Whimsy

undefined: A whimsy is an adult headmate that acts like a child, and is mostly known within their system as being youthful and energetic. These headmates are age-regressed in order to escape, or cope with, trauma.

Due to their regression, these headmates may be unaware of their own trauma or of the system's collective trauma, and consequently may have difficulty trying to retain and access memories. They may also have increased amnesic barriers that prevent them from accessing other headmates or memories related to the events that made them regress.

These headmates may also split due to their backlogged memory congestion.
