I think Walky might be the FIRST horse, honestly. Still not sure if even Danny gets it. Dorothy probably doesn’t, same with Dina. Hunches, impressions, but nobody’s outright said it.
I, for one, did not realize the Amber/Amazi-Girl thing was a full-on split personality. Cases of that sort of behavior ‘Im familiar with, one personality is usually unaware of the other’s existence, or they “blackout” when the personalities swap, and Amber’s never done that as far as I recall.
Rectilinear Propagation
The blackouts started happening before her big fight with Sal. IIRC, that was “Into the Red Zone”.
Yep, that’s when the alarm set off for me. It seemed like Amber hadn’t lost time like that too many times before, and things were progressing in a direction she wasn’t anticipating.
thejeff
That’s the earliest. There was some speculation before, but that’s pretty clearly it. There were a couple earlier bits where they talked to each other rather than just knowing what was up. There were definitely hints they were moving farther apart, but that was the first clear lost time.
And the obvious trigger for that final split was the Ryan stabbing.
Mishyana
Was it, though? I mean, maybe the first lost time we’ve explicitly seen, but I’m guessing there was a reason she set up social media alerts for mentions of her alter ego.
thejeff
She could have been watching for reports that would get them in trouble. Police or otherwise.
It’s definitely the first we’ve seen and she seemed disturbed by it, so I think it was meant to be the first. Maybe she was worried about it?
I wonder where the last explicitly sharing memories scene was?
Z
Even DID is a bit of a spectrum and not sharing memories to this degree is at the extreme end. It looked like she was dissociating but this is the first real confirmation of HOW MUCH (yikes)
David
Huh, yer like a different reader, ain’tcha?
Kat
In real world DID, There are a lot of things that are very different from traditional Fiction DID. For one, the average number of personalities is 8, and some personalities may be co-aware while others aren’t. In this case, Amber might actually be aware of what Amazi-girl does while Amazi-girl is not aware of what Amber does. Given impressions to the opposite, I’m not arguing that as the way it works here, simply using an example.
One of the most interesting cases I ever read was a painter whose different personalities all got into painting because of the “dominant personality”. The styles, themes, tones, and subject matter were incredibly different.
Like, I get the impression that a lot of people humor Amber when she says that she and AG are different people. I think Walky is the first to actually be like “okay, we have disassociation personality disorder going on here”
Assuming that I correctly translated his walkyspeak above.
Jamie
I mean, Walky’s the only one who’s been given hard evidence. No one else has heard AG fail to remember something that was emotionally significant to Amber and also just happened.
thejeff
Amber told Danny at one point that she thought Amazi-Girl had been going out at night. That’s the closest I think we’ve come before.
This is more blatant.
Vika
…do you think it might be because Walky sees things on the face-value of it more than most people? That and how he sees things in the lens of fiction a lot, and the trope of split personalities being loosely used so often in media.. Just thinking, maybe his “everything is cartoons with you” thing might have actually given him some insight this time. Because of how the trope is used in fictional in a very unrealistic and fantastic settings and circumstances, lots of people would see it as fictional itself, like as for myself i knew nothing about DID in a real context before reading DoA and a lot of what Cerberus has written.. Lots of people would go “wait, come on. That’s not real, you must be confusing yourself” i imagine,, but Walky wouldn’t, even without any real life first, second, or third hand knowledge of DID. And.. yeah i guess it would make a lot of sense for Walky to notice that before most others.. Even if the same kind of mindset i think probably is what made him punch someone earlier today… Like, big thing he didn’t know was said. Sal barely reacted and basically understood and didn’t care much. Walky though may have thought that *something* needed to happen with him being a better brother and learning that, cuz is how fiction usually goes. Dramatic revelations need dramatic actions. Maybe he instinctively thought that then? Anyway
timemonkey
Nobody gets it so ar. Walky might be the first. A big part of what killed AG/Danny is that he didn’t get it so kept making mistakes. Amber talks about being different people but she never goes into it enough that others get she means literally and isn’t just being annoying by pretending her secret identity is a different person.
thejeff
It’s also changed pretty rapidly, which likely threw Danny off. While they were together Amber and AG not only shared memory, but would switch personas pretty casually. He kind of was dating both of them, even if it was officially only AG.
But yes, Amber (and AG) often talk about them as separate people, as if whoever she’s talking to already understands the distinction, but without ever making it clear.
I think he’s the first horse too. Everyone else seems to think it’s just a bit of a quirk, not actually full on split personalities. I’m not even sure AMBER is willing to admit it yet. Not out loud.

I have read zero moon knight comics (something that i desperately need to change), but I get it!
Actually, she seems to be taking it as a ‘standard neurotypical thing, that Amber, unlike most people, has the decency to actively delineate so that I can follow it’.
It’s not super helpful to “getting it” that Amber and Amazing-Girl have, up until just nowish, always remembered basically everything that the other does.
He Who Abides
True. I forgot that until just now.
Chromedome
Precisely this. There have even been several instances where Amazi-girl will forget she’s Amazi-girl and will suddenly remember and slip back into character. Does anyone know if that’s normal for DID? Or is Amazi-girl just a persona that helps Amber cope that Amber knowingly goes into? Remember when Amazigirl stoke Billie’s recorder to get details of Danny’s interview? Amazi-girl was pleased and smiled that Danny said he was interested in Amber. If it was DID, would she care? What about when Amber wanted to date Danny, but Danny was pulling away, saying he was interested in AG. Amber then revealed that she was AG and said it’s ok. Why would Amber be encouraging Danny to date someone else, if AG was indeed a separate entity? Basically, Amber claims AG is a seperate person when it’s convenient and claims otherwise when it’s convenient.
GlaceEx
It’s obvious isn’t it? She hasn’t come to accept the truth or in the Danny case she hoped she could share him with Amazi-Girl.
timemonkey
Amazi-Girl started as something that helped Amber cope but the divide grew larger and larger until they split. And then the split got worse as they started making their own decisions.
Fox
See that’s the frustrating thing, in real life DID develops in childhood, not in adulthood. So for AG to have started as an alter ego that Amber created on purpose is not consistent. The only way this would make sense is if Amber and AG split in childhood and Amber just thought she was making up AG, but generally people with DID don’t start out having full sharing of memory, it usually takes therapy to reach that stage. As a person with DID, I find all of it a bit backwards.
thejeff
That’s kind of a fair assessment. Much more so than a lot of the criticism. I think it’s been mentioned somewhere that DID wasn’t the original intention, but people saw and commented on enough echoes of it in the early presentation that he took it more in that direction.
She does have the common childhood abuse background and it’s not at all clear when the split happened – though the trauma of the robbery would be a likely moment if we’re not assuming that’s too late.
I don’t think it’s necessarily that Amber created AG on purpose. Even in the beginning when the split wasn’t so clear and they swapped back and forth more easily there were moments when she switched in more traumatic fashion – mostly when confronted by Sal, but also the early incidents with Blaine.
Fox
Yeah, I think it was more of a later decision too. The robbery was definitely too late, according to all current findings the cut off point for developing DID is at maximum 9 years old. It’s just all a bit muddled tbh, even with the early instances it seemed like a deliberate compartmentalization than a dissociation or switch. Also, the starting with great communication thing bugs me because it’s not consistent with DID without therapy. Also, there’s the fact that the voice and hair change were things Amber did deliberately and are now supposed to be part of AG.
King Daniel
To be fair on that last point, we’ve seen the Amazi-Girl alter without either the voice change or the hairstyle change. Case in point: when she broke up with Danny.
thejeff
And we’ve seen Amber do them deliberately without being Amazi-Girl. CASe in point: when she was posing as AG to discredit her and met up with Walky on the (not yet) Garbage Roof.
Fox
It’s just weird, why would AG take on those attributes just because Amber used them?
timemonkey
Maybe AG was willing to go with it because they were on mostly good terms with each other? Maybe she even liked having her own more unique look and sound?
thejeff
It was AG as AG who first used then, not Amber pretending to be AG. At least the voice, we don’t see the first time she mussed up the hair to go out as AG.
vlademir1
While DID itself develops in childhood, new alters can develop after that time frame to my understanding. Especially in those who aren’t undergoing treatment this happens, again to my understanding, as a result to psychological trauma which no existing alter is able to cope with effectively. One could argue thereby that the beat down of Blaine incited the already in practice compartmentalization of the AG persona and activities to begin schisming into a new alter which fully split when “Ryan” met Amber over a knife.
I could easily see an equally valid argument for a series of psychotic or schizophrenic episodes interlaced with co-morbid PTSD, though the completely divided memory suggested here breaks that (if only Amber or only AG didn’t remember the actions of the other this would still work, but as we now have both confirmed to not remember the other’s actions that doesn’t fit the type of dissociation that would fit such a mix).
Inahc
Not sure where you’re getting schizophrenia here? Amber hasn’t been hallucinating or having delusions.
yamikuronue
If you look into the “multiples” community out there, you’ll find a lot of people living with something-like-DID that claim they don’t have a disorder so much as a natural variation of human existence. These cases are definitely milder than what you might think of with DID. You’ll see headmates co-fronting (where both are active at once), sharing memories, caring about each other, dating each other, having different sexualities in the same body… it’s pretty cool.
Inahc
There’s also people who have full DID but hide it well enough that nobody (especially themselves) catches on until well into adulthood. I’ve seen quite a few “I just got diagnosed, WTF” posts on r/did
…and it also seems fairly common for one of the alters to stubbornly refuse to believe in it, even with plenty of evidence.
thejeff
If you look at those examples (and the separate ones) in sequence it’s clear that the divide has been getting worse. It’s not just random or when it’s convenient, but a clear progression.
At some point (after the break up with Danny?) we had scenes with Amber and Amazi-Girl talking to each other like different people. After Ryan’s stabbing, we know they stopped sharing memories – Amber’s been surprised by bruises and by reports of AG’s activities. And now of course, AG not knowing about Amber and Walky.
How do you explain today’s strip if AG’s only a separate person when convenient?
No-one else yet seems to have clued in to quite the mental implications of Amber/AG yet, even those that have mostly see it as a way for amber to deal with stress, not the full on case of DiD it’s becoming very apparent it is
walky may have gotten a bit of a headastart due to finding out about the memory gap, but he also figured it out within exchanging 5 sentences with amazigirl. dats still fast XD
yeah this strip is a very “Oh….Oh shit” moment, reading her line I almost want to read it as her forcefully implying to Walky to not call her Amber but the implication of a full blown split personality is there.
Tag at the bottom sort of sells it too now look at it.
He has a good read on Amber. I think it’s partially because he met Amber just as he was resolving to be better at considering other people’s problems and needs.
Things aren’t real until you have worded them, and Walky needs to make a flippant comment about everything. Amazigirl’s reaction will nail the realisation. Which is when the actual perception happens. Right now it’s not all that much more than something thrown out that others would have considered weird or impolite to voice, nothing of which would hold back Walky.
Remember when he figured out Ethan was secretly gay and fake dating Joyce through noticing his body language around her? He’s spent a lot of time around Amber lately and Amazi-Girl’s behaviour must be very different, like a whole different person’s.
I thought everyone who KNEW, knew about the “Jekyll & Hyde” syndrome.
Is Walky a bit slow on the uptake, or has he just not bee that close to the sitch until now?

As people have stated, like any mental symptom, it happens on a spectrum. Take a look at this site, it might explain it a bit better for you: https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/mental-health-disorders/dissociative-disorders/dissociative-identity-disorder Amber appears to be moving from “nonpessession” toward “posession” and creating a more defined split.
