Character guises are a way to link multiple "versions" of a character. They're asymmetrical, hierarchical, parent-child relations; one side is generally known as "parent" guise (also "main" guise) and the other is generally known as "child" guise or simply "guise". To set a character as the ''child'' guise, edit it and set the ''parent'' guise in the "Guise of" field. The parent guise will automatically be considered as the main guise once that change is approved. That is the only way to set guises; it is not possible to do it the other way around. | Character guises are a way to link multiple "versions" of a character.

A child guise may have | A child guise may have ''only one parent'', but a parent guise may have ''any number of children''. A child guise may also have its own children, recursively; having a parent does not interfere with being set as parent for a third character. An example of that is the guise chain of [https://anidb.net/ch1913 Illyasviel von Einzbern]. Among its guises, Illyasviel has a counterpart in the [https://anidb.net/a9042 Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya] universe; that counterpart has, among its guises, a magical girl version, and that magical girl version has several guises of its own: from top parent to bottom, that's a chain of, so far, four positions in total (original Illyasviel -> FKL Illyasviel -> Prisma Illya -> multiple guises). | ||
