Us and You
Robby McTeer for Tia
50s, Female, they/she, The caregiving alter. Tia is the most functional, the alter who will make sure they are hydrated, eating, and performing at efficiency when at dangerous levels of poor body management. When inside the mind, she takes care of the Unique, but when fronting, she's focused on the body. When Tia was first created, she was modeled after a relative. Tia would front to make sure Alisha did her homework, cleaned her room, or sat up straight as a coping mechanism to try to stop the abuse and further trauma. Obviously, that didn't work. As Alisha grew, Tia became more stern and a bit less patient. Arguably single-minded when it comes to Alisha’s care, Tia serves to be like the blood, bringing oxygen to the heart, to keep them alive. She does what is in Alisha’s best interest even if Alisha disagrees. (2 scenes, 6 lines)

As long as you’re careful, fine. Please feed the baby, Alisha
I’m quite aware of our heart beat working overtime. And you’re dehydrated, dear.
You should be more worried about its impact at your job.
