A Sub-Trope of the Odd Couple wherein the odd couple are twins, usually identical brothers or sisters (or cousins, as long as they're still using the "identical appearance, contrasting personalities" motif). Basically, Sibling Yin-Yang for twins, as there is an extra bit of irony when people born at the same time (and who usually look the same as well) are so different. They'll usually embrace using Identical Twin ID Tags to help the differentiation. Sometimes overlaps with Cain and Abel, in which case you might expect Fearful Symmetry. Also frequently overlaps with Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling and Red Oni, Blue Oni. Compare Evil Twin. The extreme opposite is Single-Minded Twins or Creepy Twins. |

Brimstone Angels: Main character Farideh is broody, angsty, and painfully self-aware that her heritage as a Tiefling (human-devil hybrid) marks her as an outcast. Her twin sister Havilar is cheerful, friendly, and if she has any awareness of how people view her and her sister, she never shows it (much to Farideh's chagrin). On top of that, Havilar is a traditional Action Girl, who took to their adoptive father's martial training much better than Farideh, whose decision to become a warlock sets the plot in motion. Part of Farideh's angst is that she's convinced people want her to be more like Havilar. | |

Sleepless Domain: Forte Bass (aka Gail) and Outrageous Apple. Bass has music-based powers, is pretty modest, and is mute, while Apple runs on a rebel/punk/fruit theme, uses her skateboard to attack, is loud and brash, and speaks enough for both of them. Oddly enough, they both still have red as their magical girl color. | |

Through Black Spruce: Despite them being identical, Annie and Suzanne are opposites in many ways. Before going to search for her sister, Annie seemed happy living in their rural home town, which Suzanne hated, leaving it for Toronto. Annie wears more masculine clothes mostly, while Suzanne became a model. Suzanne had gotten in trouble with drugs and an abusive boyfriend; conversely Annie is a sober, very responsible person overall. | |

Ranma ½: Towards the end of the manga, the story introduces Pink and Link, identical twin girls from a village of herbalists that neighbours Shampoo's village of "Chinese Amazons" and who practice different branches of an unnamed "Martial Arts Herbalism", a fighting style that revolves around plants and herbalistic concoctions. Pink, who is usually smiling, is a wicked and vicious girl who loves to poison people. Link, who is usually frowning, is a kind and gentle girl who considers it her duty to heal those her sister hurts. Despite these opposite natures, they care for each other deeply and are capable of uniting with singular purpose when given motive... which means that, in their actual appearance in Nerima, they function more like Single-Minded Twins. | |

The Get Backers game Jagan Fuuin has the Mikado twins: Daisuke is very compassionate and sweet and easily befriends the main cast, whereas his identical twin Kyosuke is cold, emotionless, rarely speaks, and seems robotic. It's eventually revealed that the twins are the same person, namely Kyosuke, who, due to fear of their immense spiritual power, were split into two entities, the "body" and "soul". Daisuke is the soul, and once they're merged back into Kyosuke, he acts much like his "brother" did. | |

The Marlow twins Nicola and Lawrie from the Marlow series by Antonia Forest. They are so identical in looks that they are easily mistaken one for the other by people who don't know either of them well, but so different in mannerisms, behaviour, and speech, that anyone who does know them well can tell them apart immediately. Lawrie, a skilled actor, can more easily pass for Nicola when she wants to than Nicola can for Lawrie - a plot point in one of the books. | |

Fire Emblem: Edain and Brigid from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Edain is a sweet White Magician Girl who didn't train as an Action Girl because it simply didn't fit her kind nature, while Brigid is a stubborn Lad-ette that was first kidnapped and then raised among pirates. Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade introduces another pair in Lugh and Raigh. Lugh is a cheerful mage (specializes in elemental magic), while Raigh is a cold and calculating shaman (specializes in dark magic). Fire Emblem Fates features two sets, though they're actually non-identical in both cases: Nohr natives Felicia and Flora are more adept at combat and housework, respectively. When push comes to shove, Felicia's loyalty is to Corrin, while Flora's loyalty is to her tribe. From Hoshido, Kaze is fairly calm and collected, while Saizo is more Hot-Blooded and blunt. Kaze becomes one of Corrin's closest allies in all three routes, while Saizo distrusts Corrin in the two routes in which he joins. Fittingly, Saizo's hair is red and Kaze's is green. |

In BoJack Horseman's Show Within a Show, Mr. Peanutbutter's House, the titular character adopts human twins Zoe and Zelda; the former is outgoing and cheerful, while the latter is sullen and brooding.

Katie and Emily Fitch from Skins. In the beginning, Katie is portrayed as the shallow, popular, boy-obsessed Alpha Bitch, and Emily as the sweet, socially-awkward Shrinking Violet (and closet lesbian) who does everything her bossy sister says until she comes out of the closet and begins dating her girlfriend Naomi. But when both girls suffer a series of severe personal setbacks they handle it very differently, with Katie gaining a lot more depth and maturity, having to hold the family together virtually on her own, and Emily becoming more and more angry and destructive. | |

Polgara and her twin Beldaran in The Belgariad series. The former is dark-haired, has a grim disposition, and grew up to be an immortal sorceress. The latter was blonde, had a sunny disposition, and married young to become the queen of an island kingdom and bear the royal line which would deliver the child of prophecy, before dying young of pneumonia. As Polgara's biography explains, the two were originally much more similar, but their mother tampered with them in the womb to prepare them for their destinies. | |

Super Danganronpa Another 2 has the Otonokoji sisters. Hibiki is brash, outspoken, and feisty, while Kanade is more submissive, friendly, and gentle-hearted. Additionally, Kanade proves to be quite helpful and insightful during Class Trials, while Hibiki isn't initially willing to trust anyone but gradually warms up to her classmates. Chapter 3 later reveals just how deep it runs: Hibiki is really a kind girl who genuinely loves and cares for her sister, while Kanade is revealed to be an utterly remorseless Yandere who's spent years making her "inferior" twin sister emotionally dependent on her. Namely by mentally abusing her and killing everyone who she feels gets too close to Hibiki. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: A pair of identical cousins Adrien and Félix. Adrien is an Extreme Doormat but he's a genuinely sweet kid and a Nice Guy with No Social Skills due to his lonely rich kid's upbringing, while Félix is a Jerkass Manipulative Bastard and possible sociopath. Even their appearances contrast - Adrien keeps his hair wavy and wears casual clothes most of the time, while Félix has more carefully combed hair and wears a vest and tie. Émilie (Adrien's mother) and Amélie (Félix's mother) are implied to be twins, but while Émilie was (as far as anyone knows) a genuine Nice Girl who was close with both Gabriel and Adrien, Amélie is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing with a disturbing Lack of Empathy, as she mocks Gabriel for still wearing his wedding ring (even though she herself lost her husband at some point after Émilie's disappearance, not to mention that Émilie is, again, her twin sister) and encourages Félix to become Mommy's Little Villain. |

In the original Story Lottie and Lisa by Erich Kästner (aka "Das doppelte Lottchen"), the titular twins had extremely different personalities, which made their place change all the more hilarious, and later difficult. Lisa was a cheerful, bratty tomboy while Lottie was a sensible, serious, prim, and proper girl who behaved almost like a grown-up. Most film versions omit this aspect. | |

The titular Cuphead is known for being the hot-blooded, courageous, and sometimes devious older twin brother. "A shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later type of guy." Mugman is known for being the good-humored, industrious, and rascally younger twin brother. "Calculated in battle and a tricky adversary." While both of them have a rebellious streak, Mugman does try to stop Cuphead when the latter gets too overconfident when betting against the Devil. | |

Blue Exorcist is essentially about a pair of these, as both Okumura brothers are very different: Yukio is a stoic Badass Bookworm Teen Genius, kind at heart but thoroughly steeped in moral grays, who subverts Half-Human Hybrid due to being sickly when young, while Rin is a Hot-Blooded Book Dumb Almighty Janitor who is the inheritor of Satan's power and holds himself to strict principles for fear his demonic heritage will drive him off the deep end. They fell into this when younger as well, with Yukio being a Shrinking Violet Cute Bookworm (and still has shades of both still), while Rin was a Pint-Sized Powerhouse loner. | |

The Flash: Hyperactive, Fun Personified speedster Bart Allen (aka (Impulse) and his collected, scheming, evil clone Thaddeus Thawne (Inertia). Bart even mentions The Patty Duke Show the first time they meet, suggesting they switch places to befuddle their friends. Thad responds by punching Bart in the nose. The Tornado Twins, Don and Dawn Allen, are barely shown enough to have characterization other than as Single-Minded Twins, but their individual personalities are All There in the Manual: Don is studious, levelheaded, and prefers to carefully think of a plan before taking action, while Dawn is extroverted, impulsive and will follow her gut nine times out of ten. |

Hamel and Sizer from Violinist of Hameln. Hamel is loud, obnoxious, and tends to spaz out, while his sister Sizer is calm, sensible, and serious. He's arrogant and loves to boast while she's a bit shy and doesn't like a lot of attention. Them being opposites is also emphasized by the fact Hamel is half-demon while Sizer is half angel, and she starts as a villain while Hamel is the hero. | |

Mars (1996): Rei was always very active and prone to getting himself into trouble while Sei was quiet, artistic, and something of a crybaby. And then the real reason it turned out they were opposites was that while Rei had it in him to be well-adjusted, Sei was actually a sociopath who placed no value in human life aside from him and Rei. | |

Felix and Ted Huxley from Kindergarten 2. Felix is a pint-sized Rich Bastard who constantly belittles and bosses around his brother and is planning to have him murdered so he won't have to share his inheritance. Ted on the other hand is far more pleasant, but is also an Extreme Doormat to his brother and so desperate to win his and their father's approval that he's willing (though reluctant) to go along with Felix's plan to murder one of their classmates, even though he doesn't even know why said classmate needs to die beyond vague reasons of "inheritance" and "for the good of the company". | |

Deliberately invoked in Raise the Titanic!. Pitt has been hunting for Silver and Gold, a pair of Soviet spies on the NUMA Titanic project. He's figured out Gold is Drummer and while much of his background was hidden, the FBI were able to discover he was one of a pair of non-identical fraternal twins. Sandecker says it must have been easy for one twin to lead to the other but Pitt corrects him that the two were very smart and played as total opposites in personality while rarely hanging out so no one would make any connection. Pitt himself was stumped until Drummer was going crazy about a submarine in trouble and Pitt realized his twin had to be one of the three men on board. Since one was eight years older than Drummer and the other Mexican, that left Merker. | |

Trigun: Vash and Knives. One is a genocidal maniac and the other is a pacifist. Vash is also all about how other people feel and love and peace, and Knives doesn't even do empathy for his twin with whom he has an effing psychic link. Vash acts like a fool whenever he can and Knives is all superiority and icy control except when his temper gets away from him. They do have a bit in common still when you get past the good and evil divide. For instance, scary if you get them mad. Stubborn as hell. Charisma. Way of speaking, when serious, is even a little similar. Pretty good, when you consider they've been separated over a hundred times as long as they were together. When they were kids in the anime, one was unusually mature and one was goofy. No prizes for which. In the manga, they were much more similar, but Vash was more outgoing and Knives was more sensitive. | |

Malenia is a redheaded Statuesque Stunner of an Action Girl who's best known for her unparalleled swordplay, while Miquella was blonde and a Non-Action Guy as he was cursed to eternal childhood, but was The Archmage and an excellent inventor. The two work together to support Miquella's plan to become a full god and nurture the Haligtree as a home for those outcast from the Golden Order. There's also Mohg and Morgott, the Omen twins. You wouldn't know the two were related just from seeing them together, as Mohg barely looks humanoid while Morgott looks like a tall human with horns sprouting around his body. Morgott is also a staunch supporter of the Golden Order despite its hatred for Omens and currently being in shambles, while Mohg has embraced the defilement he was born into and worships an Outer God called the Formless Mother, and with her aid created Blood Magic. |

Gekkou is mature, gentle, reasonable, and already independent from Pegasus, meanwhile Yakou is very dependent on Pegasus, that he flips his shit upon Pegasus's disappearance and takes over Kaiba Corporation to resurrect Pegasus, effectively becoming the Big Bad, spends his time on screen showing his insanity, gloating off his victory and telling the protagonists he is unstoppable or ranting about the fact that Gekkou used to be Always Someone Better to him. In their flashback too, they are this. Gekkou is cheerful and always in the spotlight, meanwhile Yakou is gloomy and forgotten or only seen as the inferior version of Gekkou. Their names reflect this too. Gekkou means "Moon Verse" when Yakou means "Night Verse". Lampshaded by Yakou himself in his match against Yugi. | |

Shaun and Shem from Finnegans Wake probably count, but it's hard to figure out which is which, due to the book changing their names constantly. All you need to know is one is boring and dull, and the other is really creative and artistic. Specifically, Shaun is dull and conformist but successful in society, while Shem is a slovenly outcast but also an artistic genius. |

In Castle Hangnail, Molly is a Wicked Witch who likes bats and earwigs and animal skeletons and dresses in black as much as her parents will let her; Sarah loves pink and glitter and ponies, goes around making insipid comments to "Mr Bluebird" and "Miss Rabbit", and regularly visits the residents of the local retirement home. | |

The Order of the Stick has Elan and Nale, who look the same except for a goatee on Nale, but their personalities are the complete opposite. Elan is good, naive, and Genre Savvy, while Nale is evil and scheming. It turns out that Elan got his goodness from his mother and his genre savviness from his father, while Nale got his evilness from his father and his Complexity Addiction from his mother. Their opposite is also indicated by their names. | |

Mion is assertive and bombastic, the leader of her True Companions; Shion is sly and seductive, preferring to manipulate people subtly rather than openly command them. It's even more odd when you realize that they're acting like each other, thanks to a Twin Switch they made when they were younger. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has fraternal twin brothers Vilkas and Farkas in the Companions guild, who are a combination of this trope and Red Oni, Blue Oni. Vilkas is very intelligent but abrasive, hot-blooded, and not especially friendly to new arrivals. Farkas is generally regarded as being dumb muscle, but much more laid back, difficult to anger, and sweet-natured. They are both good people, however, and they love each other and their guildmates. | |

And yes, they are the Gemini Saints of their era, where Defteros had to kill Aspros because he showed his true colors, wanting to kill Defteros so that he could be the Pope.

The Warcraft universe has Malfurion and Illidan Stormrage, the night elf twin brothers. The former leads his people to druidism as an alternative to the dangerous magic that brought the Burning Legion to Azeroth. The latter insists on tapping both that magic and the power of the demons themselves, is imprisoned for centuries, and eventually becomes an Evil Overlord. | |

Fire Emblem Fates features two sets, though they're actually non-identical in both cases: Nohr natives Felicia and Flora are more adept at combat and housework, respectively. When push comes to shove, Felicia's loyalty is to Corrin, while Flora's loyalty is to her tribe. From Hoshido, Kaze is fairly calm and collected, while Saizo is more Hot-Blooded and blunt. Kaze becomes one of Corrin's closest allies in all three routes, while Saizo distrusts Corrin in the two routes in which he joins. Fittingly, Saizo's hair is red and Kaze's is green. |

Ravenloft: Laurie and Gennifer Weathermay-Foxgrove are identical twin monster-hunters and proteges of Rudolph van Richten. Laurie is an exuberant tomboy, fencer, and pistoleer who dresses like a man, while Gennifer is a demure, sober-minded wizard with closets full of conservative dresses. Also, Gennifer may be an unwitting lycanthrope. |

Fushigi Yuugi gives us easygoing, kind, polite Amiboshi contrasted to Hot-Blooded Jerkass Suboshi. Heck, even their weapons are different: Amiboshi has a flute which he can use for Mind Control on his opponents (for good or evil purposes), and Suboshi prefers to just smash through everything with a Killer Yo-Yo. Even their clothes reflect just how opposite they are: Amiboshi wears a blue tunic, and Suboshi wears an orange one. (At least in the series; in promo artwork, they are very frequently dressed exactly alike.) | |

Dead Ringers has identical twin gynecologists Elliot and Beverly Mantle. Elliot is smooth and a ladykiller while Beverly is a Shrinking Violet. They are so identical that the only way Beverly can have sex is for Elliot to seduce the woman then substitute Bev for himself at the very last moment in the bedroom. | |

The Tortall Universe gives us: In Song of the Lioness, Alanna the down-to-earth Action Girl who dislikes magic, academic pursuits, and social games, and Thom the fame-hungry career mage and scholar who thinks he's Above Good and Evil. A deliberate subversion of this trope in the next generation with Alanna's daughter and son Alianne and Alan in the Trickster's Duet, who are neither this nor Single-Minded Twins. Word of God says this was to point out that there's not always some mystical weirdness about twins. |

Sweet & Bitter Magic: Although identical, Tamsin and Marlena were very different otherwise. Tamsin is the most powerful witch in her generation, able to do spells with ease which exhaust others. Marlena though was very weak, and doing even simple spells put her in the infirmary, even into a coma. She grew to hate Tamsin for accidentally killing a friend of hers. Tamsin though had caused this as a result of a spell to save Marlena because of how much she loved her, which caused her to risk everything. | |

Played with in Ennui GO!. Izzy and her twin sister Adelie are very similar, the only real difference being that Adelie lacks Izzy's crippling depression and prefers alcohol to drugs. Meanwhile, both of them stand in contrast to Izzy's clone Kirsty, who is a Genki Girl and lacks their cynical attitudes. This is justified by the cloning process didn't include Izzy's memories. | |

A Pairing Of Souls features Shen Jiu adopting Shen Yuan as his younger twin brother. If Shen Jiu is an unrepentant asshole who constantly plans for the worst and tries to hide his vulnerable soft center, Shen Yuan is openly nice and personable to the point of naivety but will display a steely spine when his buttons are pushed. | |

The Sims 2: In Strangetown there's Lola and Chloe, in the Singles household, although whether or not they are actually twins is somewhat debatable. Lola is Married to the Job, while Chloe is a Hard-Drinking Party Girl. The Davis twins from the University expansion are described as "different as night and day" within the game, yet they actually have identical personalities and aspirations. The only real difference between them is their appearances and what they like to talk about. Similarly, the Pleasant twins in Pleasantview are supposedly very different but have very similar personalities. |

Suiseiseki and Souseiseki from Rozen Maiden are very much this, both including a Tomboy and Girly Girl relationship, but with several more differing characteristic traits. Where Souseiseki is stoic, Suiseiseki is emotional. Souseiseki is serious and collected, while Suiseiseki is mischievous. Souseiseki believes it is the duty for every doll to participate in the Alice Game regardless of personal attachments, while Suiseiseki strictly opposes the Alice Game due to fear of losing her sisters. | |

Anansi Boys: Fat Charlie and Spider start out as this. Fat Charlie is the mundane, responsible, and anxious twin with the dull accounting job and absolutely no knowledge of his family's supernatural background — while Spider is an impossibly cool, impossibly confident party animal who goes through life without a care for anything or anyone and is seemingly the only one of the two to inherit their father's Trickster God powers. It's eventually even revealed that they are not technically twin brothers, but rather Spider is Charlie's Literal Split Personality, his magical half that was cast out of him by an old lady that he angered as a child. Although Charlie concludes that they have both grown into their own whole persons from it and the two still regard each other as brothers. As the story goes, Spider becomes more humble and responsible due to experiencing consequences for his actions for the first time in his life and learns how to care about other people, while Charlie learns how to be more confident and carefree and how to harness his own Trickster God powers. So by the end of the story, the twins are basically on equal footing. With Charlie possibly being the more confident and magical out of the two now, but still a far cry from the total opposites they were at the start. | |

Star Wars: Scoundrels: Bink and Tavia Kitik are amazingly identical physically, but couldn't be farther apart in personality. Bink is bold, outgoing, and a risk-taker, a Classy Cat-Burglar who's very good at infiltration and the physical aspects of the robbery. Tavia is quieter and less confident, but very skilled with electronics and computers, acting as an able Mission Control and support for her sister. Tavia makes herself sick with worry every time Bink goes on a job, is even more nervous when she has to go into the field herself and would like for them to go legit, but every time she tries Bink pulls them back into the life. Bink, for her part, considers Tavia naïve; her "legitimate" jobs have all involved someone taking advantage of her to accomplish something even shadier than thievery with her skills. | |

Vanilla is outgoing, friendly, and friendlier than her sister, who in turn is impatient, a bit aggressive, and Not a Morning Person. The fact that they both have Personality Powers only drives the point home since Vanilla's magic is light-based and Lavender's is drawn from darkness. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Pyra is a Rose-Haired Sweetie with a surprising strength. Mythra, her other personality, is a tough warrior girl who can be surprisingly tender. This was, in fact, intentional. Mythra was the original personality, and was so horrified when she destroyed three Titans (killing many of her friends in the process) that she created Pyra to be everything she wasn't. Pyra is even an excellent cook when Mythra is aggressively terrible. | |

Number 13 is an Affably Evil Blood Knight Lone Wolf who doesn't care about anyone besides Segiri. For bonus points, no one even knows what twins are due to being born from Uterine Replicators; everyone is rather confused that the two look identical, and their opposing personalities just confuse them more. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Aerea and Rhaella Targaryen, the daughters of Aegon the Uncrowned. As children, Aerea was shy and timid, while Rhaella was bold and willful. Growing up, however, their personalities dramatically switched, as Aerea became a wild and outspoken girl, while Rhaella turned into a studious girl who devoted herself to religion by becoming a septa. Because of this discrepancy, there are rumors that the girls switched places when they attended their uncle Jaehaerys' coronation at Oldtown. Baela and Rhaena Targaryen, Daemon's daughters with Laena Velaryon, were identical when they were young, but by the time they turned sixteen they no longer looked alike. Short-haired Baela was an energetic tomboy who loved to ride and fly, while long-haired Rhaena was a Proper Lady who loved dancing. Baela was a warrior during the Dance of the Dragons and personally dueled Aegon II using her dragon, while Rhaena, who didn't get a dragon until she's come of age, mostly stayed out of the conflict. |

In Pathfinder: Kingmaker Kanerah and Kalikke are identical tiefling twins. Kalikke is idealistic and dreamy, Chaotic Good, controls water, and can heal others at a cost to herself. Kanerah is pragmatic and ambitious, Lawful Evil, controls fire, and empowers herself by torturously offloading the cost of her abilities onto dead souls. Due to peculiar magical circumstances, they're rendered unable to exist simultaneously, communicating only through notes, and one of them comments this has the benefit of preventing them from constantly fighting. | |

This eventually enables him to receive Esau's birthright. They were at odds with one another before they were even born—God explains to their mother that her difficult pregnancy came from them fighting in the womb. They do manage to make peace... several years later. According to Jewish tradition, Jacob's cousins/wives, Rachel and Leah, were also twins and had similarly disparate personalities, the former being a quiet introvert, the latter more gregarious and emotional. |

Final Fantasy series: Final Fantasy IV: Palom and Porom. Palom is the bouncy, mischievous user of black magic, and Porom is the serious-minded user of white magic. Final Fantasy VI: Edgar and Sabin Figaro. Edgar is smart, The Strategist, and a Gadgeteer Genius, while Sabin is not much of a thinker and prefers to act with his hands since he's an incredibly powerful martial artist. Final Fantasy XIV: Alphinaud and Alisaie Leveilleur. Both are The Ace, but he is more levelheaded and diplomatically inclined, while she is Hot-Blooded and prefers a more direct approch. World of Final Fantasy: Lann and Reynn. Lann is bright and energetic, while Reynn is calm and calculated. Final Fantasy Dimensions contains gender-swapped Expies of these characters in soft-spoken, serious white mage (at game start) Dusk and his snarky, energetic black-magic-using (again, at game start) twin sister Alba. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Rua and Ruka (Leo and Luna, respectively, in the dub) from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. Rua is a rowdy, cocky duelist who overestimates himself. Ruka is quiet, introverted, and is usually the one to notify Rua when he goes too far. The original series' Yugi and Yami Yugi can be counted as this if you consider them twins (of the split personality/alternate guy living in your head kind), with a dash of Sibling Yin-Yang. The Tenma twins from the spin-off from the original series, Yu-Gi-Oh! R. Gekkou is mature, gentle, reasonable, and already independent from Pegasus, meanwhile Yakou is very dependent on Pegasus, that he flips his shit upon Pegasus's disappearance and takes over Kaiba Corporation to resurrect Pegasus, effectively becoming the Big Bad, spends his time on screen showing his insanity, gloating off his victory and telling the protagonists he is unstoppable or ranting about the fact that Gekkou used to be Always Someone Better to him. In their flashback too, they are this. Gekkou is cheerful and always in the spotlight, meanwhile Yakou is gloomy and forgotten or only seen as the inferior version of Gekkou. Their names reflect this too. Gekkou means "Moon Verse" when Yakou means "Night Verse". Lampshaded by Yakou himself in his match against Yugi. |

Ninjago: The Hands of Time are definitely this. Kru is old because he has been waiting forty years for his twin. He hates modern technology but admits that it has its uses, and at least tolerates his brother's love for what he hates. His powers are Reverse and Pause, for which the colors are copper/yellow and red. He's the brains and the calmer of the two but can fight on his own, even without his powers. Acronix is young, having traveled forty years into the future. He loves modern technology but is willing to return the old ways in life for Krux, though not without trying to get him to like technology. His powers are Forward and Slo-Mo, for which the colors are green and blue. He is the more excitable and brawny of the two but still able to understand technology within just a few days after his return. He's also quite adaptive, especially in battle. In the past, their outfits are even inverted versions of each other. In the present, they've undergone different Costume Evolution. Krux's is darker and more faded in coloration (since it's forty years old), and has an hourglass with a chain printed on his left torso and right leg, but was already there when Acronix returned. Acronix's is brighter and more vibrant in coloration just like it was in the past (since it hasn't had forty years in which to fade) and later has a phone with green earbuds attached printed on his right torso hand left shoulder. Acronix's hair is long and black while Krux's is white (formally black) and short. Krux has a mustache while Acronix has a beard. Krux has a pocket watch that is rarely seen outside his disguise, while Acronix has a smart watch that is constantly seen on his wrist. |

While Vax can be all these things in the right contexts, he's more prone to being composed, sarcastic, and pragmatic. The twins love each other dearly, though.

In the Selerbergiada short stories by Ewa Białołęcka, Rita and Ricky von Selerberg are fraternal twins, and they can be mistaken for each other when seen from the behind. But while Rita trains dwarven box and hides her fashion-related interests (because she considers herself too unattractive to look anything but ridiculous in cute clothes), Ricky is definitely a lover, not a fighter - his main interests remain dating and music (dwarven metal, admittedly). Most of the time she's the mastermind behind whatever they do, while he just goes along and snarks. | |

El Goonish Shive: Elliot and his Opposite-Sex Clone Ellen are very different from each other. Elliot is reserved, shy, and is naïve to a ridiculous degree. Ellen is brash, worldly, and outgoing. Justified since Ellen has tried to distance herself from Elliot's memories, and she also had an entire lifetime's worth of experience from an Alternate Dimension implanted in her head. Susan is a nerdy asexual introvert while Diane is a bisexual Lovable Alpha Bitch. Justified since they weren't raised together and aren't actually twins; they're distantly related through an immortal elf and only happen to be identical to each other due to destiny or magical shenanigans or elsewhat. |

In License to Drive, protagonist Les (Corey Haim) is laid back, fun-loving, and just a typical teenage boy in most respects. His twin sister Natalie is bookish, serious, and depicted as being rather a stick in the mud. The trope is lampshaded when Natalie aces her written driving exam and Les fails his. He manages to knock out the computer system before his grade can be recorded; this leads the woman running the exam to just allow him to go ahead with the practical exam. Her logic? | |

Underworld (2003): In Evolution, Markus and William Corvinus are twin brothers who respectively became the first vampire and first werewolf. One is scheming and pompous, the other is near-mindless and savage. Unusual in that we never learn if they'd been genetically identical or not, as William is already locked permanently in his wolf-man form at the time the film is set, but they probably were. | |

In Silver Surfer: Dawn Greenwood's Establishing Character Moment is when she and her sister Eve see a shooting star (actually the Surfer), Eve wishes to go everywhere and see everything, and Dawn wishes that the star could keep going so everyone could get a wish. Eve thinks Dawn's wasted her wish since she didn't really ask for anything, and Dawn doesn't understand why anyone would want to leave their hometown. As an adult Eve's been all over the world, and Dawn still doesn't see why anyone would leave. (Too bad The Call Knows Where She Lives.) | |

They're both architects who have worked together on many of the town's structures, but Andrei is a more social person who runs his own bar, is hedonistic, and has a somewhat hot temper; Peter, on the other hand, is depressive, tends to keep to himself, and gets drunk on the town's version of alcohol. | |

The Avengers: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are polar opposites most of the time—Pietro is stern and stubborn and hot-tempered, his sister is gentle and patient and demure. This is especially true of their earliest appearances, where it was easier to define Wanda's personality as "Pietro's opposite". Over the years, however, Wanda has gained a stubborn temper of her own, making her more similar to her brother. | |

Two of a Kind and So Little Time, both with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — the twins also played this up in most of their DTV movies as well. Mary-Kate typically played the wild and tomboyish twin while Ashley usually played the more responsible and more feminine sister. One of the only times that this was ever reversed was in Winning London (the movie where they went to England), where Mary-Kate was Chloe Lawrence, a serious and competitive overachiever, while Ashley was Chloe's laid-back/fun-loving twin sister, Riley. |

At the convention, the wicked twin had gone as an angel and the good one as a devil, but after the Change they only remain in these forms for a moment before they feel a pair of immense hands pick them up and set them down in each other's bodies. | |

The Interesting Twins From Beneath the Mountain from Codename: Kids Next Door come off as creepy, Single-Minded Twins at first, but after a series of failures, their personalities shine through: the female twin is hot-tempered, commanding, and impulsive, while her brother is calmer and more likely to go along with her plans (he is fiercely protective over her when she's upset, however). Plus, the birthmarks on their face make them a literal example of Sibling Yin-Yang. | |

Leave for Mendeleiev features Chloe and Amber Bourgeois. While Chloe prefers using her father's connections and funds to coast along taking everything she feels obligated to have, Amber has been raised by their mother to work hard and earn things rather than relying upon the station she was born into. Naturally, Chloe believes that Amber has screwed her out of her mother's love by her very existence, rather than considering that it might have anything to do with how she's always cutting corners and trying to trick and bully her way into getting everything she wants handed to her. | |

Harry and Danny in Life's Curse, Death's Gift share a temper and a Chronic Hero Syndrome, but being Separated at Birth ensured they grew quite distinct from each other. Harry lashes out in anger against injustice and was eager to drop his abusive relatives to join the Wizarding World, Danny is more cautious about antagonizing other people even when they clearly are in the wrong and is upset to leave his loving parents and sister in order to study magic at Hogwarts. It causes a lot of friction between them. | |

Pokémon Reset Bloodlines has two pairs of Half-Identical Twins with this dynamic, overlapping with Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Elwood and Aideen, the twins who got the remaining starter Pokémon from Professor Oak on the same day as Ash and Gary. Elwood is the calmer, more mature and levelheaded of the two, while Aideen has a fiery and more outspoken personality that her older brother often needs to rein in. The Lono twins in Alola, Frax and Velvet, invert it: Frax, the male twin, is a Keet who is a bit Book Dumb and tends to jump headfirst into situations, while his sister Velvet is more responsible, does better at school and tends to think things through. This even extends to their Pokémon, as Frax is noted to have befriended most of his mons with ease and they just followed him, while Velvet had to catch hers through battles the traditional way. |

Tsukihime: Kohaku and Hisui. One is carefree, energetic, and always smiling, while the other is silent with little expression. It's also odd when you consider that they switched places from when they were children: Hisui was originally carefree and cheerful, while Kohaku was shy and untalkative. Then they got older and things got worse for them (specially Kohaku), so Hisui buried her emotions to help Kohaku stay stable while Kohaku hid her very darkened True Self behind a facade of happiness. Averted in Flower of Thanatos side story, where Kohaku and Hisui synchronize to the point where they are no longer themselves and their personalities fuse into one. Becoming Single-Minded Twins instead. |

Didi is a polite perky scientist and a Lipstick Lesbian who acts as The Super Ego. They're a weird example though, in that Didi slowly budded off Gogo which would make her some kind of clone/daughter, but they see each other as twins and have a more sisterly relationship. | |

Bethany is a petite mage and is gentle, sweet-natured, and friendly to everyone. They even have opposite feelings toward their elder sibling; each companion in the game has a relationship meter, and Bethany's starts with a heavy tilt toward the friendship end, while Carver's starts with a heavy tilt toward the rivalry end. The game itself also draws attention to their Red Oni, Blue Oni personalities, as the background of Carver's icon is a reddish-brown while Bethany's is a vivid blue. | |

As time goes on, he shows a much kinder side. His Digimon forms are wolf-based and his element is light. Meanwhile, his twin is similar in appearance but far more soft-spoken and willing to be in the group once he's de-brainwashed. And, his Digimon forms are lion-based and his element is darkness (Dark Is Not Evil). | |

The Star Wars Legends show Luke having trouble teaching Leia to be a Jedi. What worked for him (he has a lot of Jedi qualities) won't work for her. Hot temper is not something a Jedi knight ought to have. It also doesn't help that she's pregnant while trying to learn, and is constantly busy with politics. In the reboot, Luke ended up training Leia to become a Jedi without much trouble as seen in The Rise of Skywalker. | |

Sikue and Tatsuma in Beyond Bloom, are not identical, but were "born" together. They are polar opposites in many ways, one being loud and aggressive, while the other is quiet and gentle. This is especially emphasized in their magic. Tatsuma has offensive abilities while Sikue's are defensive. | |

High School Star Musical has two pairs - Nayuki's younger sisters, Tsumugi and Yuki, are more typical and aren't major characters. But separated twins Tsubasa and Itsuki - who aren't even known to be related - have a large part of their conflict revolve around how they've developed into this since being separated. | |

Spirited Away: The identical twin sisters Yubaba and Zeniba. Yubaba is selfish and materialistic; Zeniba, while vengeful at first, turns out to be kindly and humble. It's worth noting, though, that the sisters aren't really polar opposites — Yubaba has an introspective side (musing about the nature of humanity and its greed), treats her workers relatively well, so long as they work hard, and genuinely loves her son Boh to the point of spoiling him. Similarly, Zeniba can be just as nasty as her sister — one of her first lines to Chihiro is a threat to rip the girl's tongue out if she says anything about her presence. Miyazaki seems to be deconstructing this trope with the characters, pointing out that unlike fairy tale villains, most adults are both bad and good, with positive and negative qualities alike (a fact suggested by Chihiro eventually calling both sisters "Granny"). | |

Patricia and Piper Williamson from House of Anubis. Patricia is the bold, Tomboyish, defiant and rude one; Piper is highly talented in piano, very sweet and polite, and much less inclined to make big moves out of fear of failure than her Determinator sister is. It's pretty obvious when you compare their crushes - Patricia likes Jerk with a Heart of Gold Eddie, while Piper likes the Nice Guy Class Clown Alfie. | |

Durarara!!: Mairu and Kururi Orihara actually invoke and subvert this. They actually flipped a coin to decide which girl got which trait. Strangely enough, their roles (Mairu as the Genki Girl and Kururi as The Quiet One) switch when they're on the internet. Despite how differently they act, the subversion lies in the fact that they don't actually consider themselves as separate people. | |

In Aruosumente, the twins Lante and Dante. Lante is cheerful, outgoing, chatty, frilly, and can't fight to save his life. Dante, on the other hand, barely talks at all, keeps to himself, cares only about Lante, and is the best fighter in the kingdom, to the point of being called a beast. Interestingly, it's Lante who may be a schemer and capable liar, while Dante is very straightforward. | |

Mortimer is calculating, self-serving, and perfectly willing to use or hurt other people to get what he wants. Dorian is honest, loyal, strives to do the right thing, and will defend those closest to him to the death if need be. | |

Eyeshield 21: The Kongo twins Unsui and Agon. Unsui has a shaved head like a monk (it's sort of a theme at their school) is intensely hard-working, diligent, cautious, a very good athlete and basically a decent guy. But Agon (with a distinctive dreadlock hairstyle) is the series' Jerkass, a Jerk Jock to the extreme (including the womanizing, which apparently started in middle school) who gets away with being a sociopathic thug, slacker, and general all-around asshole because he is a talent seen only once in a hundred years. It's emphasized by the fact that 'A' and 'Un' represent "beginning and end" aka birth and death. | |

Justified as Beef was actually switched at birth with Walky's real twin Sal as part of Mrs. Walkerton's Separated at Birth gambit, Sal and Walky later, after the truth was uncovered, and used to set up some "Not So Different" Remark moments between the two of them. Sal and Walky again in Dumbing of Age despite not being raised apart this time around. |

Therese is a Malkavian, a member of a clan of vampires known for insanity, and her "sister" Jeanette is actually her Split Personality developed to cope up with her father's abuse that cranks up to eleven due of being a Malkavian means worsening one's existing mental health issues.

Saint Seiya has the twin brothers Saga (thoughtful, wise, just until his Superpowered Evil Side kicks in) and Kanon (selfish, scheming, arrogant until he has a Heel–Face Turn.) For major irony, Saga is the Gemini Saint, with Kanon inheriting his position once Saga dies. From the villainous side, the twin gods Hypnos and Thanatos. Sure, they are Creepy Twins on their own, and aside from acting similarly, they also have similar creepy eyes. However, most of the time, they are more of this trope because of their personality, as they are textbook examples of Red Oni, Blue Oni with Thanatos as the red oni and Hypnos as the blue oni. Thanatos has a much shorter fuse than Hypnos ever had, does show more emotion than Hypnos ever does, will jump into the fight if challenged, and underestimated humans in general. Hypnos, however, hates fighting and will seek ways to avoid fighting and calmly analyzes his enemies. This is even more prominent in Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, where they still share similar personality with their classical counterpart, where when they are defeated and sealed, Thanatos continue cursed Pope Sage pettily and furiously when Hypnos accepted his loss calmly and congratulates Hakurei instead. |
