These are characters that I heavily relate to, whether that be in their behavior, personality, struggles, or overall identity, in order of "most relatable" to "least relatable."

Siffrin from In Stars and Time is my "main" fictomere. I identify with them most and have a lot of uncanny, specific similarities to them (when/where we were each born, disabilities, names, appearances). Siffrin has the same Meyers-Briggs personality type as me (INFP-T), pretty much the same neurodivergences, and shares things like severe memory issues and social ineptness. Basically, Siffrin is almost an exact reflection of me, hence why they have been dubbed my "main" fictomere.

ENA's whole motiff with her emotions, her mask, and her happiness has always hit very hard for me. I especially love the episode Power of Potluck, with its mask that is both an armor and a prison. I think her whole arc with wanting to always be happy and then realizing that true happiness includes sadness was really beautiful. Also - this is just speculation - but there are scenes where she seems to become aware of how fake weird everything is, almost as though becoming aware of a false reality...

I ADORE Eight. She lost her memories and can only view them from what's essentially the third person - she can read the memcakes, but it's not the same as having those memories "back." And then, after she got out of the Deep Sea Metro, she was almost immediately trapped in the false reality of the Spire of Order. Like??? How is a SPLATOON character THIS dpdr-coded? They wake up with no memory of who they once were and fight just to exist. They wake up trapped in an endless, false world. I love them can you tell I love them.

The Lonely has always been very relatable to me as a Fear, but Peter Lucas in particular has always been especially relatable. I really like how he is a charasmatic and friendly character, not despite being an avatar of the Lonely, but rather because of it. I also like how he sees the Lonely as almost seductive and desirable rather than strictly scary. That's something that I have experienced, too.

Flame Princess's backstory of being imprisoned in a glass bottle for her entire childhood, only able to see the world in fleeting glimpses, is something that mirrors my own childhood traumas in many ways. She had an arc of slowly learning how to interact with a world from outside of her glass bottle, which is something that I have also had to go through.

Katie from the Mitchells vs the Machines is more similar to my outward expression of myself as opposed to my inward experience, but she's still awesome! I love this movie so so so much and Katie is a huge part of that. I've always related deeply to her passion for artistic expression, her desire to "find her people," her struggles with her familial relationships, and her general behavior and "weirdness." She's queer, creative, and funny, but still feels the ache of disconnection from people who should "get" her.

I love Callie! She's silly, upbeat, and energetic, which is pretty much exactly how I like to present myself, too (at least on a good day when I have the energy to do so). She also does have emotional depth that is relatable to me (see, the lore of what happened in-between games 1 and 2). In fact, my entire brand as a game dev is inspired by one of the most Callie-coded Squid Sisters songs, Liquid Sunshine!

I relate to Mabel for pretty much the same reasons as I relate to Callie, although Mabel does have that extra seasoning of her Prison Bubble, which is essentially her inner world that she, for a time, so desperately wants to recede into rather than have to face reality. Which, as a constantly daydreaming kid, always hit hard for me.

I'm pretty sure every "gifted" autistic person ever relates to Marcy, but she's on the list all the same. She's smart but doesn't really care, loves video games, is clumsy and oblivious, and finds her home in fantasy rather than reality. A common theme? In my kins list? Nooooooo!

Honestly this one is more about how I theorize Kris must feel being controlled by the Soul. Moving through life observing their body as it does things they did not tell it to do... it's very. A Thing. I don't really behave like them (blank stares, little to no speech) very often, but the whole "my body is moving but I didn't tell it to" thing is very dissocation-coded, in my mind.

To be clear, I don't relate to how he behaves - how he's cruel to others as a coping mechanism. I don't do that. I just relate to how he feels - that nothing is real, nothing matters, everyone is nothing more than a "cartoon character" rather than a real person. I experience that same feeling often. Plus I have a soft spot for characters in a false reality. But also. I don't go around bullying people like Jax does. I just relate to how he feels, not how he acts on those feelings. So. On the end of the list he goes.
