⁑ ⁎ ——————————————————— ⁎ ⁑ Description A type of sysling that originates from another alter/headmate losing a piece of themselves in some way and that piece/shard/fragment growing into a new headmate/alter naturally/unintentionally. ⁑ ⁎ ——————————————————— ⁎ ⁑ Etymology Combination of catharigenic|orma and shardling Catharsis + -genic + shard + sys(tem sib)ling alternate names: Catharigenic shardling / catharigenic seedling / cathariseedling ⁑ ⁎ ——————————————————— ⁎ ⁑ Design I used the catharigenic flag as base and added a star symbol thing to symbolise a shard or fragment. I think I was subconsciously thinking of star bits from mario galaxy and gratitude crystals from tloz skyward sword when I chose that star shape,,, I don't know, it just felt right lol I gave the star the colors of the fragment flag and added an outline to it with the colors of the sysling flag. And obviously used the catharigenic flag colors for the stripes in the background ⁑ ⁎ ——————————————————— ⁎ ⁑ Xiá rambles idk I made this term because earlier today I was trying to find something that described how our entity, Judy, formed and I found the term shardling but its description says its specifically for those formed purposefully and that doesn't apply to her at all ^^' I'm not gonna go into much detail but essentially Nova lost a piece of itself and later Judy formed out of this fragment. It kind of just happened there was no intent to make a new entity or anything 🤷 so yeah that's why I coined this term Hope that others find it useful too, I've tried to keep it pretty unspecific to be more inclusive
