Because so many people erroneously conflate Plurality with Dissociative Disorders (which is a actually a subset of Plurality) we want to take a moment to express that Ranma’s “cat version” is, as presented, a dissosiative disorder and a coping mechanism to “escape” from cats.
In real life ... there are people with dissosiative disorders who have non-human headmates ... such as "being a cat"
Basically everything described about Ranma's "cat state" echos actual dissositive experienes that people can actually have.

It’s quite common for popular fiction to include elements of plurality.
The show Severance includes a type of Plurality similar to what *some* Plurals experience but in that show Systems are created & Switching is controlled through technology.

"You need to be really looking—particularly in primary school—for girls who are currently being overlooked & missed. And when you get adolescent girls who present with eating disorders/self-harm, it’s worth saying, 'I wonder if there’s an element of autism here as well.’"
