Swankid

undefined: Swankid is a role describing syskids and young headmates who hold/carry trauma specifically related to sexual trauma.

This is a more kid-friendly and non-suggestive alternative for littlex, in the case that a headmate/system isn’t comfortable with the term little for system children.

The swan represents a gentle reminder to the headmate's experiences while also not revealing too much information, alluding to life-altering bonds formed in youth. Swans are generally seen as elegant and youthful, symbolizing innocence and childhood.

This is not meant to romanticize or glamourize the headmate's trauma, but to remind them that there is nothing gross or wrong with them.

History
Swankid was made on August 10th, 2023, coined by the Angel Blade Sidesystem, with the flag designed by Doelike.
