## Doppel Description

"The Doppel of destruction. Its form is thundering wrath. The master of this emotion is seen by all as mild-mannered and kind. Every action or force exerted upon another object results in a "reaction", and since this Doppel is a reaction to its master's personality, it appears as rage incarnate. It will disintegrate anything that stands in its path; the more her heart yearns for peace, the more violently its rage will gush forth. It would be wise not to underestimate it just because it allows you to strike it without fighting back."
