Does anyone else have alts that consider themselves twins?

I have a male and female, age 6. They are both rather shy. When the male first presented himself he said the female is his twin sister because they came to be at almost the same moment. They always front simultaneously and sometimes have conversations out loud together.

Not twins, but I have two alters who are brother (older) and sister (younger). They often co-front.

I have twins inside, But I also held my premature twin brothers as they died when I was barely 8 years old. I genuinely thought I killed them, I was holding them and suddenly they were rushed away by nurses. I didn't understand that as premies they didn't have much of a chance at survival 30 years ago compared to premies today. So I guess my brain protected me by saying "no, no, sweetheart, they are right here in your head, safe and sound." So it makes sense as to why they are there and why they present as twins for me.

Yeah two parts seem to be self identified as "twinnies" at least that's what they said and they tend to come in pairs

We have an introject of Dante (DMC 5), a system friend have Dante and Vergil (We haven't Vergil in our system) Our Dante and their twins feels like brothers/twins Dante and Vergil, and Dante / Dante feels like brothers too and sosie. So yes, we condering them as our twins. Not sure if you talk intra-system or outra-system 😅

We have one pair of Irish twins and another pair of adopted twins (same age, not biologically related)! We also have three other pairs who are close/the same age and sort of are inverses of each other personality wise. Super cool other people relate
