Earliest memories/signs of plurality?

[voxel]

While We only accepted Our plurality a few years ago, We've definitely had ongoing plural experiences since We were a toddler.

Our earliest plural memories are of becoming other people (mostly Our one friend—factives represent!) sometimes, and of autonomous imaginary friends (one of whom is still around as Aspen).

What are y'all's earliest memories of being plural? If you became plural more recently, I'd still like to hear!

We don't really have unambiguous memories of being plural, what with having a very poor autobiographical memory. But I do know of certain facts.
1. We decided very suddenly that we were trans/nonbinary in high school. This coincides, in our memories, with the switchover from Argantael as our masking personality, to Julian. We experienced pretty rapid fluctuations in sexuality as well, which Julian kept firmly hidden because it didn't feel like it, at all
2. Telling therapists, repeatedly, that it felt like we'd been at least three radically different people over the years
3. I remember the constant struggle we had with our different interests prior to selves-discovery, and how confusing the changes were. Sometimes we'd pick up something radically different, base our entire personality around it, and drop it within a few weeks to months. Notable mentions include: a brief fling with entomology (specifically honeybees), wanting to open a restaurant and go to culinary school, and going to university for classics on a whim despite not being interested in it for years at that point.

Mostly, the plurality is interjected looking back. The four of us (and other members of the system) retain specific and somewhat discrete memories of our childhood in a way that leads us to believe that we've been plural since a very young age.
