People that remind you of characters from your source

I believe someone’s coined a word for this before, though I don’t remember what it is.

Is there anyone in your irl life who reminds you of a character from your source?

For example, one of my fictotypes is Leafpool from warrior cats, and I sometimes like to think of my irl sibling as Leafpool’s sister squirrelflight though my sibling isnt a fictionkin themselves.

Does anyone else do this with people in their life? Interested to hear stories!

I don't have a source, but there are real life people who register to me as what I call pseudo-creatures, aka humans whom I would mistake for fellow entities/Fae by their mannerism/personality. No one I'd be comfortable approaching to ask if my suspicions are correct though.

I get that... and I do have a source.

There are Jinn/Human Hybrids called Zuhri. They walk among us.

I'm not fictionkin nor do I have a source per say. However, I am dollkin. There was an older women I have met who collects/makes dolls. She gifted much a bunch of beads for jewelry making hobby for my sixteen birthday. While visiting her, she told me stories about her mother and about the dolls she makes. Sometimes I wonder if I was a doll in her collection in a previous life as my ex suggested. I think about her once in a while. I wonder if she felt comfortable around me because she recognized me from somewhere. I don't know.

spoken in more of a system sense than a fictionkin sense, but my girlfriend reminds me very very strongly of mary beth in my source, red dead redemption 2. i am an introject of arthur morgan, and i think my brain likely came up with my version of mary beth to make my memories of my source and my memories of real life coexist more seamlessly. i dunno, but i like thinking about her cuz thats basically just my girl.
