My Many Identities


The One Who Knows Everything can be found at any time of day sharing facts she has learned from hours of research. From traditional Japanese gardens to the why the days seem to get shorter as we age, this girl knows it all. If there’s anything she holds dear, its knowledge. Sometimes she will stay quiet in fear of being called a know-it-all, but she always speaks up if she’s positive about her facts. The One Who Knows Everything has a bad habit of spacing out, usually thinking of the obscure facts she has found. Her only dream is for people to come to her for advice, which she shall happily supply.

The Vampire is really only seen during long breaks and over the summer vacation. She can be found wandering the house eating food at night, and sleeping on the couch during the day. The Vampire loves staying up late and talking to her friends on Skype. She can stay up so late that sometimes she doesn't go to sleep until dawn. It would be unwise to wake her up too early as when she doesn't get enough sleep she turns into a real bloodsucker, and you’re her next meal. [If you do have to wake her up, I suggest bringing her either strawberries or tomatoes. She will accept your red offerings as a gift and it will probably save your life.] When school is close to starting up again she does get worried about not being able to adjust her sleep schedule, but it usually works out in the end. The Vampire is her happiest as far away as she can be from the ‘evil burn-y thing of heat that hangs in the sky during the day.’
The Cat can be found where new things are. She is unnaturally curious to a fault and some people believe it will be the death of her. However she will proudly exclaim that satisfaction will bring her right back round. The Cat loves experiencing new things and finding out all she can about it. She likes to believe that one day her findings will be important. Warning: when one sees The Cat, The One Who Knows Everything is soon to follow.
The Little Kid is a pure soul who loves pink and Hello Kitty. She adores having fun and seeing cute things. Sometimes she worried that people see her as too childish, but at the end of the day she knows that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. All she wants is to live in a world where everything is sweet, not sour, but even she is not naive enough to believe it could happen anywhere besides her dreams. She does not let this bring her down. The Little Kid has a very active imagination so she can go on adventures all the time. She has no rules, no schedule, and no structure in the slightest. She does know this can sometimes be a bad thing, but she honestly doesn't care.
The Woman is just as her name implies, mature and structured. She is the polar opposite of The Little Kid in almost every way. The Woman is also a very motherly figure towards those around her, specifically to the ones she is close to. She is a mother to the core and thusly can’t wait to have kids, but she also knows that it’s going to be a while before she has them. If one of her friends gets hurt or ill she gets rather worried and will do everything in her power to help. She likes to think of herself as posh and ladylike. Note: She is not to be confused with Irene Adler, who is the other ‘The Woman.’
The Trickster is known for making clever remarks akin to The Cheshire Cat and having a sense of humor that tends to the macabre. She adores poking fun at her friends with plays on words but is careful not to take it too far. When she does offended people she gets very worried and will apologize to them for days on end. The Trickster likes things just the way they are and wants them to stay the same until the day she dies. She is a rather lucrative girl and one never knows when she just might pop up for a quick jab and a spot of tea.
The Secret Keeper is just as her name implies. Once you tell her something, the words will never pass her lips unless the two of you are talking alone. From secret crushes to breaking your mother’s lamp, cheating on tests to ditching a date. You can tell The Secret Keeper anything, free of drama and free of charge. Whatever you've got, she’s heard it all. Talking to her is like confession without the religion. Just don’t be surprised if she writes a book and a character is hiding the same thing you are.
The Brownie is much like the mythical Scot and Northern English household spirit she is named after. She is very helpful and loves both cleaning and cooking, one could call her the perfect little housekeeper. All she wants and asks for in return is love and a little food. Just don’t tell her what to do and when to do it or she’ll get very upset with you. Have you ever seen an angry Brownie? Well, it isn't a pretty sight! If you do upset her, I suggest offering her lightly sugared strawberries. The Brownie does tend towards the OCD, but she does not see this as an overly bad thing.
The Devoted Girlfriend is just what she sounds like. At this point in time she has found someone [K] who she can see a future with, but she knows that they are young and it might not work out. The Devoted Girlfriend does everything she can to bring a smile to K’s face and make the other girl feel loved. She is incredibly doting and is prone to slightly overreacting to illness or injuries. Sometimes she can be strict, but she really just wants what is best for K. Once, when informed that K was feeling under the weather because of the cold, she declared that she wished she could cover her [K] in blankets, make her soup, and cuddly with her until she was feeling better.
The Fashionista was born when I was six and I remember it like it was last week. I was standing in a store when my mum walked up to me with a pair of jeans that she wanted me to try on. I had look at right in the eyes and said in a sassy six-years-old voice “Mum, I know fashion and that is no fashion.” From that moment onward The Fashionista has become a strong part of who I am. She’s not interested in the latest trends, but what will last through the ages. If happy people dress well and I want to be happy, is it not logical to want to dress well? Fashion is an expression of yourself and that is why The Fashionista is important to me.
