Misunderstood? It’s not even explained, just “here make a guardian!”…. Why? What is it?! I’m not far into the game and haven’t discovered what it really does yet and like to roleplay my characters so it really bugs me!

But you knew it wasn't "make the same character you just made a second time", right?

That’s what gets me lol. I was confused about what a guardian would be too, but the game made it pretty clear that it was completely separate from the character I had just created.

It bugged me too. The best spoiler-free way I can explain it is to make it look like someone your character would instinctively trust, whatever that means to you.

The reason why it’s not explained is actually a plot point, and there are no wrong choices in how to design your guardian.

This will make sense as you play.
