I REALLY love characters who are just lying all the time, apparently, but like... my particular favorite niche in the wide world of characters who have constructed an elaborate facade is, like...

Any time a character pretends to be vain/shallow/silly/materialistic and underneath that lurks someone brilliant/self-sacrificing/generous... The Scarlet Pimpernel is where that preference comes from but you see it in low and high stakes settings, with different degrees of pretense. In male characters it tends to be part of a costumed hero's secret identity schtick-- Batman and (comics) Iron Man having their silly playboy personas-- and in female characters it tends to be sort of a go-along-to-get-along silliness or level of affectation in someone who has both a genuine interest in fashion AND serious depths and brains/kindness-- Elle Woods, Rarity from MLP: FiM-- but there are exceptions on both sides. Like... Elliot from the Magicians is genuine in his interest in fashion and his facade isn't part of a double identity, but he uses the image-obsessed party boy persona to cover up a lot of feelings, and Harley Quinn is a clown supervillain but also someone who earned a doctorate.

I am also a fan of characters who have constructed an elaborate persona not to fool others, but to fool themselves.

And, always, mad scientists.
