Younger brother and younger-still sister
Brother: bit of a twerp, tries to show off in front of friends (I mock him for it in front of them, he tries to argue back and it usually ends up with the friend taking my side), very hostile when provoked, likes solving his problems with his fists (unfortunately, though he is a black belt in Tae Kwan Do and a rugby player, Rules of the Older Brother means I win fights, all the time). Very easily aggravated, very poor sense of humour. Likes talking about sport and sport news constantly. Has very thick friends
(Actually, his friends are typical for teenagers, but my parents have apparantly been spoilt by the polite, witty and intellegent intellectual/geek friends I bring home, and so they view them as meatheads, frankly)
Sister: very teenagery, despite being JUST into secondary school. All the connotations that brings, such as bitchy moods, brain-dead moments, obsession with fashion and friends, lots of stupid shoes, lots of makeup and no idea how to use it, tries to fit in with everyone, talks like a stereotypical Californian Dumb Blonde. Quite piggy, snacks a lot and steals food. Also fairly lazy
Both of them have installed a weird sense of communism about the house. Everyone does an equal number of jobs around the house (siblings do, I mean). Fair enough, right? But they define any task as "A Job". Therefore, if I take the dog out in the pouring rain and get sodden AND hang up the washing, all they have to do is put away the plates and feed the Guiena Pigs (takes about 30 seconds), and we're apparantly equal
If I had to give genuine flaws to their characters that didn't revolve around their teenager attitudes and less-developed minds than me (By which I mean I know more...fact. It's just true, I'm a wannabe intellectual)
Brother
-No sense of humour (I mean GODDAMN is he unfunny, everyone says it about him)
-Doesn't think before he jumps. Sometimes it's admirable, others it just seems to be stupid
-Talks too much about sport to anyone with ears and thinks they'll find it just as engrossing to the extent he does
-Talks at wide tangents. Ask him a simple question, he'll backtrack about a week and work forwards with every detail explained pointlessly and often loosing the trail
Sister
-Not as bright as me and my brother. It's not the fact she's younger, she genuinely has no interest in information of any kind
-Greedy
-Younger Sibling syndrome : Acts babyish (towkeeng funeee!) for attention and sympathy
