A Sister Trope of Original Character, and the fanfic equivalent of Ascended Extra. An OC Stand-in is a canon Flat Character that gets little screentime or few (if any) lines, and therefore can be molded into whoever the fan wants. Often, they may not even have canonical names. Alternately, a name might be the only significant trait they have in canon. Thus, an OC Stand-in is like an OC, but the fact that these characters usually have some preset characteristics already means the author has some general direction to go in.
