What is moirail?
A term coined in the MSPA webcomic Homestuck, used to refer to a strong platonic relationship. One of several types of romance (referred to as quadrants) for an alien species referred to as "trolls," although such a relationship can be formed between a troll and a human or between two humans as well. Represented by a diamond (<>), in the same way a sexual romantic relationship is represented by a heart (<3). Also referred to as palemance, pale mates, pale romance, the pale quadrant, and palerom. Is sometimes used by nerdy Homestuck fans to refer to their best friends.

Moirail - what is it?
Your soul mate in a non-romantic sense. You cannot live without this person; they complete you. They balance you. You would be lost forever without them. Moirails are not just "best friends". It's so much more than that. Moirail is the ultimate bond that you can feel with someone.
Equius and Nepeta are moirails. She's bubbly and cute and happy, so she can defuse him when he flies into a rage, which is quite often. He's strong and protects her. They couldn't live without each other.
