fronters
Those presenting publicly
Fronters are people who put on a false front—presenting themselves as tougher, wealthier, or more connected than they actually are.
The term often appears in hip-hop culture to call out those who fake authenticity: These fronters act hard but they're soft.
In plural systems (people with multiple identities sharing one body), fronters are the alters currently controlling awareness and interaction with the world.
