• The original was Tina. She is in a deep coma now and we don't expect her to ever wake up. Stormy came from Tina and is our main identity. She is the one that is in charge most of the time.

  
  

  Stormie Leigh - 30 years old. Came to Stormy first due to excessive physical, verbal, sexual and emotional abuse. Stormy couldn't handle it at the age of two years old.

  
  

  DarkWolf - 34, ages with Stormy. She came to take the sexual abuse and pain associated with it away from Stormy. She pushed Stormy out and took it herself.

  
  

  Christina - 34, ages with Stormy. She is the professional. She keeps all medical records, official documents and such in order. She is the one that makes appointments for the kids and does all the official things where the "birth person" would need to be.

  
  

  Chrissy - 3, 4, 5, 6 - Can be any of these ages. She remembers the things that happened during those years. She was Stormy's main playmate during that time.

  
  

  Tia - 19. Party gal. Loves to drink and get wild. Is into everything your typical teen would be - piercings, tattoos, pop and hard rock. She is Stormy's energy basically. She is the one that shows Stormy how to have fun despite everything she has been through. She will jump in and take over when the system is getting overloaded and let some steam off.

  
  

  Sally - 40. Motherly figure, very Christian. The caregiver of Stormy. Came to her when Stormy's husband had his heart attack. Or rather, REAPPEARED because Sally used to be with us when religion was forced on Stormy in an abusive manner.

  
  

  Forbes - Male, aged in early 30's. Recently discovered to be gay. He is a smartass. He can say hurtful things and often does. His role is not clearly defined in the system as of now.

  
  

  Slone - 34, ages with Stormy. Took 99% of the physical abuse for Stormy. She never cried or showed emotion which got the body beat even harder because it would piss the adults off and they would beat until they gave in.

  
  

  Little Stormy - 11, 12, 13. Unsure what her role in the system is as of yet. She just recently evidenced. She is shy at the moment, but we suspect that will change with time. We're unsure why she came but we suspect it was to bring the memories of that age because she is *stuck* in that time frame. She is not in the present fully. She still thinks it's the 80's.

  
  

  Everyone or every fragment, alter, part, soul, whatever you want to call us, has a role to fill in the system known as Stormy. We're all here to help her in one way or another. I (Stormie Leigh), am the one that knows all the alters and am the gatekeeper. Basically I can decide who can come and go, but sometimes they slip by me without my knowledge too.

  
  

  There are other alters here that Stormy doesn't know about. These are the ones that take over and she loses time with. She hasn't met them and therefore can't share time with them.

  
  

  Stormy sees us in her mind's eye. She hears us in her head. We all talk together. We have different styles of fashion, hair, make-up, etc. It can make it hard for the body at times, but we get through it.

  
  

  Stormy can now see us in the mirror. This is still scaring her so she is avoiding mirrors as much as she can. She can talk to us better in the mirror if she would try. We don't push her though.

  
  

  We all write in a common journal that we share with our therapist. Many of us write about our memories. Stormy goes back and reads all the entries sometimes. Sometimes she won't because she doesn't want to know. We all have our own special writing style and our handwriting is all different. Stormy has learnt who is who by our handwriting. So she selects what to read and what to skip.

  
  

  Don't be afraid to ask questions. You're not going to offend us or Stormy. If we can't or don't want to answer it, we won't.

  
  

  Thanks for asking Miss CheerBaby.
