Paint Tool SAI, editing on Photoshop

After suspecting for years that something was up with Arb, I managed to pin it down to a Dissociative Identity Disorder, often called multiple personality disorder. Took about two months to get to know these six and the littles not shown, but I'm not even sure if that's all of them. Probably not. Took me long enough to get their names which all turned out to be saiyan names funnily enough. Vegetables of choice were sorrel, pepperweed, oca and purslane. Arb's own name is based on rhubarb.

The little alter synopses were really hard to write, because their text refs are around 300 words long each and summing them down to 10% of that was bound to oversimplify things. What each one appears like to other people, what other alters think about them, how they think internally, their preferences and dislikes, and their function in the system itself can't all be summed up in a little snippet. I tried to include the most relevant things.

Oh and hey, I don't have DID myself and I don't personally know anyone with it either, so forgive me for any errors in presentation. Take my perspective as someone who has read dry clinical descriptions of DID and watched a bunch of video content produced by people with DID, but never had any real contact with it. Arb is also a fictional superpowered mustelid shapeshifter, so some dramatization takes place. There are no "evil" alters.
