+
+    <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>
+      So far as we can tell, our split happened 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
+    </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
+    </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
+    </aside>
+
+    <h4 style="color:#a4ffd4">Ash <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
+    </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
+    </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
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      Rose handles most of our direct day-to-day needs such as eating, doing
+      work, and driving around to do errands
+    </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
+    </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
