Doppel description
The Doppel of mistaken steps[1]. Its form is cutting. The master of this emotion fears her Doppel, as it unreservedly swings its blade to chop up everything in sight– even her precious books. Inwardly, though, she also feels a sense of release that she can’t quite describe. Unlike its ever-fearful master, the manifested Doppel chops with its guillotine without ever stopping to think. In addition to its target’s physical body, it shreds any and all magical connections they have. This Doppel can only attack physically from very close range, and sometimes slashes at its allies by mistake, so it tends to leave itself open to attack. But the master of this emotion cannot control it, and so can only remain frozen in fear.
- ↑ The term used for her Doppel's nature is "Isamiashi". It is a sumo term for when a sumo wrestler attacks too aggressively and steps out of the ring, or a Japanese idiom derived from that term, meaning to act out of impatience and recklessness despite that it probably lead to failure.
Trivia
- Her name is a word that a given name Andre with a suffix "-ana". This suffix changes the one's name into a mass noun or adjective, and is used in titles of literary works to indicate "the story about one", or as patronym, scientific name honoring one.
- Andre comes from the Greek word ἀνδρεῖος, which means "manly, brave, stubborn". Thus the name of this Doppel might means "the story of the courageous person".
- It may instead be named after Tillandsia andreana, a species of Tillandsia plants, identifiable by the wild appearance of their leaves that loosely resemble Kako's hair and their natural propensity to cling wherever they can viably grow (including telephone wires, tree branches, and bare rocks).
- What appears to be a partial English translation of the Memoria text for the Cloth Cutter Witch card is shown in the trailer for Magia Exedra Event - A Waking Dreamer After Dark. The text seems to read:
- A girl lost in the world of old books risks her life to reclaim her beloved everyday life. What her courageous heart brings forth is a reality far removed from her ideals and her own self-condemnation toyed with by fate.
