fictitious person

A fictitious person is a created or imaginary individual often used in stories, examples, or simulations. They do not exist in real life but are invented to illustrate concepts, test ideas, or serve as placeholders. For instance, a teacher might use a fictitious person named "Jane Doe" when explaining a health scenario. Fictitious persons help clarify situations without involving real people, ensuring privacy and focusing on the idea or lesson. They are deliberately crafted to serve specific purposes in fiction, education, or analysis.
