PhotographicFugue

I posted this image to my project discord server, kinda just to feed my friends, but one of them is an avid role-player and they love my stuff.

Me when I have to switch over to octocon but because devices hate me and I'm a stupid chud. (tried to import something 5 times while it was loading import) now I can't update any of my images. :D

Kinda Ugly drawing but ok

Introducing Zhenzhu! She is the current caregiver of the photobook system. She doesn't spend much time in front because of past internal conflicts that haven't been resolved. She is the one who makes sure the body has been eating and sleeping, also taking care of Zhan when he's not in front. She holds almost all of the system's positive memories of their mother, which led to big issues when accepting that their parents were bad people.

When they stayed at Sun Village, Zhenzhu was well-loved by the children (who were not afraid of them), but she wasn't allowed to meet with them.

Despite being a caregiver, she is quite alone in the system. In the future, she will have a better bond with everyone, but for now, she's on meh terms with everyone except Zhan.

Zhenzhu started as a fragment that repeated certain behaviors that kept their mother happy, and was often the one around to cook food for themselves when they were younger. When she became a full-fledged alter, she fought tooth and nail for their mother's honor, often putting themselves in bad situations in an attempt to prove that their mother was a good person. After their mom attempted to kill them after a child abuse court hearing, Zhenzhu was forced to realize that her crafted reality was false, but at this point, the system was wary of her for constantly forcing them into dangerous situations.

Ok, I caved. I'm posting the old refs, there's not much wrong tbh, it's just a bit messy.

Now for an introduction, Sì is the host of the photobook system he's the reason the system has a camera theme in the first place, actually (he's the only one with a love for photography; the others kinda just play along). He holds most memories of their later childhood being there to remember when his parents got sentenced to death and when he lived in Sunshine Village.

Since he is the host, he handles most daily life, work, (most of) school, and usually hygiene. He does forget things like eating and sleeping, but the others help with that.

He has a fairly complex relationship with the others in the system. Zhenzhu (who is now a caretaker) started as a fragment to please his mom and then turned into a persecutor. Sì and her would fight a lot, destroying each other's stuff, often accidentally dragging Zhan into it (often destroying poor Zhan's stuff). Sì cares a lot for the system's local little Zhan and often coddles him a bit. They have a pretty good bond and they like to co-front and go on nature walks. Zixin used to be the host for a while in their younger years, and Sì really looks up to him for that, though he does get really angry with Zixin for being a drunk. Sì isn't close with Zedong and doesn't really know how to feel about him, except for the fact that he hates how many scratches Zedong leaves on their arms. Sì can't talk to Vedal at all, but he does know that Vedal plays a big part in the body being sleep deprived.

(When Sì moves to America, he goes by River or Indigo)
