Personality Shift

undefined:

Personality shifting is the act of a system or headmate's personality shifting or changing.

Personality shifts can happen spontaneously or due to an attachment material changing, such as a profile picture or comfort object.

System Role
A personality shifter is a headmate that can change their personality at will, or shifts personalities to mirror the person they are interacting with. This headmate may also be a shapeshifter.

A headmate may be a personality shifter for many reasons, such as:


 * Past or current trauma that needed the system to do this for survival.
 * The body is neurodivergent and this role is needed to mask as neurotypical.
 * Any other reason that isn't listed or mentioned.

History
This term was originally coined separately by Asteroid Kingdom and Faedom on separate pages, and was then merged into one page on February 5, 2024 by the Vexed System.

Related Terms
A personality shifter may also be considered a mirror or masker.

Personality shifting can be similar to soma shifting, where a headmate's form in headspace is changed.
