unnamed_character

A unnamed character may be...

• A character that appears within a canon piece of media, but has no official name nor a common fan nickname — such as a background character from a cartoon series.
• A character that the artist clearly intends to name (i.e. by referring to them as "that (unnamed) guy").
• A character that will likely not receive a name, but is still clearly identifiable across multiple posts (sometimes a descriptive moniker is best to create in this case). Alternate versions of the only image or animation they appear in don't count towards this.

Not to be confused with...

• anon — A character who is meant to be a featureless, generic stand-in.
  • anthro_anon — As `anon`, except the generic stand-in more resembles a furry/scalie character.
• anonymous_character — A character who's supposed to be unknown.
• nameless_character — A character who's similar to an `unnamed_character` in terms of lacking a real identity, but only shows up for one image or animation (not counting alternate versions).
• unknown_character — A character whose name is not known to the uploader of the post, rather than the character intentionally not having a name.
