split soul

Divided inner self

Split soul refers to a divided or fragmented inner self, often from trauma, moral conflict, or supernatural intervention.

In fantasy fiction, particularly the Harry Potter series, a split soul results from murder fragmenting one's essence into pieces that can be stored in objects.

More broadly, someone with a split soul feels torn between incompatible identities or loyalties: She felt like a split soul, belonging fully to neither world.
