{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Triangle Heart 3 ～sweet songs forever～
* ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'': Taichi/Tai and Hikari/Kari
* In ''[[GetBackers]]'', Juubei and Sakura Kakei are a borderline case: they're always on the same side (even when their "most important persons" aren't), but they're rarely seen actually ''working'' together. Himiko and [[Posthumous Character|Yamato]] are like this in flashbacks, but later revelations reveal that this is actually a more appropriate (and manga-only) description of {{spoiler|Himiko and ''Ban''.}}
Line 26:
** Lightning Lad and Light(ning) Lass in ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (comics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' comic canon, depending on the continuity
** The Tornado Twins in Silver Age [[DCU]].
** [[Canon Immigrant
** [[Booster Gold]] and his sister Goldstar. {{spoiler|More of a [[Badass Family]] since it was revealed that Rip Hunter is Booster's son a la [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]}}.
* [[Marvel Universe]].
Line 55:
== [[Literature]] ==
* Tony and Tia in [[Alexander Key]]'s ''[[Escape to Witch Mountain]]'' and [[The Film of the Book]].
* [[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'s friends, the Weasley family, are an all-family team, but Ginny and her brothers work together regularly.
* Princess Andromeda and Sir George (actually Georgina) in ''One Good Knight'' from [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms. Andie proposes that they become blood-siblings to invoke this trope, since otherwise The Tradition (the ambient magic in the land) would do everything it could to make her fall in love with the knight who rescued her.
Line 70:
* Alec and Isabelle Lightwood in the ''[[Mortal Instruments]]''. Also, there's Jace Wayland, who's technically their foster brother, but that tends to be over looked.
* Maya and Joey from the [[Maradonia Saga]].
* Eomer and Eowyn in [[The Lord of the Rings]] are almost this but not quite.
* Maura and Patrick O'Connell in [[Beyond the Western Sea]]
* Dagny and James Taggart, sibling executives of a large railroad company in ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]''. Subverted in that all of James' plans tend to either harm the company, or aid it by [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|using legalization to crush their competitors]], Dagny is the competent and underappreciated one who really keeps the company going and bail it out of James' mistakes. James [[Jerkass|does not appreciate this]].
Line 76:
* Carter and Sadie Kane take on the Egyptian gods in ''[[The Kane Chronicles]]''.
* [[The Brothers Grimm (creator)|The Brothers Grimm]] quite liked this trope. In addition to the obvious "[[Hansel and Gretel]]", there's also a [[Fairy Tale]] by them simply called "[[Brother and Sister]]".
* The [[Earth's Children]] series has Iza and Creb in the first
Line 111:
* Taro and Hanako in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]''.
* [[Iji]] takes point against the alien attackers, while her brother Dan acts as [[Mission Control]]. One of the subplots is about how Iji's [[The Power of Love|love]] for her brother [[Determinator|keeps her going]] despite Dan's assertions of emotional detachment.
* There is a
* There's a lot of Brother Sister Teams in the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series, most in ''Geneology of the Holy War''. There's also {{spoiler|Raven and Priscilla}} in ''Blazing Sword'', Eirika and Ephraim in ''Sacred Stones'', and Ike and Mist in ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn''.
* The Sage siblings in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''.
** The Hearts sibling in ''[[Tales of Hearts]]''.
* Chris and Claire Redfield from the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series (particularly in ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]'').
* Carl and Ada Clover (Nirvana) from [[
* ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' has not one, but two. The town of Freeside is home to the Garret Twins and the Van Graff siblings.
* Possible in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', depending on Hawke's gender and which sibling survives the prologue (which is determined by Hawke's class).
Line 159:
* Danny and Jazz (kind of) in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', particularly in "Secret Weapons".
* ''[[Grossology]]''
* ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' almost subverts this trope. Jake and Haley have been known to work as a team, but it's usually reluctantly as they're most frequently at each other's throats.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'':
** Sokka and Katara
Line 165:
* [[Hanna-Barbera]]'s contributions feature:
** Nancy and Chuck from ''[[Shazzan]]''.
** ''[[Space Ghost]]'''s [[Sidekick
** from ''[[Superfriends]]'', Zan and Jayna, despite being the Wonder Twins, also fit this trope.
* [[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]] and [[She-Ra]], from their respective cartoons, are fraternal twins. Though they live on separate planets and usually operate independently, they fit this trope on the occasions when they work together, such as in the She-Ra pilot and the Christmas special.
Line 173:
** The cartoon series has them as stepsiblings. And there's still a vibe.
* [[Canon Immigrant]] [[Expy]] twins Downpour and Shifter, of the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' series.
* Dot and Enzo Matrix from ''[[
* Jackal and Hyena from ''[[Gargoyles]]''.
* ZZ and Blitzy from ''[[The BOTS Master]]''.
Line 180:
* Elastika and Kewl Breeze in ''[[Zevo-3]]''.
* [[Doug]] and Judy became this on occasion, such as the episode ''Doug's Babysitter''.
