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). | A child guise may have *only one parent*, but a parent guise may have *any number of children*.

===When to add new guises and when not to add them=== | |||
# Do '''NOT''' add new characters to serve as guises of existing characters unless you are '''SURE''' that they should be added. Consult a mod before doing anything if you're not sure. | # Do '''NOT''' add new characters to serve as guises of existing characters unless you are '''SURE''' that they should be added.

===Choosing the parent guise=== | |||
# If a guise can be identified as '''clearly''' the most important one, it'll be set as the main one. This '''does not''' include maybes such as "X looks a teeny tiny bit more relevant than Y"; there must be a ''compelling'' difference in plot role. | # If a guise can be identified as '''clearly''' the most important one, it'll be set as the main one.
