I'm not a system at all not, claiming to be one, and not going to say I'm a professional on this topic. But i did want to dive into this disorder because mental health is my special interest)
So, what i thought of and please correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't want to spread misinformation:
Rue is 11 years old. He suffered through severe trauma (had abusive parents) and because of that "got" Dissociative Identity Disorder, I'm going to go through some alters now:
Cutter, he is around 14-16. He thinks of Rue as more of older brother, he is the protector. He always switches at abusive situations and never lets anyone touch Rue. He split because Rue couldn't handle the stress of being hit and Cutter decided to take over to protect him. Both Cutter and Rue don't have a memory of physical abuse (just know it happened), but Cutter has the physiological memory of it.
Tess, she is the care taker. She is around 11-13. She was making sure Rue would eat and be calm. She split because when Rue was starving, she would take over and feed him whatever (trash, moldy food, whatever) so Rue wouldn't break for it. She also hums him and sings when he is stressed or before going to sleep. She usually doesn't take over completely, but does only if he is very hungry.
Fox, is the little one. He is about 5, and he is completely mute. He acts more like an animal (?), just being really clingy, but never asks for anything straight forward. He has this "fox" alter only because of his favourite plush toy that was a fox.
That was the main ones, but there are the ones that will fuse together later on in his life:
Bolt, he isn't fronting ever, but is always co-conscious. His main gaol to prevent anyone from seeing Tess or Fox.
Hollow, is the one that would be needed when Cutter can't take it anymore. Hollow doesn't feel anything completely shutting of the system and physically needs. When it would be raining for hours and they have to sit outside for nights and days, Hollow would front. He wouldn't let anyone take over, but also doesn't show up very often, usually shows up after a few days of Cutter fronting
Ledger, he is about 12 years old. He holds most of the memories of abuse. He remembers all the dates, all the trauma and when and how did it happen. He doesn't front, but does only when someone is asking about trauma. He is like Hollow both have complete dissociative amnesia, to protect Rue from remember most of the things
Echo is there just to be safe. He split only for the survival of seeing new adults. When he meets new adults, Echo is being co-conscious and using echolelia and just repeats the attitude, he is there when Rue and Cutter aren't sure of they are safe or not, but no active harm is being done
Hollow and Bolt will fuse with Cutter and Ledger and Echo will fuse with Rue
I did do some research, but if i got something unrealistic or anything, please feel free to correct me!!
(Rue doesn't know about the names or what even is going on, i said it here just to avoid confusion)
