Doppel Description

The Doppel of skepticism.
Its form is a vulture.
From the moment that the master of this emotion was born, she has been forced into a life of servitude to the Pharaohs. But upon realizing that other ways of life exist, she was wracked with conflict. This Doppel continually emits fluctuations in response to that conflict, and creates doubt in the hearts of those around it as it propagates the fluctuations with its wingbeats. These doubts quickly balloon into various opposing poles– joy and sorrow, hope and resignation, veneration and contempt– thus calling forth further chaos. As this chaos reaches its breaking point and overflows, it drags everything down with it into transience and uncertainty.

懐疑のドッペル。
その姿は、ハゲワシ。
この感情の主は、生まれた時から王に臣従する人生を強いられている。しかし、それ以外の生き方があるということに気づくと、葛藤に苛まれた。このドッペルはそんな葛藤に起因して常に揺らぎを生み、それは翼を羽ばたかせることによって周囲にも伝播して心の中に迷いを生じさせる。迷いはすぐに膨れ上がり、喜びと悲しみ、希望と諦観、尊敬と侮蔑など、様々な二項を生み出しては混沌を呼ぶ。やがて臨界点を迎えると混沌は溢れかえり、すべてを無常へと連れ去っていく。

**Unique to Ebony**
This is not a sacred incense dedicated to God, but an incense that deceives and manipulates people.

Once you let it waft over the area, the place is instantly under your control. Once the sensation of smoke wafting into your head is seared into your mind,

All that remains is to surrender and let "her" guide you.

これは神に捧げる聖なる香ではなく、人を惑わせ操る香

辺り一面に漂わせれば、たちまちその場は掌中へと収まる頭の中にまで煙がたゆたうかのような感覚がひとたび刻まれれば

あとはただ、“彼女”の導きに身を委ねるしかない

Side Story

Ebony's Side Story
June of 31 BCE: Ebony is summoned by an Elder of the Met Clan to make a contract with the White Beast God to serve Cleopatra, and from that point, protect the royal family from Evil Gods and their Messengers. On the day of the ceremony, Ebony makes her wish to Kyubey for Cleopatra to have glory enough to carve her name in history. Ebony arrives in Alexandria to become Cleopatra's lady-in-waiting, and she notices increasing tension from the conflict between Cleopatra and Octavius. As dissatisfaction with the Pharaoh grows in Alexandria, Ebony discovers her magic of charming and controlling others with the smoke from her censer whilst fighting a familiar. A soldier reminds her that her survival depends on continuing to fight and serve the Pharaoh. Cleopatra recognizes Ebony’s abilities and has her use them to ensure loyalty among the citizens. After some time, Kyubey suggests Ebony abandon the dynasty to focus solely on fighting Evil Gods, but she refuses.

Powers and Abilities

Ebony wields magic that allows her to control the minds and actions of those who inhale the perfume from her censer. She frequently uses this ability to maintain obedience among the people of Egypt and to ensure Cleopatra remains highly regarded. In battle, Ebony can generate purple energy orbs from her censer, which she hurls at her enemies. She can also manipulate the perfume to create a purple fog which she can use it to conceal herself.

The wing beats of Apebis instill doubts in the hearts of those nearby, causing these doubts to spiral into intense and polarizing emotions. It also attacks by manipulating cloth to wrap its victims in linen and mummify them.

Etymology

'Ebony' denotes wood of trees of the Diospyros family. The word comes from the Ancient Egyptian hbny.

Trivia

Due to the fact that Egypt was controlled by a Greek dynasty and had close ties with the Roman Empire during the time period of her event, it's possible that her family may be Greek or Roman instead of Egyptian.
She is the sixth playable character not to have two names.
Ebony's design seems to be heavily themed around Egyptian deities.
- Her magical girl outfit resembles some of the clothing worn by Egyptian deities.
- Her Soul Gem is based on Scarab artifacts, a symbol common in Egyptian mythology, that is said to represent the god Khepri. Here, her Soul Gem takes the place of the ball (sun) the scarab holds.
- Her head-dress is a peacock, which is said to reference the sun god Ra and is also associated with the Eye of Horus. Despite her wearing several sun symbols, she is a Dark-type.
- The name of her Connect references Bennu, an Egyptian god linked with the Sun, creation, and rebirth.
- Her Magia name references Horus, the most significant god of the Egyptian pantheon and the god of kingship and the sky.
Her Doppel's name, Apebis, is a combination of Apeba (a genus of longhorn beetles, referencing scarabs and Khepri) and Anubis (the Egyptian god of mummification that takes the form of a jackal).
- Despite its name being associated with beetles and jackals, the Doppel itself takes the form of a vulture. Vultures, being carrion birds, are also associated with death. The Egyptian goddess Nekhbet, who took the form of a vulture, was a patron goddess of the city Nekheb who ultimately became the patron of Upper Egypt, and then one of two patrons for the entirety of Egypt once it was unified. In ancient Egypt, vulture crowns were protective symbols of the goddess worn by high ranking priestesses, the Great Royal Wives, and female pharaohs.
The name of her clan, the Met Clan, is an Ancient Egyptian word that means "lioness".
