I think Multiples seem best
When you slide seamlessly between them but do it with a definately noticable change after a slight pause. Famous cases of multiple personalitys have been the subject of a few movies if you could dheck them out for inspiration.
"Three Faces Of Eve"? might be one title from the 1950's?
Arguing with yourself might be a method of expressing what you want to show them.
Glue a mask to some easily hidden portion of your body that is normally hidden, then pull up a shirt or whereever, whatever it looks like, good enough to fool someone in the dark it's obviously a mask?
If it looks just like a mask, this is good enough too because a psycho is trying to scare people who know no one but a psycho would ever dress like that.

When I was a teen and worked at a restaurant, I worked with girl who lasted on the job one day. She may have had this condition. I never forgot when she saw herself in a mirror her other personality came out. She was angry at the mirror and speaking with her teeth clenched " What are you doing here? I told you not to come to my work"
It was tragic at the time, but now 30 years later... she was quite a character

A few thoughts. First of, depending on the context and length of time you have in front of your audience, four personalities may be difficult to convey well. I also wonder if a mute little girl will come across well in a short period of time. That said I think you are on the right track. I would consider making one character 'normal', then switching between one that is scared and timid (your little girl character) and one which is psychotic and very aggressive. I think doing much more in a short period of time would be very difficult.Lords of Chaos, LLC

Unfortunately those Personality Quirks
Often do not appear from a brain tumor or something physical. Many times it is that person's way of expressing themselves or dealing with being abused as a child.
They become "someone else" for escape or of a way to assume some little more "power" or to seem more powerfull.
Years ago a long documentary interveiwed several people that shifted personalities very distinctly and that was their personal history.

I Meant..
Hide the location of a mask , like under a shirt you are wearing, glue it to your stomach, lift up the shirt, show them the mask, make it talk as a different "person", maybe a personality crazy but intelligent, or very quiet but mumbling threats to anyone able to hear them..
If you all ready have a shaved head (yours) mount the mask on the back of your head, then just turn around when "He" wishes to speak.
Mounting the mask upside-down would be slightly crazy too!
If you put the mask over your bare butt, I don't know you then, I didn't suggest it!
No I did not.
Butt if you pharted everyone would be saying "Shorty has bad breath!"
