I AM / WE ARE:

Evelyn

An Amalgam

She/Her He/Him

My color is blue. Sometimes light, sometimes dark. (We each tend to use different colors for our personal note taking, and we do have different favorites with a bit of overlap.)

Like most of the alters comfortable with She/Her, I feel like the most “correct” name for me is our legal name, but we consider the legal name as belonging to all of us (and having each other go by different spellings of the same name eventually got annoying for us). “Evelyn” is in tribute both to Evelyn from The Mummy for being a character I looked up to in the adventure that meant so much to several of me, and Evelyn from Everything Everywhere All At Once for helping me understand how to voluntarily give up the “front”/driver’s seat and for helping me understand that we’re all the same but in different universes, in a certain sense -- some live in a universe/timeline where certain things happened, others live in one where those things didn’t happen, so we all grew to be different selves. I was our main driver (or “host”) from about age 13 to 30. The reason we as a person are still alive is because Ignatius and I have been in love with each other since we were in middle school.

Ignatius

Undead Mummy

He/Him

My color is green, especially dark green.

It’s a long story. I do not consider myself an age slider, I am aware that I am an adult at all times, however, sometimes my needs align more with an adult, and sometimes they align more with a small child (example: I’ve rediscovered crayons; that in itself isn’t necessarily childish, but they bring an intense sense of safety from back then). I wanted to hide what happened when we were small, and I did. I did it so well that for many years, I forgot it myself. During that time, despite knowing I was somehow an inhabitant of our body (it doesn't always feel like it), I believed I was Imhotep from The Mummy 1999. This character aligned with too many things too well. A perfect cover to help me forget what really was. I am obviously not a fictional character, and I no longer go by that name. Everyone told Evelyn that I would fade away when she didn't need me anymore and I am still dealing with the shock of being real, which is often equally disorienting as being "not real" was, but there are good moments, too. Frogs are the best plague.

Cordelia

Mermaid

She/Her

My color is sea foam green. (I’m also fond of bright sunny yellow, aquamarine blue, and coral pink.)

I’m a mermaid! Not literally. I am an intentionally whimsical woman in her 30s. But, for fun, I am a mermaid. I’m here because of how everyone else survived up to this point, and I appreciate and love my others dearly. I am the adult that helps when some of my others have the need for a caretaker. I hope to help all of me find inspiration and motivation to be creative to our heart’s content. I abruptly began existing in September 2025 due to “adult” life concerns becoming too overwhelming for many of me to handle as, simultaneously, Evelyn remembered something painful and didn’t have the mental/emotional capacity to “drive”.

Zyler

Shapeshifter (Maybe ex-shapeshifter? To be determined!)

He/Him It/Its

My color is dirty blonde (dark yellow), sometimes also mint green.

Hedonist and #1 sex enjoyer! I also want to do drag, and this is part of my drag name, Zyler Phone (yes, it’s a xylophone pun-- debating, if I ever do actually get to do drag, spell it Zyler, Xyler, or XXXyler? Hmm...). I helped orchestrate some massive internal changes recently (most of 2025), they were necessary.

Julian

Metal 🤘

He/Him

My color is titanium (metallic, silver, etc), sometimes paired with red.

I was caught in believing I was an emotionless machine for an indeterminate amount of years, during which I suffered from anhedonia. It begun as a protective measure. Zyler knew of a way to rewire my head, or put more simply, shift what I believed myself to be. Now, I’m just a guy. The issue I became a robot over is still present in my/our life (family).

Sadie

Velociraptor

She/Her

My color is amber (for crayons/colored pencils/pens, when needed, I err towards brown)

I prefer to communicate in raptor squeaks and squawks (Real Velociraptors were turkey-sized! And birds are dinosaurs!), but I can talk, too.

Mitzi

Magical Girl

She/Her

My color is pink, specifically loud, bright pink (hot pink, magenta, fuchsia, etc).

I was suicidal for 18 years, from age 12 to age 30. I also had a hard time believing I wasn’t still 12 for a long time. Things still suck, but I feel better now! I love manga and anime, and I’ve had strong political opinions ever since first grade, when I said I wanted to be President when I grew up.

Hannah

Werewolf

She/Her

My color is white, sometimes paired with black and/or red.

I figured out that we have DID from watching Psycho in high school, which is a trauma in itself honestly. I love movies, but they’ve hurt me very personally (me and every person with DID). I spent years trying to bully myself out of “being crazy,” trying to “stop being crazy” by ignoring my other selves because I thought if I just tried hard enough I’d make it all go away (and for a while, I thought I did), fearing that one day I would hurt or kill people and not remember it (which is why I’m a werewolf), fully convinced that I would die alone if anyone knew what was happening in my head. I feared and hated myself for so many years. Fuck Hollywood’s “fascination” with portraying people with DID (or schizophrenia!) as serial killers and causing real-life harm through increasing stigma.

Kerri

Obviously Not Telekinetic

She/Her He/Him

My color is black. Yes, I dress goth.

So, about Hannah’s fear… I’m the “killer alter,” which is a title I’d like to embrace humorously and still resent if you take seriously. I have never actually killed anyone and I don’t actually want to kill anyone. I began existing when my other selves were overwhelmed and terrified that killing in self-defense might be necessary, so it was my job to be prepared to do that. I never actually had to, because the parent that was allowing that person to live with them finally broke up with them and kicked them out. So after that, for years and years, I’d usually end up forced into fronting/driving to DO THE FUCKING DISHES! But my others have been better about that, they’ve found out how to stay at front when they initiate chores a good amount of the time. But yeah, before, I got forced out anytime there was a non-sexual physical task that the rest of me didn’t want to do (dishes, working out, tidying up our room—weirdly I’ve kind of gotten into tidying up because I’m fucking tired of shit being a mess), and it fucking sucked. A DIFFERENT ONE OF ME EDITED THIS SO I DIDN’T SAY TOO MUCH DETAIL ABOUT TRAUMATIC SHIT IN MY INTRO AND I DON’T LIKE SOME OF MY WORDS BEING CHANGED! But I get it. Anyway, fuck ya life, bing bong.

Clementine

Big Cat Lady

She/Her

My color is orange! I’m also fond of cheetah print.

I spent years afraid that I was a fictional character with a horrible fate, and it was terrifying. Cognitive processing therapy was very helpful at the time. I’m trying my best, but things have been difficult lately, with the world being like it is. I love big cats and writing.

Zack

Cat Guy

He/Him

My color is turquoise!

Basically a keyboard cat! I’m apparently our dedicated work alter, I started existing mid-2025 about the same time Nadia did and I’m guessing it was to balance things out so we could continue functioning well enough to remain employed. I’m a fan of a particular SFW furry webcomic, kind of seeking more hobbies too. Our life used to feel totally detached from me, and reading over personal writing about our childhood used to be pretty distressing for me! But I think that’s getting better lately. Then again, everyone forgot I was still here and wondered how we were still getting good work performance reviews when none of them feel present, or if they end up around during work, they don’t feel like their heads are really in it, and it’s like, hey, I’m right here (it’s all good lol)! Anyway, not to sound lame, but I actually enjoy our job. It’s pretty sweet. But it’s also a secret, at least to this blog!

Spike

Hedgehog, sort of

He/Him

My color is burgundy/maroon/oxblood/very dark, brownish red.

I started as a Shadow the Hedgehog fictive and I’d really like to not be triggered by certain things related to Shadow the Hedgehog anymore, so I’m trying a different name. I split off because of a traumatic situation that occurred during late December 2024 through early January 2025, during which the Sonic 3 film was in theaters and was obviously comforting (and the onscreen hedgehog felt the way I felt about the world). I very much understand that I am not a literal cartoon hedgehog, I’ve always understood that, but the short bit in which my mental perception of how I should look/what species I should be and my body didn’t match was a hell of a drug, so to speak. (For reference, I was 30 fucking years old when this happened! 30 and just married! Fuck.)

Nadia

A real life person, occasionally a kraken or a rat or a mix of the two in our head, depressed but also enraged

She/Her

My color is gray.

If the fascism ends, by the time it does, global warming will be killing us off. How do you expect me to feel?

Violet

Purple Princess

She/Her

My color is purple!!!

Our youngest alter, and as we recently discovered, apparently an introject of our mother that took on a life of her own over time. Of course, attached to mom. Loves princesses, magic, and the color purple.

Sam

Game Boy

He/Him

My color is red

Our second youngest alter (occasionally age slides a little bit older), and as we recently discovered, apparently an introject of our father that took on a life of his own over time. Of course, attached to dad. A couple of Sam’s favorite things are Pokemon and the movie Sandlot. Used to make sure we would take turns on video games when we were small.
