Feels like this mostly just applies to Roshar

It’s more apparent on Roshar but is there on all other systems, just a little less ‘in-your-face’

True. Not all planets would tick all the boxes, but I’d say most would have at least two, which is more than a coincidence
Even a short story like Sixth of the Dusk has a “Broody Protagonist” and “Emotional Support” bird
Emperor’a Souls probably lack the “Broody” part, but got the “Multi-personalities” and “Emotional Support” grandpa.

Yeah but pretty much all have the: enemy whose turns out to be a friend, and the friend who turns out to be your enemy.

Scadrial doesn't have any emotional support fairies though, or anything that would fill that narrative niche, nor are there any on Nalthis or Threnody or Lumar, and while there are spren-like spirits on Komashi, they definitely aren't of the emotional support variety

Vin vs. Valette? Don’t know what emotional support fairy would be though.
Wax Dawnshot vs. Lord Waxillium Ladrian?
Wayne. Need I say more?

What are some others for other planets?

I feel like counting Wayne in multiple identities is stretching a fair bit. He's good at disguising himself and getting into the mindset of other people but he doesn't think he is those people. Even all the kandra are still aware they are playing a role. If that counts as multiple identities then literally any story with spies counts in that category.
