As many in this fandom know, those who tend toward multiple characters generally use them to better encompass the different facets of their personality. While the reason these different facets can't be fully wrapped up in one neat little package differs from person to person, generally one of the more accepted reasons is because by splitting up the different aspects, we are allowed a more simplified way to better analyze these different angles of our personalities by using the animalistic personifications to better relate to each quirk. At times, it also allows us to keep an ideal face for the world by pouring an exaggeration of all our good qualities into one body, while keeping our less than savory qualities either fully hidden, or in the background with a flawed, lesser known character. In many cases, these flaws aspects are personified as our main persona's other half, giving a 'two sides of the same coin' aspect. Again, the reasons for this differ from person to person, but the generally accepted idea is that it is far easier to praise these 'negative' qualities by having them act as a persona's protector, or what the persona can turn into in order to deter bad things from happening to them, be it on a physical, mental, or emotional level; it's generally preferred over attempting to accept that these qualities are indeed just as much mixed and mingled and apart of us as any other quality.

I myself am shamelessly guilty of this, even as I had attempted for so long to draw all characteristics and quirks into one body. While these days Munchkin is Me for the fandom, I still find other qualities preferring to remain right where they are rather than be drawn into the singular form. This is not a bad thing, as I've had to learn to accept. It just is what it is.

The Journals titled 'Character Facets' will be my attempt to analyze each of my major - and at times not so major - personas in an attempt to either share or learn more about myself. It should prove to be an interesting experiment, and I hope you'll join me for the ride.
