Identity; plurality
I've been thinking lately, I need to train myself out of something.
Specifically, when someone says "you're a bird" or similar, my response is usually "part of the time, yes," because I still want my other selves to be acknowledged. But that also gives the impression that I'm only one of them at a time.
I am a phoenix, and a kobold, and an otter. At the same time, even if only one /usually/ fronts. All of these are true, without contradiction.
"You're a phoenix." "Yep!"
