Multiplicity

I'm Michaela, also an age slider and also one who has split at different ages. There is the 4 year old version of me, Michy (pronounced mish-ee), the 7 year old version, who also happens to be a male snow leopard (his choice after a T said he could be anything he wants!), and Michelle, the 16 year old version. I myself am 27 (the body is 33). I do sometime slide down, usually to one of my other selves, and esp. when we are dealing with something nasty. Alex or Susan can hear any of us seperately, but when I move, they do to. They are almost like shadows but they have their own opinions...usually age appropriate to them. Sometimes I have a hard time knowing what age I am because I slide without warning... argh!:)
I know many other systems with similar 'subsystems', as it were.
Hope this answers your question a bit...
