Brother-Sister Team: Difference between revisions

[[File:bro-sis_wondersis wonder-twins1_6960twins1 6960.jpg|link=Super FriendsSuperfriends|right]]

The convention in kids movies and TV shows to make the [[Kid Hero|Kid Heroes]]es a brother and sister. This way, both the sexes are represented and they can be very close, while [[Shipping|any thought that they'll end up together]] is, [[Brother -Sister Incest|at least]] [[Rule Thirty Four34|theoretically]], [[No Hugging, No Kissing|killed off immediately]]. These teams can also bicker a lot more than teams of friends usually do, like siblings in real life, and there's no need to worry that they might "[[Cain and Abel|break up]]".

* ''[[Triangle Heart 3 Sweet～sweet Songssongs forever～]]'' has Forever|Kyouya and Miyuki Takamachi]], though they are actually [[Not Blood Siblings|cousins]].

* In ''[[Get BackersGetBackers]]'', 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''.}}

* Ran from ''[[Telepathy Shoujo Ran (Anime)|Telepathy Shoujo Ran]]'' gets a lot of support from her older brother Rin, who is a very capable [[Amateur Sleuth]]. She bickers mostly with fellow telepath Midori though.

* Another villainous example: Sorath and Tyrael Aizen from ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]''. However, this has nothing to do with preventing shipping, since they're [[Brother -Sister Incest|all over each other]]. [[Squick|Ew]]. They would also double as a [[Battle Couple]].

* Another [[Laughably Evil|semi-]]villainous example: Baki (big brother) and Minki (little sister) from ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]''. As soon as her brother is [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|released from his metaphorical can]], Minki recruits him to go on a destructive rampage around the city. He blows up a building, terrifies some housewives when he [[Naked People Are Funny|forgets to materialize pants]] in [[Gag Penis|human form]], and [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|oooh that ice-cream looks yummy]]! Needless to say, Minki is not amused at this turn of events.

* In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]'', Lambdadelta makes Bern accept the rule that if Ange enters the board as Bern's piece, {{spoiler|Battler cannot find out her identity or else Ange dies}} specifically in order to avoid this trope. Ange is forced into a [[Mysterious Protector]] role instead.

** Lightning Lad and Light(ning) Lass in ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' comic canon, depending on the continuity

** [[Canon Immigrant|Canon Immigrants]]s Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins.

** [[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]]}}.

** [[Quicksilver]] and the [[Scarlet Witch]], when they first appeared with the [[X -Men|Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants]], and occasionally since then.

* Tatl and Tael Beryllia in ''[[The Blue Blur of Termina (Fanfic)|The Blue Blur of Termina]]''.

* Simon & River Tam from ''[[Serenity (Film)|Serenity]]''

* [[Cruel Intentions|Kathryn Merteuil and Sebastian Valmont]] are step-siblings - and yes, [[Brother -Sister Incest|that particular loophole is milked for all it's worth]].

* Tony and Tia in [[Alexander Key]]'s ''[[Escape to Witch Mountain]]'' and [[The Film of the Book]].

* [[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Harry Potter]]'s friends, the Weasley family, are an all-family team, but Ginny and her brothers work together regularly.

* Eomer and Eowyn in [[The Lord of the Rings]] are almost this but not quite.

* 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]].

* [[The Brothers Grimm (Creatorcreator)|The Brothers Grimm]] quite liked this trope. In addition to the obvious "[[Hansel and Gretel (Literature)|Hansel and Gretel]]", there's also a [[Fairy Tale]] by them simply called "[[Brother and Sister (Literature)|Brother and Sister]]".

* The [[EarthsEarth's Children]] series has Iza and Creb in the first book--agingbook—aging sister and brother who are allowed to set up a hearth together. She's the clan medicine woman, and he's the clan shaman. Then in the third book, the Mamutoi custom is for the co-leaders to be a brother and sister. If somebody doesn't have a sibling and wants to set up a separate cave, they may adopt one.

* Guy and Isabella of Gisborne in ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]].'' At least in some episodes. The rest of the time, they're trying to kill each other.

* Orestes and Electra of ''[[Electra (Theatre)|Electra]]'' are a brother-sister team, but not the kid-friendly sort. Their principal objective is to kill their mother and step-father.

* Tate and Liza, the Mossdeep City Gym leaders in ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Video Game)|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]''/''Emerald''.

* Taro and Hanako in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]''.

* [[Iji (Video Game)|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 [[Brother -Sister Team]] in [[Mega Man Star Force]] 3 serving Mr. King as members of Dealers.

* The Sage siblings in ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]''.

** The Hearts sibling in ''[[Tales of Hearts (Video Game)|Tales of Hearts]]''.

* Chris and Claire Redfield from the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series (particularly in ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]'').

* Carl and Ada Clover (Nirvana) from [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]], this trope being the general focus of their gameplay and story.

* ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' has not one, but two. The town of Freeside is home to the Garret Twins and the Van Graff siblings.

* ''[[Solatorobo]]'' gives us Red and Chocolat, a [[Happily Adopted]] brother-sister duo. Then Elh arives [[With a Friend Andand Aa Stranger|to make it a trio]].

* ''[[Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney]]'' features titular character Apollo and his assistant/legal aide, Trucy, who are revealed to be half-siblings through their [[Missing Mom]] near the end of the game. The characters themselves remain unaware of this fact.

* Wilykit and Wilykat from ''[[Thundercats (Animation)|Thundercats]]'' and ''[[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|Thundercats 2011]].''

** ''[[Silverhawks (Animation)|Silverhawks]]'' being Thundercats [[Recycled in Space]], and

* ''[[Yin Yang Yo (Animation)!|Yin Yang Yo]]'' has the eponymous twins.

* Villainous example: Ravess and Snipe from ''[[Storm Hawks (Animation)|Storm Hawks]]''

* ''[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]'' and the tweebs in season four just barely fits the team trope. They outfitted the Kim-mobile with all its neat gizmos, and were very displeased when Motor Ed blew their doors off.

* ''[[American Dragon Jake Long (Animation)|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 (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'':

** ''[[Space Ghost]]'''s [[Sidekick|Sidekicks]]s Jan and Jayce.

** from ''[[Super FriendsSuperfriends]]'', Zan and Jayna, despite being the Wonder Twins, also fit this trope.

* [[He-Man and Thethe Masters of The Universe (Animation)|He-Man and The Masters of Thethe 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.

* Bart and Lisa [[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|Simpson]], frequently.

** In one of ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' Treehouse of Horror episodes, Bart and Lisa become crime fighting supersiblings Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl.

* Dot and Enzo Matrix from ''[[Re BootReBoot]].''

* Jackal and Hyena from ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]''.
