People are talking soyjack this, caricature there, but there’s a third alternative: the second character being featureless to not represent anyone in specific.
I should’ve said “mostly” featureless because yes, you’re right - when Father hits the gate, Truth is shaped like him. But Truth shows no hue, no eyes, only the rough shape and the mouth.
