TPHHP doodles (contains minor novel spoilers)

Granfel and Lee Hoyeol from The Player Hides His Past manhwa are canonically plural (I specifically see them as a mediple system). In the setting, modern Earth and a fantasy world (which existed as a video game in modern Earth but is also its own universe) are merging. Earth people who played the video game have integrated with their video game characters. Granfel is initially seen/depicted as such a video game character Lee Hoyeol made, but Granfel maintains his own autonomy. He has the most control over the body, with his speaking quirks coming through very strongly and him often taking complete control over the body to exercise/do house chores/etc. even if Lee Hoyeol wants to say/do something else. He also holds memories of his own life before the merge that Lee Hoyeol doesn't seem to have full access to. They're capable of blending, which enables them to combine magic and science in a way almost no one else in their world can do. Lee Hoyeol initially isn't aware Granfel isn't just a character, and we see the story from his perspective, so they sometimes come across as a singlet, but they're still clearly depicted as a system. There's a scene where they have a full conversation while Granfel is operating their phone at Lee Hoyeol's request; people who knew Lee Hoyeol before notice that Granfel acts noticeably different; and there's a scene at almost the end of season 1 where we see what could be a headspace.
