* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' downplays this with Bluey and her younger sister Bingo; while they're both [[CheerfulChild cheerful and exuberant young puppies]] who share a lot of the same interests, Bluey tends to be more vocal and outgoing, while Bingo tends to be more sensitive and has more trouble speaking up when she feels upset. "Mini Bluey" highlights a few more differences between them, namely that Bluey is messier and doesn't like to help out with chores while Bingo is tidier and doesn't mind helping her parents when they ask her.

Examples of SiblingYinYang in Western Animation.

%%%


%%* Steve and Hailey in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''.
* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** Katara and Sokka. The latter is sarcastic, cynical and TheSmartGuy, while the former is the open, idealistic TeamMom.
** The HotBlooded [[AntiVillain Zuko]] and the cool, manipulative [[MagnificentBastard Azula]] are as different as [[RedOniBlueOni red and blue]]. While Zuko learned the basics of [[PlayingWithFire firebending]], like breathing techniques, Azula is a ChildProdigy who focused on the more glamorous aspects, like blue fire and [[ShockAndAwe lightningbending]]. Zuko ultimately learns to [[PowerOfFriendship value his friends]], while Azula tried to control them with fear, [[spoiler:which ultimately gets her betrayed]].
** The series also contrasts [[CoolOldGuy Iroh]], who [[CoolUncle raised his nephew Zuko like a son]], and [[EvilOverlord Ozai]], who [[AbusiveParents mistreated and banished him]].
** Mako and Bolin grew up on the streets, but while Mako is a broody, dark, TroubledButCute firebender devoted to winning the probending league and protecting his little brother, Bolin's a boisterous, fun-loving, earthbending ladies' man.
** Tenzin's daughters Ikki and Jinora. Jinora is a [[CuteBookworm well-read]] ShrinkingViolet and the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl]] to Ikki's [[MotorMouth garrulous]], [[GenkiGirl high octane]] {{Tomboy}} personality.
** Tenzin has this relationship with his older siblings, Kya II and Bumi II. When they were children, Tenzin was very serious, while his siblings were rather rambunctious. In the present, Tenzin is [[TheStoic serious]] ([[NotSoStoic usually]]), bald, burdened with a large responsibility, and monk-like while Bumi is "a wild man" in the armed forces of the United Republic with a head full of AnimeHair; meanwhile, Kya is unmarried and traveled all over the world to [[LeavingYouToFindMyself "find herself"]] (which Tenzin saw as abandoning her family), while Tenzin settled down and had a large family. Tenzin and Kya are also elemental benders with deep spiritual ties, while Bumi is a BadAssNormal[[note]]until Harmonic Convergence, when [[spoiler:he acquired airbending]][[/note]] military man/walking disaster area.
** Between Korra's father Tonraq and her uncle Unalaq. The younger brother, Unalaq, is ambitious, focused on spiritual concerns, and feels driven to lead his people, while the older brother, Tonraq, is unambitious, focused on physical strength, and decidedly non-spiritual. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed that Unalaq is a madman and got Tonraq kicked out of his tribe.]]
** Lin and Suyin Beifong. Lin highly values law and order, never wanted children and is generally very cold, serious and bitter. Suyin, on the other hand, was a teenage rebel, and ''still'' does not like authority too much, but highly values family, having five children of her own, and appears to be rather warm and open toward other people.
** Desna is the OnlySaneMan as he becomes concerned about his father's EvilPlan, while his twin sister Eska is the more abusive psycho towards Bolin.
** Suyin's children: Huan is the EmoTeen, Wei and Wing are BashBrothers, Opal is sweet and honest, and Bataar Jr. is, well, TheDragon to his fiance [[BigBad Kuvira]], let alone being a jerk towards his mother, who considers him as a BlackSheep of the family.
** [[BigBad Noatak]]/[[spoiler:[[MagnificentBastard Amon]] wants to take over Republic City [[WellIntentionedExtremist out of a genuine desire]] [[MugglePower to bring equality between benders and non-benders]].]] His brother Tarrlok is purely interested in gaining political power for himself. Their approach is also markedly different; Tarrlok is a politician using the crisis to more or less legally consolidate power, while [[spoiler: Amon]] is a terrorist advocating the violent overthrow of the government
* Finn and Jake from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. Finn is an optimistic and off-the-walls energetic BadassNormal, and his adopted brother Jake (who’s also a dog) is a [[BrilliantButLazy super-powerful but lazy]] couch potato with a more realistic view of life who tags along on adventures mostly to make Finn happy
%%* Ben and Gwen on ''WesternAnimation/Ben10''. Cousins, but close enough.
* The Belcher kids on ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers''. The eldest daughter Tina is anxious, soft-spoken, and self-effacing, although boy-crazy. The youngest daughter is a snarky LargeHam and proud schemer. Between them is the lone son Gene, a scatterbrained CheerfulChild.
* Huey and Riley in ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks''. Riley is more foolish and impressionable, tends ot act rashly and desperatly wants to be a "gangster", while Huey is responsible, levelheaded, and deeply contemplative.
%%* Carl and Chloe in ''WesternAnimation/CarlSquared''.
* The Interesting Twins From Beneath The Mountain in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''; "Sister" is domineering and driven by emotion, while "Brother" is more reserved and rational. To drive the point home, the birthmarks on their faces are literally the two halves of Yin and Yang.
* Danny and Jazz in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. Danny is insecure, rash and powerful, while Jazz is book-smart, confident and collected.
* Daria and Quinn in ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}''. Daria is a snarky, cynical, intellectual girl, Quinn is a shallow, vain LovableAlphaBitch.
* Dexter is a ChildProdigy and Dee Dee is TheDitz in ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', although Dee Dee has been portrayed as actually being smarter, or at least more experienced, on occasion.
%%* Doug and Judy from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''.
* Zack and Wheezie of ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'' are the SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl type. Not only that, but they are also two halves of a two-headed dragon.
* The brothers [[EdibleThemeNaming Dijon and Poupon]] in ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''. Dijon is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain with StickyFingers, whereas Poupon is a virtuous monk and a member of the order that guards the [[ArtifactOfDoom Golden Goose]].
* Sarah, a TinyTyrannicalGirl with a HairTriggerTemper, and Ed, a GentleGiant {{Ditz}}, in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''.
* Vicky, a complete sadist, and Tootie, a sweet if somewhat clingy girl, in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. While Vicky likes tormenting the main protagonist Timmy Turner, Tootie loves Timmy Turner with a passion.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** Chris is a FatIdiot like his father, while Stewie is a BrainyBaby and EvilGenius. Meg has this with both of them, to some extent.
** Lois and her younger sister Carol. Lois comes off as an assertive {{Jerkass}} in an unhappy marriage with a FatIdiot, while her younger sister Carol is a meek, NiceGirl who has problems keeping a man.
* PJ and Pistol on ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop''. PJ is [[OnlySaneMan rational]], [[NiceGuy conciliatory]], [[ShrinkingViolet timid]], and [[TheEeyore somewhat melancholy]] due to being [[AbusiveParents emotionally abused]]. Pistol, on the other hand, is [[GenkiGirl hyperactive]], {{bratty|HalfPint}}, [[MotorMouth talkative]], and [[CheerfulChild very cheerful]]... which may be because she's {{spoiled|Brat}}. Strangely, episodes that play them as {{Satellite Character}}s to one of their parents show them agreeing surprisingly often.
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
** The Pines Twins: Dipper is TheSmartGuy with a [[DeadpanSnarker slight cynical side]], while Mabel is [[GenkiGirl energetic]] and a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
** [[spoiler: The elder set of Pines twins, Stanford and Stanley, contrast ''even more''. Stanley was a lazy joker who had dreams of going on adventures and finding his fortune, while Stanford was a serious student who wanted to go to a good college and explore the supernatural ForScience. As they grew older, Stanley became a ConMan who shunned anything supernatural, while Stanford's explorations nearly made him GoMadFromTheRevelation but never stopped him from continuing his research, much to Stanley's annoyance and ultimately the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt world's detriment]].]]
* Helga and Olga Pataki on ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold''. Neither one of them turned out too well due to their parents, but Helga is an angry {{Tsundere}} who bullies others, often unconsciously, but Olga is a perfectionist StepfordSmiler NervousWreck.
%%* Yin and Yang from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' episode "Return to China".
* Ang and Ling in ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheDragon''. Ang is an easy-going, self-effacing hero, and Ling is an intense, ambitious AntiVillain (later AntiHero). She even gets her powers from "the darkest Yin".
* Girly-girl/Beauty queen Lola and tomboy/dirt-loving Lana are twin sisters on ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''.
** In contrast to the Loud parents, Mrs. Maria Santiago has only two children: Bobby and Ronnie Anne. These two couldn't be more different, and not just in terms of gender. Ronnie Anne is a tomboyish LovingBully to Lincoln, while Bobby is an all-loving NiceGuy who is InTouchWithHisFeminineSide and treats Lori with respect. Ronnie is also smart and can be a cunning schemer when she wants to be, while Bobby is very much a KindheartedSimpleton.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'':
** Twin siblings Luka and Juleka. Juleka is quiet and shy, Luka is laid back and sociable.
** Chloé and her half-sister Zoé: Chloé is the AlphaBitch, Zoé is actually nice.
* ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'': Andy and Kevin French. The former is a StreetSmart slacker who is quite savvy and able to be [[BrilliantButLazy quite brilliant on the fly]] when the scenario calls for it, all the while being a sarcastic snarker and complete womanizer. The latter is an [[DitzyGenius absolute genius]] at academics but so socially inept and sheltered he can hardly fend for himself outside of the classroom, and an overly enthusiastic mommy's boy. Andy is openly an EthicalSlut but completely willing to leave a woman hanging [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold just to look out for his brother]], while the latter claims to be against anything even remotely sexual but is secretly enthralled by pornography.
* ''WesternAnimation/MuchaLucha'': The Flea and Pulgita, the latter being the sane man to the former.
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
*** Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Celestia, who controls the day, is gentle, motherly, and a bit mischievous, while Luna, who controls the night, is stern, overly formal, and a bit bad-tempered (as seen in "Luna Eclipsed"). That may be a side effect of being [[FishOutOfTemporalWater sealed in the moon for a thousand years]], though. (It's eventually revealed that part of Luna's behavior is due to the guilt she feels over her time as Nightmare Moon.)
*** Pinkie Pie and her sister Maud. Pinkie's a brightly-colored FunPersonified ball of AttentionDeficitOohShiny energy. Maud's a grey-colored, rock-obsessed EmotionlessGirl.
*** As seen in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E21Hearthbreakers Hearthbreakers]]", this goes for Pinkie's other sisters as well. Pinkie is friendly, welcoming, and fun-loving, while Limestone is gruff, bad-tempered, and serious. Pinkie is talkative and outgoing, while [[PolarOppositeTwins her twin sister Marble]] is quiet and bashful.
** ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration5'': The pegasus siblings Pipp Petals and Zipp Storm share a TomboyAndGirlyGirl dynamic, with Zipp being a RebelliousPrincess and dissatisfied with the ruses the royal family puts up and Pipp being a popular IdolSinger who's entirely satisfied with their current lifestyle.
* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'': [[AloofBigBrother Wirt]] is a [[SociallyAwkwardHero shy]] OnlySaneMan who occasional lapses into melodrama and [[DespairEventHorizon despair]], while his younger half-brother [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Greg]] is a [[CloudCuckooLander kooky]] CheerfulChild who [[{{Determinator}} refuses to ever give up]].
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** Phineas and Ferb, though they share the love of inventions, tend to contrast each other in some ways, though their differences seem more complementary than opposed; Phineas is the more talkative ideas guy while Ferb is TheQuietOne who builds all the inventions Phineas thinks up. For that matter, either/both of them contrast their older sister Candace, a shrill NervousWreck who wants nothing more than a quiet, unexciting summer, and will go out of her way to try and get the duo caught by their parents.
** There's also Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and his brother, Roger. Heinz is a bumbling, incompetent MadScientist and TheUnfavorite of his mother, while Roger is TheAce, mayor of Danville, and favored by his parents to comedically exaggerated levels.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' have Buttercup, a tough angry {{tomboy}}, and Bubbles, a gentle GirlyGirl, who almost never gets mad. Blossom is somewhere between them personality-wise, but she also is the most intelligent one.
* ''WesternAnimation/PuppyInMyPocketAdventuresInPocketville'': Ava is older,[[note]]presumably, as she's the monarch and lines of succession traditionally go to whoever's the eldest child of the monarch.[[/note]] girly, and [[TheHighQueen kind to her subjects]] and is very naive. Her twin Eva is younger, tomboyish, and incredibly brave, [[{{Jerkass}} but absolutely cruel towards everyone]], including her own lackeys and especially her sister.
* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': : Celery contrasts with her brother, Zucchini. Celery is a very good driver and is also quite smart, having a job as a travel writer. Zucchini, on the other hand, has a job as a garbageman and is quite dumb from time to time.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Reboot}}'': Megabyte and Hexadecimal are two virus siblings. Megabyte is egomaniacal, sophisticated, well-mannered, calm and collected, and desires to have Mainframe placed under his orderly rule. Hexadecimal is sporatic, prone to wild mood swings, and loves chaos for the sake of chaos.
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Riley and Todd from ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements''.
* Bart, a lazy delinquent, and Lisa, a socially-aware academic, in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Incidentally, their parents contrast each other similarly.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Stan is (usually) very mild-mannered and easygoing, whereas his sister Shelly is extremely hot-headed and borderline unstable.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'':
** The Daughter and the Son are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin literal]] examples of this trope, as they are representing the Light and TheDarkSide of the Force respectively.
** It is revealed as of "Lawless" that [[spoiler:[[ActualPacifist Satine]] and [[ProudWarriorRaceGirl Bo-Katan]]]] are this in the more general sense. Despite their differences, however, the latter was very much broken up [[spoiler:when the former was killed]].
** Savage Oppress and [[spoiler:Darth Maul]] are this as well. While they are both powerful and clever Sith warriors, the former, while far from stupid, is not much of a thinker, bluntly straightforward, honorable despite his darker nature, and content with staying in his brother's shadow. In contrast, [[spoiler:Maul]], while very much a fighter, is much more cunning, charismatic, manipulative, cruel, and ambitious. [[spoiler:Despite the potential for a betrayal on Maul's part, both brothers genuinely do care for one another, and Maul's reaction to Savage's death by Sidious's hand is both grief and anger.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'': Among the two Cyclonian siblings, Ravess is a cultured perfectionist and Snipe is a gluttonous slob. Repton and Lugey could count too: Repton is a cunning, brutal and vicious ringleader whilst Lugey is a dim-witted, oafish and AffablyEvil subordinate.
* In ''WesternAnimation/StreetFighter'', Akuma and his brother Gouken (Ryu and Ken's martial arts master). Gouken was happy that he and Akuma were chosen by their master to be training partners, as they were the first set of siblings in their school's history to be paired up like this. Akuma was less than thrilled since this only emphasized how different they were. Their master paired them up specifically because they were almost polar opposites since their school's philosophy stated that this was the best way to encourage growth. Gouken was as peaceful as Akuma was vicious. This is true to [[Franchise/StreetFighter the source material]]: Gouken purged their school's martial art of its murderous aspects, while Akuma embraced and refined them.
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* This is played up with Mario and Luigi even more in ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' cartoons. In the [=SMB3=] [[TheBrute Bully]] and either [[MadScientist Kooky]] or [[MotorMouth Big Mouth]] seem to fit the trope.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
** Starfire and Blackfire. Starfire is nice and sweet. Blackfire is cruel and sinister.
** The [[GentleGiant thoughtful, pacifistic, somewhat clingy Thunder]] and [[PsychoElectro hotheaded, independent, pyro/electromaniacal Lightning]].
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Mas y Menos even though in their case they're on the same side.
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Several sibling pairs in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan'': Stanley and Henry, Suzie and Anne, Anne and Tom.
* Hank and Dean, the eponymous ''[[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Venture Brothers]]'', have [[CharacterDevelopment grown to become this]] in later seasons. Dean is a nerdy, frail, non-confrontational NonActionGuy who is being groomed for a career as a super scientist, while Hank is an underachiever and wannabe ActionHero.
* ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'':
** Carl and Herman, with Carl's magic and strategy being contrasted by Herman's muscle and brute force. "Dojo Alone" showed that, if they ever worked together, they'd be unstoppable, but they can't stand each other.
** Yin and Yang coping with each others' differences is quite a major part of the series. While Yin is studious, feminine, and a magic user, Yang is rather idiotic, rough, and prefers to use might over magic.
* Evangelyne and Cleophee in ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}''. Eva fits the ArcherArchetype, while Cleo is more reckless and prefers hand-to-hand combat.
* The royal siblings of Meridian in ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}''. [[PintSizedPowerhouse Elyon]] is sweet, lighthearted, cheerful, and loving, and genuinely wants to help her people, while [[BigBad Phobos]] is cruel, cold, and evil, draining power from Meridian and imprisoning anyone who disagrees with him.
