What is the difference between persona and facade ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.

a persona is a character someone plays. it's usually obviously fake. these can be malicious, but the word doesn't imply that.

examples in a sentence:

"she has a caring persona online, but it's all a facade! she's really mean in reality." (personality facade)
"she only posts cooking online, but that's just a persona. she hates cooking!"

a facade is lie (or multiple lies) meant to decive someone. these are usually malicious. the difference between a facade and a normal lie is that facades are lies about motive, intent, ability, or personality.

here are examples in conversation:

ability facade: "I dont want to cook because i cant"
"you *can* cook. I see through your facade"

intent facade: "with this law I intend to protect our children!"
"it's a facade, this law only attacks us!"

motive facade: "I'm doing this because I love you"
"no, you're doing this because you want money! stop the facade."
