Meaning "double walker" a doppelganger is a shadow-self that accompanies every human. Only the owner of a doppelganger can see it, otherwise it is invisible to human eyes. Dogs and cats have been known to see doppelgangers. Providing sympathetic company, a doppelganger almost always stands behind a person, and they cast no reflection in a mirror. They are prepared to listen and give advice to humans, either implanting ideas in their heads, or a sort of osmosis. It is said to be bad luck if it is seen, and rarely a doppelganger will make itself visible to friends or family, often causing great confusion. Doppelgangers can be mischievous and malicious.

As to Flux and I looking alike, I don't really see it. She's half my size for one. But I think we are both loudly strange, confident in the parts of ourselves that other people hide. I think it's much more a question of conduct than appearence. I think at the time of the comparison, she and I both had red hair.
But thank you. I'm glad to be just Olsen.
