THE 'TRUE SELF' MEME
(inspired by Persona 4)



"In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts."

Everyone has another side to them that they keep hidden away, feelings they bottle up to save face or avoid conflict. But what if those feelings take a life of their own...?

Perhaps it's your best friend, a close family member, a hated enemy, or maybe it's just a complete stranger. No matter who it is, they are different now, possessing creepy yellow eyes, a distorted voice, and a disconcerting aura. Take care in what you say to them, though, because there are three little words that will set them off into an unstoppable rage...

How to:
Step 1: Post as your character with their name and canon
Step 2: Others respond stumbling onto your character
Step 3: WHOOPS. Character A has been replaced by their Shadow or Other Self!
Step 4: Play out the encounter! Will you start an epic boss fight? Have a pleasant chat? Or maybe just flat out ignore them? Run wild!

[Well then, look who's back? Charlie-- Charlotte? Someone else? No, it's definitely her, albeit quite a bit more feminine looking than usual. Dolled up like a 'real girl' as opposed to her usual tomboyish appearance, and even her body seems a little different, somehow.

Whatever the differences, it's still Charlie... just a side of her no one's used to seeing.]

[Oh, Marie definitely noticed something odd to start with, which is why when she makes her way over, she does so cautiously. Was she nervous? Sure, but she quickly masks it with an easy smile as she sidles up once she's close enough.

Maybe start off with a comment on how she's dressed...? Sure, let's go with that.] Charlie! You look awfully nice today!
