HUGE TW for ableism in this one, specifically towards those with DID or OSDD. To those who would not like to see that, just scroll away and ignore this post
When LetterTale was originally created in 2018, I originally wrote first few of the comics with the intention that R! Lexi had DID. Of course since I was literally 8 at the time and had a mom who didn't believe DID was even real, it was pretty... bad
I didn't know the terms at the time, but this was essentially their role when writing. The host was the main, calm one, not much to say. The little was much more childish and chaotic. The trauma holder was always sad and trying to isolate herself, usually fronted after the "evil persecutor." The persecutor was a straight up murderer
These are stereotypes and the persecutor is especially offensive to those with DID and OSDD, you guys deserve better reputation. In 2019, I scrapped it after hearing about this movie called Split and people's criticisms about it. This is part of the reason of why Lexi's characterization is so confusing
I do believe I still accidentally DID-coded Lexi in some ways (like used to have R! Lexi being able to control L! Lexi, the AUs of Lexi being able to meet inside their head at times, Lexi viewing some of her actions as "out of her control", etc). Though, Lexi does not have DID and never will and I do not want headcanons of Lexi having DID
(I'm so stupid lmao, this is another reason of why Lexi's characterization is confusing and often conflicting. I have symptoms of DID that I'm talking about to my therapist and my therapist believes I may have that, as well as me in the process of seeing if I fit any diagnosis criteria of any disorder I haven't been diagnosed with yet)
