"who you are" is a reasonable place to begin, but does not have quite enough substance to direct technical work. For example, the difference between a person performing in one role, versus another, might or might not require different identities. It might even require some sort of identity "hierarchy".

I see that people will have many personas, but only one identity. Each persona presents a different facet of themselves.

Slippery slope alert!

This statement seems to mix the every-day meaning of identity with the formal definition that is necessary for technical progress. What is the precise relationship between a persona and an identity? Who gets to know that relationship?
