== History ==
The quadrant system was first introduced in famous webcomic Homestuck by Andrew Hussie on August 10 2010. In the comic, the quadrant system refers to the types of romance experienced by trolls. While humans only have one form of romance, trolls experience four; matespiritship (the flushed quadrant), [[Moirallegic|moirallegience]] (the pale quadrant), [[Kismesic|kismesissitude]] (the pitch quadrant), and [[Quadrant System|auspisticism]] (the ashen quadrant).<ref name=":0" />
Although people have used quadrant romance to describe relationships since Homestuck introduced it, mx-princey on Tumblr formalized the terminology on 25 May 2020 for ease of use.<ref>[https://archive.ph/bmKxa Quadrant-Based Attraction Model post by mx-princey]</ref> In this post, they also coined flags for the four quadrants, and in a post shared details on matespritic attraction and bonus flags.<ref name=":1" />
