I feel like I literally ‘am’ Sariel from Touhou sometimes. I’ve always felt a strong, unexplained connection to them ever since I first discovered them, and a lot of times I feel like I have ‘phantom wings’ for lack of a better term, flexing my shoulders as if moving my wings. I do use my identity as a coping mechanism, but I don’t think it was the sole reason it was created since my home situation started getting worse after Sariel started to grow in me. Not sure what to call myself?

You sound like fictionkin to me, if you believe that you ‘are’ Sariel in any way. Its totally okay and normal to use your identity to help you cope in hard circumstances.
