Now this is a theory that I want to see what is your thoughts on, because I'm split on this theory.
What are your thoughts?
 
As Double features in Eliza's story mode and that won't be released on 360 for another few days, please keep all spoilers inside [ spoiler] tags.
 
So you know how Doubl's inside-out form has a left eye and no right eye in standing idle, Lamis is depicted in statues/ stained glass windows with one right eye! I think that Lamia sent Double to the Canopy Kingdom (by giving up apart of herself) to do her deeds and stuff. I could be wrong about which eye is which so sorry if I mess that up! :p

It's a maybe.
 
Double has a left eye but no right.
Lamia/Mother has a right eye but no left.
Annie has a left eye but no right.
Sagat has Annie's right eye.
Double is Annie a remote parasite. (?)
 
After Eliza's story mode, I just kind of figured Double WAS Lamia. When Eliza calls in Double she even refers to her as "Lamia!" or when Double switches in with Eliza, Eliza will say "Lost your touch~?", which could imply that Double was a Queen of some sort or at least had some sort of authority or power. Not to mention all of the new quotes that were added for Double that hint at this, on top of the uncanny resemblance she shares to Lamia (Blonde hair, a five pronged crown, and the same body-figure.). When Double faces Eliza now, she constantly references the fact that Eliza killed HER family.

"My family shall be avenged...", "I SHALL BE AVENGED!!", these quotes, along with many others, are key points to this theory, Aeon and Venus are both the daughters of Lamia, in Eliza's story mode Double loses all of what she had been known for in terms of her personality in the sense that she was always a calm, cold, emotionless monster who only cared about serving the Trinity. But, when she confronted Eliza, she was completely emotionally distraught, which was very unlike her. Double then goes on to say that her daughters were killed by Sekhmet, all the while taking the form of the statue of the Trinity that we see in the Grand Cathedral. This all hints at the fact that Double herself was in fact Lamia the whole time.

One more interesting quote is when Double is beaten by Eliza now, she says "My... Revenge...". This clearly means Double/Lamia is trying to avenge her daughters, and herself. This can also be the reason why Double/Lamia is roaming on Earth disguised as a nun, if Double/Lamia operated as a Divine Trinity, then losing the other two members (Aeon and Venus.) would make the Trinity less powerful. Maybe Lamia is forced to remain on Earth because of the fact that her Trinity was broken apart by Sekhmet, which would explain why the two have such a hatred for each other.

But, I'm over-thinking it. It was just a theory I wanted to share.

I like your theory it's the same as mine
After Finals are over I might want to do a video on the theory.

I would've appreciated the criticism 7 months ago. ^^
Lol, sorry man didn't mean to come off as rude. Forgot on the Internet what's said doesn't always translate to what is intended

Nah, you didn't really come off as rude. I just forgot this thread existed and I was confused for a good 3 minutes.

Yeah, this thread kinda got lost behind the spoiler shield of Eliza's new story.

I'm also leaning towards the third option that should be on the poll: Double might be what's left of the former Skullgirl that once was the human Queen Lamia

But I caution this theory with a scene from Eliza's story:

Eliza: Skull Heart! You should have chosen a livelier host.
Skull Heart: ...I've... found... you...
Eliza: What?
Skull Heart: The Crimson... Scourge...
Skull Heart: ...NEFERU...!!
*Double tentacle lances from nowhere and rips off Eliza's right arm*
Double: Betrayer! You alone shall never be forgiven!

Skull Heart and Double speak as if they were one being.

Recent lore tidbits have the Skull Heart as the source of all parasites, so perhaps it mourns the loss of Abaddon and Khronos like Lamia mourns the loss of Venus and Aeon.
 
Here's another theory I came across on another thread that I figured I'd leave here to, perhaps, further our efforts of figuring out what exactly our favorite shapeshifting abomination truly is.

"I'd say Double is a part of Lamia that's broken off as acts as an intermediary for her will. So making her both Lamia and not. How is this?

Perhaps in her total despair from Eliza's actions, Lamia did weep and claw at her own face and a chunk of it tore off (the missing part) and that chunk of face formed into Double, the dragon of many faces.

Sounds like something in the style of old mythological tales, right?"
