Fan Casting Big Sibling Instinct(Big Brother Instinct, Big Sister Instinct)

Role added by connieblackwood on August 5, 2022

Make Suggestion

Description of Big Sibling Instinct (Big Brother Instinct, Big Sister Instinct):

One very common way to establish that a male (or increasingly frequently female) character is a Nice Guy (even if the niceness is hidden under a gruff exterior) is to give them an instinctive desire to be a respectable big sibling to smaller or younger characters (in more cases female than male). These other characters may be truly younger siblings, or they may be completely unrelated, or even older, but the feeling is the same: to act as their protector.
