enticement. Its form is needles. The master of this emotion swears absolute loyalty to the benefactor who saved her. This Doppel's needles are hardly limited to piercing through the enemies that it confronts. They even pierce through its master's fate, sewing it into place. This represents its master's all-sacrificing loyalty to her benefactor, to whom she entrusts even her life, as well as symbolizing the peril of how its master can only maintain herself by depending on others. The sharper the needles are, the more stitches they create, and the more difficult it becomes to remove them. However, this represents nothing less than the master's dearest desire.
PISTIS (Master: Yuma Chitose)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of guidance. Its form is droplets. In opposition to her own feelings, the master of this emotion has been evaluated as "not useful." A dilemma: despite wanting to guide events in a good direction, nobody expects any such thing of her. This Doppel was born from that very dilemma. This Doppel's form is built from and maintained by intricately-intertwined emotions that she holds despite her young age... or rather, emotions that fermented because of her young age. There's a gulf between the place where her imagined, ideal self stands, and the place where she stands right now. But there's no doubt about the fact that both those places have her feet firmly planted on them.
CAROLA (Master: Kazumi)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of hunger. Its form is a black chef. The master of this emotion is very particular about food, many times moreso than other people. It doesn't matter whether its targets are Puella Magi, witches, or whatever else. It will cook anything it can get its hands on, and stuff it into its body. It's a chef born of pure appetite; a Doppel of gluttony that devours everything in its path and returns it all to nothingness. Its table is always set with countless plates. If you're seated next to it in battle, you'd better hope you don't end up on the menu yourself...
CAROLA (Master: Kazumi Subaru)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of hunger. Its form is a gourmet. The master of this emotion has become more relaxed and forward-looking, thanks to her existence being affirmed. This Doppel has become more relaxed along with her: no longer driven by pure greed towards food, it can sit back, chew that which it puts in its mouth, and enjoy the flavors fostered by the food's ingredients. That being said, it'll still cook anything it can get its hands on-- Puella Magi, witches, or whatever else-- and stuff the result into its body. But it's become more refined than it was before, and no longer sprays bits of food in the vicinity. Its table is only set with one single plate for itself.
CATERINA (Master: Umika Misaki)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of last writing. Its form is a bookworm. The master of this emotion harbors a strong desire toward linguistic self-expression and the completion of stories. Fictional tales aren't the only stories to exist. Everything in this world, across the entire expanse of creation, contains a story. And as long as those things continue to exist, their stories continue to be written. But by erasing the very existence of whatever being wove a particular tale, this Doppel brings that being's story to an end. The pen is brought to a forcible halt, and none will appear to write a continuation.
ANTONIO (Master: Kaoru Maki)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of hot-bloodedness. Its form is a minotaur. The master of this emotion bears a strong sense of responsibility, putting care of others before care for herself. Her Doppel sees defeating an opponent in battle as its own personal "goal", and until it crosses that goal line, it'll relentlessly charge forth like a fighting bull. It focuses purely and completely on its goal, without giving anything else a single glance. No matter how many blows it receives along the way, it'll never show its back to its enemy, and the blood that gushes forth from its wounds boils hot like magma. Once it passes by, a scorching trail like the mark of a branding iron will surely be left in its wake.
LA PUCELLE DE BLANCHEUR (Master: Darc)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of sacred fire. Its form is that of national salvation. The master of this emotion has a pure and good heart, free from any immorality. The countless crosses that the Doppel beckons down from the sky are no mere crosses; they're inverted crosses that symbolize the denial of divinity. All those who feel their presence shall ceaselessly disgorge their sins, be wrapped in purifying flames before one's eyes, and finally be burned away to ashes. No matter who or what stands before this Doppel, it shall find sin within them and expose it before the light of day. In short, one has no choice but to accept the full brunt of its absurd purity.
OBSCURITE (Master: Liz Hawkwood)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of obsession. Its form is a silhouette. The master of this emotion feels deeply for others, even when she herself is faced with a grave predicament. It can be said to be a law of Providence that where there is light, there is always shadow. However, it is another law of Providence that as long as something stands in the shadows, it cannot accept any light unto itself. This Doppel is a shadow, always found close by the side of a hero favored by bright light. It is like darkness itself, never allowing anyone to grasp its true nature. It is precisely because of this shadow, however, that the light's presence stands out all the more. The two of them are linked together by Providence's inseparable bond.
LA HIRE LA HIRE (Master: Melissa de Vignolles)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of disintegration. Its form is fury. The master of this emotion has a gentle disposition, and makes a good impression on everyone around her. When a force or action acts on another entity, it's pushed back by an equal and opposite "reaction". This Doppel is the very definition of an inverse reaction to its master's personality, with its fundamental nature symbolizing fury. It will beat down anything that opposes it until said opposition has disintegrated, and the more torment its master's peace-desiring heart endures, the more fiercely its power surges forth. It's completely vulnerable to continuous attack, but that's no reason to take it lightly.
EIN ROTER DRACHE (Master: Elisa Celjska)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of pride. Its form is a raging dragon. The master of this emotion holds fierce pride in the Order of the Dragon, of which she is a member. This Doppel is likewise a manifestation of that fierce pride, and represents the primal nature that burns within her like a flame. It also connotes both the sense of responsibility with which she performs her duty in the Order, and the heavy pressure that accompanies it. When this dragon reveals itself, it will surely trample and devour the battlefield, showing unparalleled strength with its tyrannical might.
CAPRICIEUX (Master: Minou)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of cruelty. Its form is a mischievious cat. The master of this emotion sets the stage of the battlefield like a conductor waving her baton. It may take the form of a cat, but the depths of its mischevious grin are unimaginably dark, and a fearsome, insanity-laden instinct hides within its furthest reaches. Its ninefold waving tails are each equipped with an implement of torture. Every time it waves its tails, the tails hunt and harm those who oppose it, and continue to do so until its victims can no longer move-- much like how a cat simply plays with its prey, rather than hunting it.
PLAISIR (Master: Corbeau)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of masochism. Its form is a moon-cawing crow. The master of this emotion rushes about in a wild, mad frenzy, and loses her mind with joy... As the physical manifestation of such unbecoming tastes, this Doppel takes the form of a crow that caws in enjoyment of the moonlit night. An aberrantly-shaped being that strikes dread in the hearts of all who see it, born from the final throes of manic revelry. Those who confront this Doppel are sure to feel terror from the very bottom of their hearts. But this is no ordinary fear-- as the sort of fear that can be engendered only by those who live their lives on Death's door, those who taste it will have their sense of self destroyed, and eventually be led to insanity.
ENFANT TERRIBLE (Master: Lapin)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of sadism. Its form is a weeping hare. The master of this emotion holds feelings of utter brutality in her heart. It may appear to be an adorable rabbit, but one must take absolute care not to lower their guard near it. In reality, it's the exact opposite of the impression its appearance may give off. Should one be captured by it, they will be overwhelmed as if caught in the fangs of a wild beast, then innocently, playfully, and most cruelly tormented. Accompanied all the while by its pure and terrifying laughter, which resounds far and wide... If one meets this fate, the only option left is to accept the fact that your luck has run out.
ISABEAU (Master: Isabeau de Bavière)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of dominion. Its form is La Reine's Twilight. The master of this emotion seeks dominion and influence ad infinitum, for as long as she exists. The curses scattered by this Doppel are themselves a death-bringing darkness to all other humans, and if bathed in these curses, those without a resistance to them will instantly vanish from existence. The joy its master derives from this sight is synonymous with purification to her. The more her surroundings are stained with despair and darkness, the brighter her Soul Gem's rhapsodic light shines.
HERMES TRISMEGISTUS (Master: Perenelle Flamel)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of alchemy. Its form is a unified god. The master of this emotion divides, refines, and synthesizes purely in accordance with her curiosity. This Doppel embodies a unified divinity born from a heart that strives to reach mysticism's highest peak, and bears the role of a messenger who links the mortal realm with realms beyond. As such, it can request intervention from higher dimensions to aid its master in times of crisis. But because its master believes that all things in nature are part of a closed Cycle, she interprets this dimensional rift as proof that the world still holds mysteries that her wisdom cannot describe. This deepens her curiosity ever further, and she often forgets to avoid the danger as a result.
CLOTHETTE (Master: Suzune Amano)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of promises. Its form is a kagerou. The master of this emotion keeps a fire within her. Its flames both burn with her desire for revenge, and symbolize the bond between her and her benefactor. But as they rage with the desire to exterminate her sworn enemy, witches, they likewise scorch their host, who is burdened with a harsh fate. The shimmering mayfly formed by these flames may well represent that very thread of its master's life. Perhaps because of this, the echoing chime of its many linked bells reaches deep into the souls of any who listen to it. Whatever it sees in the scenery wavering beyond the flames is a mystery to all but its master.
ELISE (Master: Matsuri Hinata)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of dreaming. Its form is a curtain. The master of this emotion desires a peaceful world. If one gazes at reality, they find it overflowing with things from which they'd rather avert their eyes. But if they put themselves in the hands of this Doppel, it'll pull them far away from the tragic real world. It envelopes them as if shutting out the world outside, and will eventually entice them to sleep, but the only thing that awaits them is a dream bedecked with terror. The panorama that stretches out before them will intensely disturb and destroy their mind. Nobody ever said dreams are always enjoyable... This too is reality, in the end.
RENARD (Master: Arisa Narumi)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of cowardice. Its form is arms of iron. The master of this emotion fears solitude. After being one-sidedly beaten down by those around her, she was left in a world of helpless isolation. There was nothing to do but sit there in a state of melancholy. The only way to escape was to take the opposing position-- to obtain enough strength to hit back anything the world could throw at her. This Doppel is undoubtedly a manifestation of that strength, but atop its hands sits its master's deeply-held fear of reverting to her previous solitude.
SPICA (Master: Chisato Shion)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of justice. Its form is a loudspeaker. The master of this emotion imposes upon herself the need to be right and correct. Her Doppel, which believes in the justice its master advocates, attempts to broadcast its master's voice to all the people around her via its microphone, but the magnified voice that echoes out from its various speakers is far too loud to serve as anything other than noise. Even if its master were to hypothetically order it to stop, the Doppel can't hear her over the sound of its own noise, and will not cease until all people act as they should.
ODETTE (Master: Haruka Kanade)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of exhibition. Its form is a gazing eye. The master of this emotion persistently clings to the achievement of perfection, in order to wipe clean the irreparable sin that she committed out of a fleeting whim. This Doppel searches for its master in order to bestow punishment upon her, but since its large eye cannot catch sight of the master directly below it, it is eternally unable to find the sinner it seeks. In the absence of anything else to do, it fulfills its raison-d'être by searching its vicinity for those who unconsciously bear sin of their own, and exhibiting said sin to them.
CARMEN (Master: Tsubaki Mikoto)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of avengement. Its form is a shrine gate. The master of this emotion is haunted by memories of her revenge in the form of nightmares to this day. This Doppel loathes the sworn enemy that drove its master's fate off course and stole her loved ones from her, to an even greater extent than its master herself does. Thus, it repeatedly shows past memories to her, pushing her to re-enact her revenge. Each time she enacts revenge, however, her enemy's form is obscured by clouds and fades away, thereafter tormenting her as a mere nightmare and burning further feelings of loathing into her.
(This space reserved for Kagari Hinata.)
刀 牛 (Master: Hitagi Senjougahara) *Like Tsubasa's Doppel, its name is a nonexistent kanji. In this case, it's the top-right part of 蟹, which is... even harder to write in Tumblr formatting than Tsubasa's. Oh well??
Tumblr media
The Doppel of tsundra. Its form is a weight crab. The master of this emotion cannot clearly distinguish the subject of her feelings, conducting herself in an awkard, thorny manner. This Doppel expresses its emotions in a similarly severe way: it takes the many stationery supplies that its master carries to compensate for her fading sense of presence, and turns them into weapons by increasing their weight by several hundred kilograms. In contrast to its master, this Doppel can only vaguely distinguish its original form as an Oddity. Even if the subject of its master's dormant feelings happened to be surprisingly close by, the Doppel would probably use their weight as nothing more than a simple paperweight to hold its own identity together.
咼 (“Yugamu”?) (Master: Mayoi Hachikuji)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of wandering astray. Its form is a lost cow. The master of this emotion wishes only to return to her mother's house. This Doppel, on the other hand, believes itself to be its master's true mother, and in order to protect its master from the cruel fate that awaits her, it creates many spatial vortexes in front of her to prevent her from returning home. Those unlucky enough to be caught in the vortexes will be trampled and killed by the Doppel, and will be destined to wander eternally between the realms of life and death.
袁 (“En”/“On”?) (Master: Suruga Kanbaru)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of violence. Its form is a monkey's paw. In contrast to her good-natured disposition, the master of this emotion keeps pitch-black feelings deep in the bottom of her heart. The negative emotions hidden behind its master's openly-expressed desires are taken into account by this Doppel, and it attempts to grant those wishes through violent means. This Doppel emerges by way of its master's soul temporarily yielding to her subconscious negativity; however, it is constantly attempting to catch her off guard in order to take control of her mind and body permanently. Should its master ever grow weary of this competition and be defeated by her negative emotions, she will most likely be reduced to one single devil, forever unable to return to human form.
它 (“Hebi”?) (Master: Nadeko Sengoku)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of spellbinding. Its form is a snake-cut rope. The master of this emotion wants to keep dreaming of happiness, with her unrequited feelings hidden away in her chest. This Doppel takes the form of a massive snake god, created from the long forelocks that its master grew out to prevent her heart from being known. It will fatally curse those who try to intrude upon its master's heart, by turning their own curses back upon them. It attacks by twisting its scale-covered body together like countless ropes to bind its foes. This savage method of offense is also an inverted reflection of its master's desire to tie down and possess the object of her affection.
犭苛 (Master: Tsubasa Hanekawa) *This Doppel's name is a made-up kanji, combining the radicals 犭 (from 猫 / “cat”) and 苛 (from 苛虎 / “harsh tiger”). If the kanji had an actual pronunciation, it’d be... “Ka,” maybe?
Tumblr media
The Doppel of heartache. Its form is two shadows. The master of this emotion channeled her enormous suffering into a two-bodied Doppel that serves as her own shadow. One shadow, the hindering cat, sucks away the strength of those it touches, while the other, the harsh tiger, burns everything to ash with its flames of jealousy. The two shadows are manifestations of its master's negative emotions, which she cut off in her attempt to live a perfectly correct and upright life, and are here because its master needs them. Each time she summons the two shadows, she loses another two of her precious feelings, but she is unlikely to feel any regret over that.
鬼 (“Ki”/“Oni”?) (Master: Shinobu Oshino)
Tumblr media
The Doppel of immortality. Its form is an Oddity-slayer. The master of this emotion loathes her eternal life, and desires nothing but her own death. This Doppel is the direct manifestation of the legends told about its master as the iron-blooded, hot-blooded, cold-blooded vampire, the slayer of Oddities and the master of Oddities, “Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade”. In response to its master's drive for death, this Doppel uses the demon sword “Kokorowatari” to obliterate any and all Oddities, yet the blade will never be pointed at its own master.
