Do you know a collective term for ‘‘protectors’’ and ‘‘caretakers’’? I don't know of that makes sense.. but like 😭 a term to describe both of them at once (e.g., ‘‘yeah, sorry, you'll have to talk to a ____ about that!’’)
That makes sense! I've never heard a term for it so I'm just going to coin it!

Guardian - An umbrella term for alters who are protectors, caretakers, both, or similar roles.
The light brown and shield is for protecting roles The pink is for the care and love that they have while fulfilling these roles The blue and medical cross are for the gentleness of caretaking roles
Hopefully this helps and if you're not a fan of the term, here are some words that could also work: Patron, chaperone, guide, shield, and advocate
