Each persons internal system is different and set up how ever that person needed in order to survive. if you read the posts here in this forum you will see just how diverse each persons internal system of alters are, there are alters here on psych central where some alters are animalistic, some are based on book characters, some are based on cartoon characters, teachers, doctors, therapists, parents, abusers, siblings...

theres no limitations on what types of alters a person with DID has. it all depends upon each persons individual needs for their own survival.
Thanks for this!
