Like Brother and Sister: Difference between revisions

** Mal and Zoe. They appear to have been [[Platonic Life Partners]] until Zoe married Wash, but since {{spoiler|Zoe unflinchingly chooses Wash over Mal in ''War Stories''}}, it's safe to assume that, much like Xander and Willow above, Mal and Zoe's relationship has been demoted. After {{spoiler|Wash dies in ''[[Serenity]]''}}, it's quite possible that Zoe and Mal's relationship will return to [[Platonic Life Partners]] status.

** Also, Mal and Kaylee, and their actors in real life. Leading to this exchange in the [[Big Damn Movie]] (though it's somewhat jarring, as both of them have seen each other naked):

'''[[Yuri Fanboy|Jayne]]:''' I could stand to hear a little more. }}

* Kurt Hummel and Mercedes Jones in Glee. Although the interest in them being a couple is completely gone by episode 3 when Kurt comes out of the Transparent Closet...they remain the closest (platonic) friendship in the show.

* Though it's never outright stated, the male and female leads in [[Tales of Vesperia]] fall into this. Despite numerous [[Shipper on Deck]] moments from other companions in various skits, they never stray from being like brother and sister.

** The same case can also apply with the main hero and heroine of [[Tales of Graces]]. Despite the traditional romantic feelings harboring between the [[Tales Of]] heroes, this time, the main character's love interest isn't the main heroine (who unfortunately is [[Die for Our Ship|hit hard by some fans]]), so despite the numerous [[Ship Tease]] moments, nothing romantic ever occurs between the two of them. {{spoiler|It doesn't help that the main heroine isn't even human.}} In the Lineage to the Future arc, [[The Hero|Asbel]] explicitly calls [[Mysterious Waif|Sophie]] like a sister (although in a skit, she refers to him like a father-figure as well - [[It Makes Sense in Context]]).

* In the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series, Tails and Amy act like this. Amy's [[Stalker with a Crush]] status can make things a bit tense, however.

 

== Webcomics ==

* Trigger and Layla in ''[[Far Out There]]'' are most emphatically [http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027274/page-28-i-dont-think-thats-very-funny-at-all/ in this sort of relationship].

** Davan and Pee-Jee are an almost as good example, although they didn't know each other nearly as long and Davan had a crush on her prior to the comic's beginning. Davan even refers to her as Mei-Mei (Chinese for "little sister") at one point.

* Creepknight and Bowler certainly seem to reflect this in ''[[Voodoo Walrus]]''. At very least, they [http://voodoowalrus.com/?p=1844 argue like brother and sister].

'''Peanut:''' Yeah, d'uh, of course; you're like my sister. (pause) Which given a little thought could be a very hot concept. }}

* The titular character and Ingrid Third in "Fillmore" are the Safety Patrol's best officers and friends.

* In the ''[[Brandy and Mr. Whiskers]]'' theme song, the eponymous duo are described as "like a dysfunctional brother and sister."
