"Elisha" is a fictional character, conceived by my friend and roleplayed by me in a couple of venues. "A," is myself, as I have specific concerns about using my real name in such an associated fashion. If I am referring to myself as Elisha, then I am speaking mostly in character. If I refer to myself as A, I am completely out of character. The confusing part is the amount of transparency Elisha and I share, in terms of mindset, experiences, and friendships. I do not roleplay friendships. If you are Elisha's friend, you are mine. If Elisha tells you how she feels about you, it is me. If, however, Elisha mentions that she's the genetic creation of a madwoman with a magically resurrected father figure and all sorts of other outside-of-the-humanly-plausible conventions... that's Elisha's backstory and characterization. Suspend your disbelief as you will. - A.
