Roles can and do help - what we've seen become a problem is when someone thinks their role is all they are.
Rose (one of our people) does a lot of what would be considered Protector role work. But she can also be a teacher, she has her own preferences in clothes, food, music, etc, she draws well, and she has the ability to "drop" one or more of us into the front unexpectedly.
She could be called a Protector, but there's a lot more to her than that role.
