Space-Soother

undefined:

A space-soother is a sentient headspace who soothes headmates, whether actively or by their presence.

This process is often the result of a symbiotic connection between a sentispace and a headmate.

Examples

 * a substitute-space may bring back to life a specific headspace (or a part of it) to sooth a headmate missing it during their tasks.
 * a protective sentispace may secure a stressed headmate from potential threats/danger to sooth them.
 * etc.

History & Etymology
This term has been coined on November 25th, 2023, by Pluralpedia user Oceanic-Lanterns, to describe a connection they experienced.

This term was created as a sentient headspace counterpart for the Soother term. As such, the user thought it was important to add the word "space" to it. But the word "space" could not be added as a suffix to make a word like "Soothspace", because then the term could have been classified as a -space term, which is not accurate. So the word space was rather put as a prefix. Moreover, the dash between the two words makes it look like "soother" is a suffix to "space", thus emphasizing that this soother term is a sentient headspace role, and not a headmate role.
