5. Tommy, 16. The escape artist. Often mistaken for Allen, he is generally belligerent and antisocial. Plays the saxophone and is an electronics specialist and a painter of landscapes. Muddy-blond hair and amber-brown eyes.

6. Danny, 14. The frightened one. Afraid of people, especially men. He was forced to dig his own grave and was then buried alive. Thus he paints only still lifes. Shoulder-length blond hair, blue eyes, short and slender.

7. David, 8. The keeper of pain, or the empath. Absorbs all the hurt and suffering of the other personalities. Highly sensitive and perceptive, but has a short attention span. Confused most of the time. Dark reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, physically small.

8. Christene, 3. The comer child, so called because she was the one to stand in the comer in school. A bright little English girl, she can read and print, but has dyslexia. Likes to draw and color pictures of flowers and butterflies. Blond shoulder-length hair, blue eyes.

9. Christopher, 13. Christenes brother. Speaks with a British accent. Obedient but troubled. Plays the harmonica. Hair brownish-blond like Christenes, but his bangs are shorter.

10. Adalana, 19. The lesbian. Shy, lonely and introverted, she writes poetry, cooks and keeps house for the others. Adalana has long, stringy black hair, and since her brown eyes occasionally drift from side to side with nystagmus, she is said to have “dancing eyes.”

The Undesirables

Suppressed by Arthur because they possessed undesirable traits. Revealed, for the first time, at the Athens Mental Health Center to Dr. David Caul.

11. Philip, 20. The thug. New Yorker, has a strong Brooklyn accent, uses vulgar language. References to “Phil” gave police and media the clue that there were more personalities than the ten known ones. Has committed minor crimes. Curly brown hair, hazel eyes, beak nose.

12. Kevin, 20. The planner. A small-time criminal, he planned the Gray Drug Store robbery. Likes to write. Blond hair, green eyes.

13. Walter, 22. The Australian. Fancies himself a big-game hunter. Has an excellent sense of direction and is often used as a “spotter”. Suppressed emotions. Eccentric. Has a mustache.

14. April, 19. The bitch. Boston accent. She is filled with thoughts and plans of diabolical revenge against Billy’s stepfather. The others say she is insane. Does the sewing and helps with the housekeeping. Black hair, brown eyes.

15. Samuel, 18. The wandering Jew. Orthodox in his religion, he is the only one who believes in God. Sculptor and wood-carver. Black curly hair and beard, brown eyes.

16. Mark, 16. The workhorse. No initiative. Does nothing unless he’s told by the others. Takes care of monotonous labor. If there is nothing to do, he will stare at the wall. Sometimes referred to as “the zombie.”

17. Steve, 21. The perpetual impostor. Laughs at people as he imitates them. An egomaniac, he is the only one of the inner selves who has never accepted the diagnosis of multiple personality. His mocking imitations often cause trouble for the others.
