All I have to do is imagine a person to create a persona? And if it's a
real person, it's not a persona? What if I imagine a cartoon character?
What do you call that? If a tree falls in a forest and hits a mime, does
anyone care?
To continue beating a dead horse.
Maybe there is a language issue here. I meant to use the word imagining
to mean making something up in your mind not only visualizing something
existing.
To me, characters in a movie, in a novel, in a cartoon or in a comic
book are all personas.
