I used to believe that your reflections were YOU in the mirror world, and at age 17 they could choose to be your reflection or go off and do something else. This also let to the assumption that vampires were people who mistreated their reflections, so the reflections deserted them and made them vampires. Then I thought Dracula was the meanest vampire of them all, since he scared his reflection away and became the most widely-known vampire.
