Dennis: A personality split from Kevin when he was a child. He embodies an image that wants to protect the weak Kevin, doing everything in an orderly manner and spotlessly clean, so that he will not be abused like his mother in childhood. . And behind his cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, what is actually revealed is anxiety. Dennis uses "we" to refer to everything in his communication, because he wants to unify all the personalities and let them protect the Kaiwen body. He also wants these personalities. Can calmly respond to the doubts of the society. He strives for "perfection", "cleanliness" and "unity", but after all this is done to the extreme, he realizes that there is no one to protect him, because he is also a personality that needs to be cared for. This is the hotbed for the later accumulation of beast. The most classic sentence "you should not lie to children, that shows what kind of person you are". This not only shows that he deeply hates Kevin's experience when he was a child, but also shows that he must be strong enough as the master of all personality to lead them to survive in society. Idealized ideology is an attempt to resolve basic conflicts. It has great subjective value and can be used as an obstacle technique to bring together divided personalities.

Sidvi: It is a projection of a 9-year-old boy, which can be understood as a shape that Kevin "completed" for his childhood. If the boy always maintains a naive, free, and rebellious style, he can escape the depression brought by his childhood mother to little Kevin. At the same time, Sidvi can choose the timing of emergence without restriction, break the rules at any time and continue to have "good" dreams. Sidvi, who appeared for the first time in the film, was shy and timid. He was eager to play with the three imprisoned girls, but he was afraid that Dennis and the lady would notice, and showed a little bit of childish arrogance. He directly said "I can Choose when I appear at any time". Later, he showed that in addition to his children's interest in the opposite sex, he simply liked him. In the basement full of childish color pen drawings, he listened to his favorite music, indulged in dancing to the people he liked, and was very worried about the other party reporting the crime through the walkie-talkie, and was panicking. In the situation of loss, he was suppressed by Dennis' control personality.

Woman: This is a representative of elegance and order. It can also be explained as a reflection of Kevin’s mother. She wants everything to be beautiful and clean, with elegant and decent manners. This is also a phenomenon that DID patients have a good understanding of things. It can also be understood as a part of the self-protective personality split by Kevin. Only in this way will he be free from punishment by the abused mother. Kevin’s ontology or other personalities have replicated this "mother" image, but in fact, this personality is not the most perfect. For example, when she cut bread for the heroine and they didn’t cut it properly, she went crazy for a moment. Seconds forced restraint again, thinking that this was inappropriate behavior. Therefore, in the view of other personality "voting", the lady is not an ideal personality that can represent all of them.

In summary, before Barry’s personality, Dennis and Ms. Dennis were actually "unpopular" personalities. They occupied the dominant position of most personalities by being powerful or deliberately disguised on the other hand. Under this long-term inconsistent influence, they long for success, longing for perfection, longing for being strong and invincible, these have become the hotbed for the birth of beast.

Beast: I think your personality is real. Not only can he double his body size, his hair color changes, he can fly over the wall, and he can even be invulnerable (actually a garter penetrated into the body, bleeding, but pain relief). Excessive ability). He represents a power that is longed for by all human beings, a power that can protect everyone, can be invincible, and is just and pure. In addition to the other 23 personalities of the Kaiwen style, their basic conflicts caused continuous division of himself. As a child, Kevin lost his foundation, so he could only expand and inflate his role and power.
