In adaptations there is always a concern about character management, trying to find the right number of characters and corresponding subplots to follow. While there is the Composite Character, which combines multiple roles into one, this trope is the opposite where there might be a benefit to divide a character to serve different roles. It is a logistical issue, perhaps events are split into different locations in the adaptation and forcing a second character to step up. Maybe there is an attempt to avoid an Omnidisciplinary Scientist by including a full staff working a problem. It can also be a need for Cast Speciation, passing around specific traits to other characters to give them more to do. Not to be confused with Literal Split Personality, which is when one character is split into two or more separate people by some magical or super-scientific means within the fictional work itself. Compare Multi-Slot Character, a video game-specific trope in which a character's different incarnations are treated as separate characters. |

Code Geass: Paladins of Voltron (Code Geass & Voltron: Legendary Defender): A few, since there are now seven Paladins instead of five. Shirley and Milly take traits from Hunk, with Shirley being the one who goes to the Balmera and finds her lion on a Galra mining colony, while Milly is the one to inherit Hunk's cooking and mechanical skills. Lelouch and Rai are a decomposite of Shiro, with the former having Shiro's position of the Black Paladin and the latter being the one who was kidnapped by the Galra. |

Subsequently there was Alec Trevelyan of GoldenEye played by Sean Bean whose similarities including having very similar scarring to the right half of his face that was also caused by an explosion, both manage to infiltrate British society by feigning a lack of memory about his past association with enemies of theirs when picked up by English forces, each is thought of as a British patriot who fought for his country at the start, and both plan to get revenge on England by hitting London with a super weapon. Both also managing to arrange the attack in such a way that it could make a hefty financial profit as well. | |

To an extent, this applies to any character shared between the Hasbro and Takara toylines released around the time of Masterforce (as a good portion of them were not Cybertronians but instead humans using transtectors) to the point that on TFWiki.net there will be separate articles for characters from both toylines (e.g., Cloudburst and Phoenix have different entries despire them being the same toy). | |

From the video production of Cats; on stage, the character of Gus is usually depicted as a young cat but becomes an older cat for his big number. This number usually segues into another number with the younger version, "Growltiger's Last Stand". The older version was played by Sir John Mills, who was far too old, and blind, to do the required singing and dancing. So, they split both versions into two characters, with the younger Gus now named Asparagus. | |

Transformers: Rescue Bots split the original toyline and its storybooks' incarnation of Cody Burns into two characters for the animated series, with Cody made a child and the youngest of the Burns family and his original counterpart's concept as a young adult firefighter being recycled into his older brother Kade (who was created for the animated series alongside Cody's other older siblings Dani and Graham, though all three of them would get their own figurines when the toyline was retooled to be more consistent with the cartoon). | |

The Simpsons: "Das Bus" parodies Lord of the Flies, and Lisa and Milhouse divide Piggy's role. Lisa is the voice of reason who tries to keep everyone civilized, while Milhouse is the physically-incapable Load and Scapegoat whose glasses are used to start a fire. Krusty the Klown was originally planned to be Homer's alter ego (hence the similar appearance), however this idea was scrapped as they thought it was too complicated. The season 6 episode "Homie The Clown" would still explore this idea, as Homer goes to Krusty's clown college and becomes one of his impersonators, then gets in trouble with the mob due to the Mistaken Identity caused by his remarkable resemblance to Krusty. The "Treehouse of Horror V" segment "The Shinning" parodies The Shining, and Danny Torrance's part is split between the Simpsons children. Bart has the titular psychic power, Lisa sees the waterfall of blood spilling out of the elevator, and Maggie spells out "REDRUM" with her blocks. |

Lady Fairy: Because the villain of the story possesses the Peacock Miraculous while Marinette uses the Butterfly Miraculous for good, the various Akumatized villains are instead sentimonsters while their canon-selves are selected to be the Champions meant to stop them. While Stone Heart is the first sentimonster to wreak havoc in Paris, Lady Fairy turns Ivan into Stone Warrior to fight him. Riposte is a sentimonster while Ryuko (being a product of the Butterfly Miraculous instead of the Dragon Miraculous) is the champion meant to stop her. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series): This is common. In the manga, there was an unnamed escaped convict who took Anzu hostage and was defeated by Yami Yugi in a Shadow Game. The anime has two characters; Tatsu the Hedgehog, who has spiky hair and escapes prison, and Jiro the Yellow Spider, who takes Anzu hostage and is defeated by Yami Yugi in a Shadow Game. In one manga story, Honda tried to confess his love for Miho in his first real introduction. Because Honda was already an established character in the anime, Canon Foreigner Mayumi tries to confess to Jonouchi. Mokuba was still a Capumon player in the anime, his role as Yugi's first Capumon opponent who was locked in in a toy capsule was given to a new character named Warashibe. |

The Mandela Magazine: In Mandela Catalogue, the hooded Intruder and the one in the TV are the same character, just with a different appearance. Mandela Magazine depicts them as two separate Intruders, with the one in the TV implied to actually be stuck inside of it since the others carry it around. Cesar's Alternate is the same one that rushes at the camera after Mark tries to shoot him in Mandela Catalogue. Mandela Magazine depicts them as separate entities, with the rushing one gaining a tendency to loudly sniff at things. |

The character Graf Hugo von der Drache, better known by the name Hugo Drax, from Fleming's novel Moonraker has been split up quite a bit. Naturally there is the adaptation of Drax in the film version of Moonraker portrayed by Michael Lonsdale whose similarities include sharing a name, though it appears to be his real name rather than an alias, and position as a wealthy industrialist with confused national roots who for one reason or another tries acting English and produces rockets of some kind. Subsequently there was Alec Trevelyan of GoldenEye played by Sean Bean whose similarities including having very similar scarring to the right half of his face that was also caused by an explosion, both manage to infiltrate British society by feigning a lack of memory about his past association with enemies of theirs when picked up by English forces, each is thought of as a British patriot who fought for his country at the start, and both plan to get revenge on England by hitting London with a super weapon. Both also managing to arrange the attack in such a way that it could make a hefty financial profit as well. There is also Col. Tan-Sun Moon aka Gustav Graves from Die Another Day played by Toby Stephens and Will Yun Lee. In that both characters were members of a hostile force that winds up changing his name and faking his nationality to be English, subsequently becomes a wealthy businessman, manages to get knighted, and instigates a project that he sells as being beneficial for the world but actually plans to use as a weapon to help vindicate his people/party. Each also has some form of competition with Bond at an establishment called the Blades Club. |

Then it's revealed that Shredder and Oroku Saki, started as two separate beings, the Shredder was a demon and Oroku Saki was an ambitious Badass Normal who merged with the demon after making a Deal with the Devil. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): The character Hun, originally created for the 2003 animated series, ended up being a Breakout Villain, who also found his way into various other iterations of the franchise. However, the 2012 series had an In Name Only version of Hun, who, instead of being a huge, muscular martial artist, who is loyal to the Shredder, who eventually mutates into a famous mutant character from the franchise, is more of a Large Ham Bruce Lee Clone. However, the aforementioned characterisitics were given to a brand new character created for the series, named Chris Bradford. | |

A Diplomatic Visit: In show canon, Queen Novo is queen of the hippogriffs of Mount Aris, who later had to transform into seaponies and move underwater to hide from the Storm King. In this fic's chapter 18, Celestia mentions Queen Novo and the queen of the hippogriffs as separate beings. Chapter 21 cements this when Luna identifies them both by name to Twilight — Queen Novo is still queen of the seaponies of Seaquestria, while Queen Skydancer is ruler of the hippogriffs of Mount Aris (the first sequel would reveal that they still had to transform into seaponies and move underwater, becoming a part of Queen Novo's kingdom, with Queen Skydancer giving her life to hold off their attackers). In chapter 5 of the third sequel, The Diplomat's Life, when talking about Starswirl's allies, Celestia mentions that their Mage Meadowbrook, an Earth Pony and herbalist, is a different individual from the Mage Meadowbrook who was an Eastern unicorn known for her eight enchanted artifacts. |

Lyrical Nanoha: In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT, Precia's familiar Linith was turned into Linith Lanster (human form) and Linith II (cat). In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation, Granz Florian had most of the things that made him a Jail Expy instead given to Phil Maxwell. Although Maxwell plays the whole "Jail Expy" role much straighter than the game version of Granz ever did. In the original prototype, Chrono would have been Nanoha's initial enemy, as well as her eventual Love Interest. In the actual story, Chrono ends up having his name and design, while Fate ends up getting his role in the story. |

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021) takes a few character traits from the originals in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) and shuffles them around, creating new characters or Composite Characters. In 1983, Duncan is the Man-At-Arms of Eternos, the adoptive father of Teela, and a Team Dad for her, Adam, Cringer and Orko. Due to an Age Lift making the 2021 Duncan the same age as Adam and Teela, much of his character was shifted around. His Team Dad role went to Cringer, his position as Man-At-Arms went to his Evil Mentor Kronis before he took the name when he got the Power of Grayskull, and Man-E-Faces became Teela's Parental Substitute. 1983 Cringer was a Cowardly Lion when not transformed into Battle Cat. In 2021, Cringer is Older and Wiser compared to his original self, his cowardice now given to his nephew Kitty. |

The character of Lil' Boo from Halloween Horror Nights is an interesting case of this. The pumpkin was carved as set dressing for 2017's Trick 'r Treat scare zone. The prop was reused a few times before going viral in 2021, after which it became a massive fan-favourite design with plenty of demand for merchandise. The original sculptor of the pumpkin is a freelance illustrator going by Emory Arts, who after seeing the popularity of the design wanted to use it for their own creative projects, and so a deal was quickly worked out where both Universal and Emory could get exclusive creative and merchandising rights for their own versions of the characters. This has given fans two versions of the character with subtle design differences and name spellings: Universal's Lil' Boo and Emory's Li'l Boo. | |

Not a "character" but an entire promotion had this done to it in the 1990s through 2010s, when the NWA was running a revival of Championship Wrestling from Florida and WWE was running a revival of Florida Championship Wrestling, which were really two different but interchangeable names for the same company.note FCW was the B Show of CWF. When CWF lost the rights to its own name during a temporary shutdown it just used the name of the B show for all of its shows until it could get the rights back, after which WWE started using the B show name for its own farm league. Both relied on footage and wrestlers from that company, just to make it more obvious. | |

In the main Shrek films, The Big Bad Wolf from fairytales is humorously depicted as a crossdressing wolf who wears a grandma's clothes (alluding to Little Red Riding Hood). In Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, we're introduced to an antagonistic, menacing wolf character simply named the Wolf. Although he is later revealed to be the universe's equivalent of The Grim Reaper, he is obviously designed as another take of the original Big Bad Wolf, and is actually described in promotional materials as "the Big Bad Wolf". | |

Les Misérables has Reformed Criminal Jean Valjean who is on the run from his past, being chased by the original Inspector Javert, a police officer born in jail by a gypsy mother and a convicted criminal father who nevertheless rose to the rank of Inspector and him being a insanely Lawful Neutral By-the-Book Cop. Both of these characters are based on Eugine Francois Vidocq, an 18th-century French businessman running from his criminal past, only for him to eventually reach an arrangement with the authorities that allowed him to use his experience as a criminal to catch other criminals, becoming a law enforcer that served as the acknowledged inspiration of Edgar Allan Poe's Detective C. Auguste Dupin. | |

Harry Potter fanfic My Immortal: Voldemort and Tom Riddle (sometimes spelled Tom Ridd) are separate characters. Voldemort is still the Big Bad, but his secret identity is now apparently Satan. Tom Riddle is a heroic goth who runs a shop in Hogsmeade and has nothing to do with the Dark Lord. Snape in Chapter 30. Apparently his name is just "Snape" (when it's spelled right) and there's a completely different guy named "Serverus", although he was probably supposed to be Sirius. |

Cacus is a fire-breathing giant from Greek mythology, which the author of The Divine Comedy seems to have found just too ludicrous.

Blind the Thief is a trio of quarreling brothers who were combined into a monster instead of a single person. His storyline of being a bandit who fell into the Dark World is given to Ghanti, although she's portrayed more sympathetically than Blind. |

In Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, Berg Katse was revealed to be a mutant who could switch genders at will. His female form appeared unmasked as the Dark Action Girl long before The Reveal. In both edited dubs, Battle of the Planets and G-Force: Guardians of Space, that female form either identified herself as a sister or a "loyal follower". BOTP adapted her into at least four separate characters (Zoltar's sister "Mala", a spy named "S-9", another spy named "Hannah", and a reporter named "Ms. Ostric"), due to the writers not knowing they were all intended to be the same person. BOTP also had the habit of taking some Galactor commanders that had more than one episode appearance and adapting them into two separate characters, due to the episodes being translated out-of-order. |

In the novel Live and Let Die, Bond has an ally named Quarrel, who is later killed in Dr. No. Because Dr. No was the first 007 book to be made into a film, the later Live and Let Die movie gave Quarrel's role in the plot to Quarrel Jr., the Suspiciously Similar Son of the original. | |

Powerpuff Girls Z In the original cartoon, Sedusa was first introduced disguising herself as a woman named "Ima Goodelady" to manipulate Professor Utonium. In this anime, the design of the Ima Goodelady persona was used to create Professor Utonium's astronaut wife independent from Sedusa. Fittingly, the anime's English dub has Rebecca Shoichet voicing both characters. Princess Morbucks was split into two sisters; her more direct counterpart Himeko Shirogane (reverted back to Princess Morbucks in the dub) who has her Attention Whore and Spoiled Brat tendencies, and her older sister Miko (Duchess in the dub) who has her superhero wannabe traits and even wears the original Princess' golden tiara. The Powerpuff Hotline's physical appearance appears as the Mayor's car, while its function and color scheme is given to Robot Dog Peach/Poochi (who is mainly based on Talking Dog). |

In DuckTales (1987), Donald Duck was Demoted to Extra. The reasons were both executive and creative. Everyone felt that Donald was too iconic and he would overshadow the (at the time) relatively underexposed Uncle Scrooge. Nevertheless, aspects of his traditional role in the Comics were distributed to other characters, who eventually evolved aspects of their own personality: Launchpad McQuack ends up being The Ditz and Butt-Monkey accompanying Scrooge and the nephews on the adventures, sometimes complicating their adventures by being incompetent, impulsive and short-sighted. Fenton Crackshell is more or less just like Donald. Poor white-collar scrapper, a suitor to Gandra Dee (a Daisy Expy), butting heads with Scrooge while also being irreplaceable to him, and finally a civilian alter-ego to the Superhero Gizmoduck (much like Donald and Paperinik). The Spin-Off series has Darkwing Duck whose civilian alter-ego Drake Mallard is caretaker to a highly active and energetic young charge like Donald. Darkwing Duck also has Donald's distinct hot-head Small Name, Big Ego personality from the comics and likewise resembles Paperinik. DuckTales (2017) also does this with DW himself. The actor who portrayed him in the Show Within a Show turns out to be very egotistical (which was Drake's big flaw), enough to turn him into Negaduck. Jim Starling's replacement for the potential rebooted movie retains his noble qualities, being modest and never giving up on protecting others. No wonder this universe's Drake Mallard ends up deciding to join the hero business for real. Donald does appear in these episodes but as a minor supporting character but never in a big role and he didn't have much of his original personality and characteristics. The Donald of the classic cartoons and the Carl Barks comics had an occasionally belligerent and backbiting relationships with his nephews and was famously cantankerous. The Donald of the original DuckTales cartoons is mild, beloved by his nephews and very kind and affable. |

The James Bond franchise has examples of this. Often times aspects of characters being split apart into new ones in different movies. The character Graf Hugo von der Drache, better known by the name Hugo Drax, from Fleming's novel Moonraker has been split up quite a bit. Naturally there is the adaptation of Drax in the film version of Moonraker portrayed by Michael Lonsdale whose similarities include sharing a name, though it appears to be his real name rather than an alias, and position as a wealthy industrialist with confused national roots who for one reason or another tries acting English and produces rockets of some kind. Subsequently there was Alec Trevelyan of GoldenEye played by Sean Bean whose similarities including having very similar scarring to the right half of his face that was also caused by an explosion, both manage to infiltrate British society by feigning a lack of memory about his past association with enemies of theirs when picked up by English forces, each is thought of as a British patriot who fought for his country at the start, and both plan to get revenge on England by hitting London with a super weapon. Both also managing to arrange the attack in such a way that it could make a hefty financial profit as well. There is also Col. Tan-Sun Moon aka Gustav Graves from Die Another Day played by Toby Stephens and Will Yun Lee. In that both characters were members of a hostile force that winds up changing his name and faking his nationality to be English, subsequently becomes a wealthy businessman, manages to get knighted, and instigates a project that he sells as being beneficial for the world but actually plans to use as a weapon to help vindicate his people/party. Each also has some form of competition with Bond at an establishment called the Blades Club. In the novel Live and Let Die, Bond has an ally named Quarrel, who is later killed in Dr. No. Because Dr. No was the first 007 book to be made into a film, the later Live and Let Die movie gave Quarrel's role in the plot to Quarrel Jr., the Suspiciously Similar Son of the original. The character Francisco Scaramanga from the novel The Man with the Golden Gun was also split up into multiple characters in the series. For starters there is the adaptation of Scaramanga from the film version of The Man with the Golden Gun played by Christopher Lee. Beyond sharing the name both have the iconic golden gun weapon as well as the nickname that comes with it, both early in their lives serves as a trick shot at a circus, both killing a man who killed a circus elephant he had befriended which led to them running away and finding themselves taken into a powerful group (the Spangled Mob and the KGB), eventually becoming the world's most notorious assassin. Other elements of his character can be found in Franz Sanchez from Licence to Kill portrayed by Robert Davi. Including elements such as his more thug-like nature, both are associated with a drug-running scheme/organization, and Bond manages to get into his inner circle by getting a job under him with his cover eventually being blown by one of the villain's associates. Then there is Tiago Rodriguez, better known as Raoul Silva, played by Javier Bardem from Skyfall who takes some cues as well. With regard to how he is a Hispanic criminal/agent of some kind portrayed as Bond's equal/dark counterpart who he must track down and defeat, because he has been causing the deaths of several agents, after returning from a leave of absence that led to everyone believing he was dead and in need of redeeming himself to MI6. Both could also be described as being sexually ambiguous to some degree. They also each have a "William Tell" scene with Bond. In both the novel and the movie Thunderball, SPECTRE hires a pilot to steal a pair of nuclear warheads. However, the movie changes their agent from Giuseppe Petacchi, a single pilot from World War II who is willing to sell out for a high enough price, and splits him into François Derval, NATO pilot, and the thoroughly-evil Angelo, a SPECTRE agent trained to kill him and take his place. In For Your Eyes Only, Emile Locque and Eric Krieger divide the qualities of Donald "Red" Grant from From Russia with Love. Locque is the psychotic murderer that escaped from prison, Krieger is the muscular blond henchman. |

The fourth episode of Lupin III: Part 6 is a Whole-Plot Reference to Ernest Hemingway’s The Killers, but with a few major twists. One of the key deviations is that the role of George, the diner employee who spends the story chatting with the would-be hitmen, is split into two separate characters: an unnamed waitress who is Bound and Gagged in the back of the diner, and Fujiko, a third prospective assassin who has impersonated the real waitress in order to find Anderson. | |

Pokémon Adventures: In the X & Y saga, the attributes of the Player Character are split between X (The Hero who moved from unknown lands) and Y (Grace's daughter). In the Gold and Silver saga, the male and female Executive designs are used for Carl and Sham. In the Heart Gold and Soul Silver saga, the remakes' Executives make an appearance, including Arianna and Archer, who use updated versions of the original designs. Similarly, the Ruby and Sapphire saga uses the same Admins as the games (with the addition of one Canon Foreigner for each team). The OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire saga introduces the remakes' Admins... with the same names as the old ones (They're codenames). The Diamond and Pearl saga has Diamond (the male player character) as Pearl's (the rival) childhood friend however Platinum (the female playable character) is the one fighting gyms. The Sun and Moon saga does something similar with Sun (the male player character) and Moon (the female player character). Sun takes on the Island Challenge while Moon is the one who befriends Lillie and Gladion. |

Real-Time Fandubs did a dub of Shadow the Hedgehog wherein the cast divided Black Doom and Devil Doom from being the same character (the latter is his final form) to two separate characters: The Devil (from the Bible) and his "hyper-intelligent-verbose dog" respectively. This also has the unintended effect of changing canon as Black Doom is killed by Shadow in the original, but The Devil is just emotionally distraught over Shadow killing his giant murder-dog and retreats to Hell physically unharmed. | |

Death Note (2017) does this for Light Yagami. While the character Light Turner is ostensibly the counterpart for the manga's protagonist, he quickly partners up with Mia Sutton, the supposed counterpart to Misa Amane. As it turns out, Mia in fact has a lot more in common with the original Light Yagami than Misa, as she's the one who develops many of Light's more ruthless and evil tendencies, such as his burgeoning God complex and willingness to murder innocents and law-enforcement officials. Light Turner, on the other hand is a strong case of Adaptational Heroism, inheriting Light Yagami's sense of justice and desire to create a better world, but otherwise being firmly opposed to adopting more ruthless measures, to the point that it leads to a conflict with Mia that becomes a key plot point. | |

The movie and cartoon version of Wasabi is a college student specializing in applied physics, and fights using huge energy blades that are much bigger than a sushi knife. However, Momokaze, a villain, happens to be a chef and and master swordswoman who fights with sushi knives made out of graphene. Not only that, but she has a blue color scheme like the comics version of Wasabi, whereas the movie and cartoon Wasabi has a green color scheme. | |

Scavenge the Stars: This work is a retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo, but the role of the Count, Edmond Dantes, is split. The role of abused prisoner who takes on the identity of a new rich count (countess here) for revenge against those who've wronged her goes to main character Amaya Chandra. However, the ruthless but affable chessmaster who is prepared to destroy even the families of his aggressors goes to Amaya's father and mentor, Boon. In fact, it's Boon who sets up Amaya to take the Countess identity. | |

In Shortpacked!, Ultra Car was originally an Automated Automobile, but later became a Robot Girl. In Dumbing of Age, Ultra-Car (car form) is a comic book character and there's also Carla, an ordinary human who looks like Shortpacked UC's humanoid chassis, has some aspects of her personality, and is a fan of the UC cartoon. (Carla's unseen parents, tech billionaires who created an app called Zoomer, are likewise based on aspects of Ultra-Car's "parents", Joe and Rachel Rosenthal, that don't apply to the Dumbiverse Joe and Rachel.) | |

Transformers: Super-God Masterforce turns the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy into (the transtector of) a new character named Ginrai (a human). Though later fiction would retcon Ginrai's body as having originally been made for Optimus (who had died again in the prior series), Ginrai would remain his own character, and even when the transtector was given sentience at the end of the series he was still treated as separate from Optimus. He would later undergo a sizeable case of Divergent Character Evolution when he was reformatted into Victory Leo. Though it is worth noting that current Transformers brand manager John Warden has stated that he does not really see a distinction between Optimus and Ginrai. To an extent, this applies to any character shared between the Hasbro and Takara toylines released around the time of Masterforce (as a good portion of them were not Cybertronians but instead humans using transtectors) to the point that on TFWiki.net there will be separate articles for characters from both toylines (e.g., Cloudburst and Phoenix have different entries despire them being the same toy). |

Castlevania (2017): Due to the showrunners (particularly Warren Ellis)’s disdain for poor Grant, his position in the story gets divvied up and given to original characters in his absence. Greta fulfills his role as the fourth hero who befriends the heroes in battle and gets a happy ending while other ally Zamfir gets his use of daggers and rogue appearance. Not to mention, Trevor mentions meeting a “Pirate of the Roads� so Grant himself does technically really exist as well, albeit as The Ghost. | |

In the Berserk Prototype, a more upbeat incarnation of Guts faces off against an evil aristocrat named Vlad Tepes, who is a demon that devours people. His major concept would get used for two early characters in the Berserk manga proper: the sociopathically evil Baron of Koka Castle (who Vlad's personality steered more towards), and the more nuanced and sympathetic Count. In addition, elements from his Apostle form would make it into the designs of other demons from the series. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In-universe example in the episode where the Gaang sees a play detailing their adventures. In one scene, a mysterious masked warrior named the Blue Spirit rescues Aang from Prince Zuko, when in reality the Blue Spirit was actually Zuko in disguise. Justified in that the writer of the play wouldn't know that. Played for Laughs in the non-canon, chibi short "School Time Shipping", where all the boys (except obviously Sokka) want to go out with Katara; she ultimately winds up with the Blue Spirit, despite the fact that the Blue Spirit's secret identity is one of the romantic losers. |

Avatar: The Last Alicorn: The roles of Jet, Mai and Katara are all split up, sometimes even among the same character. Prince Blueblood represents Jet pre-season 2 in being antagonistic to team avatar despite sharing similar goals at first. However, he then takes on the role of Mai, in being the "prince zuko" of the fic's Love Interest. "Flowerbloom" represents Mai's combat skills, and being one of the Azula's best friends. Suri takes on Jet's obsessive pursuit of water benders when in Ba Sing Se. Rainbow Dash has Katara's combat prowess and fierce temper. Fluttershy meanwhile has Katara's healing abilities, and motherly personality. |

Castlevania: Nocturne has a case of this with Annette. This version of Annette takes her game counterpart’s name and position as Richer’s Love Interest from the games but otherwise is Anette In Name Only being a virtually different character altogether, both in appearance and backstory. However another character Tera takes her design from how Anette looks in Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles and gets Anette’s role of being turned into a vampire in the Bad Ending. Also a case of Composite Character since Tera takes similarities from Sypha as well as Anette and her own game counterpart (albeit to a much lesser extent). | |

Also while Canon Foreigner Alice was a Composite Character character of Jill and Claire originally, the latter two appear in later films, making them examples of this. Jill and Claire’s story importance and Action Girl moments are given to Alice (who even gets superpowers like Jill) while they become Adaptational Wimps and are Demoted to Extra. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2016): In the game, Rusl was said to be the one who forged the Ordon Sword. While he is still a swordsman in the manga, the work for the blade was done by an unseen character named Gine. In the game, the Goron chief Darbus was turned into Fyrus when he touched the Fused Shadow. In the manga, Luda's friend Darb becomes Fyrus, and he assimilates the chief when he tries to fight him. |

In The Lord of the Rings multiple character traits and narrative beats of the original halfling hero Bilbo of The Hobbit are carried out by Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin his Hobbit sucessors. Frodo has his adventuring age of 50, his linguistics and poetry, his sword Sting (though Sam also wields it) and of course like Bilbo wields and gets changed by the Ring. Sam has his love of gardening, flowers and fireworks as well as echoing Bilbo taking on the giant spiders in Mirkwood with his own assault on great spider Shelob. Merry carries out Bilbo's role as a dear ally to a great king (Thorin - Théoden) and being by said king's side as he dies from his wounds from battle, while also like Bilbo aiding in the defeat of a great evil (Smaug - Witchking). Pippin has Bilbo's important Took heritage and especially Bilbo's inital clumsy and comical foolishness and "dead weight" qualites that annoy his companions, before coming into his own as a warrior. | |

The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island, a tie-in book with King Kong (2005) designed as a Speculative Documentary of Skull Island's native life, utilizes a lot of unused concept art designs from the movie and reinterprets them as different fauna species. For example, the hornbill-like Foeducrista was an early design for the bat-like Terapusmordax, and the Tartarusaurus was an early design for the crocodilian Foetodon. | |

In the original comic and video-game versions of Earthworm Jim, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head was an Evilutionary Biologist focused Mad Scientist and Bob the Killer Goldfish was a more generic would-be tyrant. In the cartoon version, the Professor loses his evilutionary schtick and is a generic Mad Scientist, whilst Bob gains a fairly heavy Hollywood Evolution motif (despite, ironically, talking like a bombastic fundamentalist Dixie preacher). | |

Lantana, based on Speaking in Tongues, does this to Sarah Phelan: in the play, she is a patient of therapist Valerie Somers who is having an affair with a married man and talks about this in their sessions. Only at the end of the play is Sarah's lover confirmed to be Valerie's husband John. In the film, Valerie has a gay male patient named Patrick Phelan, who tells her that he's having an affair with a married man. While Valerie clearly has suspicions about Patrick, and John does admit to having cheated on her, Patrick's lover is seen elsewhere and he has no relevance to the rest of the mystery. John's lover is never named or seen in the film, though curiously Valerie's secretary is named Sarah. | |

RoboCop: Frank Miller's original script for RoboCop 2, which was later adapted into Frank Miller's RoboCop, had a character named Kong, a drug addled merc working as one of OCP's Rehab who'd later become the subject for the RoboCop 2 project. While naturally, Cain would retain the drug addict and RoboCop 2 subject aspects for RoboCop 2, among the many elements recycled for RoboCop 3 were the Rehabs, with Paul McDaggett taking over the Rehab officer/merc aspect from Kong. Clarence Boddicker is split into two characters in RoboCop (2014). Antoine Vallon takes Boddicker's role in Murphy's origin, while Rick Mattox absorbs his sick sense of humor, making him a composite of Boddicker and the aforementioned Paul McDaggett. |

In The History of Middle-earth, this process is apparent in the development of what became The Silmarillion. In the Lost Tales Finrod Felagund and his nasty, treacherous cousin Celegorm were originally the same elf. He'd sworn an oath to seize the Silmaril jewels from anyone who found them, by any means necessary, then swore an oath to aid the family of Barahir in anything they wanted, then met Beren who wanted help getting a Silmaril for King Thingol. The conflict of interest was so bad it split him apart into two characters! Finrod was also the father of Galadriel and her brothers; this is why, at the beginning of Fellowship Of The Ring, Gildor refers to himself as part of the "house of Finrod," and this name is used in the appendices as well. Later on, Tolkien merged Finrod with his son Inglor, and renamed the father of the house to Finarfin. Finwë Nolemë, the original king of the Noldoli (Noldor), was Turgon's father but not Fëanor's, and led the Noldoli at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. When Tolkien merged Finwë Nolemë with Fëanor's father Bruithwir who died in Valinor, he then split the Composite Character into Finwë, his son Fingolfin, and his grandson Fingon — hence why their names are so similar. In The Lost Road Elendil has one son, Herendil. In The Lord of the Rings Herendil has been split into two sons, Isildur and Anárion; Herendil resembles Isildur more, with a fiery and somewhat rebellious spirit and a fascination with Sur (Sauron). |

Gargoyles and Turtles: Unsung Defenders (Gargoyles & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles): As part of the fic involves a mix of features from various TMNT adaptations, Ch’rell and the Shredder are colleagues; in the 2003 series, Shredder and Ch’rell were the same person, with ‘Shredder’ being a robot suit controlled by Ch’rell. Potentially applies; April’s friends make reference to watching the greatest hits of Lou Jitsu at the cinema, but in Rise Lou Jitsu was the screen name of Hamato Yoshi, and to date there is nothing to indicate that this version of Splinter/Yoshi ever worked in the film industry. |

An in-universe example ended up being a major plot twist in The Boondocks episode "The Story of Catcher Freeman". Both Granddad and Ruckus tell wildly different, questionably accurate versions of the same story of a slave revolt involving Catcher Freeman/Catch-a-Freeman, a female slave named Thelma, a slave master named Master Colonel, and a cowardly house slave named Tobias. After a few minutes on the internet, Huey finds Tobias and Catcher were actually the same person: a cowardly house slave who joined the revolt after he killed his master accidentally. | |

To an extent, the space arc characters are based on the crew of Star Trek: The Original Series, with Arthur as Kirk, Lancelot as Spock and Guenevere as a Gender Flipped McCoy. But a The Hero of Three Faces strip revealed that a space arc riff on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan would have seen the death of Merlin — who in the Star Trek analogy is generally a permanent Doctor Who crossover — in Spock's role, with Nimue as McCoy. (The other difference is that the death would have been permanent, because AKOTAS had already done a looser riff on Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, with the resurrected character being Guenevere). | |

A Song of Ice and Fire is part high-fantasy and part Historical Fiction by other means. George R. R. Martin modelled Westeros and the main cast on the Wars of the Roses and The Hundred Years War, and generally works by taking certain traits, events, characters from history and then divide and multiply it several times. The most interesting case is that of Richard of Gloucester, King Richard III. At least four characters — Ned Stark, Stannis Baratheon, Tyrion Lannister and Theon Greyjoy have aspects dealing with his life and legend. Ned Stark shares Gloucester's popularity in Northern England. Stannis has his No Social Skills among the English nobility, stemming from his rigid sense of duty and justice, as well as his gifts as a military commander. Tyrion Lannister is essentially a tribute to the rhetorical splendor of Shakespeare's Richard III, complete with disability and Deadpan Snarker Angst, he's eventually framed for the death of his nephew (like some historians believe of Richard himself) and becomes so notorious that a play is made of his life in Braavos which does for him what Shakespeare did for his counterpart. Theon Greyjoy's reputation as the killer of the young Stark Princes directly echoes the Princes of the Tower legend, with Theon subsequently tortured into becoming a disabled freak with a limp called, "Reek"note get it Rick, as in Richard! Likewise, King Edward IV of the House of York is bifurcated into King Robert Baratheon (a former womanizing warrior grown fat and lazy in age) and King Robb Stark (for his unpopular marriage that alienates a key supporter). Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick is converted into Tywin Lannister (who also has bits of King Edward Longshanks and King Philip le Bel) and Walder Frey. While Henry Tudor (who landed in England under the Welsh Dragon) could be Aegon VI or Daenerys Targaryen (who also has aspects of Tudor's granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth). |

One Piece: Being about pirates, the series splits the real-life Edward "Blackbeard" Teach into Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate and Marshall D. "Blackbeard" Teach. Due to the popularity of Mr 2 Bon Clay’s Seiyū Kazuki Yao, Oda created Franky who shares similar quirks (goofy faces, dancing and crying) with Bon Clay allowing for Kazuki Yao to become part of the main cast as a different character. This only applies for the Japanese version though as Bon Clay and Franky have different voice actors in other dubs. The ninth Non-Serial Movie Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura being a remake of the Drum Island arc (somehow set after the Water 7 arc despite Chopper being introduced long before) splits Arc Villain Wapol into two, one side being his Laughably Evil original self and other being his Canon Foreigner brother Musshuru who’s more serious and a better fighter, allowing for Luffy (who had Second Gear at this point) to have more of a challenge; he’s even sent flying by Luffy in the same way Wapol was. |

Godzilla: The Heisei-era Godzilla films implicitly split the original Showa-era version of Mechagodzilla into two characters. Mechagodzilla (introduced in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II) fills the role of Godzilla's robotic duplicate, while SpaceGodzilla (introduced in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla) fills the role of his Evil Doppelgänger from outer space (in the Heisei continuity, Mechagodzilla is a heroic Humongous Mecha created by humans rather than an evil one created by aliens). Godzilla: Final Wars splits the incarnation of Godzilla from Godzilla (1998) into a completely separate character known as "Zilla" (something previously alluded to in Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!), in effect acknowledging the In Name Only nature of this incarnation. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) sees Dr. Serizawa horrified by the existence of the Oxygen Destroyer like his counterpart in Godzilla (1954) — only since he didn't create the thing unlike the original Serizawa, this Serizawa lacks the original's immense guilt over it. Godzilla vs. Kong: Due to there being only one Godzilla in the MonsterVerse who survived the Oxygen Destroyer, the original Godzilla's role in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla of possessing Mechagodzilla (who'd been built over his skeleton) is given to King Ghidorah, who was killed in the previous film. Godzilla Minus One splits up Dr. Daisuke Serizawa's character from the original Godzilla (1954) into two separate characters. The protagonist KÅ�ichi Shikishima gets Serizawa's Tear Jerker self-hating Shell-Shocked Veteran status as well as his Heroic Sacrifice role in the climax (though unlike Serizawa, Shikishima survives), whilst Kenji Noda gets Serizawa's Science Hero role as creator of the device that brings Godzilla down. |

Annie (2014): The closest thing we get to Rooster Hannigan is both Guy and Annie's unnamed fake father. Guy is the one who plots to send Annie away with phony parents for his own gain, and "Easy Street" is now sung by him and Hannigan. The latter is the one who poses as Annie's father (alongside her "mother"), and nearly succeeds in kidnapping her, as Rooster and Lily did. The film has two Annies. One looks like the canon Annie and just appears at the beginning to bait the viewers into thinking there's no Race Lift, and the other is the protagonist. |

Magic: The Gathering: In prerevisionist lore, consisting of early novels published before Wizards of the Coast took a more direct hand in overseeing the game's storyline, Lord Ith's name was Barl and the former name was a formal title; thus, Barl's Cage was intended as "the cage that holds Barl". In modern lore, Ith is his name, and Barl was instead the artificer who built the cage. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades draws heavy inspiration from the Harry Potter franchise but puts its own twists on it, in particular breaking up the traits of that series' Power Trio among its six main characters, the Sword Roses. Oliver Horn and Nanao Hibiya have some of Harry's traits: Oliver, The Hero, is a solid all-rounder who doesn't shine in any particular magical field but is good enough to adapt to anything, while Nanao The Lancer got primarily his athletic abilities in broomsports and seems to have some connection to Oliver's deceased mother, whose soul Oliver himself carries. Ron Weasley seems to have been broken up between Guy Greenwood and Michela McFarlane: Guy got Ron's Impoverished Patrician background and Hot-Blooded personality, while Chela inherited Ron's status as the protagonist who comes in familiar with the magical world and is able to serve as a Miss Exposition to guide her friends through it. Hermione Granger maps pretty well onto Katie Aalto and Pete Reston: Katie got Hermione's looks and social advocacy on behalf of nonhuman races, while Pete inherited her Badass Bookworm status and is a Mage Born of Muggles. |

Arthur, King of Time and Space: While the strip mostly uses the same characters in every arc, the baseline and space arcs have different Maimed Kings. The baseline has Le Morte D Arthur's King Pellam, father of Pelles and Pellinore, and the space arc has King Amfortas from Eschenbach's earlier Parzival, who is not related to the Pellinores at all and, in AKOTAS, is a computer. To an extent, the space arc characters are based on the crew of Star Trek: The Original Series, with Arthur as Kirk, Lancelot as Spock and Guenevere as a Gender Flipped McCoy. But a The Hero of Three Faces strip revealed that a space arc riff on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan would have seen the death of Merlin — who in the Star Trek analogy is generally a permanent Doctor Who crossover — in Spock's role, with Nimue as McCoy. (The other difference is that the death would have been permanent, because AKOTAS had already done a looser riff on Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, with the resurrected character being Guenevere). |

Tiny Toon Adventures has a Cast of Expies, but Bugs Bunny gets two successors: Buster Bunny and Babs Bunnynote "No relation". Babs has more of his "wacky" traits, such as the ability to impersonate others, while Buster inherits the suave personality of a Straight Man/Deadpan Snarker. Since the original Bugs was a Wholesome Crossdresser, it made a lot of sense to divide him into a male and female character For the record...Babs was not a Lola counterpart, because Lola did not exist yet. | |

The Unseen Hunt: Ruby Rose is actually split into two characters in this fic's AU: the human Ruby, and the Grimm possessing her body. It's revealed that the human Ruby's eyes were actually baby blue, and the trademark silver eyes in this continuity belong to the Grimm Ruby. | |

In Transformers: Animated, we're not quite sure what happened with Skywarp and Cyclonus. In Transformers: Generation 1, Cyclonus may or may not be an upgraded Skywarp (blame error-prone animation for a confusing Transformation Sequence when multiple characters are upgraded at once.) The Animated version, however? Skywarp is one of several clones of Starscream, each with one trait of the original taken Up to Eleven. Skywarp represents his cowardice. As for Cyclonus, he's a brief (but cool) cameo, but All There in the Manual tells us that his "internal chronometer" is way off, he is seeking someone named Galvatron (that's Megatron's upgraded form in G1 and several other series), and he has some circuitry in common with Starscream, particularly his (now disabled) self-preservation instinct. This hints without saying that Cyclonus is from the future and used to be Skywarp. | |

Dan Shive of El Goonish Shive has said that the original version of Grace was a very different character with a much snarkier attitude, who was eventually written out in favor of the current Grace (then known as "Shade Tail" and eventually given the same name). The old Grace returned in a fashion, however, with many of her personality traits instead applying to pre-Character Development Susan. Oddly enough, the original version of Shade Tail was blonde, while Susan is a natural blonde who dyes her hair. | |

Quantum Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, being an adaptation/alternate continuity of Digital Devil Saga, plays a fair bit with the characters. Lupa from Digital Devil Saga is broken down to three characters. First is the in-book Lupa, who has a similar personality to the game one, as well as appearance and powers, but a completely different background. Second is Canis Volk, who takes game Lupa's position as the leader of the Wolves tribe. And third is Gregory Woyzeck; in the games "Greg" was Lupa's past life incarnation, but in the books Gregory is still alive and they are separate people. The book actually Lampshades this trope as Cielo remarks that Gregory reminds him of Lupa. The Angel in the book shares all physical characteristics with the game version, but has none of the Kick the Dog moments (those instead go to Madam Cuvier or Shin Minase), and a different backstory (no previous acquaintance - much less romantic relationship - with Gale). |

A Devil's Diamond: Koichi Hirose is Adapted Out. As such, his role in Diamond is Unbreakable is split among different characters. Issei takes the role of Josuke's close friend, the two being Childhood Friends rather than newly introduced when the story begins like Koichi was. Asia takes the role of Rohan's disciple, Rohan being Asia's contract. Gasper takes the role of being both the softer counterpart to Jotaro and Yukako's target of affections. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: G3's Rainbow Dash was split between G4's version of Rainbow Dash who has her name and look and Rarity who has her fashion-conscious personality and accent (albeit an Atlantic accent instead of a wholly British Accent). The three are the trope image. This example however was mostly coincidental as both Rarity and Rainbow Dash started out as Sparkler and Firefly from G1 before having their colours and names changed due to copyright issues. The personality angle is actually a little more complicated than that. See, the G3 Rainbow Dash was presented as, variously, "Oneesama with an eye for fashion who is womanly but still knows how to have fun", "A bubblier, more immature fashionista who loves to dress up", and, in the toys & comics, a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak. G4 Rainbow Dash is a straight-up tomboy, whilst Rarity is also a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak. |

The Legend of Zelda (Akira Himekawa) In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1999), Sheik and Zelda are two different characters. Zelda asked Impa to brainwash her, so her mind was inactive while a "Sheik" persona took over. In the game, Sheik is just Zelda in disguise. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (2005) has a couple of examples. Agahnim is presented as a Hylian sorcerer who entered Ganon's services. In the game, Agahnim is Ganon's alter-ego. Blind the Thief is a trio of quarreling brothers who were combined into a monster instead of a single person. His storyline of being a bandit who fell into the Dark World is given to Ghanti, although she's portrayed more sympathetically than Blind. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2016): In the game, Rusl was said to be the one who forged the Ordon Sword. While he is still a swordsman in the manga, the work for the blade was done by an unseen character named Gine. In the game, the Goron chief Darbus was turned into Fyrus when he touched the Fused Shadow. In the manga, Luda's friend Darb becomes Fyrus, and he assimilates the chief when he tries to fight him. |

Obnoxious Teen, a recurring character in Hatchetfield, was originally intended to make cameos in various installments before being revealed as one of protagonists of Nerdy Prudes Must Die, Pete Spankoffski. However, when Black Friday would make him appear opposite a character he shared an actor with, Robert Manion, Obnoxious Teen became a separate character, played by Joey Richter. It was then planned for Obnoxious Teen to be revealed as a supporting character in Nerdy Prudes Must Die, Pete's friend Ritchie Lipschitz, but after Manion's Role-Ending Misdemeanor, the role of Pete went to Richter, making that impossible. At this point Nightmare Time 2 established Pete and Obnoxious Teen were in two different places at the same time, so it was also impossible to fold the character back into Pete. Word of God claims that a character trying to force Emma to sing in beginning of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is not a reccurring character of the series, Man In a Hurry, but a sepparate character, Coffe Jerk. This is despite the fact they share the same actor and outfits, when Starkid strongly utilizes different outfits to help the audience diffirentiate multiple characters played by the same actors. It is believed by fans this is a retcon to fully cement Man in a Hurry as a one-joke Flat Character. |

When the Birdy the Mighty remake manga started, it imported the character of Hikawa from the OVA series — albeit the name "Seichiro Hikawa" going to a character in the backstory and his grandson Shogo Hikawa being the one to fight the eponymous Birdy. Or that's how it seemed initially, as it's ultimately revealed Hikawa was really pulling a My Grandson, Myself and "Shogo" Hikawa, much like in the OVA, was really a de-aged Seichiro. | |

In both the novel and the movie Thunderball, SPECTRE hires a pilot to steal a pair of nuclear warheads. However, the movie changes their agent from Giuseppe Petacchi, a single pilot from World War II who is willing to sell out for a high enough price, and splits him into François Derval, NATO pilot, and the thoroughly-evil Angelo, a SPECTRE agent trained to kill him and take his place. | |

Pokémon: The Series: While Wally from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire is absent from the classic Pokémon anime, his attributes are divided between May's brother Max (the kid who looks up to The Hero) and her Rival Drew (green-haired rival). Ethan's original Gold and Silver design appeared as Jimmy in The Legend of Thunder. His remake design later cameoed in Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions as an entirely separate person. Silver, the rival from Gold and Silver, had a cameo appearance in The Legend of Thunder, in addition to serving as the basis for his Expy Paul from the Diamond and Pearl anime. The nurse design◊ from Red and Blue served as a basis for both Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny. Ironically, later games would redesign the nurses to look closer to Nurse Joy. |

Bria Tharen from the Legends novels The Han Solo Trilogy appears to have her traits and role in the story divided between two Anthology characters in the new Canon: Rogue One's Jyn Erso and Qi'ra from Solo. Like Bria, Qi'ra is an Old Flame to Han Solo before he met Leia, who is involved in the criminal underworld and whose eventual betrayal of Han contributes to his Cynicism Catalyst. Unlike Bria, though, Qi'ra has no involvement with the Rebel Alliance unless one counts her letting Han sell the coaxium to the Cloud Riders, with that aspect of Bria's character being taken up by Jyn; namely that they're both Action Girls who are heavily involved in the mission to steal and transmit the Death Star plans and both die in the process of completing their mission. Unlike Bria, Jyn is never romantically involved with Han (they apparently never even met). | |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014), the traditional Shredder roles are split between Oroku Saki/The Shredder, and his pupil, Eric Sacks. Sacks leads the Foot Clan openly and is the mastermind of the plans, while Saki largely functions as a bruiser who keeps threats like the Turtles at bay. This is largely due to the fact that the film originally intended Eric Sacks to actually be The Shredder, with reshoots and edits used to insert Saki back into the story after the backlash the film received over making the Shredder into a white guy. | |

Sixes and Sevens: A much more literal example. Agent Axis from the comics was a villain literally fused together from a German (Berthold Volker), an Italian (Aldo Malvagio), and a Japanese man (Hiroyuki Kanegawa). Here the first two are individual characters, and their deaths would make Agent Axis' creation seem unlikely. Kanegawa hasn't made an appearance, though that's understandable since the fic focuses on the European front. | |

In Dragons: Riders of Berk, the book's main villain influences two characters. The first is the similarly named Alvin the Treacherous who rules over the Outcast Tribe. The second is Viggo Grimborn who has a similar physical description and personality. | |

Queens of Mewni: The character design for who in canon is Crescenta the Eager was given to an original character named Solena the Smitten, while Crescenta has a different character design altogether. To be fair, this was before canon established the bunny-cheeked ballerina queen was Crescenta, and was based on a rumor that Solena the Smitten was the ballerina queen's name, so blame Outdated by Canon for this one. Much of the genocidal tendences of the canon Solaria the Monster Carver got passed on to original character Meteora the Relentless (not to be confused with Eclipsa's daughter), allowing this version of Solaria to have Adaptational Heroism. |

Boba Fett’s role in Star Wars Legends has been greatly split up between himself and two other characters. New Canon Boba keeps his Heel–Face Turn into more of an Anti-Hero as seen by The Book of Boba Fett but his space adventuring badassery raising and training a Jedi child is given to Din Djarin aka Mando from The Mandalorian (with Jaina Solo traded out for Grogu) while his position as ruler of Mandalore is given to Bo-Katan Kryze who was introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and becomes the tritagonist in Mando’s show. | |

When creating Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Ken Akamatsu took the female characters of his previous work Love Hina and split them amongst his new cast. The most obvious of these was Naru Narusegawa being split into Asuna Kagurazaka (the protective side) and Chisame Hasegawa (the nerdy side). | |

Mortdecai is based on several of the Charlie Mortdecai novels by Kyril Bonfiglioli, with the plot being sort of a composite of the first novel, Don't Point That Thing With Me as well as the unfinished final novel The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery. In the first book, Mortdecai meets Johanna Krampf, the nymphomaniac wife of a wealthy American businessman, and is married to her in later installments. Johanna is characterized as pretending to be a Brainless Beauty, and beneath the surface having ruthless and cunning traits. Here, Mortdecai is married to Johanna, who is cunning, but a rather different character, belonging to British high society. There is also a separate character, Georgina Krampf, the nymphomaniac daughter of a wealthy American businessman, who gets the book Johanna's Brainless Beauty façade and hidden untrustworthiness. | |

In The Bridge: Monster X and Kaizer Ghidorah are this. In most Godzilla media, they are treated as the same character in two different forms. Here, they are different personalities sharing a body that have completely different memories and behaviors in a Jerkyll-Hyde relationship down to being able to talk to each other mentally. It's actually somewhat of a subversion as it is later shown the two personalities were born from a fractured mind of their old life as an Xilian soldier. X has their old personality and mannerisms but got amnesia, Kaizer got their memories but went insane. But even after they come to terms with this, they are still treated as two different characters. | |

My Hero (2008): When the series was being reworked into My Hero Academia, several characters were split up: Jack's appearance and personality was retooled into Deku, while his Hero Support background went to Melissa Shield. The homemade costume and vigilante aspects would carry over to Kouichi Himawari, and the salaryman would become Sir Nighteye (who in and of himself is Deku all grown up), though none of them are anemic. Snipe was basically split into his pre- and post-Positive selves: All Might's status as a beloved hero and his Game-Breaking Injury at the hands of a villain were originally traits of Positive, while Snipe's own design was added in as a U.A. staff member and retained his aloof nature. |

In Saiyuki, via the source material being Journey to the West, Goku (Wukong) and Gojyo (Wujing) possess traits from the original Hakkai (Bajie). The former takes on his gluttony (and possibly to nod to the other Goku/Wukong of anime and manga fame), while the latter possesses his lust for women and his tendency to argue with Goku/Wukong. | |

The short film 9 had 5 as the old, wise, one-eyed mentor of the title character. Its feature length adaptation gave much of 5's original personality and role to 2 (a Posthumous Flat Character in the short), while 5 kept his one-eyed appearance and was relegated to 2's pupil. | |

This is basically the reason why Soundwave wasn't in Transformers (2007). His role was originally going to be tracking down the Witwicky glasses through the use of deployers like Frenzy and Ravage. But there came a moment when he would change his alt-mode from a helicopter to a Humvee, as per Transformers tradition of Size Shifting. When Michael Bay came on board, he made a verdict of no size changing for the robots, insisting they fit inside their vehicles. So to fit the story together they had to split up the role among different characters, with the reduced screentime they chose to leave him out rather than do it sub-par. The helicopter Blackout was the closest approximation (with extreme loyalty to Megatron and a dislike of Starscream) and the cop car Barricade filling part of his role. The incarnations of Wheeljack and Mirage in Transformers Riseofthe Beasts are implied to be completely separate characters from the Wheeljack and Mirage equivalents (also known as Que and Dino, respectively) seen in Transformers Darkofthe Moon. |

Broly the antagonist of the eighth Non-Serial Movie was given a canon Distaff Counterpart named Kale in Dragon Ball Super who fulfills a similar role as The Berserker. However, later Broly and his father Paragus would become canon in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, yet if the video game interactions are to be believed canon Broly and original Broly are essentially two different characters (one is chaotic and evil, the other is Not Evil, Just Misunderstood) and are treated as such by the cast. | |

The Mask of Zorro famously splits Zorro up into two characters. There’s the original Zorro from the novel, classic movies and comics Diego de la Vega (played by Anthony Hopkins) and Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas) whom Diego trains to be his successor as Zorro. Funnily enough there’s a further decomposite as Alejandro Murrieta is based upon the Real Life outlaw Joaquin Murrieta who is not only Alejandro‘s brother in the film but actually inspired the original author Johnston McCulley when creating Zorro. Not to mention Alejandro, actually takes his from name Diego’s father Alejandro de la Vega from the original novel and Diego when disguised plays the role of “Bernardo� the manservant who is another character entirely in original stories — just to make things even more confusing. | |

In the anime adaptation, the Wanted Club is instead led by a new character named Miss Killer, while Fujiko is actually another of the group's victims. The fourth episode of Lupin III: Part 6 is a Whole-Plot Reference to Ernest Hemingway’s The Killers, but with a few major twists. One of the key deviations is that the role of George, the diner employee who spends the story chatting with the would-be hitmen, is split into two separate characters: an unnamed waitress who is Bound and Gagged in the back of the diner, and Fujiko, a third prospective assassin who has impersonated the real waitress in order to find Anderson. |

Transformers: In Transformers: Animated, we're not quite sure what happened with Skywarp and Cyclonus. In Transformers: Generation 1, Cyclonus may or may not be an upgraded Skywarp (blame error-prone animation for a confusing Transformation Sequence when multiple characters are upgraded at once.) The Animated version, however? Skywarp is one of several clones of Starscream, each with one trait of the original taken Up to Eleven. Skywarp represents his cowardice. As for Cyclonus, he's a brief (but cool) cameo, but All There in the Manual tells us that his "internal chronometer" is way off, he is seeking someone named Galvatron (that's Megatron's upgraded form in G1 and several other series), and he has some circuitry in common with Starscream, particularly his (now disabled) self-preservation instinct. This hints without saying that Cyclonus is from the future and used to be Skywarp. In the G1, Transformers Galvatron is best remembered as being super Ax-Crazy. In Transformers: Armada, when Megatron became Galvatron he retains much of his sanity, but his ax craziness handed over to Cyclonus who was already like that in his first appearance. Which is ironic since in G1 he was the sanest of the Decepticons. In addition to changing the events of happening on present-day Earth to a time-travel adventure that took place in its past, Beast Wars did this to Optimus Primal and Beast-era Megatron by making them legacy characters to their Generation 1 namesakes, as the toyline originally had them as not legacy characters, but as the G1 characters themselves with new forms. Transformers: Rescue Bots split the original toyline and its storybooks' incarnation of Cody Burns into two characters for the animated series, with Cody made a child and the youngest of the Burns family and his original counterpart's concept as a young adult firefighter being recycled into his older brother Kade (who was created for the animated series alongside Cody's other older siblings Dani and Graham, though all three of them would get their own figurines when the toyline was retooled to be more consistent with the cartoon). |

In Free!, Rei's prototype Kaede was this. According to this interview, when creating the anime, High☆Speed! (2013) author Kouji Ouji wanted an original character to interact with the cast during their time in high school. His appreciation for beauty (as well as his being on the track team and general lack of swimming knowledge) went to Rei, while his easygoing attitude went over to Nagisa. His physical appearance, it would seem, went to Seijuurou (and his sibling Momotaro, as of Eternal Summer). Other characters who inherited his atmosphere include Nitori and Sasabe. | |

There is also Col. Tan-Sun Moon aka Gustav Graves from Die Another Day played by Toby Stephens and Will Yun Lee. In that both characters were members of a hostile force that winds up changing his name and faking his nationality to be English, subsequently becomes a wealthy businessman, manages to get knighted, and instigates a project that he sells as being beneficial for the world but actually plans to use as a weapon to help vindicate his people/party. Each also has some form of competition with Bond at an establishment called the Blades Club. | |
