Moonpaw, a newish character in Warrior Cats, is plural in canon. Her experiences are largely relatable to fans with DID and other forms of systemhood, though quite a few also see her as an allegory for intrusive thoughts and/or suicidal ideation.

Moonpaw is haunted by the ghost of her twin sister, who died only days old and seemingly latched onto Moonpaw to live vicariously through her. They exchange dialogue in Moonpaw's head, and as she gets older she finds herself struggling to make decisions and focus due to Morningkit's interference with her life. Morningkit even displays the ability to take Moonpaw's body while she's sleeping, which Moonpaw won't remember. She also has the ability to physically harm Moonpaw, and does so when Moonpaw tries to send her to the afterlife. Morningkit also holds deep resentment for Moonpaw's friends, and tries repeatedly to drive them away. She wants Moonpaw to die so they can be together without anyone in their way.

Personally, I believe Moonpaw and Morningkit to be two parts of a fantasy system. Morningkit is intended to be a spooky evil ghost baby, but if anything she reads as a little alter struggling to adjust to change and lashing out. In no world would I want the Erins intentionally writing a system, Moonpaw is almost the ideal here. Even without intent, she feels representative of real system experiences and I'm very fond of her personally, even considering her flaws.

Total Drama Revenge of the Island: Mike/Mike System

Rating: 3/4

Why they're plural: Within the show "Multiple Mike" canonically has Multiple Personality Disorder. The conflict resolves around him being unable to "Keep [his] alternate personalities under control" and the drama that happens due to other contestants not knowing about the other alters, and thinking it's all him.

Isaac Moriah from The Binding of Isaac canonically is developing Dissociative Identity Disorder at the time the game takes place, as confirmed by an AMA done on twitter by the creator.

This is also shown in-game with both the gameplay mechanic of choosing characters being very easily corelated to Isaac's religious-zealoutous upbringing that would most likely create alters based off of biblical figures and characters. Multiple endings also show that Isaac percieves a "seperated" bad/evil version of himself to cope with his abuse by compartmentalizing it, and this is shown in his drawings as well. There's probably more that can be analyzed from this but it is personally a big triggering to look into too hard for us.

(Isaac we love you.)

IDK if this has been said before, but GLaDOS from Portal 1 & 2 is canonically plural due to her personality cores, which are designed to alter her personality depending on which ones are attached to her. Each core is shown to have a personality of its own as well, but can only speak independently of her when separate. When whole, their personalities blend.

Karkat Vantas from Homestuck is canonically plural.

As in the author themself all but explicitly said as much in their director's commentary for the series, noting how the way in which Karkat talks with past and future versions of himself as if they're seperate people is rooted in similar principles to DID.

the protagonist of the game ‘Slay the Princess’ is canonically plural.

He can hear the voices of several other characters, including the narrator, which no one else can. Beyond that, depending on what choices you make in the game new headmates form. The narrator is also capable of taking control of the protagonist’s body.

Meanwhile the aforementioned princess of this game are different depending on what path you take, though they all end up merging into a semi-singular being reminiscent of a median system.
