This is a trope where one character will adopt one or more traits of another character to remember the latter. Sometimes, the original character who had that habit, phrase or trait is forgotten, and people mistakenly think that the habit/trait/phrase started with the second character. An example could be James Bond's Catchphrase: "Bond, James Bond." In the first James Bond novel, it started with the Bond Girl Sylvia Trench, who introduced herself with "Trench, Sylvia Trench"; but only if Bond had adopted the catch phrase as a nod to her. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Note that the person being remembered doesn't have to be dead. See also Dead Person Impersonation and My Sibling Will Live Through Me. Also, because it's a Death Trope, there will be spoilers. Examples: |

Dragon Age: Dark Fortress: After Ser Aaron, known far and wide for his outlandish (but mostly true) Tall Tales, dies fighting the Red Wraith, his loyal squire Vaea, who had previously been rather annoyed by this habit of his, finds herself starting to retell his stories to her own friends. | |

Naruto: After Asuma dies, Shikamaru takes up smoking. Most of Kakashi's bad habits (including his extreme lateness) are actually in memory of his teammate Obito, as shown in the Kakashi Gaiden storyline. |

Berserk: After The Eclipse, Guts adds throwing knives to his arsenal, modeled after Judeau. Justified for more than sentimental reasons; as part of the Band of the Hawk, Guts could afford to specialize in melee combat because he was typically backed up on the battlefield by dedicated archers. Once he set out to become a true One-Man Army, he needed a more varied arsenal. | |

On the Doctor Who Children in Need special "Time Crash", the Tenth Doctor tells the Fifth that he got a number of his stylistic quirks (sneakers, "brainy specs", etc.) from his past self, making this a rare instance of a character invoking this trope with himself. Possibly a reference to the fact that many actors that have played the Doctor have taken inspiration from their predecessors, especially Davison and Patrick Troughton. | |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, much of Shinobu Kocho's seemingly positive demeanor is really her taking on aspects of her deceased older sister Kanae's personality; flashbacks show that Shinobu used to be more serious and impatient than she is now. Shinobu wants to emulate Kanae as much as she can, since Kanae's positivity was always a big inspiration for her. | |

In Fruits Basket, one of Tohru's reasons for constantly using polite speech patterns since she was very young is due to her insecurities of not looking anything like her deceased father, Katsuya, who used similarly overly-polite speech and manners. The other reason is she has some trauma from her mother Kyoko neglecting her and almost committing suicide after Katsuya died, so she adopted Katsuya's speech patterns since she thought it would keep Kyoko from leaving her. | |

In the final book of the Darth Bane trilogy, Bane and his apprentice Zannah fight a duel to the death (as is natural for Sith). Through the rest of the book, Bane had 1. been experiencing some twitching in the fingers of his hand and 2. researched a Dark Side technique for transferring one's consciousness into another's body. He attempts to use the technique during their duel, and after the duel is over the book lets the readers wonder a bit by mentioning that Zannah's fingers are twitching... It's just a tease, though; the trope is averted and Zannah is in full control of her body. | |

Walter White of Breaking Bad does this a lot, adopting subtle quirks of the people who he's killed or have died because of him. For instance, he starts cutting the crusts off his sandwiches like Krazy-8 used to. Others include taking on Gus Fring's method of using his public persona to blow off people he doesn't want to talk to, or ordering his whiskey on the rocks, the way Hank used to. He also somehow adopts quirks that he had no way of knowing about, as he puts a towel down in front of the toilet to kneel on when vomiting the same way Gus did once, when Walter wasn't even remotely in the vicinity to witness it. | |

In the second book of The Saga of Darren Shan, the titular character befriends a human boy called Sam. Sam is shown to have a fondness for pickled onions. Near the end of the book Sam is brutally mauled by the Wolfman, and is fatally wounded. Darren is convinced to drink his blood, partly because he has been refusing to drink human blood throughout the book and is now at a point where he will die in a few hours if he doesn't, partly because Sam is going to die regardless of what anyone does, and partly because he is told that part of Sam's spirit will live on in him. At the very end of the book, Darren finds himself craving some pickled onions. | |
