What quirks do some of your alters have??

For example the charlies squeak and meow all the time. It drives me a bit batty.

V1 only speaks in present tense (which is confusing at times) and bites as a sign of affection. She's gotten better about the biting though. Now she usually just nibbles. She's also very hard to understand. Not just because of her only speaking in one tense, but she seems to get work order confused. She also repeats things a lot. I'll be at work and she'll be babbling on and on about the same thing over and over again. Sometimes it's very cute. Other times...it's not.

S3 almost never uses personal pronouns (again, this can be confusing.)

C has a weird fixation with sleeping on the floor, or occasionally in the bathtub.

They all do weird things, and I'm sure I do too. :)

It's easiest with the kids I think, hehe :)

*L (10 years old) strokes her index finger back and forth over her cheeks when she's shy.
*Aurora (2 years old) never sucks her thumb but will almost always suck the top of her hand.
* Islalin doesn't use "me", "my" or anything like that and will usually use "Isalin is.." or "Isalin does.." and occasionally (more written than in person) will use "she" in the middle of a sentence
* Anastasia's favourite places to sleep are under a Christmas tree if it has bells on it or inside cupboards.
* I stroke my index finger up and down the ridge of my nose anytime I'm stressed or feel (uncomfortably) switchy.

There's probably lots more but those are off the top of my head :)

Isalin and V talk the way. She refers to herself as V or "little [animal]."

I guess a way to detach from their own traumas, but it can get confusing sometimes for sure :)
