The first one is simply incorrect and should be fixed. The other
designation element (Fictitious character) should be coded in $c of the
personal name.

Subject: [RDA-L] RDA name authorities |c (Fictitious character)
I'm working through today's name authority changes & wondering why I'm
finding:
‡a Wiggin, Ender (Fictitious character) but
‡a Wiggin, Peter ‡c (Fictitious character)
Is this simply two different agencies interpreting the rules differently?
We don't catalog a lot of fiction here so I've not much experience with
fictitious characters. I do edit our base library records occasionally &
they have a number of Card's titles.
I'd send this to LChelp4rda but I am guessing they are not back at work as
yet.
