History

Doppel description

The Doppel of daydreaming. Its form is a Match Seller. The master of this emotion desires more power even after becoming a Magical Girl, in order to achieve more wishes. This Doppel divides its master's lifespan up into matches, and grants a "What if" wish whenever a match is lit. When the Doppel runs out of matches, the master's life is over. It is very powerful, but similar to the Doppel of Dying Wishes, it mustn't be abused, for it sacrifices one's own lifespan.

Trivia

• She bears a striking resemblance to Iroha Tamaki's doppel Giovanna. The guidebook explains that this is because of Touka being inspired by Iroha to become a magical girl and wishing to save Iroha from the fate of magical girls.
  • The guidebook furthermore states that 'its motif is a plague doctor, a swallow and a match-selling girl.'
• Her name is a reference to a work of Kenji Miyazawa. For other references to his work, see Kenji Miyazawa and Magia Record.
• Her doppel's form as a match seller is a reference to Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince", which Shitori Egumo is inspired by. The third poor person the prince asks the swallow to gift a precious gem to is a girl selling matches, but who dropped them in the gutter and ruined them.
  • It may also be a reference to The Little Matchstick Girl by Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen. The story revolves around a poor girl forced to sell matches on the cold night before New's Years. As she strikes matches to warm herself up, she sees a wonderful, warm dinner and her kindly dead grandmother, but they vanish as soon as the match burns out. Trying to stop her grandmother from leaving her, she burns an entire bundle at once. In the end, the girl freezes to death and is taken to Heaven by her grandmother.
    • This story is also thought to have inspired Ophelia.
  • In her doppel attack, she summons a bright star in the sky that rains down falling stars - Stars are often seen as symbols of hope and falling stars are said in many forms of folklore to grant wishes. However, according to The Little Match Girl, a soul goes to Heaven whenever a star falls, so it may also represent Touka's waning life.
• In Magia Archive Vol. 2, her name is written incorrectly. Rather than it saying "Pennen Nolde" in runes (PENNEN NOLDE), it instead says "Totentanz" (TOTENTANZ), the name of Mitama Yakumo's doppel.
• According to the Magia Archive Vol. 2, she was designed like a swallow with the original purpose to mislead the players into thinking that Oscars are her Familiars.
