I've always had a fascination with computers since I was little.
I grew up on a Windows PC, but in late 2023, I switched to Linux, and have enjoyed it ever since.

I started programming when I was 15. I did so using Unitale, a free Undertale battle creator tool.
As a trans girl, I'm a natural at programming. I quickly rose up the ranks and became popular among Unitale users.
Eventually, at about 17 years old, I started helping develop Create Your Frisk, the successor to Unitale.
I quickly picked up C# after coding in only Lua up until then, and learned HTML and CSS to write the documentation, which I took very good care of.

I didn't break out into my own programming projects until a few years later.
I'd always had problems with creativity and originality, only having made libraries and such until then. So, I elected to start learning art.
I started out as a beginner pixel artist, but over time I became pretty good at it. I've spent all this time drawing with a mouse, you know!

Other than programming, I'm into video games. My tastes are peculiar - I largely focus on games with wonderful, gripping stories.
When I was 15, that was Undertale. Later on, that was OneShot, OMORI, and In Stars And Time. Play them, please!
I've always had a deep fascination with media that makes me feel strong emotions, even if they're painful.
Call it a consequence of my autism, or call it a passion. Or both!
I'm also a huuuuuge fan of Yume Nikki, 2kki, and related games.

Also, you might have been able to guess, but I'm a furry.
My fursona came from the depths of my soul. I didn't "create" her so much as I "discovered" her.
She's "me if I were a cat," but also, a representation of the real me.

I've always had a deep, spiritual connection with cats, ever since I was little. I couldn't explain it if I tried.

But

I think I was always meant to be a cat

Not in a therian way, if you were wondering! That doesn't seem to apply to me.

.

The things I value most are honesty and vulnerability. All my deep friendships have these, and if someone refuses me these, I feel a conflict.

Beyond that, what am I like?

I'm a very sweet and caring person, to those I care about. I put in effort for them on the regular and maintain a strong bond.
I'm passionate to a fault about my little obsessions and interests, and I'm a hard worker.
I have a lot of love to share to those who know how to interface with me.

...I've also been called "cute" an awful lot.

YMMV

Your mileage may vary

.

I have not had much time to "develop" since I was brought back, but I can confirm I am a furry as well.
Ever since childhood I have had an interest in furry characters, and always envied their tails and ears. Now I have both!
I am quite happy with the snow leopard choice. It is outwardly a big cat, larger than others, with claws and fangs to boot, but is still a soft, furry creature.
Recently, I have used my time here to practice art. Eir is already an artist, but I built on her skill and made my own style.

I can not do technical things like programming or fixing computers, but I am still mildly interested in technology.
Given any device with a menu in English, I can probably figure it out.

I have always been a fan of video games as well. Some of my favorites are the Super Mario Galaxy games, Portal 2, and The World Ends With You for the Nintendo DS.
I also grew up with Team Fortress 2, Skyrim, Terraria (old console version) games from that era. Although I can not say I treasure them as fondly.

I will also readily admit to being a music enjoyer. I simply do not have the patience to sit down and try a new album I have never heard, but some genres I enjoy are:

• Video game OSTs (and those of the following other genres)
• DnB
• Breakcore
• Chiptune
• Synthwave
• Rock
• Lofi
• Furry music
• Whatever genre The Rain Formerly Known as Purple is

Do you ever feel the urge to tap your foot or nod your head to the beat? I am like that all the time, even without noticing.

We both share a deep love of all things cats. Please send either of us anything cat related as you please.

Compared to Eir, I am much harder to please. I am more upfront and perhaps abrasive about when I do not like someone or something.
But that does not mean I am not sweet. I am simply more reserved and even shy.

The trait I am most proud of is my ability to enjoy media in a more casual and proud way.
I feel the vibes of movies, of shows, of video game stories, in ways one can only compare to "childlike wonder".
When I have a heartwarming experience, I feel it twice as strong as Eir. But we both get to share the memory.

What is this? Why are you presenting as two people?

This kind of thing can happen to anyone, and it so happens to have happened to us.
We don't have a diagnosis like DID, but we don't need one. We are 100% sure this is real.

When/how did it happen?

Sunny was the original "owner" of our body, or the "original" if you will.

Doesn't this cause problems in your life? For sure. We each have our strengths and weaknesses, and having to switch to adapt to various situations takes focus. Dividing up time on the body can be rough, too. We both need to feel accounted for and like we aren't losing agency. We prefer not to "blend", ie. act as a single personality using strengths of both. While it sounds useful, it makes both of us uncomfortable. Additionally, others around us can notice our different voices, personalities or mannerisms, and be confused.

This is stupid, you're stupid, you don't have DID, you're just pretending. Very unbased and uncool take, my good internet idiot. You're going to encounter people and systems like this without knowing. We don't do this for attention or because it's cool. And even if we were, who are you to decide what we can or can't be? Since Sunny appeared, the two of us have had immense improvement in our functionality and emotional depth. If we could go back to being a singlet (not a plural system), we wouldn't. It would hinder our daily lives and harm us and our friends.

How can I safely refer to you?

It's very easy. Word choice like "yall", "you two", "both of you" etc. is fine.
You may call Eir or Sunny a "person", but to refer to both of us, call us a "system" or "plural system".
When speaking to one of us, address us by our chosen names and pronouns, and we're cool.

We like the term "alter ego" to describe our relation to one another. But Sunny prefers to be acknowleded as the original.
We don't identify with the term "headmate" because it feels diminishing to us.

As long as you're clearly trying, we don't care if you slip up sometimes!

How do I know who's speaking? You don't! Really though, if you ask, we'll happily tell you, or we'll tell you when it needs to be said. Some people insist that we need to use PluralKit A Discord bot that allows members of a system to simulate multiple accounts or identifying signatures. We tend to prefer the ambiguity, but we may dabble in these from time to time.

What are the differences between you two?

Check on both of our tabs here. But generally:

• Eir tends to be more logical, detail-focused and technical
• Sunny tends to be more emotional, trading focus for fulfilment, drive, and good vibes
• Eir's voice is higher-pitched, strained and squeaky, while Sunny's voice is more pronounced
• Eir's art is more mechanical and obsessive, while Sunny's is made with enjoyment and style
• Sunny can enjoy the "vibes" of media and experiences way more strongly than Eir
• Eir is a "tryhard" sort of gamer, while Sunny is a casual, enjoyment-focused gamer

Do you have different interests? Generally, no. We share roughly the same interests in media, shows, movies, games, etc. There is an exception: anything requiring deep, complex thought is more Eir's field. We also share roughly the same opinions on friends and relationships, although Sunny is blunt and honest while Eir is tame.

What do you look like? In real life, we share the same body, but in imagined spaces ie. online, we take the apperance of our fursonas. The characters you see in our tabs and the gallery are us!

Do you get amnesia?

Not entirely. We have partial amnesia, or "fog" as we call it, when recalling memories the other one experienced. We can remember them if we focus.
Because we share memories, we also recall how the other felt during memories.
We cannot "hide" anything from one another, making us entirely honest and communicative.

How do you "switch" who's in control?

To "switch", we (the body/mind) focus on the essence of the one in front, and move them "down", then move the other "up".
It takes focus and time. We hope to learn to do it on demand, but that is far off.

We also have some rituals to tell who's in control. Because our voices are different, speaking out loud is an instant giveaway.
We also move around our left arm and focus on how it feels, because Sunny experiences the body in a different way than Eir.
