And yes, the others are correct, PTSD is more common (although it is often misrepresented in fiction), especially given the age she was at the time of the attack and the singular nature of the event.

People like Truddi Chase, the example I gave earlier, developed multiple personalities as a result of continued abuse from a very young age. Your OC developing multiple personalities after seeing her parents killed at the age of 12 or 13 is not outside the realms of possibility, but is certainly improbable at least.
