First off let me state- I’m not medical professional, this is all speculation and headcanoning-

I think Skirk from Genshin Impact has OSDD- (other specified dissociative disorder which is chronic dissociative symptoms such as identity alteration, but the alteration and separation between identities is not as severe as in DID)

In Skirk Story Quest, we enter her inner world (which is already every telling, since that more common in people with dissociative disorders) where we met her “suppressed emotion” self. Where we see into Skirk’s memories, later on when Skirk gets injured we are actually able to speak with her emotion-self. Since Skirk restrains on her falter slightly.

Where she again told us of Skirk’s trauma, this made me feel like she could be a trauma barer, where she carries the traumas and the emotion that came with it- but I also think Skirk could be one too. (she also talks like Skirk that she other person sometimes)

Even if at this point she says they are the “same”

Skipping ahead a bit- I feel this most important part- altars shoulder trauma that the “host” or child couldn’t handle- it’s a trauma response- though it seems both of them remember their trauma- but they still are made for each other. Skirk wants to protect her emotional self, but her emotional self wants to do the same.

Skirk losing her homeland than experiencing constant abuse from “The Foul” caused her to harden herself and shun her feelings away- this could either created her child-self who could hold these emotions and her wishes or this created her who keep on surviving- it doesn’t matter who was first because that isn’t how this disorder works.

Skirk at the end does allow her emotion self to not be locked, this could be letting themselves co-front or something different (I wouldn’t say her emotional self - this altar is gone, but now allowed to be with the body) after this their inner world started to heal too.

Thanks you to the traveler for dealing with this- (to note this isn’t the first time we see a system in Genshin, Layla had D.I.D, the main reason why I didn’t give this to Skirk isn’t because he doesn’t have missing memories or blocks in her life) I’m sure I missed a few things, but this what i have gathered so far!

TLDR: Skirk is a system composing of her emotional self and unemotional self. Spawning from her childhood trauma. At the end they are possible co-fronting with each other.

OH. my god.. skirk ajax, ajax skirk THE DUO YOU ARE.

so i went a little insane when i first heard skirk say ajax right. just a little bit. if i hear anybody say that skirk doesn't care about him it's on sight. their relationship is so dear to me.

SPOILERS FOR SKIRK'S STORY QUEST AND A VAGUE REFERENCE TO 5.7 ARCHON QUEST UNDER CUT

surtalogi trained her the way he was trained and it would only be natural for her to continue this cycle. but she chose to protect ajax instead, looking out for him during training, not pushing him to the point of injury and NOT cutting off his limbs, for one. even now that his training is over she's STILL trying to protect him— from surtalogi, by not staying in touch. the way she sees it, any connection that could be drawn between them would put him in grave danger. so she stays away.

she doesn't want him to imitate her, because she doesn't want to hold him back, but also because she doesn't want him to lock away his emotions like she has. he still has a home and a family to love and protect and i just know she would HATE to steer him down that path (even if it was subconscious when she was making that decision).

and you can clearly see the difference by how skirk and ajax feel about their respective masters. skirk respects surtalogi, but fears him first and foremost, while childe is constantly seeking a way to meet skirk again (which is so stinkin cute btw i love him sm).

This was the scenario I thought of after that scene

I haven't gotten online as much cuz I got a bit sick from a fever for the past few days, also wanting to finishing my NG+ run in Lies of P. So I now got time to get into the new stuff in 4.2
