Summary

Doppel Description

Apebis, Ebony's doppel

Doppel of Skepticism. Its Form is Vulture The master of this emotion has been forced to live a life of obedience to the king since birth. But when she realized that there were other ways to live, she was tormented by conflict. This Doppel always creates fluctuations due to such conflicts, and by flapping its wings, it spreads to the surroundings and causes confusion in the heart. The hesitation quickly expands, creating various binary oppositions such as joy and sorrow, hope and resignation, respect and contempt, and causing chaos. Finally, when it reaches a critical point, chaos overflows and takes everything with it into impermanence.

Event Appearances

Etymology

Ebony is Greek for "Deep Black Wood"

Trivia

  • Due to her name being of Greek origin, and the fact that Egypt was controlled by a Greek kingdom during the time period of her event, there is speculation that she may be Greek instead of Egyptian.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Ebony's design seems to be based upon what is worn by Egyptian deities.
    • Her head-dress being a peacock, is said to reference the sun god Ra and is also associate with the Eye of Horus
    • Her design has been seen as controversial. Due to her skin being very pale (while native Egyptians have much darker skin) and her outfit being highly sexualized and stereotypical.

Since I was a child, I have been told to devote my body and soul entirely to the Pharaoh.

I have lived my life accordingly, without the slightest hesitation. But now, the throne in front of me looks distorted

I must hide the glimpses of regret with my scarred loyalty
身も心もすべてファラオに捧げよと幼い頃から言われ続け

これまで微塵の迷いもなく、その通りに歩んできた人生 だけど、今、目の前の玉座は歪んで見える

My fate was changed a lot in this gorge

My fate was changed by the "God" I met in this gorge. I just keep on walking through the darkest valley floors

Without noticing the faint light overhead.
この谷で大きく変わってしまった私の運命

この谷で出会った“神”が変えてしまった私の運命 私はひたすらに、闇深い谷底を歩いていく

その頭上で、かすかに光が差し込んでいることに気づくことなく

Losing sight of left and right, I just keep looking forward and continue crossing the sea of sand.

When I looked back, my footprints were already blown away by the wind. No one will ever know my path again.

Yet, I look forward and never stop walking.
右も左も見失い、ただ前を向いて砂の海を渡り続ける

後ろを振り返ると、もう私の足跡は風に吹き消されていた これでもう、誰も私の道程を知ることはないだろう

それでも、私は前を向き、歩みを止めることはしない
