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.

Examples

   </persona>
   <persona sex="M" age="youth">
      <persName>Edward Hyde</persName>
   </persona>
