Hey East Sun, welcome here, I sincerely hope you find your answers.
When I had my tag'along entity with me and I got him to speak, he'd do it in an eastern European accent. He didn't speak often.. But it was so thick that even when he didn't speak he would do it with an accent.
It's been described as quite toothy as east European accents go. I think it wasn't a conscious choice by me or by him but simply a way for the brain to split the two incoming streams into separate streams. If you don't tag em they might get mixed up and hell, it's complicated enough juggling two input streams as it is isn't it?
This mechanism also occurs in multiple personality disorder. It doesn't happen all the time, but as a rule there is some recognizable difference between the alters. I've seen MPD's shift and the difference is sometimes very subtle, sometimes extremely pronounced. I think it's somehow hard wired into us. Perhaps the different self image associated with the voice causes slightly different brain pathways to be used resulting in accents as a side effect.
Perhaps Carla picked up Ra's vibe as an ancient scholar. Scholars might be associated with British accents in her frame of reference. So the brain applied this accent because it'd just make sense. Similar to how when we dream of things we also color in the unknowns.
It's one of those weird things.
