altar ego

The specific deity or religious persona one wishes to identify with for reasons of spiritual growth. So called, because an image of such is often displayed prominently upon one's own personal altar.

Being of a compassionate nature, the young woman felt a great affinity for White Tara and so displayed a beautiful image of her altar ego prominently in her shrine room.

2. the bad side of a person that may come to life at anytime, switching your personality (this is fantasy, though some people may believe they have an alter-ego in which they can't control).
3) A person who you aren't ut you act as sometimes as though you have transformed (e.g Eminem's alter ego is Slim Shady)
