Personally, I'm fine with how I look by and large. *trigger warning for bodily dysphoria* I want to be thinner, and I'm still on the fence about having boobs (I consider top surgery often; I'm typically binding my chest). I enjoy my height, I enjoy my size, and my general bodily-ness.

*and then another trigger warning for gender dysphoria* But I never used to, so I pushed all those feelings down so I wouldn't have to feel them anymore. I wanted to be a girl, I wanted to be small and cute. I wanted to be held.

And I repressed those feelings so I would never have to feel them again.

Apparently I failed.

**trigger warning for sexuality**
I am sorry you feel that way.
Several people on this board, from what I gather have the issue of gender dysphoria due to either alters or themselves not feeling like the body is the way it's supposed to be.

I believe our system as a whole is gay (lesbian) - and it doesn't come close to what you're experiencing, but I do believe our system understands not being like everyone else both in being multiple and homosexual.

He-he-he. Thank you! ; )
The little Ells sometimes say I look to be an albino nymph. Funny to hear that!
I have thought of your image by your words and I believe beauty holds true for you, as well Aicha.

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage Each alter has their own unique inner appearance and clothing-style. Swan, Owl, Sparrow and Broken have a similar appearance with blonde hair and a small nose, tiny lips and wide-set eyes (which is most similar to our body's appearance). I chose these pictures primarily due to the appearance of the face and expression, and general mood the picture portrays. Fox has red hair in a fauxhawk and Wolf and Bear usually dress more casually.

That is quite interesting doe-eyed, thank you for sharing.
Are all of your names animals with the exception of 3 of the younger ones? I've not heard of that before though we do have animals and totem animals in our system. How interesting. This whole D.I.D thing is quite new to me so I apologize if I ask offensive or so-called stupid questions. After making this I found most of my system helped me with writing down what they look like in a document for me (and probably for others as well) with good detail. How thoughtful of them, I thank them for it.

Regards,
Aicha

Greeting again,

Leo is helping me with this personal computer so I thought I would share the images we have of those in our system as well - e.g those that resemble the ones in our system as well.

Elisa's is mentioned earlier.

Hello Aicha. :D I think it's pretty common for different parts of the system to look different. We look different from each other also but we are not allowed to talk about it more than that...
In a way, I am not defined by my dissociation. In a way, I am.

Greetings Salted (I apologize, I don't know you name).

I gather it is, it's been nice reading about others experiences so I don't feel so different from the others in our life whom are not struggling with such things. Thank you for sharing what you are comfortable with.

Regards,
Aicha

Re: Greetings and a question of looks

Postby Mae the First » Thu Oct 11, 2012 11:25 pm

Hello! I too am new to this forum, but welcome nonetheless! ^^

Hm, so, looks.. I have a folder on my laptop with pictures of people who are like dead ringers for all my alters, but since they aren't my pictures, I don't feel comfortable posting them here. If I can find them again and collect the links, I'll edit my post so everyone can see!

Anyyyway. The one characteristic we all share: we all have two different-colored eyes. Not like brown and blue--just one very much lighter than the other. -shrug- Other than that, we're all different.

I, B, the core, am 19, 5'8", have short purple hair that changes quite often, and hazel-and-amber eyes. Angular jaw. Snakebites, and vertical medusa. Average to thin build, not very busty or otherwise curvy. So, this is the body we live in.

Mae is turning 22 in 17 days (oh my dog, I've got to bake her a cake and get her a gift and plan her a party), and is about 6 feet tall. Very leggy. Very thin, but almost athletic in a way. Long red hair. Green-and-seafoam eyes. Permanent scowl that sometimes curls into a smirk.

Nymph (who has been coming forth more and more in the past month, and I soon expect she'll be switching--anyway, she's been expressing distaste for her name) is 23, about 5'4".. and I suspect she believes she's stuck in the 50's, style-wise at least. She's got honey-colored hair parted to the side and waved to perfection. Dark-blue-and-teal eyes, very striking. Her nose turns up a little at the end, and her lips are a perfect little pucker. She reminds me a bit of an elf. A curvy, sexy elf who will lead you to the bedroom before you know you've even blinked.

Marjorie, the sweetie, is 14, maybe 5'3"ish? A round face, always such a charming little smile and a sparkle in her brown-and-slate eyes. Her hair is cropped short, platinum blonde and choppy. She's French, and has a very very slight accent that gets stronger if she's angry, which is very very rarely.

Alice is forever 8, forever short, forever almost in black and white, save her sapphire-blue-and-powder-blue eyes in high relief against her white skin. Her features are almost cartoon-like, her eyes giant, her mouth a tiny heart, her nose long, her black hair a perfect sheet that is never messed up. Her Victorian dresses are always elaborate, and black with white lace. She looks like a living doll.

Halfway there! @_@

Clara is 21, and about 6 feet, with wavy light blonde hair that she usually pulls back into a ponytail or bun. She wears glasses with no frames. She has green-and-jade eyes. A very angular jaw, square face shape. A little plump, but not overweight. She dresses nicely. No nonsense.

Stella is 17, and 5'8", with olive skin and dark dark brown hair down to her waist. She's stocky but agile, like a fighter.. which I suppose she is. She can be. Ugh. Anyway, Her eyes are black-and-dark-brown, and she has a long face.

Elise.. Well, she can be either 4 years old or 13, but she's usually 4. She has HUGE black-and-brown eyes, short black hair that still manages to get messy, and some squish on her belly like any little kid. She's quite hyper.

Adrienne is 16, I think perpetually, and about 5'6", with shoulder-length copper hair that's wavy but sometimes gets frizzy. She has hazel/green-and-hazel/yellow eyes. She complains they're the most boring eyes of us all. She has a sort of prominent nose, and sharp-looking eyebrows, and a small mouth. Her posture is horrible.

Tanya, we believe is around 34. She is tall, and has that color of hair that you call brown because you have to call it something--it doesn't know if it wants to be brown or blonde or dust-colored, really. She has ice-blue-and-grey eyes. Her face is diamond-shaped. Her smiles are insincere or just plain cruel. She has a very athletic build, and is quite.. well, she'd be sexy if it weren't for the whole trying-to-kill-us thing.

That's all of us. (For now? >_>)
Elyse (20), Ophelia (21), Ellie (4), Candy (13), Mae (23), Nevan (25), Marjorie (14), Georgia (27), Adam (23), Damon Black (24), Clara (25), Lily (17-25), Sammy (21), Alice (8); The Others are trying to get their lives straightened out.
Friendly hugs and ToE are fiiiiine ;3
