mini-me
Pint-sized carbon copy
A mini-me is a smaller version or copy of someone, especially a child who strongly resembles a parent or a younger person who imitates an older mentor: Her daughter is a total mini-me.
The term comes from the 1999 film *Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me*, where it named a clone.
It often carries affectionate or humorous connotations.
