alters roles are different for everyone, some people have protectors, others do not, some people have fighters others do not, some have criers some do not, some have maternal like alters some do not, some people have self injurers others do not, some have alters that cook or clean and other household duties others do not, some have sexualized alters some do not, some have alters that mimic their abusers others do not... some have a whole mixture of alters that have all kinds of roles, jobs, purposes reasons for being created...

my point everyones internal system of alters is comprised in what ever ways they needed in order to survive.

my suggestion is work with your or a treatment provider, they will be able to help you to discover who is with in your internal system of alters and what their roles (or as my location calls is jobs, purposes, reasons for being created)
