I'm sorry if this isn't allowed?
I did some quick research so I could better understand the mental disorder I gave Harika. I decided to also give a summary of what I found, in case someone has something to say, or so that they could also understand C: Oh! And I'm talking about multiple personality disorder, but the official name is Dissociative Identity disorder (DID). It was really interesting C:
For a brief summary, it's where one person has multiple identities (obviously). There is the main personality, and the rest. You have to understand that they do not remember each other's memories, and the identities can vary. The MP (main personality) may be a grown male, though one of the other identities may be a female child, etc.. These identities are called 'Alters'. They're called this because it's a single personality broken into pieces.
(Boop this part is just extra, because I'm extra) Keep in mind, like I said earlier, they have their own feelings, memories, and many more. Its like another person in the same body, but not. This can lead to the MP being confused about the memory gaps, but our main boyo Harika is aware of his other half because other wolves saying stuff that he never did (in the end, the healers diagnosed them. They had to tell Rika as well).
Big disclaimer: Harika's other half is NOT evil. He's literally just like any other wolf in the pack, he just so happens to be a Alter. Harika doesn't like Rika because he's afraid of the other's actions, and also because he doesn't want him to ruin his reputation.
Also I got most all of this from a youtuber called Life Noggin. It goes into more detail there C:
