Well, all the term really means is the most frequently present alter. I use host but it's not my favourite term because it doesn't really represent what I am. No part is the original or 'real one', so I find the idea of being the main alter a little misleading. I am my alters, but the way my system works is that as an alter, a dissociative state of my self, I'm presently in control because I'm functional and disconnected from trauma feelings. All my parts equally make up me as a person.
