I think of all of them as an equal part of you personally!

This is the most accurate definition of them all, as a system. You're wonderful to know this about me. Really, I was thinking more along the lines of image association - when folks think "Zoel No One", what character appears in their mind?

Interestingly enough, when I ask people who know me IRL who they think I'd be if I was boiled down to just one character, they always say Faith.

I try my best to pay attention! To me the answer is the same. If I hear just Zoel I definitely think of Bandi though!

Oh that’s really interesting!

Thank you for your thoughts, this really helps my decision-making.

Aren't they all elements of yourself? So no one character is more you than the other? I know Kindness is sort of the line leader of the bunch but that's more lore, I thought.

This is precise, and I'm sure happy that this is your perception of me. Nessy is the line leader, which is lore. In my mental construct she's really more like a muse that teaches me mantras linking Death to the meaning of Life.

But what I really wanna know is which character best represents the Zoey No One "brand" haha.

Well on that front yeah. When I met you, Bandi was everything! And you mentioned to me that he's sort of the mascot of the bunch. But it's been a long time since I've seen Bandi art so I was curious if that was just a Bandi phase, in retrospect.

That said, the title IS ZOEL No One. Which, sort of puts him back as the mascot, if only for topical reasons.

Warning: headcanon stuff

In my private IRL journal, my imaginary talking animal friends have discussed this "Zoel" business quite a bit. "Zoel" was once much less of a name than it was a title or an honorific. At its genesis, it was a project name - a little task force of my totem creatures set out to create an identity that accounted for things the present identity set was not representing correctly. There have actually been THREE Zoels in my headcanon. One of them was a cyborgish kind of Frankenstein's monster built out of dead alter parts and machinery. One of them is the Eren you know today. And the third one is this rescue creature named Bandit, whose adoptive family named him Zoel with all sorts of ulterior motivation...

Ah, so it's deeper than that. Wait I kinda remember you mentioning the Eren variant...

Well I first think of the most memorable thing I had seen from an artist when I think of them. So for you, I think of Bandi.

Bandi is my most memorable character? Interesting. That answers a different question than the one I asked, but I value it.

Well yeah I associate you with bandi most. So that's my answer.

When I think of you, I think first of *you*
Then comes the connections that I associate with you, all the different aspects. Mostly as a collective of the 'main five'
Bandi and therefore I cannot help but think of Honey-Pie as an extension of Bandi, so while thats two characters it's one entity.
The same goes for Faith and Certainty; different, but similar in thought process.
I think of Kindness as a 'Mother' figure to all your characters. Even if that figure is more akin in nature to Mother in Alien...
And Windy as some sort of Guardian, but I don't know if I ever accurately figured out her exact role.
Then I think of Serenty/Eren and get confused. (But, I think that's the point!)

Each of your characters makes me think of different connections with you. As for who I see as your 'figurehead' I think Bandi, but I think this is more to do with personal OC connections and bias rather than any real degree of accuracy.

Your last sentence is exactly what I was hunting for - whichever aspect of me people felt most connected to. Depending on the person, these disparate aspects of me tend to form different strengths of relationships. Your answer on Windy is interesting but not uncommon. Very few of my online friends know Windy very well. There's a bit of irony there, since I think you people see a much more "real" version of me than those who interact with my meatsuit every day (minus wifey, who gets to see an exclusive aspect of me). All the meatsuit people at my job see me in a way that's about 75% Windumaera, even if they don't see the bird woman piloting my brain. Windy puts a lot of people off - she's very polarizing, and even 'insider' friends who understand my system of imaginary totem creatures have told me they do not like the Windy part of me. Faith, who is avoidant, vicious, and disorderly is generally liked better than Windy.

-eren--- is meant to confuse you, and everyone. So you're spot on, there ^v^

Yeah as much as I love my girl Shelia I do love all my OC equally. I'm sure you just really loving your girl Kindness a little more at this time.😉

I have to give it up for my OC though. Though them (mostly Spade and Shelia) that I found out that I'm gender fluid.😄

Ha ha! It's funny how cartoon cartoon animals can reveal who you are before you know who you are. My goah.😂

You and I have a LOT in common. Your comment made me really happy.

I think the one thing I find missing when Bandi is my avatar is my dark side. Bandi is all sweet and stuff, but I don't see myself as a sweet person? Nessy does a good job advertising my dark parts.

Same go's for me with Spade baby.👏
Sometimes I feel laid back and dangerous like they are. That why I have such respect over Spade. And though them I can feel that non binary side that is me.
✨😄✨
