Elle from the Elle(s) graphic novels is a protogenic system!

(The protogenic part is canon. Technically the graphic novels end with her choosing to integrate/fuse, but it’s my headcanon so I say that she worked out functional multiplicity with them.)

Elle from Elle(s) is a Protogenic System!

Protogenic refers to a system which has existed from birth, has never had a noticeable singlet phase, or cannot remember their formation

[canonicallyplural]

Elle from the Elle(s) graphic novel. She literally has multiple personalities that she switches into. And the graphic novel series is about her handling starting at a new school while trying to manage being a system. Like, there is no interpretation of Elle where she is *not* plural.

Reverselle(s): Violet and Brunette double feature!

(I say, as if anyone is reading) (this rotted in my drafts for like 6 months)

For these two, the swap was easy. Makes a lot of sense too!

Here, violet is the reclusive unsocial one. She needs her space! That’s my explanation of her fortress at least. She prefers to stay alone and keep to herself to an unhealthy degree, and what could be farther than literal space? In the context of her part with all the other Elles, she is incredibly fearful of social interaction and refuses to partake. Her parents don’t like her much.

The fortress

Again, just space. Particularly a satellite, with enough to get her by. It’s not like she wants for anything else either.

And on the flip side…

Brunette! The polar opposite of violet here, because she wants nothing more than to make friends with as many people as she can. Brunette is Disney princess-ing it up in her fortress, and in her real life she confuses people by acting all happy with people the other Elles had grudges with.

The fortress

I kept things mostly the same as the original comic, it’s just the way she interacts with it is different. There’s plenty of animals for her to play with, and she can enjoy herself there as much as she pleases. Some of them are a little more hostile (she isn’t going to tame a bear) but she just sees it as an opportunity to work on her social skills.

Why are there no Elle(s) fanfics do I have to make it myself

Reverselle(s): White

So honestly he was a tricky one, mainly because we just didn’t see him much in the comic, so most of his personality here is built from scratch.

He is NOT trapped away in some far away part of the mind this time (you’ll have to wait and see who is…) and lives and takes control just the same as the others. White is the mentally strong one, meditates on his thoughts and actions. If Blue has good control over the body, then White has good control over the mind. That’s how he was able to manipulate his mental form to be more androgynous even if his physical body is more ‘vaguely feminine’. That said, he isn’t infallible. During the events of the third volume he really struggles to make sense of their situation when he usually knows what to do.

The fortress:

I’m not gonna just have him in Blue’s fortress, that would be boring. White gets his own fortress, the coast of a beach littered with shipwrecks and shrouded in fog. He lives in whichever one is most suitable at the time and is always searching for treasures and trinkets among the wreck.

Extra:

He takes Green’s role, as the best friend of the protagonist. Blue and White were both the ones to put Rose away when they saw she was a threat .

He’s also pretty close to Blue, like green was to rose.

Reverselle(s): Green

Now she’s an interesting one, and I don’t really feel like I changed all that much. She still is mute and she still lives in her swamp, the only thing I really changed is how she impacts the rest of the Elles. Here, Green is obsessed with preparation for some unknown future problem (it makes her feel safe to be ready for every contingency, since she has some issues from when they all were kidnapped). Her days are spent making sure her swamp is secure and that whatever danger is squashed immediately.

In the real world, she has a tendency to hoard and hide things, and the other Elles aren’t too thrilled to find that their stuff has gone missing because Green squirreled it away just in case. She has basically no social life, which worries her friends.

The fortress:

Yeah, she still lives in the swamp but with a few key differences. First of all she has an actual house, a treehouse, to live in. She built quite a few rudimentary structures for practical purposes, mostly storage sheds for just about everything. Food, clean water, weapons, building material, and so on.

Extra:

I think she would best be described as taking the role of Blondie, because I see blondie as blue’s ally and green as rose’s ally. And now that the roles have reversed, she’s like blondie, if it makes sense
