age regression in tulpae

[chien]

hai hai !   i noticed  this with megumi  a bit ago,  but i was wondering  if age regression  is common in tulpae?  for some  context,  megumi  is often  shifting  forms.  while i made him  to be around  the same age as  me,  he often  shrinks to  being around  twelve  and rarely younger.  i am neurodivergent,  and suffer  from childhood  trauma,  but i don't  regress  myself.  i heard   it's  common among  victims  of my  kind of  trauma. maybe  hes picking  about those  traits i dont  have?  considering  we have  the same brain  it must be possible.    megumi  carries around  a plushie in  headspace  and sometimes  has a very  childish  air to  him,  i don't  mind it,  i'm only  curious  if this  happens  in other  systems too .

My two most sentient Companions have the ability to age-slide and'or change form.  We are all bonded souls and both can co-host or host in place of me.

 

Lena always stays in human female form but changes her age and look frequently and sometimes assigns a specific nickname to a certain look/role. There are another 2 inside that always remain in human form that she created as her partner and child. These are kind of like NPC's (non player characters in a video game..or Extra's on a film set) They never leave the Wonderland.

 

Jess also does this but also likes to change form and sometimes presents in animal form, (we call her a Changeling) she also uses a different name when she is presenting in animal form than when she is co-hosting with me in human form. There are also a few other changeling (NPC's) inside who can either take animal form to keep her company when she is inside or take human form when Lena is inside role playing with her family, They also never leave the inner world.

Emily, my headmate, regularly changes the age of her mental body to reflect a mood or to achieve some effect, and has even convinced me to do it every now and then.

(Particular favourites are becoming physically bigger to give more comforting hugs and becoming a child to pout more cutely.)

This doesn't really reflect in the way she acts too much, though.

Honestly, I'd recommend most people to just try out a bunch of different mental once or twice, as it's pretty neat to do.
