virtual avatar
Online graphic identity
A virtual avatar is a digital representation of a person in online environments—video games, social media, virtual reality, or the metaverse.
Users customize their avatar's appearance, often idealizing or experimenting with identity: My virtual avatar looks nothing like me in real life.
The term is somewhat redundant, since avatars are inherently virtual, but emphasizes the digital context.
