This is a picture I recently made after finding a new Vocaloid song on YouTube by CircusP, "Copycat." Though the song is originally about wearing different personas to please others, I took my own spin in reference to some Ace Attorney OCs I made.

These lovelies (The second character is in the mirror) are Alric Bailey and Ghale Barron. These darlings are the same person because Alric had Dissociate Identity Disorder due to trauma that he faced as a child.

The two personalities live their own lives, but during high school, which this picture is meant to represent with how young Alric looks, the two are struggling to find who and what they are on their own, since Ghale came into existence when Alric was twelve.

Rather than Ghale being a persona that Alric uses to get by, Ghale is his own entity, yet the two don't know each other, and they can't know each other, which is represented in the black psyche lock at the middle of the mirror.

There is an attorney's badge at the top of the mirror, which is what path Alric will eventually take in life, while Ghale's is left hidden at the bottom of the mirror's handle (He will take on prosecution.). How the boys get by with this ordeal is that Alric is misdiagnosed with Dissociate Amnesia, which is when one subconsciously separates themselves from an event or group of events, resulting in a lack of memory.

This misdiagnosis makes sense, to an extent, with how things progress at first with Ghale, since, as Alric's alter ego, he was made to protect Alric from any more trauma, thus Ghale expresses his anger and more violent side alone in the beginning as he makes himself from the bottom up. Alric expressed anger before like any other person, but not to the crazed extent that Ghale did.

But, they truly are two entities. While Alric is soft-spoken, timid, and secretly passionate, Ghale is outspoken, passionate, and doesn't know when to stop.
