I found today this very freaky image drawn by my alter... ekhm, other me! As is still just a drawing - a creation of imagination made in free time due to probably boredom, I believe it depicts small her and big me and what worries me - I'm with the knife there! (and sad/angry)
Is this how she sees me? Some kind of demon that possessed her or whatever? I have seen some drawings of her depicting us both but... I don't know.
I know you did not have opportunity to talk with her so its hard to tell but seriously, what is that?!

Well, there could probably be many different interpretations. Obviously, the best way to figure out what it means is to ask her about it
The girl with the knife does look mad, but she's looking past the small girl. The small girl has her hands hidden, which could be interpreted as her being helpless, and it looks like the cat is hiding behind her. It doesn't have to be a scary picture... the girl with the knife could be protecting the helpless one.

I like what Canolime said.
Also some people just like knives and feel comfortable or tough and cool with them. Just like some bad looking Harley dude, who is sweet as a teddy bear.
Holding a knife could make her feel safe, feel strong, feel protected... etc...
That does not mean she would ever use it or every hurt anyone.

Somehow I like that theories

Though I don't understand why this picture would be hidden when She always keeps them open for me to look.
Yes, maybe thats not me. Who can tell, Right? For some reason I began to worry what she thinks about me. Its hard to ask for something that she probably didn't want me to see but why not to just throw this into the trash? Now I feel just dumb overreacting like that.
Maybe I want to hear more opinions about myself? Oooh shallow me

Questions and interest is good....
Maybe she wants your interest!
Just because she hid is does not mean she does not want your interest and praise. There can be so many reasons!
Don't you watch soap operas?

(a joke. I don't watch them either!)

I was actually thinking the same thing as canolime did when I saw the drawing; that it looked like the larger girl was there to protect the other one. I'd say it could be a good thing. But the best way to know for sure, of course, would be to ask her yourself and see what she says. And maybe it was hidden because she doesn't want to be depicted as helpless. She wants to be seen as strong and capable, and she doesn't want you to know how much she relies on you?
Just a theory, of course. I hope you find out soon.
And by the way; really good drawing!

Yeah, sure

Do you still have the edit button, or do you want me to edit it for you?

It's okay. The edit option goes away after a bit. I edited out the image, for you

You don't seem annoying, to me
