Some refer to thier insiders as troops, flocks or company but we prefer to use family because that's how we work together. We have Littles, Middles, Teens and Bigs. Each of the Littles and Middles is teamed up with a Teen and Big (adult alter). Because our system is fairly large with many young alters we have found that it helps to have designated helpers for the younger ones inorder for us to function. We have some littles that frighten easy so there is always someone bigger to comfort them so that it doesn't disrrupt the rest of the system. We try to give different ones time to do what they like so that none have to "steal" time. For instance we make time for littles to color or make puzzles and some of the older ones have time to do hobbies they like. We have done work on discovering their different strengths so we know who to call on when we are in need. This is all a part of cooperation or co-existing which is what we have chosen to do at this time.

Jewel's name was changed from "little b*tch" -she endured the early verbal abuse from our mother. Jewel is usally very quiet and has only recently begun talking to others besides Lilbit.
Lilbit endured the early physical abuse from our mother. He is very protective of Jewel. In the last few months he has been changing alot because of feeling more safe. Like Hope he is outgoing and hyper and is at the point where he tests limits alot.

SWEET NOBODY- 6 yrs old Used to be called "Nobody" but she is somebody to us so we call her "Sweet" or "Sweet N". She has a hard time with Fridays and full moons. When she is upset she can keep us up all night until it is daylight out.
BUNNY-around 5 yrs old She is afraid of loud noises. Dishes and pans being banged around upset her from the times at night she would hear our mother throwing dishes at our father. When she first came out of hiding all she would say was "I'm not here" because that is what she always said. It was actually Hope who named her Bunny because she was like a scared bunny rabbit.
JIMMY- 7 yrs old He has not talked at this point. He has trouble with food- very suspicious of it. If it taste funny to him he spits it out or makes us gag. At times he has made us unable to eat or drink.

THE BOY- 9yrs old He doesn't talk at all but is very self harmful. Would continually bang our head against the wall, floor or fist.
