Question: Untreated DID Progression

I was recently doing some research on DID and my sleep disturbances and thought, ‘what if I hadn’t caught it or done anything to treat it.’ That led to the thought, how does DID progress? I know these things can present differently from one system to another. I know how I became traumagenic DID, I know I am working with professionals to get better. I also know that since the system became overt, the symptoms have gotten really extreme.

What I don’t know: if therapy doesn’t progress quickly enough what comes next?

are we the only system anymore that likes system roles? we don't let it be the defining thing, and many alters roles has changed, but we like roles. it's not our full identity but our job. i see a lot of people don't like them. and we dont restrict to just one role either. but we still like introducing ourselves as "protector" "host" "persecutor" "trauma holder" "introject" "caretaker" etc. is that bad we do this? what does everyone else think?

Can people with did intentionally create a new alter? Like there's this character from a media I love who I'm pretty sure has did, and some of the voices in his head only appear after doing certain things and they sometimes want something that conflicts with what the host wants, except this one guy is there with him in almost every scene and he's like. the voice of reason, always trying to find the most peaceful solution and trying to do the right thing, but if the host wants to do something mean he says he's gonna be there with him the whole way. It made me wonder if he was intentionally created by the host as a sort of guide/caretaker/whatever the term is to help him through life, but I don't know if that's even possible. Is it?
