Multiplicity

A large majority of Us are therian (some We suspect may be pure animal though), and obviously multiple as well. I know We're not the only system like this out there - Our SO's system and several close friends' systems also are multiple and majorly therian. I don't think multiplicity and therianthropy/otherkin have any correlation. However, I do think there are some similarities, for example some therian/otherkin who describe their "phenotype" as a somewhat separate entity from themselves, but don't claim it to be "multiple personalities". Sometimes polyweres can be similar to multiples, especially the ones whose multiple phenotypes are viewed separately instead of one hyrid creature. We're multiple, but many of Us just happen to be also therian. None of Us view Our phenotype as a separate entity - and the polyweres in here are all hybrid types - although inside most of Us can usually take either a human, animal, or anthro form. In my case I'm Ash the wolf therian, not Ash who has a wolf side. (I'll also note, I don't consider the phenotypes of other therian members of my system to be part of my phenotype.) And I think it would be that way whether or not I shared a body with others.
