About

I’m Aelin. I used to protect the Fighter when she was alone. Now I’m a caretaker for the children here.

I’m an astral human. I have silver hair and eyes. I wear a red robe and a white dress. I can summon a moon shield for emergencies, but nowadays I only carry my dream journal.

My age fluctuates between 17–19 years old. I stepped in the inner world as early as 2007, and I have gone through a handful of identity shifts. At the time, I was called “Blue Eyes,” until in 2015 where I was referred to as “Light” in the Talking to My Selves series. In 2018, I stepped in as a protector for the Fighter and reintroduced myself as “Aevince,” which later became “Lizzie” in 2021. Finally, I feel at home with the name “Aelin” in 2023.

I resonate with experiences of wonder. I make sure to document any moments of awe in the real world. It helps with fostering hopefulness. I also enjoy writing fictional stories and dreams.

Inner World: Tree House

I live in the tree house in the middle of the forest with the Toddler. I enjoy tending the garden, visiting the shore, cleaning the tree house, and having picnics in the garden.

Inner World: Parts

Fighter

I protected her in the past. Now she’s well resourced enough to fight on her own. I’m at awe of her compassion to us parts. One time, I believe it was 2022, she stayed with me. She sat with my hurt that ruptured unexpectedly. Oh recalling it, I feel embarrassed…

Gatekeeper

I fought with the Gatekeeper before. The fight lasted for years. I hold no grudge against him now. I just wish we had seen eye to eye sooner…

Manager

The Manager and I were at odds during creative writing classes. I wanted to write something that’s authentic, while the Manager needed it finished with certain standards met, which were mostly external. It felt suffocating at first but we found workarounds. Now I respect the Manager for what they had to deal with.

Toddler

I take care of her.

Ghost

She stops by the tree house now and then.
