identity

The distinct and recognizable nature of an individual, which results from a unique combination of characteristics and qualities. In philosophy, identity is the sameness of a person, which may continue in spite of changes in bodily appearance, personality, intellectual abilities, memory, and so on. In psychology, identity refers to one's conception of oneself and sense of continuous being, particularly as an individual distinguishable from, but interacting, with others.
