Islands of Personality

The Islands of Personality are locations in Inside Out inside Riley's mind. They are the representation of the different aspects of Riley's personality that define her as a person. The islands float above the abyss of the Memory Dump and are connected by a long rod to Headquarters. Each island is powered by a Core Memory, a memory of greater importance that is stored in Headquarters. Without this Core Memory, and island turns gray and is susceptible to destruction.

Before she turned 11, Riley formed five Islands of Personality: Family Island, Honesty Island, Hockey Island, Friendship Island and Goofball Island.

Following her family's move to San Francisco, as Riley lost all her Core Memories, all the islands crumbled one by one soon after. Eventually, new Core Memories were created; the five original islands were restored, some of them (like Family and Friendship) were expanded, and many new Islands of Personality were created.
