Explanation

In customer persona modeling, a persona is an archetypal, stereotyped representation of a user type - a fictional composite character based on research into real users. Personas represent who the users are (their goals, behaviors, and characteristics), not what the system must do. Requirements describe system functionality and are a separate artifact derived from understanding users. Personas inform requirements but do not themselves represent requirements.
