She takes after her father? (7)
I believe the answer is:
heiress
'father?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heiress that I've seen before include "one who's succeeded" , "Woman destined to succeed!" , "Woman who's left something" , "Female will beneficiary" , "Portia, say" .)
