@Traitor Hmmm... To be honest, your first question is kind of a tough one to answer lol. First of all, a guardian will only reveal itself to the person it is meant for, should said person follow the butterfly to desired location. Until it's revealed to you, you won't even know that it's actually your guardian spirit. Like everyone else, it would only appear as a normal butterfly. Even before it's activation, it's not one of those "this thing has been following me everywhere I go, every single day" kind of thing, but more like it may have crossed your path once, twice, or maybe three times before in the past. You just never really paid much attention to it before, it's just a butterfly. You don't know it's calling out to you. Though something changes this next time around. You get a strange vibe, something compels you to follow this butterfly. Then after it's revealed itself to you, the guardian would likely tell you (as i'm sure we would all have questions that need answering) what it is, it's purpose for revealing itself to you, it's abilites, etc. I would find it hard to believe, as all that info is readily available, that one would find their guardian to be "haunting" them. Also if your character thought that their guardian was haunting them, wouldn't they be reluctant to enter a soul link? Without the soul link it'd basically render the character and guardian useless. Other than that, I'm not really sure how else to answer the question :/ I hope this made sense.
2)Can a guardian conceal their true form with another form? Right now I'm going to have to say no, unless the guardian uses illusion magic. Reason being that it serves no purpose if somebody knows the true appearance of the guardian. Again with the Bleach comparison o.o For example; just because another soul reaper may know what Ichigo's Zangetsu looks like doesn't mean that they will have the upper-hand in anyway.
3)No, not all guardians/ "guarded" humans have to get along. We are all different, including guardians, everybody has different ideals and personalities. Simply put, Wolverine doesn't always get along with certain other X-Men just because they are all X-Men. As for conflicts between a guardian and human? Sure, I don't see why not. I'm not saying every guardian has to be the perfect match for the human they are paired with. Feel free to spice things up. Just as long as you're aware, as mentioned earlier, that without the soul link the character and guardian will pretty much be useless in battle. So at some point there has to be that mutual understanding that "Ok... I don't like this person, but if I want to help we're going to have to work together"
