A rat wearing a feather boa and striking a sassy pose.

The last intentional member of our system. Perhaps the last intentional member that will ever come to be, seeing as our system has gotten as big as we personally feel we can handle.

Hayden is a sassy little creature. He spends most of his time just relaxing in the mindscape. He doesn’t feel drawn to chat with people outside of our head, he doesn’t feel the need to push his way into everyone’s business within the mind, he’s quite happy just being drawn about by the waves of life and going where they take him.

For a long while we jokingly called him Rose Lite. Rose 2.0. But he is so much more than that. So different from her in so many ways.

Hayden has always been unapologetically himself. He sticks to a femme form, despite his gender being firmly rooted in the masculine side of the spectrum, and he never apologizes for speaking out for what he wants.

He never did get much time in the spotlight, as not long after his poofing into reality we had a fair few walk-ins. He’s very much the middle child of the system, both in order of his “birth” and in attitude, but he’s never minded it nor let it get him down. In fact I daresay he quite likes the solitude it affords him.

While I may not have as much to say about him as Rose or Felix might, I can indeed say I’m very grateful to have him in our lives, as our system simply wouldn’t be the same place without him.
