I hope it’s okay for me to post so close to the end, if not, let me know.

What is their personality a reflection of?;;
Their personality reflects their childhood, and deep want for no one else to end up in the dark place they are in because of it.
When they were little, their parents split up, and they had to travel between two homes on a weekly basis. At one of them, they had to try to cover up the fact that their parents had split up, at the other they often had to essentially parent their siblings, and had to pretend everything was fine in public. This lead to them having a poor sense of self-value. It also probably contributed to their depression, and the sheer amounts of facades and trauma it left them with definitely was part of why they developed DID.
Throughout their childhood, they looked for temporary escapes from reality wherever possible, and ended up turning to books and music, leaving them with a sense of whimsy that surfaces whenever they feel truly comfortable.
While not fitting either of the stereotypes of depression(faking happiness all the time or always down), they still manage to come off as not all there emotionally, with days they couldn’t possibly be happier, sweeter, or nicer, while primarily experiencing days they take 20 minutes to get out of bed and are all doom and gloom. No matter what type of day their having, they still manage to make their friends happier when their down, and remind them that they are valued, cared about, wanted, and loved by someone. While those friends may question it sometimes, they don’t complain, as they understand that sometimes you need to be reminded of these things.
