Origin[]

On June 11th, 1990 a twenty nine year old Mark Peterson took an unidentified twenty six year old woman, who wore a ribbon on her left wrist, out for coffee. They had met two days prior and hit it off, while they were having coffee she started to show Peterson some of her twenty one personalities. After coffee Peterson suggested having sex together which she agreed to. A few days after the date Peterson was arrested for sexual assault. Apparently, two of her personalities did not consent. One was a twenty year old who emerged during sex, the other was a six year old who didn't understand what was happening.

Peterson was charged and convicted of second-degree sexual assault because it is illegal to have sex with someone who is mentally ill and cannot give consent. The verdict was eventually overturned but the prosecutors refused to retrial due to the event stressing the unknown woman into gaining an additional twenty five personalities.

Effects[]
