characters from a fantasy setting

Do you guys ever wonder how they recognise characters in their books, games, etc when they get transported in?

I mean, if a game uses pixel art, how on earth would you recognise the real world counter part when they look like ordinary humans? Maybe the colour scheme but, like is the character always wearing the same clothes as well.

And then for books, what if what you imagine isn't what they actually look like. And, most of the time when I read, I'm not even imagining the characters appearance, I just recognise the name.

Anyway, some food for thought, maybe I just suck at imagination and recognising faces.
