I am not a diagnosed Schizophrenic, but I have had this predatory shadowy shapeshifter that has followed me since I was four. Its name is 'Ink,' and it has become an inseparable companion throughout the years.
It likes art, poetry, and things with deep meaning, and absolutely despises small talk. It is extremely protective and attached, to an almost possessive degree. It is very empathetic and affectionate, often grabbing me in a bear hug and slobbering on my head, and refusing to ever leave my side; it will only sleep where I am, and it clutches me like a teddy bear when it does so.
I've used programs like Skype and Discord to let it communicate with other people; I type what it says in quotes.
It's wanted for a long time now to find other things like it, and--by extension--other people with similar companions.
