a character that reflects the personality of the author
One of the meanings of "specchio" is "ciò che imita o riproduce una determinata realtà: un romanzo che è lo specchio della società contemporanea | ciò che è indizio dei gusti, dei sentimenti del carattere e sim. di una persona: gli occhi sono lo specchio dell'anima."

I am adding an example of the usage of the phrase "reflects the personality of the author":
"I have read this book, and I think I can say that it reflects the personality of the author."
