The personality isn't "ready made" and fixed or unchangeable. The personality is part of the ego which navigates reality through a filter that was made up of learned behavior from experiences and traumas. Behind the ego, one may say, is the soul. That part of us that is connected to the whole of reality and the universe. In the world of Suburban RED, the personality/ego dies and is reborn, renewed, as a snake sheds its skin and emerges as if renewed.

The shaved head look was actually an accident. My intention was to have my hair be perhaps a quarter inch in length, so I went about sheering my hair (which was orange at the time) and after cleaning the extension to the razor which keeps the hair away from the closer razor, I forgot to replace the attachment and accidentally shaved a line too close to my scalp than planned. Suddenly I had a hair style that was very radical for me (being more of the longer hair type). This offered for a chance to experience the toggling of my own ego and sense of who I am.
