Every Ghost has a unique personality and identity, though not necessarily a name, with the exception of Osiris’ ghost in the Destiny 2 DLC “Curse of Osiris”, in which his ghost is named Sagira. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Don't Call Me Ghost]]''</ref> This personality may be intended to complement that of the Chosen they're meant to eventually revive. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Compliments]]''</ref>


When a Ghost revives their Chosen, they are bonded together from that point forward. A "neural symbiosis" begins between them. Every Ghost has one specific person they are meant to revive. For some, their Chosen is a sort of "soul mate" and they know instinctively when the right remains have been found; <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Savin (Ghost Stories)]]''</ref> for others, they simply search until they find someone they feel is worthy of the Light or has a "spark".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Pressure]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Confession of Hope | Part One]]''</ref> Many Ghosts have spent the time since the Collapse searching fruitlessly for their Chosen.
