Past:Wesley was an orphan who lived on the streets. She ran away from her foster family at 12 because she was abused and raped. The orphanage responsible has since been shut down, and the caretakers are in jail for arson charges after attempting to collect the insurance money. Her foster family is also in jail for child neglect, abuse, and rape.

She was raped when she was 12 years old and attempted suicide on the anniversary of her rape a year later.

As a result of her traumatic childhood, she developed Dissociative Identity Disorder, which was misdiagnosed as schizophrenia during her psychiatric hold.

A majority of the time she is herself, but when dealing with certain situations she may switch out with alters who are better suited to cope.

Present: Over time Wesley has managed to learn how to use her alters to her advantage. While she can’t control them completely, she has a great deal of influence over them.

She enjoys wandering London, usually via fire escapes and rooftops. She’s also fond of biology, especially animal sciences. She fancies the idea of studying Wildlife Ecology and Environmental Sciences.

Currently lives on 221B’s couch, possibly moving to 221C. Resides in 221C in canon RP.

*Wesley’s Personality: Mature. Very quiet and well mannered. She spends most of her time reading and thinking quietly. When she does speak it’s usually something of great importance, as if she carries out countless conversations with herself and only opens her mouth for the most profound conclusions.

*Paisley’s Personality: Paisley is younger, her age fluctuating between 4-10 years old. She is playful, but can be rather stubborn. She tends to come out when Wesley is excited. Despite the fact that she is the youngest, Paisley is usually the one to remember things like food. Associated with Wesley’s lost childhood innocence.

*Hunter’s Personality: If Wesley is the brains of the operation, then Hunter is the brawn. Hunter tends to take over when Wesley is angry or in danger. He is very large and can be described as ‘beast-like’. His actions are defined mainly by instinct and he is easily frustrated. He has difficulties talking and writing, so he communicates mainly through noises and body language. Despite what many think of him, he is a gentle giant; he is protective of Wesley and the others, and will only attack if provoked.

#Hunter is on the prowl

Communication: Wesley and her alters communicate mainly through written notes, usually in a journal. Sometimes they’ll leave each other messages in the pockets of her jeans or coat to be delivered by Ponder. Paisley has difficulty writing and will often draw pictures to express herself while Hunter doesn’t write often and becomes easily frustrated with trying to get his ideas out on paper.Wesley acts as the buffer or mediator of the group, often going to great lengths to ensure that everyone is appeased and that their thoughts are heard and understood.

Over time Paisley and Hunter have grown to the point that they can communicate directly and can even co-habitat.

Relationships: Wesley is pandemiromantic (pan = attracted romantically to any/all genders; demi = has little to no romantic intentions without a strong emotional bond) and isn’t good at relationships or emotions, so she relies heavily on her alters to help her display her moods. She tries her best to relate to people and has been improving.
