Unless the mirror image was cast by an animal in some fashion, in which case the Hold Animal person would count and destroy, but hold person would not.The distinction is that the animal could not be targetted as a person which is required for hold person since the caster knew better. Unless they didn't know better, in which case, it would work then too. (Could get somewhat abusive I'm sure, but not any more so than casting a spell and getting some innate knowledge that the target wasn't valid because it didn't match the targets entry)And if we are talking specifically about mirror image figments only, then it boils down to this: If the caster of the figment himself could be the direct target of a spell then so can his figments. If the resultant spell hits the figment, the figment dies out and the originating spell finds that it is unable to act upon that figment. If however, the spell in question wouldn't specifically target the caster, then the figment acts exactly as the caster does in response to the spell and does not spoil the figment.</blockquote>
