Hmm. The idea is a natural one. Calling the recipient of an attack a 'direction' is simple enough; and adding terminology for that is fine and natural.
Calling the recipient of an attack the target of an attack would be even mnore natural; but magic already used that word.
A "direction" is what you declare as you declare them an attacker e. g. a player or planeswalker, but depending on the game mode/custom cards you are playing with a direction might be a different game object than a permanent or player (e. g. a zone or card not on the battlefield), so I introduce a new game term to serve as an umbrella for all of them.
The reminder text is silly, but would help hammer home that combat damage assignment between those blocking pairs stops entirely.
An Aura takes up space in your hand and your library. Zero card disadvantage or mana investment should be worth the difference.
I have not yet decided conclusively whether the trait should persist, but in that case I would change the wording of this ability.
I suggest checking out the combo creatures linked above. So far they are the more elegant execution of this idea with reminder text that actually gives a full picture of the idea.

Concept for white demon.
Optional: "That permanent entering the battlefield doesn't cause abilities to trigger."
Life gain necessary?
Sometimes I really notice how Specter, Spirit and Wraith don't need to be separate creature types.
Similar stuff appears at common.
Ferocious one.
More than meets the eye.
Wee one.
Look into my eyes, child.
See Ravenous Behemoth.
