Note

Note that a persona is not the same as a role. A role may be assumed by different people on different occasions, whereas a persona is unique to a particular person, even though it may resemble others. Similarly, when an actor takes on or enacts the role of a historical person, they do not thereby acquire a new persona.

Example

<person sex="M" age="adult">
<persona sex="M">
<persName>Dr Henry Jekyll</persName>
</persona>
<persona sex="M" age="youth">
<persName>Edward Hyde</persName>
</persona>
</person>
