Who are you?
<aside>(bonus system edition)</aside>
</h1>
<p>
This is a supplemental page to our main <a target="_blank" href="/about">about</a>
page - specifically for us to post in plural spaces or to use to explain
to people we trust
</p>
<h3>Origins</h3>
<p>
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>
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>
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>
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">Echo <aside>(it/?)</aside></h4>
<p>
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>
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 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>
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>
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 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
