The convention in kids movies and TV shows to make the [[Kid Hero|Kid Heroes]] 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
A subtrope of [[Sibling Team]]. They may also be part of a [[Badass Family]].
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 14:
* Tweedledee and Tweedledum in ''[[Kiddy Grade]]''. Also fraternal twins.
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'': Villainous (and then some) example: [[Creepy Twins|Hansel and Gretel]], the "[[Ax Crazy|Vampire Twins]]".
* Another villainous example: Sorath and Tyrael Aizen from ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]''. However, this has nothing to do with preventing shipping, since they're [[Brother
* As of chapter 92 of the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' manga {{spoiler|The Armstrong siblings, Alex Louis and Olivier Mira.}}
* 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 A 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.
Line 27:
** The Tornado Twins in Silver Age [[DCU]].
** [[Canon Immigrant|Canon Immigrants]] 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]]}}.
* [[Marvel Universe]].
** The Invisible Woman and the Human Torch as a subset of the Fantastic Four.
Line 51:
** This fact makes for plenty of amusing moments earlier on, especially when Leia kisses Luke on various occasions (ostensibly to comfort him, or "for luck").
* Simon & River Tam from ''[[Serenity (Film)|Serenity]]''
* [[Cruel Intentions|Kathryn Merteuil and Sebastian Valmont]] are step-siblings - and yes, [[Brother
Line 72:
* Eomer and Eowyn in [[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]].
* ''[[The 39 Clues]]'' has [[Photographic Memory|Dan]] and [[The Smart Guy|Amy]] Cahill. Also, [[Handsome Devil|Ian]] and [[Rich Bitch|Natalie]] Kabra and - sort of - [[The Big Guy|Hamilton, Reagan, and Madison Holt]] and [[Teen Genius|Ned, Ted, and Sinead Starling]].
* Carter and Sadie Kane take on the Egyptian gods in ''[[The Kane Chronicles]]''.
Line 111:
* Taro and Hanako in ''[[Disgaea 2]]''.
* [[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
* 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 (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]''.
