in my head recently I've been using the term "ally" more than "caretaker" to describe that relationship trope

caretaker feels a bit one-sided, no one is *just* a caretaker, it really minimizes the character

but an *ally,* that gives them much more agency & freedom in their characterization, i rly like it

and i think it sounds cooler lol
