[ SLANG ][ IDENTITY ][ NOUN ]
An older or abandoned online persona that keeps resurfacing in someone's feed or mentions long after they've moved on from it, treated as a lingering presence rather than fully gone.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"That old account keeps getting tagged, it's basically her identity shadow at this point."
LORE & ORIGIN
Emerging vocabulary extending 'identity static' with a specific, singular lingering persona rather than general background noise from many at once.
