That's just a question of familiarity though... the whole point is  
that you should get to know your personas as well as you know your  
friends.  Of course, that's why it really helps to include photos...  
some companies even encourage you to pin the persona photos on your  
cubicle wall so they're always in your thoughts when you're writing  
or designing stuff :)

Cheeri,
