On that note, the line between Similar Plot and Similar Character is blurry, but not so much as I had feared, at least thus far. I pegged about 20% of the examples as being \\\"Character-Based\\\" as opposed to \\\"Plot-Based\\\" and, of those, I was only wrong about 10% of them. Also, several of the examples containing character-named works I left on the \\\"Story\\\" side of my ledger initially.
Anyway, here are my revised descriptions. (The page image will go to JustForFun/SurprisinglySimilarCharacters)

Stories:
->\\\'\\\'\\\"Because it is always plagiarism, especially when it isn\\\'t.\\\"\\\'\\\'
Sometimes, two works are obviously [[WholePlotReference inspired by each other]], or the younger one contains minor {{Shout Out}}s to the older one, or they are coincidentally considered DuelingMovies.
This page is \\\'\\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\'\\\' a collection for them. Here, we should experiment with finding some less obvious, and probably \\\'\\\'nonexistent\\\'\\\' connections, through wordplay, and selective examples of plot points.
This page is where the \\\'\\\'plots\\\'\\\' or \\\'\\\'settings\\\'\\\' between two stories are similar. If all that is similar are the \\\'\\\'characters\\\'\\\', that belongs in JustForFun/SurprisinglySimilarCharacters instead.
\\\'\\\'\\\'Spoilers ahead!\\\'\\\'\\\' Mostly unmarked, so read at your own risk.

Characters (picture redacted):
->\\\'\\\'\\\"Because it is always plagiarism, especially when it isn\\\'t.\\\"\\\'\\\'
Sometimes, two works are obviously [[WholePlotReference inspired by each other]], or the younger one contains minor {{Shout Out}}s to the older one, or they are coincidentally considered DuelingMovies. Or sometimes, [[JustForFun/SurprisinglySimilarStories the plots just sound familiar for some reason]].
And sometimes, it\\\'s only the characters who seem like clones from another work. If you\\\'re clone hunting, you\\\'ve come to the right place.
If one character is an obvious {{Expy}} or a CaptainErsatz of the other, then they don\\\'t belong here. Here, we should experiment with finding some less obvious, and probably \\\'\\\'nonexistent\\\'\\\' connections, through wordplay, and selective examples of plot points or character traits.
This page deals where just the characters are similar; the only similarities in the plot relate to the characters listed. For cases where \\\'\\\'the plot\\\'\\\' is the similar, go to JustForFun/SurprisinglySimilarStories.
Compare DarthWiki/PaintTheHeroBlack and the SugarWiki/VillainWhitewashingService. Bonus Points if you find out that a hero in one story would be a villain in another.
