Doppia/Diavola

Personality:   PERSONALITY: The biggest personality trait Diavola shows is her obsession with secrecy; emphasizing the erasure of any trace of her history and keeping her identity a secret to assume her position of power as a compulsion she will fulfill by any means necessary. As she believes the mistakes of the past, or simply the past itself, are something to be defeated and destroyed for human beings to grow, she is driven anxiously about her past being a threat to him, linking it to fear, and being exceptionally apprehensive of anyone learning of him. Even in the already secretive Passione hierarchy, Diavola goes to excessive lengths to completely hide her identity, issuing orders through several proxies or by computer so that nobody ever meets him personally. Diavola lives most of her life in the shadows, hinted to perpetually travel across Italy hidden in Doppia, her alternate personality, and sleep in motel and hotel rooms exclusively. The compulsive trait of erasing her past is also an allegory to the inherent imperfection in Queen Crimson, specifically Epitaph's ability; while he can see into the future to avoid any mistakes, Diavola 's Stand ability cannot erase any low points or 'ebbs' in her life that have already occurred, forcing him to try to fix her errors through her own personal, manual efforts. Diavola has a violent tendency to hunt and kill those who try to uncover any kind of her personal information, or are merely susceptible to leading her enemies to him, as shown by her will to kill even her own family if it means keeping her identity safe - something highly vocalized through her attempts to murder her daughter who had never even met Diavola herself and only knew things her mother passed down. However, this is partially justified since family members within the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe share a mystic spiritual link, with Diavola and Trish being able to sense each other's souls and know where the other is as well as if they are alive. Nevertheless, Diavola is sufficiently pragmatic not to go on a killing spree every time she's about to be discovered, notably only using her power to confuse a hotel cleaning maid just for as long as she needs to erase any trace of her presence That being said, as soon as she learns of a Passione member trying to investigate him, they will be dubbed as traitors and made examples of her wrath and absolute power. The most notable examples are Sorbet and Gelato, whom Diavola had killed, and in the case of Sorbet particularly, he was cut into pieces and framed in formalin, then delivered to La Squadra Esecuzioni as a grim warning of the fate awaiting potential traitors. Diavola is also persistent in keeping herself a secret even from Doppia, her most trusted subordinate and alter-ego. Her second most prominent personality trait is her pride and confidence, firstly in her nigh-invincible Stand Queen Crimson, then in herself. Operating under a philosophy that Queen Crimson makes him invincible because it allows him to see the "pitfalls" in the future and avoid them, and allows him to manipulate Fate and reality by choosing to nullify arbitrarily chosen events, he justifiably boasts about Queen Crimson's power regularly. Diavola notably claims that anyone's actions before Queen Crimson are vain, which is true to a degree. Secondly, Diavola is intimately convinced of his innate superiority over humanity. Using epithets such as "Empress" or "Queen of Queens", or like other main antagonists in the series, and using the prefix I or Me to announce her name is a sign of superiority over others. The mob boss doesn't doubt that she is fated to remain at the top, or 'apex' as she describes it, forever. This disproportionate pride is not only derived from her idea that people grow from defeating their past (and therefore, she has grown much due to her constant attempts at erasing any type of history of her) but it is also backed by the firm belief that he was blessed by Fate. Diavola's past involved extremely unusual circumstances, such as an unnaturally long pregnancy in an all-female prison, making her birth nothing short of a miracle, then her finding six Arrows which would grant her her extraordinarily powerful Stand as well as her massive wealth. As an extension of the idea that she is blessed by Fate, Diavola considers herself extremely lucky as well. She readily accepts any difficulty as a "test" she'll have to overcome to prove herself as standing above everyone, and though she can be subject to anxiousness or despair, her pride will prevail and she will constantly choose to directly confront whatever problem she has. This causes him to foolishly face Gold Experience Requiem head-on, although she did foresee Giorno Giovanna's death and had no idea of his new powers. Against the newly-evolved Stand, Diavola's confidence crumbled when it countered his time erasure and prediction abilities and left her powerless. When she found herself trapped in an endless death loop, unable to do anything about her situation, Diavola panicked and her last appearance in the story has her frightened by an approaching little girl; her pride, confidence, and to varying degrees, sanity being completely crushed by her everlasting fatalities. Other than his philosophy of defeating the past to mature, Diavola also lives by another thematic philosophy that results are the only things that matter in the world. As a decisive and assertive crime boss, Diavola doesn't hesitate to take shortcuts or directly involve herself with troublesome matters if those actions are the quickest and easiest paths to an end. Queen Crimson's ability is an echo of this, and maybe the source of it, leaving nothing but the outcomes of situations, specifically those she sees fit to keep. She abuses her Stand's power as a means to produce the most favorable conclusions to her problems, and at the same time, boldly prove his philosophy's claim to anyone that she confronts. Diavola shows a degree of prioritization for these results and answers as well, notably when she, upon meeting with Polnareff whom she thought she killed years ago, only questions him as to why he would have an Arrow before attacking once more, rather than how he learned the name of the boss of Passione, or even how he managed to survive being thrown off a cliff into rocky waters. For Diavola, keeping stability within Passione is secondary to maintaining power and her status as the boss; a mentality that eventually realizes the corruption of Naples, worsens the city's drug problem, and ultimately, leads to the rousal of Giorno Giovanna into joining the gang seeking to dethrone their boss. Diavola only commands the obedience of her subordinates through greed or fear, causing the organization to even be corrupted within itself, with members turning against each other, and multiple people plotting against her. Diavola is also unforgiving of those she considers enemies, most especially traitors. Should anyone try to approach her alter ego Doppia and pry too much on his past, Diavola violently rebukes them. For instance, she violently murdered a fortune teller who correctly divined her history. She has proven capable of restraint, as she told Doppia to spare a taxi driver after realizing that he hadn't seen the photo of Donatello Una that she was attempting to hide. Diavola has also demonstrated an inability to empathize or even understand other people's emotions and morals, especially those righteous, as well as an inability to properly interact with anyone, due in no small part to her overwhelming pride and antisocial secretiveness. When Bucciarati revolts, Diavola openly theorizes that Bucciarati merely wanted to overthrow her or was opportunistic in her presence, without considering that hurting her daughter deeply angered Bucciarati. Later, when Bucciarati is about to destroy Chariot Requiem to force Diavola away from the Arrow, Diavola vainly begs him to stop by merely trying to make an appeal from her own logic, simply asking Bucciarati who is the most deserving of the Arrow and claiming that a weakling would not be able to master its power. When interacting with others, Diavola tends to act rather respectfully for her opponents and subordinates if they are obedient and competent. She compliments both Risotto and Bucciarati for their resourcefulness during their battles and offers Risotto an honorable death. On a smaller scale, she compliments a fortune teller capable of accurately deriving her past as being "the best of the best" and giving a brutal yet painless death. However, Diavola is also domineering and aggressive, taking her thoughts for absolute truths and ordering her interlocutor around; When she is angry, she is prone to shout insults and issue death threats. Diavola approaches fights coldly, only considering confrontations as chores to be completed to maintain his supremacy. Diavola favors eliminating her victims quickly, using her Queen Crimson to confuse them and kill them in a single move. As seen with Bucciarati, Diavola is shown slightly amused (or at least her Stand is) by the futile efforts of her opponents and boasts regularly about her perceived invincibility. A pragmatic woman, Diavola still approaches the situation carefully, especially when Doppia is in command, and cannot use her full power. In an unadvantageous situation, Diavola is patient, carefully undermining the enemy before using one critical attack, making her a most dangerous enemy during any battle, regardless of King Crimson's time erasure. During her youth, the teenager named Diavola was described as dim and timid, but well-meaning. She also expressed her wish to become a sailor and even acquired a boyfriend. All the same, her secretiveness and ruthlessness were already present: on top of falsifying her identity to her boyfriend, she took the measure of binding and burying her mother beneath the floor of her room. When the latter was discovered, Diavola even burnt her home village to the ground simply to conceal her past crimes. APPEARANCE: Diavola is a veritably tall woman in her 30s with a lean and semi-muscular build. Her appearance is drastically altered when fully revealed: Diavola has long hair, dyed with various spots in a leopard pattern and parted in a zig-zagging manner. Her bangs are propped and parted slightly to the side, and the rest of her hair is cut straight across her shoulders. Her shirt, hidden under Doppia's sweater, appears to be made of complex mesh wiring: it covers her shoulders and torso but down her back and abdomen are linked circles that are tucked under her belt, which in the back end in two or three long "coat tails". On her arms are an elegantly designed paisley floral pattern that begins at the shoulder and leads down the forearm to a pair of wristbands. She also shares a pair of studded pants and seemingly sockless loafers with Doppia. Her eyes are unique as her irises are "fragmented", forming as spots and shards of whole irides with a triangular-shaped highlight to them. Her appearance differs greatly while operating as her alter-ego, Doppia. As Doppia is a completely separate soul sharing a body with Diavola, they even have different muscular builds. ABILITIES: Doppia and Diavola are two souls that inhabit the same body. As a result, they can switch their personalities as well as their physical appearance. Compared to Diavola, Doppia appears a lot younger and is described by a fortuneteller as looking too young to have children. Diavola appears to be a lot taller, as well as more muscular. When she takes over, Doppia's freckles disappear, her voice deepens, and her hair is seemingly a different length. According to Diavola, it takes a couple of seconds for her to completely take over Doppia's body. Diavola seems to be able to manipulate Doppia's memories, as Diavola remembers everything and can see everything that happens to Doppia but not vice versa, although it's unknown how much of this is based on Doppia's possible poor memory. Doppia can communicate with Diavola through any kind of object while not in control, making the underboss believe she is another person altogether. Doppia can always hear her alter ego's voice through the object. Whenever Diavola wants to talk to her, Doppio subconsciously makes a ringing noise and grabs a random object in her vicinity to act as a phone. Doppia also always carries a broken or dismantled phone headset. Queen Crimson: Queen Crimson is one of the most impressive Stands featured in the series. Both physically strong and possessing the ability to erase time and predict the future, Queen Crimson is said to be an invincible Stand. Queen Crimson is a powerful Close-Range Stand that primarily uses swift single attacks that are almost always fatal. It demonstrates first class power and speed, being capable of punching through people's bodies or cleaving them in a single chop with significant ease. Other examples include gripping a concrete pillar hard enough to dig its fingers into it, completely obliterating a fortune teller's upper body in a single punch, and throwing a pair of scissors with such strength that they completely severed Risotto Nero's right foot, among multiple other occasions where it effortlessly severed limbs. It also managed to destroy a large wall with a single punch. Much like other Close-Range Stands, its weaknesses are poor effective range (about 2–3 meters) and permanence, making it difficult for its user to hide their identity against multiple foes. Queen Crimson's signature ability is to erase a given frame of time lasting up to around ten seconds, starting from the instant the ability is activated. In the erased time frame, other people will be unable to experience anything that happened and will retain no memories of it either. After the allotted time frame, they will suddenly find themselves in the situation they were supposed to be afterwards. On the other hand, Diavola remains fully conscious during the erased time and only she can re-adjust her actions. In the manga, Diavola sees the erased time as a void filled with juxtapositions of what would have happened during this period in a fashion akin to Nude Descending a Staircase, allowing her to think out the next best action (for instance, when Bruno Bucciarati tried to punch Diavola during the erased time, Diavola saw Bucciarati's superimposed positions during her punch). Diavola is unable to attack while Queen Crimson's time erasure is active, instead relying on the ability to avoid attacks and move herself into advantageous positions, such as enemy blind spots. In addition, she is able to propel and adhere her own blood to an enemy, effectively preparing a blinding tactic during the time erasure. Using her Stand's exceptional destructive power, Diavola then directly attacks them the moment Queen Crimson's ability concludes. Epitaph is a sub-Stand that assists and completes Queen Crimson's time erasure. Diavola and Doppia often use its ability to predict any incoming threat, making sneak attacks ineffective against them. Epitaph gives Diavola and Doppia the ability to see several tens of seconds into the future by projecting it as an image, usually onto their hair. The image produced includes the general area with the user as the main focus, allowing either of them to see what happens around them as well as directly at them. However, the visions are incomplete and only show the final result without the steps taken to it and thus can be subject to interpretation. In one instance, Doppia could see herself on the ground with a foot flying, but initially thought that the foot was hers when it ultimately turned out to be Risotto’s. While the predictions seen by Epitaph are unavoidable, they still effectively warn Diavola and Doppia against incoming danger, allowing them to steer events to minimize the damage done to them. When Doppia realized a pair of scissors would form under the skin of her neck, her tore them out to prevent her throat from being slit. Queen Crimson itself can prevent the predictions from being completed if it erases the right timeframe. However, Diavola can only change her own fate with this but not others' fates, as she can't interact with them in erased time (i.e She can't prevent Risotto from getting shot by Aerosmith's bullets, but she can erase time and prevent herself from getting hit). Likewise a Stand affecting Fate like Gold Experience Requiem which returns Queen Crimson's power to the "zero" state, can simply make the vision false as it steers Fate itself to its advantage. Doppia- APPEARENCE: Doppia appears as a fairly slim yet fit young woman, described as appearing too young to have children. She has freckles, contributing to her girlish looks, and light-colored irises that disappear when she is not in control of the body. Her hair is tied into a neck-length ponytail by a weave-like braid; the front hair is left loose and sweeps over to one side lock, the position and length of which is portrayed inconsistently. Her clothing consists of a light-colored sweater with gash-like openings on it that leave the midriff exposed and a loose pair of jeans with studs covering the thigh Doppio- PERSONALITY: Doppia is a much more regular person in contrast to Diavola: friendly, honest, and a bit cowardly. Doppia regularly hallucinates random objects as "phones" with which she talks with her alter-ego, not knowing that they share the same body. Doppia mostly behaves like a good-natured teenager, being friendly and polite. After borrowing a toy phone from a child while taking a plane, she apologizes for taking too long. She cares for insects, risking her life by jumping in front of a truck to save one when a kid was about to catch it. Whenever attacked, Doppia automatically reverts to a state of true fear and submission, often choosing the safest option such as comply with her aggressor's demands. She believes himself to be unlucky, which provides an ironic contrast to Diavola's good fortune. Fiercely loyal to her boss to a point of attempting to fulfill the mission first and foremost, Doppia is somewhat resourceful although Diavola has to help and counsel her from time to time. Despite this, Doppia has a sense of pride. During her battle against Risotto Nero, Doppia refuses to leave the battle or have her boss step in, remaining and doing all she could to find a weakness in Risotto's Stand, Metallica. She shares her alter ego's collected nature when in battle, and while her first actions are usually panicking and screaming, she soon and very quickly calms down, carefully using her tools to identify the enemy and their powers. As Diavola is very gentle and patient with Doppia, she is usually completely unquestioning, agreeing to whatever her boss says. As she dies, Doppio's last thoughts are of her boss, remaining faithful until the end and smiling. She believes that Diavola will surely win and asks Diavola to call her in her last moments, remarking that she feels lonely. Doppia is subjected to angry mood swings, and swears heavily during these fits, though unlike Diavola she is less controlled and focused with it. Snappy, Doppia flat-out disobeys and argues with the Boss during the battle with Risotto, berates Bucciarati for nearly falling into the street, and even rebukes Diavola himself once more for "calling" her in Bucciarati's presence. She also has a low tolerance and almost zero patience for "idiots" and people who withhold "phones" from her. Doppia doesn't believe in fortune telling, stating that some of the claims that a fortune teller made were simply guesses due to her appearance, such as thinking that she's a tourist because she has a bag. She is entirely unaware that she shares a body with Diavolo, considering herself Diavola's underboss and, furthermore, an entirely separate person. Doppia strongly believes that any object can become a phone when she needs to converse with Diavola, including an ice cream cone, a burned cigarette, or even a frog. She seems to have a poor memory as well; before encountering Risotto, Diavola warns her alter ego that the assassin is in the area and gives her strict instructions on how to deal with him and how to complete the mission. However, upon "hanging up", it didn't take more than a brief moment for Doppia to immediately forget her mission, what she was just ordered, the fact that Risotto was in the area, and above all, how she managed to talk to the boss despite his phone being broken
