system role : grudge holder
a grudge holder is an alter who holds a grudge against or resents someone or multiple people more so than the rest of the system. they may specifically hate someone who they feel wronged the system after everyone else has begun to forgive them. this could be because they don't think that person deserves forgiveness, that they think that person still poses a threat to them, or that they think the other alters were coerced or felt pressured to just get over it. in general, grudge holder alters do this to protect their system from being taken advantage of again by the same person.

attraction label : mordant attraction
from the french word "mordre", meaning "bite", this is a specific type of bond between a vampire and someone they turned into a vampire. it can't be explained as exclusively sexual, platonic, romantic, familial, or any other traditional type of attraction. you would say you "feel mordant" towards someone.
mordeur/mordeuse are, respectively, the masculine and feminine form of "biter", meaning the vampire who turned the other. example: "my mordeuse saved my life when they turned me into a vampire."
mordu/mordue are, respectively, the masculine and feminine form of "bitten", meaning the vampire who was turned by the other. example: "my mordu is my greatest creation, and i love him more than anything."
this was made for a vampire alter in our system but anyone who identifies with vampirism can use this term!

system role : devotee
a devotee is an alter who is particularly dedicated to the care and wellbeing of, typically, one other person. that person is often another alter in one's own system or an alter in another system. a devotee may see themselves as being made for this person, or living to care for or serve them, whether that emotional attachment is romantic, platonic, familial, or otherwise. a devotee may have other relationships, but they may also be an alter who struggles to maintain relationships with other people, sometimes only fronting if it allows them to interact with the object of their devotion.
