Line 156:
** And then there's Alba, who looks exactly like Henry. {{spoiler|Which, this being Niffennegger, is history repeating itself; Alba reminds Clare painfully of Henry after his death.}}
* In [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]'s ''[[John Carter of Mars|The Gods of Mars]]'', John Carter is haunted by the familar look of a fellow prisoner. {{spoiler|Perhaps he should have looked in the mirror more often.}}
{{quote| ''The youth's face had haunted me. Where had I seen him before. There was something strangely familiar in every line of him; in his carriage, his manner of speaking, his gestures. I could have sworn that I knew him, and yet I knew too that I had never seen him before.''}}
* In ''[[Kushiel's Legacy]]'' books, innumerable instances: the entire House Shahrizai has unusually dominant genetics, coined the "unmistakable stamp", House L'Envers has [[Purple Eyes|violet eyes]] that show up with alarming frequency, and the two princesses look like their parents, but with the eye colors swapped.
* In the [[A Great and Terrible Beauty|Gemma Doyle Trilogy]], Gemma has enough of a resemblance to her mother to really freak out multiple characters.
Line 202:
** Not a physical similarity, but Eoleo seems to share his [[Playing with Fire|elemental affinity]], snarky attitude, [[Strange Minds Think Alike|strange mental tangents]], and [[Intergenerational Friendship|tendency to hang out]] with [[Kid Hero|Kid Heroes]] with his great-grandma Obaba.
* In ''[[Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack In Time]]'', Alister Azimuth instantly recognizes Ratchet as his late friend's son by the fact that [[media:kadenratchetcomparison_5190.jpg|he looks almost like his teenage clone]]. Afterwards, Azimuth continues to dwell almost obsessively on the similarities, to the point that he occasionally seems to assume they're the same Lombax -- or gets irritated by the fact that they're ''not''.
{{quote| '''Azimuth:''' Ask yourself this: how relevant is the past when it can be ''changed?'' Your father would have said, "Not very."<br />
'''Ratchet:''' That's ''him''. }}
* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', Samara and her daughter, {{spoiler|Morinth}}, are [[Identical Grandson|completely identical in appearance.]] This is to {{spoiler|Morinth}}'s advantage if {{spoiler|you decide to recruit her}}; she is able to perfectly impersonate her mother, with only Kasumi (and, of course, Shepard) ever finding out the truth.
