Two Siblings in One

""Hey, Rubedo! Be sure to breathe deep and inhale the particles that composed me!""

- Albedo, Xenosaga II.

This occurs when a character's sibling dies and the character absorbs their soul, or the dead may force their Life Energy on to their sibling. The rule of "two souls cannot control a body at the same time" usually applies and the siblings will switch control over the body. The original owner of the body is usually in charge, but the dead sibling will take control at key moments. Usually accompanied by friends of the 2-souled-twin saying he/she is Not Himself. In most cases when the inhabiting sibling is in control, a distinct feature will let the audience know. This can range from Mind Control Eyes, to a colored aura that appears around the character, in some cases the voice will also change.

 * Invoked by Hansel and Gretel in Black Lagoon. They're siblings, but who's the boy and who's the girl? Good question. They change around at will - and when one of 'em winds up dead, the survivor happily declares that they're still together, even as she changed into a he... (Note that all we see is a change of wig and voice - but it is implied that whatever physiological difference there may have been between them, is no longer visible without an autopsy.)
 * Sakon and Ukon from Naruto.
 * Hanako and The Terror of Allegory: Dead sibling Nozomi takes over Kaede's body as part of a revenge scheme.
 * Psychic Academy had a pair like this, where the sister has her brother's heart. Comes as a surprise, because in the early part of the story it is the brother that is dominant (and The Antagonist).
 * In Basilisk the Big Bad of the group apparently absorbed his twin brother. His brother is still alive, so to speak, as a monstrous symbiote who gives his brother immense regeneration in return for surviving freakishly. This also counts as squick, since said symbiote is only able to speak through his brother's ripped throat.
 * This is the setup with Yayoi and Uzuki in Softenni. It helps that Yayoi comes from a family of spiritualists.

Live Action TV

 * In Heroes, Niki Sanders . It was originally not clear whether this was actually two minds in the same body (though "Jessica" seems to think so) or just regular old Multiple Personality Disorder.

 * The Outer Limits episode "Inner Child" explores this when a woman is attacked, wakes up in the hospital, and finds out that she had a twin that died and was absorbed into her body.
