The Witches 3

Always hungry for experience she copied herself off a number of times. Her copies, feeling similar urges, did so too.

Her copies' personalities and preferences are also much like hers, crowding out her rivals and consigning those who prefer them to marginality and obscure eccentricity.

But being mere copies, the copies do express a continuum of similarity rather than utter authenticity. But somehow this is more frightening that nearly the same sentiments are expressed in the same way by near-identical women in variations of the same clothes (as decided by the copies who have infiltrated the fashion industry): an observer not knowing the origin of the copies might begin to suspect some kind of mass brain-washing.
