Protector alters are primarily responsible for keeping the body (and other alters, especially the host) safe from physical and emotional trauma or triggers. Protectors often feel a strong sense of responsibility for the system and can see themselves as physically strong or more of a tank for trauma, but this doesn't mean they're unaffected. Protectors can vary a lot in their specific jobs from system to system, and one system can have many protectors.
