Similar aspects- siblings, I would suppose, but opposites, one dark, the other light.

Maul: To continue, we need one singular vision. My vision.

The Stark sisters are their latest find, two girls so dissimilar that you wouldn’t think they go together. Arya, so fierce she seems more animal than girl, hair scraped back like a boy’s, is all swagger in her tight dungarees and oversize leather jacket. Little, but she’s so quick with a knife that even Asha has a hard time catching her. And Sansa, schoolgirl sweet in her tight dresses and soft sweaters, except she don’t smile.

, A Song of Ice and Fire fanfic"You may already know this, but although Impa looks a looooot older than me, she's actually my little sister. She's incredibly responsible, but at what cost? She's wound waaaay too tight, if ya ask me. Love her though! Heh. People have always noted how we're nothing alike, even though we're sisters. I'm the type that charges ahead once I'm inspired! Impa prefers to wait and see. But mostly wait and wait and wait. In any, case this research facility was founded by order of some Hyrule Castle bigwigs. Despite her frail appearance, Impa was a valued and distinguished advisor to the royals at Hyrule Castle. You... see where I'm going with this, I assume? Basically, she's the one who puts a stop to some of my crazier antics. And that's the story of me and my little sis, Impa."
"You know, I was pretty nervous about meeting Serena. I mean, the last thing we needed was another Veronica. Still, I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong. It turns out Serena is mature, sensible, calm...everything her sister isn't, basically."

The contrast between the sisters struck Ofshe strongly when, the next day, he met Ericka. Julie was such a casual dresser—to the point, really, of being careless—whereas Ericka was heavily made up and wore her hair teased into a dramatic coif. Instead of shrinking from the spotlight, Ericka seemed eager to claim center stage. The sisters scarcely seemed related at all, except as opposites: Julie so shy, Ericka so bold; Julie so plain and naive, Ericka so attractive and shrewd.

Princess Margaret: There's a cruel truth to it, isn't there? When there are two sisters so close in age, the more one becomes one thing, the more the other necessarily becomes the opposite, and vice versa. It's the way of things. If one is the Queen, it must be the source of honor, all that is good, the other necessarily becomes the focus of the most creative malice. Evil sister.
Queen Elizabeth: No-one says you're evil.
Princess Margaret: Next to you, I will always be evil. Feckless. Lost. Lesser thing.
