the word "like" and "doppleganger"

[alphaprincess]

Hi guys, I'm wondering if the word "like" can be used as a noun to describe someone who has a lot in common with you.

e.g.: Rosel is quite my like./ Rosel is a like of me.

I remember from an article there is a sentence which reads: Hard as he tries, he still can't find even its like.

Also, does the word doppleganger(I'm aware of its German origin) necessarily own a negative color when used? I know in some certain context it usually refers to an EVIL twin of a person. So I guess it's not entirely same as the word: soul-mate or spitting image?

Thanks in advance for your kind replies.

Sarah,
lost in confusion.
