Alters

The current stable members are (With their actual selfie bar Kirk and kitten):

Me, the host. Probably the ninth or so version of me because everything keeps changing however I retain my memories. It's hard to explain. I'm nineteen, female, and the main personality. I deal with people and all that. I have 2 cats, a dog, and a horse. I spend most of my time with my pets, or my boyfriend.

Then there's the little one. We don't know her name other than we call her little one, and she refuses to answer to anything else. She's been around the longest. She's five. She likes crafts, watching cartoons, her (200+ collection!) stuffies, and "1 flavour sandwhices". (Just jam,just cheese etc. Jam is her fave, but they have to be cut in squares).

There is another little too, however all she seems to do is take tantrums and not speak to anyone. If you can't figure out what's wrong with her it just goes on and on and on...

Next is Coraline. She's late twenties- quiet. Pretty much mute except when it comes to children. She doesn't really 'look' like anything, she's kind of just there... existing... she's the housewife. She's an exceptional cook, she likes everything to be clean and tidy. Cora also does cross-stitch and sewing. She's extremely broody. Like, e x t r e m e l y.

Kirk is the voice of reason- the intelligence of the system. He mostly keeps us sane, and he keeps to himself. Kirk notices absolutely everything. We don't really know his age, but we assume late twenties early thirties. Kirk drives. None of us have the attention span or ability to not freak out at oncoming traffic. He loves soduko. Sudoku. The box numbers....

'Pear' is next. It's Pièrre, but if we call them anything other than Pear, little one will tantrum. Pear will not speak. To anyone. Pear likes to draw, although she only draws in scribbles. She deals with our schizophrenic episodes when they get too much to handle. She protects us,and is basically Self-D's babysitter.

'Self D' (Short for self destruction) is the main trauma holder. We don't know their name or anything about them. Only that they go by Self D. They're usually found crying, or drinking. They absolutely love Pear. We don't let them front much because they're big on self harm and self destruction; walking into traffic, 3am walks alone. D loves gore, true crime documentaries, and orchestral music- violins especially. You must understand that though we do our best to keep them under control we have to let them from every so often or they build up and the results are disastrous.

The rest of the system are covert, so I will use their nicknames and share what I know for convenience.

"Marc'" is your typical british teen. She will wear a full face of makeup, false eyelashes, fake tan, false nails, straightened hair. She is the only alter that will willingly drink gin or wine (🤢), and the only one that will listen to the likes of Cardi B, Stormzy, or Niki Minaj.

The weight obsessive amongst us is "Lòry." They refuse to eat, and if they do they force it back up. They will also exercise or ride Flinty (our horse!) until they're going dizzy/getting nauseous, just to ensure they've burned off calories. Very unstable. They front on the low down and we barely realise, until it's too late..

"Nicky" does nothing but make art. For hours at a time. She's always got winged eyeliner and curly hair, along with miss matched clothes. She loves her plants too and treats them like her children.

There is a non human in our ranks, too. Kitten. She will front for seconds at a time,only to stretch or to headbut something. She will let out occasional mrrps too. She's bitey and scratchy.

Lastly there is her known only as "Patricia." Patricia will do,or say anything she can to hurt you. She's an emotional, vindictive, horrible little bitch. No one likes her. She pushes everyone away. We put in a team effort to refuse her host access but she has her moments. She particularly hates our boyfriend. And I don't mean she goes crazy at him, i mean no matter how much he wants to meet her she refuses. She refuses to hurt him. We've never known her to be like this.

Get to know us...

Our system is mostly covert. This means it does it's best to keep everything a secret, including from me. The system won't share their feelings, their thoughts, opinions, and for some- even their names.

At one point there were only 4 of us, but now there are more. Most haven't shared their names- the less I know the less I can share.

In a way, I suppose I have 2 co-existing systems. The covert system, and the open system

The open system have willingly shared their names and will, if probed, share their feelings or thoughts.

The one thing that both systems have in common is they are willing to eco-conscious with me, rather than fronting on their own. That's not to say, though, that that's always the case. More often than not they will front alone.

The little ones are the exception to this and regularly make themselves known. One of them 'rides in the back', getting the rest of the system to help out; if they want crumpets but don't know quite how to make them,they ask an adultier adult to do it...

As far as I'm aware, there are a lot of us- but this is fuzzy. In order to target-communicate with the coverts,I have chosen nicknames for each of them.
