Actually, empathy is the ability to feel the same emotion because you've experienced it before. Sympathy is being able to recognise an emotion and express it even if you haven't experienced it specifically yourself. So technically if you are empathising with someone then you are identifying with them at least a little. That doesn't mean you have to consider yourself identifying with the whole character, just aspects.

We had a whole sustainability class on the difference between sympathy and empathy XP

Huh. Different classes, different definitions. In my classes we discussed specifically how you need not experience the emotion to identify it, and thus empathize with it. I think it's one of those subjective topics that can have varieties of understanding - like every humanities topic ever. Which I guess the same can be said for how one defines "identifying with" a character.

Not really. You can empathize with a person with no experience on the emotion. Like for example, someone loses a child to sickness (I'm going to the assumption that you haven't lost a child before, excuse me if you have), you can empathize with that person without actually having to experience it. All you know that they are in pain and the worst loss a human can experience.

Empathy is a very broad emotional capacity. You don't feel to experience a certain emotion or situation to be empathetic to someone although you could.
