Intro to Us - Masterpost
We’re The Reflection Family, a collective of over 200 members (so far) in eight different branches sharing a body. Our collective is organized into several distinct groups and categories, reflecting different origins, roles, and characteristics of our coanimans. Each branch has its unique dynamics and members, influenced by their proximity to certain fragments.
Types of Coanimans: A Guide to Our Color Coding
• The Original (White): Mckayla, the primary coaniman associated with the body.
• Core (Dark Grey): Human coanimans who are direct splits from Mckayla, sharing similar physical traits.
• Undead (Black): Coanimans disconnected from reality due to near-death experiences; not necessarily direct splits.
• Hypnosis (Desaturated Pink): Coanimans created via hypnosis, either accidentally or intentionally.
• Non-Human (Purple): Coanimans that are either direct splits or introjects of animals.

Overview of Our Structure
Hosts: Who's in the background?
The hosts in the collective not only manage daily life, social interactions, and external relationships but also play a crucial role in preserving long-term memory recall within a collective memory bank. They act as the primary points of interaction with the outside world, ensuring that the collective's needs and responsibilities are met while maintaining a stable presence. By embodying qualities such as adaptability, resilience, and social awareness, the hosts effectively navigate diverse situations and challenges, presenting a cohesive identity to those outside the collective. Through their ability to coordinate with other parts and maintain access to shared memories, the hosts ensure continuity and a functional existence, bridging the internal world with external reality and fostering a sense of cohesion and unity within the collective.

The Gatekeepers: Who Runs The System, Really?
The gatekeepers in the collective are vital entities responsible for managing and regulating access to various aspects of the inner world and the collective's complex internal landscape. They oversee the flow of memories, emotions, and information, ensuring that the right coanimans come forward when needed and that sensitive or potentially destabilizing memories are kept at bay until they can be safely processed. The gatekeepers also play a protective role, shielding more vulnerable members from traumatic recollections or overwhelming emotions.
