A character who is deliberately impersonating another character doesn't count. For simplicity's sake, we'll also leave out characters that have been "duplicated" by some means; we can just assume that they look the same. (This includes [[OurClonesAreIdentical clones]], [[TwinTropes twins]], [[TimeTravelTropes past/future selves]], etc.)

See also the {{Doppelganger}} index.
