Being described as still a version in the following instances must indicate that in the speaker’s mind you’re still the original version.
Potter fanfic
They just jumped on each other, shagging quicker than two rabbits could, anywhere and in front of anyone. Viola knew this was inappropriate—she was, of course, raised in a very respectful family—and she did not participate in these activities. Of course, that didn’t mean that she was still a version.
