<h3>Origins</h3>
<p>
So far as we can tell, our split happened near the end of February 2023,
We became aware of our plurality near the end of February 2023,
on the day we received news of a family member's death. The part of us
now known as Dawn got overwhelmed, and withdrew from consciousness to
recover
</p>
<p>
Her part of the brain had been the primary driver for some time, so the
shock of abruptly losing her presence split what remained into two.
One of those (now Rose) set about making sure the body was cared
for and that our work constraints were satisfied for the day, and the
other (now Ash) started to try and make sense of what had happened to our
mind
The shock of abruptly losing her presence made the differences between
our other two memebers rather apparent. One of those (now Rose) set
about making sure the body was cared for and that our work constraints
were satisfied for the day, and the other (now Echo) started to try and
make sense of what was going on
</p>
<p>
Since that initial shock, we have started to blend again. While there is
still separation between parts, we share a single point of consciousness,
and generally work together in something of an approximation of how we
were before. Still kind of exploring what our new normal is, and whether
things will change more from here
The members of our system are split along lines that make us inclined
to belive our system been around for a while before we became aware of it.
However, beyond a few months the most we can really do is guess, so we
will not describe that here
</p>
<h3>Introductions</h3>
<aside>
<strong>Note:</strong>
We are three, but it is rare for any of us to be entirely absent. As
such we commonly do not distinguish who is primarily active/speaking
except with our partners and close friends, or unless it becomes
otherwise necessary
Because we share memory (and are usually co-conscious), we tend to present
as if we were one individual. We do not commonly distinguish who is
primarily active or speaking, except with our partners and close friends,
or unless it becomes otherwise necessary
</aside>
<h4 style="color:#a4ffd4">Ash <aside>(it/?)</aside></h4>
<h4 style="color:#a4ffd4">Echo <aside>(it/?)</aside></h4>
<p>
The self-styled "librarian" of the system, Ash is the part of us that
has taken on the bulk of the observation, journaling, and thinking
through ramifications of what happened since our split. It has best
connection to memory of all of us, and seems to have ended up with
most of the inclination for tradition and faith as well
The self-styled "librarian" of the system, Echo is the part of us that
has the best connection to memory of all of us, and enjoys getting lost
in categorizing and considering new information. It seems to have ended
up with most of the inclination for tradition and faith as well
</p>
<p>
Ash was also the likely source of our names, as its early observations of
'how many distinct parts of us are there, what do they all do' were made
significantly easier by naming us
Echo likes reading, learning, sharing what it has learned, and cuddling
with those close to us. It speaks excitedly and earnestly, and loves
making new friends
</p>
<h4 style="color:#ff6b79">Rose <aside>(they/them)</aside></h4>
<p>
As primary decision maker and the one who ended up with most of our skill
in coding / abstract thinking, if you were to ask "hey who's most present"
at any random time during the day it's probably them. Rose also seems
to carry most of our skills for writing
As primary decision maker and the part who ended up with most of our skill
in coding, Rose tends to be fronting most of the time if we have work to
do. Rose is efficient in their work, tending to focus on understanding
just enough for the topic at hand - culling information and distractions
that aren't necessary and quickly traversing ideas to get at what they
need
</p>
<p>
Rose handles most of our direct day-to-day needs such as eating, doing
work, and driving around to do errands
In conversation Rose will be direct and to the point, sometimes coming
across as rude. But if they decide to focus their attention on you, then
their full personality comes out much more clearly. They can be
sarcastic, witty, and caring to a fault
</p>
<h4 style="color:#d8b8ff">Dawn <aside>(she/her)</aside></h4>
<p>
The emotional core of our system, Dawn is the part who kept most of the
connection to our relationships. She is the girlfriend, the parent, and
the daughter. She is also the part that shouldered most of our grief,
both leading up to our split and since then
Our poet and performer, Dawn is the part of us who is most practiced at
managing our outside appearance and presentation. She helps us navigate
social situations, carries out most of our IRL conversations, and is the
one with the most grasp of language and rhythm
</p>
<p>
Dawn is also the one who carries out most of our conversations, although
as mentioned before if we have enough time to put much thought into a
message (rather than just treating it the same as speaking) Rose takes
care of that
Dawn enjoys singing, writing poetry, and storytelling. She has the
strongest connection to our dreams and emotions, and enjoys coalescing
those feelings down to their purest expression. Outwardly Dawn is
cheerful and pleasant, although when speaking on matters of importance
she speaks carefully, with a lot of emphasis on the selection of each word
