.: My Encephalon: Rhena/Anehr/Anna :.

ANNA (Left)
- My 'Clinical Depression' Other.
- She wasn't discovered until I was around 16-17 years old, when I found out I was diagnosed with Depression when I was only 4 years old.
- She tends to be either really upset, or really 'bitchy'. This causes me to get upset/bitchy as well, but it's a slow effect until it basically consumes me and I cry/yell at someone who probably didn't deserve it. At her worst, she can drain the energy right out of me and I get all 'mopey-dopey'.
- She causes me to get into my old habits, mostly my B.E.D. and me pulling out my hair/eyelashes when I'm really stressed out. Sometimes I even start to daydream excessively as a coping mechanism, and I start to itch my head when I get really anxious. Thankfully, since I know what most of my 'triggers' are the best I can do is keep my mind occupied with other things...or I just take a nap.
- The only (known) time she's possessed me was when my grandma was in the hospital. Basically, after my mom's 'friend' basically told me I was the reason why she was dying on a hospital bed (and I had no reason to see her because I didn't care) I blacked out for 6-7 hours and I almost harmed myself. That's when I knew it was better to speak my mind than keeping it bottled up, and why now I NEVER let anyone say I 'do not care' when I see someone I care for in the hospital possibly dying.
- I do NOT take medication for my depression, so that means I deal with it full-force and I can actually handle it better than most.
- Her legal name is still Anehr, but everyone calls her 'Anna' since I already have an Other with that exact name. So she does not respond to 'Anehr' at all, even if I call her in that name.
- In 'My Encephalon', everyone sees HER as the reason why I'm the 'problem child'. They even started hating on Anehr because of this, not knowing that Anehr and Anna are two different types of Others (they just see them as the same exact thing thus treat them both the exact same).

RHENA
- My 'persona'.
- She is seen by her family as the 'problem child', plus she suffered abuse from many others (including bullying at school). So she has very low self-esteem, and often thinks of herself as 'lower than dirt'. Even on her best days, she can be a bit crabby. She's gotten a bit better as she's now an adult, but she knows she's still 'young' so she still has to learn quite a lot.
- She can be a HUGE brat, is a procrastinator, suffers from B.E.D., and of course has to deal with her two Others. So she has a lot on her mind, but she somehow survives.
- She is somewhat suicidal, but knows she's not ready to leave yet so she's not planning on going anytime soon. Plus she hates pain, and she doesn't want to 'make a mess' that others would have to 'clean up'. So she sees suicide as a normal thought everyone has, but actually acting on it is another story. (never told anyone this btw)
- Has a phobia of going to hospitals, and also has a slight phobia of going outside (doesn't help that she has social anxiety and she gets easily paranoid). Also fears counselors/therapists, doctors, and medication. It can get so bad that she'll have a mental breakdown at the thought of just being in a hospital for any length of time...this is due to many experiences with her loved ones almost dying in hospitals, and she fears that if she goes to one then she might actually die (plus she fears having a needle in her arm 24/7 and it's not the pain she's worried about)
- LOVES horror/gore/urban legends, but she always watches them at night. This causes her to lose sleep, which causes her to sleep during the day (at least until she finds a way to stay awake during daylight hours). She also loves Yaoi/Yuri, Hentai, and of course anything with Vampyres/Werewolves.
- She honestly hates ALL of her family, except for 4 people (her mom, brother, grandma, and her cousin 'Jaylee'). This is because they either clash with her, they broke their promises with her too many times, or they hated her first for no apparent reason and they ruined personal relationships between her and a certain family member that she still cares about. Because of this, she is even less trustworthy of others (besides those she already deeply cares for).
- She doesn't eat in front of others that she doesn't know, but if she's with someone she does know then she feels more comfortable.
- She thinks certain things are 'rude'...like using someone's bathroom/shower, asking for food/clothes, and a few other things.
- She HATES hiding her emotions/thoughts/feelings, as she was brought up to never speak out or act like anything's wrong. Plus she believed she deserved the torment she got, never realizing that it was actually people abusing her. She's still coming to terms with it all, and has some slight PTSD from stuff in her past (not enough to have a PTSD Other, but just enough to where she has certain 'triggers').

ANEHR (Right)
- My ADD Other.
- I'm really close with her, even if she does annoy me sometimes. I've known her since I was 7-8 years old, and I consider her a 'friend'.
- I did take medication for her once, and it messed us both up quite a bit. Basically, it made us feel 'buzzed/loopy' and we were both really quiet and sleepy all the time. All the time Anehr was basically lifeless, and afterwards she disappeared until I was around 13-14 (that's when my daydreaming got REALLY bad). I ignored her for a time, but started to 'play around' with her again when I was 16-17.
- In 'My Encephalon', the medication was 'experimental' and Rhena was the test subject. That was when everyone thought she only had one Other, but since she actually had two the medication failed because the medication was specifically for Anehr but it didn't make her 'disappear' entirely and they saw a glimpse of Anna. This is how Anehr still exists, because Anna was the one thing that 'saved' her without even knowing.
- She acts like any other ADD Other, but her favorite pastime is to twirl in place as she sings 'Dam-Da-Di-Do' or 'Hamster Dance' until she collapses from dizziness. She also likes to jump up and down constantly, give everyone 'mama bear' hugs, and 'accidentally' steal things (well she doesn't quite understand yet that it's 'wrong' to steal and in Grimdark City it's not the worst thing that someone can do).
- Due to me hanging out with her a lot, she effects me a bit more than Anna does and I tend to not want to 'control' her because I see her as 'my sunshine' and all that makes me happy. Plus I never got to act like a kid when I was a kid, so it's compensation for that.
- She causes me to get distracted easily, have a butt-ton of energy most days, and I do tend to speak without thinking first even if it's outright childish/silly. She clashes with Anna quite a bit, and when they 'fight' it makes me act strange (plus I get REALLY sleepy).
- She outright fears medication, and if she thinks I'll take some then she'll throw it far away from me. I tell her that Ibuprofen and Tylenol are ok for when I get headaches, and they do not affect her...so she's ok with that, but still stares at me when I take it like she's still suspicious of it.

ALL
- Our birthday is April 28th, and we were born in 1997. So we're as old as the Pokemon games are, we're just a year off.
- We all live in the Twin Apartment Complex, as it allows Others and their Hosts to live together. Our mom and brother and their Others also live there along with their Others.

ARTIST NOTES

    Here they are~! This is my 'persona', along with my Others. I think they look decent enough, I really love the style so Imma probably draw in this way more often (so round and CUTE~!).

    And I know, I forgot the sparkles on Anehr. I did forget about that li'l detail, and I was already done with her when I realized this so...let's just all imagine that she does have sparkles here. ^u^' And I made Anna's skin darker because her shoes are already near-white, and I didn't want it to seem like she has weird feet. The reason why Rhena's eyes are the way they are...my sleeping schedule is messed up and I stay up all night (used to be worse in highschool as I'd stay up all night then sleep through all my classes), plus I imagine that dealing with 2 Others can get pretty tiring both mentally and physically.

    That's...really about it for them. But I'd have to guess that if I was in Rei-Senpai's 'Encephalon', then I'd probably live in Clearwater Park. Smilesville would be too 'chaotic' and 'bright' for me, and I'd NEVER live in Wayward City (paranoid enough as it is IRL). Of course, my Others would live with me. Gotta keep an eye on those troublemakers. <_<
