So - in regards to Agnes and Agatha and visual differences between the two (and how yes they are both portrayed by Kathryn Hahn but I don't mentally view them as her):

Agnes, for instance, is always bigger than Agatha is. She's fuller. She holds more weight. But it's more than that. Agnes is more exuberant, more loud. She's uncomfortable with silences, and she's sometimes needed to be loud to be heard. Agnes comes with a presence that's different than Agatha (like Pinkie Pie vs. Pinkamina Diane Pie, if you get the reference). She's boisterous. She's BIG.

Agatha, on the other hand, is small. She's sneaky, she's conniving, she's manipulative. She's mousy, and she's WILD. Where Agnes's hair is always carefully - perfectly - crafted without a hair out of place (oh, be ye wary if Agnes is starting to look less than), Agatha's is always - not frizzy, but staticky, almost. Not all of it, but strands of it, maybe, never quite in place, always just slightly off. Agatha's shoulders hunch a little sometimes, but Agnes is always perfect posture. Agatha's hands are dirty, her hands are shorn, she has a tendency to roam bare foot, dirt gets stuck under her fingernails - Agnes is clean and put together and wears heels (so she often appears taller than Agatha, even without the perfect posture) and her fingernails are ALWAYS done. Where Agnes is full, Agatha is thinner. Not spindly, not bone thin, just a little more angular, sharper than Agnes is, hollow in a way that Agnes never appears to be (which is such a contrast to Agnes, who always seems so full but has a hollowness from loneliness, who always puts up a facade of perception because she knows that she isn't, where Agatha just does not care about any of that anymore).

They're the same, they're the same, but they're NOT the same.

And I know it makes me sound like I picture Agatha as wild and untamed and dirty, and that's not it - it's more like she's not AFRAID to be dirty, she's not afraid to get her hands in the dirt and mud and let its everything get all over her. She already knows that she is ruined, so what is dirt?

Agnes is still striving for perfection within a cultural standard, and Agatha has learned not only that she will never reach it but also that the world does not and has never wanted her, and so she makes herself smaller and invisible and shoves her hands in her pockets and hunches and hides. Like - their whole mannerisms are different! Idk how to words it.
