The chaotic/unusual nature of their situation actually caused the realness of their relationship to amplify and grow while they developed as characters throughout the story. Their relationship was dynamic and changing, sometimes strained, frequently competitive, with neither character being purely one-dimensional (they both can be impulsive, or calculating, for example, but they often, but certainly don't always, balance each other).<br />The development of one sibling's character directly influenced how the other developed, and vice versa, and I think it's reasonable to say that's pretty realistic. :)Feanor-the-Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943370047568728889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-64797420531945733542017-03-06T20:43:51.642-06:002017-03-06T20:43:51.642-06:00Not "literary," but my favorite fictiona...Not "literary," but my favorite fictional siblings are Tina, Gene, and Louise Belcher from "Bob's Burgers." Though they fight sometimes, they're always there for each other. The three of them get into loads of mischief together and help each other with ridiculous plans that are so emblematic of childhood. They make me laugh, too, which is a big plus. :)Katy Bughttp://www.wildblueyoshi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-8944756550029775732017-02-27T09:53:21.853-06:002017-02-27T09:53:21.853-06:00P.S.

They were inspired by the Marches, and are pretty similar. I'm an only child XD so I don't know if my view of sibling dynamics is right or not. Oh well. :P<br /><br />I especially love it in the third book, when Skye has to take care of her younger siblings. (Skye, by the way, is a tomboy who also loves mathematics and physics and whatnot, but cannot for the life of her remember which vitamins to give to her little sister.

It's been a while since I read LotR, so I don't remember exactly what the dynamic was in the book, but I really enjoyed the little glimpses in the movies of the brothers caring for each other.<br /><br />I'm writing a sibling pair for my WIP, Raiders' Rise - a brother and sister. They spend most of the book away from each other, though, so it's an extra challenge to set up their dynamic over distance.Rachelle O'Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884513979937452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-48350593464358732462017-02-22T10:07:35.570-06:002017-02-22T10:07:35.570-06:00I loved that book!

One of my favorite sibling relationships is in Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli. Being a twin, I can relate a lot to their relationship, as they are twins also. It is also a realistic relationship. They both have their share of ups and downs, which makes their relationship all the more enjoyable.GJEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-40670025019291180382017-02-22T06:54:48.784-06:002017-02-22T06:54:48.784-06:00My favorite sibling example in any book I've r...My favorite sibling example in any book I've read is Parvin and her twin brother Reid in Nadine Brandes' A Time to Die.
