Examples

1. The celebrity's public persona was sweet and kind, but her staff knew that she could be demanding and difficult to work with - she had a honey tongue, but a heart of gall, as the saying goes.

2. She had always admired the celebrity from afar, but after meeting them in person, she realized that admiration is the daughter of ignorance - she had not known the person behind the public persona.

3. ¿ Cómo son estas personas?

4. So the word persona has two meanings in Latin.
