This is a supplemental page to our main about page - specifically for us to post in plural spaces or to use to explain to people we trust
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
