There are two sisters, close enough in age to have a relatively equal relationship, but light years apart in personality. * The Beautiful Sister: A pretty, extroverted, fashionable popular but unintellectual character. If older (and she usually is), she'll be more mature in "womanly" ways. Can range from smart yet Book Dumb to The Brainless Beauty. Endlessly criticises her sister for her willing social outsiderness. * The Smart Sister: A bookish, explicitly smart character - often Hollywood Homely. Very often a Deadpan Snarker and The Snark Knight. Subject to far less male attention. Endlessly criticises her sister for her willing shallowness.

While it is usually made clear that they love each other, the sisters are constant verbal combatants. Most of the time they find each other incomprehensible. Sometimes they both harbour a secret inferiority complex, which they hide through the constant banter. The smart sister feels unattractive and boring, while the popular sister feels she's not being taken seriously. The sisters may become love rivals, but often they prefer very different types. The smart sister is usually the younger of the two and in many cases more sympathetic, though exceptions (smart older sister, popular younger sister) are fairly common. This is often the result of writers themselves having been the Smart One, though many a reader can relate. A special, female variant of Sibling Rivalry. Cain and Abel can happen when the differences of opinion go really wrong. Can overlap with Different As Night and Day and is a subtrope of Sibling Yin-Yang.
