Doppelgänger Info Sheet
Feb. 9th, 2015 10:20 pmWinter's doppelgänger is kind of a bitch; she's sadistic, and while she's still fairly open, she also has few to no reservations about doing basically whatever she wants. Her brain-to-mouth filter is basically completely shot, and she's interested in "helping" people that have problems their pesky morals won't let them fix. She can be sweet, but she prefers not to, unless she's running a long con; her language is quite a bit less refined than Winter's is, and her dress is significantly less conservative, preferring mini-skirts and cutoff shorts that end around her upper thigh along with tight shirts that bare one or more of her midriff and her cleavage. She's still attached at the hip to Lily, which in this case is Lily's doppelgänger, Rose; where she's concerned, the girl has no inhibitions and no sense of privacy, so it's not hard to spot the two of them together making out somewhere to pass time. She dislikes being compared to the goody-two-shoes Winter, and when she's talking to someone that doesn't know the real thing (or to another doppelgänger), she calls herself Summer, as an additional slight against her inverse.
She still has her powers, which is perhaps her most dangerous feature; when she transforms with a suspiciously-quiet Lovely Commune (by tracing H-A-T-E onto its screen, because love is for squares except where Lily's inverse is concerned), she becomes the shadow of malice, Dark Diamond. Dark Diamond's transformation looks slightly different to account for her different personality - a much deeper blue with black accents - and all her attacks work the same way but have different names. Together with Rose, she can become Super Dark Diamond, whose costume becomes a deep blue-violet with sharp black accents and a set of heart-shaped on the back colored a dark, shifting rainbow that seems to draw light in.
Dark Diamond's abilities are the same as her normal version's, with palette swaps and new names to better match tone: Eclipse Frost is a line of black ice from her fingertip; Twilight Storm calls a cloud of snow that freezes into impure ice that's hard to see through, in addition to being ice that's hard to get rid of; Dark Vortex spins a target rapidly while soaking them in freezing-cold water; and Despair Horizon has two modes (to match Diamond Blizzard) - one that encases a target in black, impure ice, and another that forms a literal cage of latticed ice around an area or target; it can optionally include her inside it. (She can use Despair Horizon to match Diamond Blizzard's other standard usage, too - encasing herself and one or more others inside a massive diamond of black ice - but that's less fun.) And, of course, with their Mirage, they have access to a modified Heartcatch Orchestra.
In the days leading up to the invasion, and over the course of the year that passed after it, Summer found herself strongly encouraged to keep herself on the straight and narrow; making problems for Winter would attract more wrath than the copy could handle. So, she bided her time, working together with the Numbered as much as she had to, and on the day of the invasion, she was as fierce as any three other people, taking a certain pleasure in the fight. That lust for combat never really went away, and Summer realized she had access to a ready source of things her minder wouldn't miss terribly if she beat up: the various pockets of organized, and disorganized, crime popping up in the wake of the invasion. She couldn't care less about doing the right thing, unless something's in it for her, but being able to exact violence and strike terror into someone is right up her alley. It has the awkward effect of making her something akin to Batman, fighting for something resembling justice, even if the logic is a little twisted. In many cases, Summer can solve through violence a problem Winter isn't readily able to solve with diplomacy, particularly Winter doesn't actually want to resort to violence. If she doesn't have that holding her back, and Winter and Summer's interests align against a single target... suffice to say there will be new glaciers on solid land that are visible from space.
