Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A character in a work is split into multiple separate ones.
* '''Straight''':
**In a comic spin-off of the hit cartoon ''Troperia Adventures'', Alice and her alter-ego Ecila are made separate characters.
**Alternatively, Alice who originally possessed multiple traits is simply split into two different ones who inherit different traits.
* '''Exaggerated''':
**Alice has countless forms, all of which were then split into their own separate characters.
**Basically everyone in the previous work is split into different characters in the new adaptation.
* '''Downplayed''': Ecila, although technically now separate from Alice, still has properties that make her very difficult not to correlate with Alice.
* '''Justified''': Ecila acted extremely different from Alice in the cartoon, so she was adapted in the comic as her own character.
* '''Inverted''': [[CompositeCharacter Composite Character]]
* '''Subverted''': The results of Ecila being separated from Alice [[AllJustADream was actually the latter's dream]] and the rest of the work keeps the two as the same.
* '''Double Subverted''': Later on, [[YourMindMakesItReal they become separate for real.]]
* '''Parodied''': Despite Ecila technically being separate from Alice, the former looks and acts nearly the exact same to Alice... save for a comically minor visual change.
* '''Zig Zagged''': The team behind ''Troperia Adventures'' keep switching between Ecila being an alter ego and her being separate from Alice between nearly every adaptation.
* '''Averted''': Alice and Ecila are fully inseparable no matter the circumstances.
* '''Enforced''':
** The team producing ''Troperia Adventures'' felt the cast wasn't expansive enough, so they decided to split characters apart.
** Alternatively, the team felt Alice's personality was way too broad. This was counteracted by splitting her up into different characters, each of which inherit some of the original Alice's traits.
* '''Lampshaded''': Bob notices Ecila and swears to god that Ecila was just Alice's alter ego before.
* '''Invoked''': Charles sets up an experiment targetting Alice, goal being to separate Ecila from her.
* '''Exploited''': Alice eventually finds Ecila, and they reach an agreement to team up to make the task of making Troperia a better place easier.
* '''Defied''': Alice and Ecila make it into the most recent adaptation of ''Troperia Adventures'' as one and the same, in spite of how different the two are.
* '''Discussed''': "There's always that one time where we have to split up a character into multiple different ones."
* '''Conversed''': "There's always that one time where the producers have to split up a character into multiple different ones."
* '''Deconstructed''': Ecila (who is evil in this case) uses her former state as a form of Alice to cause mayhem around Troperia to tarnish the reputation of Alice.
* '''Reconstructed''': Alice manages to prove to everyone she isn't the culprit.
* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': Alice was a very confusing character due to how widespread her character was, but then all of her traits were split up into a new adaptation of her and Ecila, making Alice's character more comprehensible.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice and Ecila find out about each other, which ultimately results in a long-winded argument over who is who.
