Oh, no, your sister just died! But you don't have the Applied Phlebotinum to make a Replacement Goldfish to remember her by. Still, you look kind of like her, right? So she'll live on through you! The motives for this can vary a great deal. Sometimes there's a tangible need for this level of deception — the dead sibling may have been the linchpin in high-level government negotiations, and the surviving sibling is the only one who can plausibly play the role. It can also be a slightly misguided attempt to live your sister's dream's for her, since she didn't get the chance. This trope can also be exactly as disturbing as it sounds, and we end up with one Ax-Crazy sibling convinced he really ''is'' her. May or may not involve a Wholesome Crossdresser, depending on the gender of the person being replaced and the person doing the replacing. May or not be related, possibly just good friends. Related to Kill and Replace. A subtrope of Dead Person Impersonation. A somewhat limited form of Batman Gambit. May include Settle for Sibling. For the literal version see Two Siblings In One. |

The manga Yubisaki Milk Tea does this. The original reason the male main character crossdresses was to pretend to be his big sister in photo shoots, though the sister is still alive, just on a date. | |

This is central to the plot of the manga Basara. Tatara, believed to be the Chosen One and expected to lead a revolution against the corrupt monarchy, is killed before he does anything worth mentioning. His conveniently Half Identical Twin, Sarasa, takes his place and actually leads that revolution. She ends up using "Tatara" as her public persona and "Sarasa" as her Secret Identity. | |

A variant is invoked in Black Jack. When the son of the head of a major corporation is killed in a fire, the father forces his last living child to pose as said son (if his son, and only his son, doesn't inherit the company, it will be absorbed by a rival company). The trouble is, said last living child is a girl (albeit one who looks uncannily like the dead son), and the poor girl is pressured into agreeing to a sex-change operation and identity switch. It turns out that the son is still alive, but was hiding because he didn't want to be his father's pawn. He helps his sister until their father dies, at which point Black Jack (the surgeon hired to do the sex-change operation) reveals that he never actually performed the operation. He just hypnotized the daughter into thinking she'd been turned into a boy. Erm...yeah. | |

Actually doubled up on in an episode of House. Count 1: The Patient of the Week is a teenage girl with a sick brother who seems driven to live the life he'd be living if he weren't sick, so that he can experience it vicariously through her. Count 2: Eventually, through some Medical Phlebotinum, it turns out the only way to save her is a treatment that will shorten his life significantly. She first tries to kill herself when she realizes what her parents are arguing about, but then her brother tells her he wants to live on through her continuing to live. | |

Following her brother's death, Teana from Lyrical Nanoha made it her life goal to become an enforcer, just like he wanted to, using the skills that he taught her. Teana's brother had injured but failed to capture a wanted mage, thus causing his superiors to denounce him as useless, and driving Teana to prove them wrong. Teana eventually succeeds in becoming an Enforcer after outgrowing her stubbornness and obsession with proving herself. | |

In Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, shortly after Kamina's death, Simon attempts a Dead Person Impersonation before eventually realizing the significance of Kamina's "Believe in yourself" last words and becoming more self-confident. When they grew up, Simon heavily adopted Kamina's manner of thinking, though tempered with more sanity and intelligence. In the final arc, Simon's outfit even looks like Kamina, with both of them going shirtless and wearing a Badass Longcoat / Badass Cape. | |

A Naruto filler mission used this trope, where a country's princess took her assassinated brother's place to keep the assassination secret and root out the culprit. After the mastermind was brought to justice, she came clean and ruled as herself. The entirety of the Sasuke/Itachi conflict in was caused by this trope. Everything Sasuke went through up until Itachi's death was his brother's doing, so that after Sasuke killed him Sasuke would fulfill Itachi's objective. |

Creepily and cruelly played with in Sakura Gari. As a child, young Youya Saiki saw how his half-brother Souma was forced by his evil tutor Katsuragi into murdering Youya's mother Sakurako, as revenge for her abusing and raping Souma. Poor Youya fell into insanity, took up his mother's name and started calling himself Sakurako, wearing his mom's kimonos and tricking everyone outside the family into believing he was a girl. He ended up locked in an old warehouse for nine years, then only got out when a fire broke in. | |

The real reason Ringo Oginome from Penguindrum is so obsessed with the teacher Keiju Tabuki, because her sister Momoka died the same day Ringo was born, and her death tore the Oginome family apart; young Ringo then started to aim to "become Momoka" in a heartfelt yet misguided attempt to bring her parents back together. Tabuki is also the person who taught Ringo about "destiny" as well as what Momoka meant to him and the Oginomes, so she started to follow the instructions written in Momoka's diary to further her "transformation" into her dead older sister. | |

In the Protector of the Small books, would-be Non-Action Guy Neal starts training for his knighthood at fifteen (a late age) because his older brothers have all died,note during the events of The Immortals, in fact and his family/house is a pillar of the kingdom that's supposed to always have at least one knight serving the crown. Notably, no one's forcing him into this - in fact his father, hearing him complain about a fellow page, asks if this means he's come back to his senses and will return to academia - but he believes strongly in continuing the tradition. | |

Persona 5 Royal introduces a new character named Kasumi Yoshizawa, a New Transfer Student that's also an accomplished gymnast. Kasumi has a younger sister named Sumire who died before the protagonist moved in. Saying that both of them has dream of becoming the best gymnastic champions. It turns out that the "Kasumi" you know was actually Sumire, the younger sister. The real Kasumi died protecting her. Sumire took on her sister Kasumi's identity after her death thanks to Maruki's cognitive therapy. She still takes this trope after the cognitive overlay's gone, but in a healthier way by living up to Kasumi's optimism and believing in her faith towards her. | |

Black Butler has this with the main character, who is NOT Ciel Phantomhive, but his identical twin. Both boys were abducted when their parents were killed, and sold to the devil-worshipping cult that wanted to summon Sebastian; while flashbacks throughout the story had implied that Ciel just barely survived being sacrificed to make his Deal with the Devil, in actuality he was killed on the altar and his twin contracted with Sebastian for revenge. Since the twin was always sickly and self-conscious due to being the 'useless' second child, he decided it would be better if he was the one who died (that, and he needed the power of the Queen's Watchdog to hunt down their family's killers). | |

Vorkosigan Saga: In Mirror Dance, after Miles is killed (temporarily it turns out) the Dendarii want his clone-brother, Mark, to impersonate him. Mark is horrified by the thought, largely because rescuing Mark from a disastrous previous attempt to impersonate him got Miles killed in the first place. Mark responds by gaining enough weight that he no longer resembles Miles. | |

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: One episode featured a doctor who was the Posthumous Sibling of her parents' beloved son, on a timeline that makes it pretty clear they conceived her for the sole purpose of having a Replacement Goldfish for her brother. Literally from the day she was born, her parents dictated every aspect of her life to make it mirror the life her brother had desired (for example, she was forced to go to medical school because her brother had wanted to be a doctor), with no consideration for what she wanted. Even after she's arrested for fraud and murder, all they care about is that she brought shame upon her brother by setting up a phony charitable foundation named after him. |

On Black Lagoon, 'Hansel and Gretel' are a set of identical, mentally disturbed twins who switch between which one's being 'Hansel' and which one's 'Gretel' whenever the mood strikes them. When Hansel... errrr, the twin who at that moment is Hansel dies, the twin who is Gretel can't comprehend the notion that Hansel is dead and switches to Hansel (briefly) to prove it. Did we mention the pair are utterly mad yet? | |

Honkai Impact 3rd: Seele Vollerei's second personality, "Seele", ties her whole existence up to protecting the former. It goes to such an extreme that one potential future seemingly shows Seele living her life, until it's revealed that it's actually "Seele", grown so distraught at the other's death that she's deluded herself into thinking she's the original personality and that it was "Seele" who sacrificed herself. | |

One episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine featured a pair of twin aliens. When one was killed, the other explained that twins in his species are essentially one being (leaving him as only half a person). Referring to his deceased brother as the only thing that made life enjoyable he asserts that the only joy he will ever feel again will be from taking his revenge PERSONALLY on the killer. He explains that letting the local law or even the killer's home planet (where he is slated to be executed) deal with him is not good enough. | |

An unwilling variant shows up in the Sleepaway Camp franchise. In the beginning of the first movie, an accident that results in the death of a father and one of his twin children is shown. Its ambiguous as to whether the brother or sister survived at first, though the movie leads you to believe it was the sister, Angela. In actuality, it was the brother, Peter. Angela/Peter's aunt Martha, who took her/him in after the accident, already had a son, and wanted to have a daughter, so she made Peter become Angela. | |

In humor manga Sket Dance, team geek Switch's Tear Jerker Back Story turns out to be this. He used to be a really normal handsome guy, before his genius little brother was killed. Something he said in a fit of jealousy put the murderer on the kid originally, so he stopped using his accidentally destructive voice, eventually replacing it with the text-to-speech program the original Switch was working on when he died, and he feels it should have been him, so once he snaps out of his Heroic BSoD he ditches his entire previous personality and takes on his brother's nickname, glasses, dress sense, and lifestyle. His mother is furious. Oddly, he appears to be completely comfortable with this identity these days and is highly popular with his classmates, despite coming off as a nut job. (He got the 'number one Otaku' and 'number one Popular Guy' medals by popular vote.) It never comes up outside of flashbacks, and none of the classmates who would remember what he used to be like ever bring it up, but there is a genuine creepiness factor to Switch and his laptop once you know why he's doing that, especially since other character's tragic backstories are treated much differently in the story. The latter half of his backstory, published much later (and never adapted into the anime), reveals that Switch himself recognized how creepy this is and he wants to eventually move on but he doesn't have the courage to do so right away and is taking one step at a time to forgive himself while most of his classmates, his friends Bossun and Himeko and at least some of his teachers are well aware of his past and reasoning behind his changed appearance and they have just accepted him, because he too wants to be a better person. The final story arc of the manga reveals that he eventually got over it and started talking with his real voice again, grew his hair out like he originally had, while being grateful to all the friends he has made who helped him. Unfortunately, the glasses stuck, because his vision worsened over time due to spending too much time in the computer and watching anime, a habit he developed during his time as a hikkikomori. | |

Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, as Viola takes on the role of her brother Sebastian. She pulls it off because the people she's impersonating him to don't know Sebastian, and she doesn't use his name, so it's an entirely private tribute on her part out of practicality because she doesn't have a man to represent her interests. Then there is a lot of falling in love, gender-bending and clever wordplay. This also features one of two of Shakespeare's uses of tragic Antonio, two guys with the same name who in Twelfth Night and The Merchant of Venice appear to be desperately in love (platonically or not) with younger male friends who marry others, because Sebastian isn't really dead. When Antonio mistakes the cross-dressing Viola for Sebastian, he gets his heart totally broken. |

Zandale Randolph, better known as Bulletproof and Invincible, got his superpowers in an accident that killed his twin brother. Knowing that his brother was the favorite son and that losing him would be the death of his parents, he took on his brother's identity. Like the Secret Plot Deep example above, this was only when he was around his parents — and in this case, a little less than half the time, as his brother didn't live all that close to their parents and would only visit occasionally. | |

Inverted, then played straight in The DCU by the Crimson Fox. The inversion: Upon gaining their superpowers, identical twins Constance and Vivian D'aramis, co-owners of a Parisian perfume company, arranged to fake Constance's death, so each of them could go back and forth playing Vivian and the Crimson Fox. Played straight: When Vivian was actually killed in action, Constance assumed both roles. |

Final Fantasy: Cloud's way of repaying Big Brother Mentor Zack's Heroic Sacrifice in Crisis Core, which leads to his Loss of Identity existential crisis in Final Fantasy VII. At the end of Final Fantasy XII, Basch takes over the position of Judge-Magister Gabranth, who was formerly his twin brother. Especially ironic in this case, as his brother had used their identical appearance to frame Basch as a king-slayer in the prologue. Near the end of Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, it's revealed that Yda died long before we ever met her, and the "Yda" we've been allies with since joining the Scions is actually her younger sister, Lyse, who took on her role and identity so that her death wasn't for nothing. Final Fantasy XIV has another case that was mostly explained in the bonus material: Nael van Darnus, main villain of the 1.0 game and recurring boss afterwards, has been dead for decades. The Garlean legatus you've been fighting is Nael's sister Eula, who decided to take over her brother's life after he died. |

Happens rather literally in Psychic Academy. After an incident in the backstory where Ren got killed and his sister Fafa ended up needing a heart replacement, Ren's heart was placed in Fafa. Since that point, whenever Fafa's pulse rises above a certain level, she turns into Ren. This isn't just a personality shift, her body literally changes gender. | |

In Drowtales, taken to a dark extreme. Yaeminira was an adopted sister and "Protector Twin" to the original Vy'chriel Val'Sharen. When Vy'chriel showed disregard and disobedience to their mother's orders, Yaeminira slew her in single combat, turned her body into a golem and switched their names around, making herself Vy'Chriel Vel'Sharen and the living corpse of her sister Yaeminira. Zala'ess Vel'Sharen, who loved her trueborn daughter deeply despite her disobedience, absolutely despised Yaeminira for her actions and eventually sent her on a suicide run on their enemies the Val'Sarghress, seeing her death as vengeance for the true Vy'chriel's death. | |

In Digimon Adventure 02, Ken's parents often had the spotlight on his older brother Osamu, who was regarded as a child prodigy. Out of jealousy, Ken wished he were dead, and soon after he died in a car accident. After that, Ken took on several of his brother's attributes out of guilt, and in hopes that his parents would recognize him more. When Ken stopped being the Digimon Kaiser, his worried parents apologized to him, and Ken accepted their apologies and began working on his Heel–Face Turn. | |

Bloom Into You has one that goes into detail about the emotional and mental consequences of this. Touko's older sister died in a traffic accident. This is what jumpstarted her desire to be like the perfect and beloved older sister Touko looked up to and to accomplish all the things her sister could not. However, this causes Touko endless self-loathing and severe self-esteem issues, to the point where she has no idea who her original self was and she has no intention of remembering because all she knows is that she hated how she used to be. Protagonist Yuu eventually realizes just how unhealthy this is not just for Touko, but everyone else around her. | |

Tootsie: Michael Dorsey (as Dorothy Michaels) reveals on live TV that he is actually his character's twin-brother out to honor his sister's memory. The rest of the production is forced to run with it, despite the fact that the cast and crew are just as shocked by The Reveal as the viewers are. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Just before jumping to her death, Buffy tells Dawn to "live ... for me." However, because nobody in the Buffyverse stays dead for long, we never find out if Dawn would have adopted this trope. | |

Ace Attorney: In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All, the Miney sisters. The two got into a car accident, killing Ini Miney and leaving Mimi Miney severely burned. Mimi underwent plastic surgery and her face was rebuilt as her sister's, due to a photo of her sister being in her pocket. Turns out Mimi deliberately did this to hide from her past failures as a nurse and get revenge for her sister's death. And a bit literally with spirit medium Maya Fey. Her sister Mia lives on through her... because Maya occasionally channels her. Averted (thankfully) with Dahlia Hawthorne and her unwitting half-sister Pearl. If Pearl had succeeded in channeling Dahlia, the vengeful spirit would have used her body to murder Maya. |

Done in a roundabout way in Fire Emblem: Awakening. A young man named Gregor died saving his younger brother from bandits. The surviving younger brother then renamed himself Gregor to honor his brother's sacrifice, and ultimately became the rather famed mercenary that the Chrom's Shepherds recruit. | |

An episode of MacGyver featured a rock star that was eventually revealed to be her twin sister switching back and forth between both identities: the real rock star had died during a climbing accident involving the two sisters. This caused the surviving sister to take both identities to "keep her sister alive" and grow increasingly unstable. | |

In Gravity Falls, Stanford Pines was lost to an alien dimension in a fight with his twin brother Stanley in 1982. Stanley proceeded to spend the next 30 years of his life attempting to rescue him, including taking on his name and identity to avoid suspicion and keep his activities a secret. As of the real Stanford's return, he's allowed Stanley to keep up the charade in public until the end of the summer. | |
