I'm glad you asked, you see emoticlones are physical personifications of a person's identity, for instance let's take Beast Boy for example, this can even partilly be true for Steven but for different reasons, ok so Beast Boy's mask is happy right? Happy makes it so he doesn't break down after someone brings up his parents, happy makes it so he doesn't look upset after a nightmare involving abuse by Galtry.

Sadness is often the repressed part of Beast Boy's mind, he'll get sad when a teammate is hurt/missing/dead but he sadness never releases the darker stuff because what makes Beast Boy more sad then anything is seeing his friends feel bad.

Anger is the part that gets frustrated when he has a nightmare, when he feels powerless, when he hurts his friends by mistake, when someone else hurts his friends, when he remembers that at six he couldn't save his parents from falling down a waterfall despite his powers.

Wisdom is the one that is always wondering stuff, that remembers languages like swahili, because his parents were scientists he wants to be like them.

Without Beast Boy they don't exist as they're just physical representations of part of his identity in a mental world
