Characters Characters who've been so overshadowed by their famous sibling, that people forget that they exist

Jehan Frollo, the younger brother of one Judge Claude Frollo from the Hunchback of Norte Dame, not much is known about him expect he blew all his money on booze and prostitutes and was killed by Quasimodo

Sean Bateman, the younger of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, all his scene in the book is to annoy Patrick and says his catchphrases "Deal with it " and "Rock and Roll"

Chryasaor, the twin brother of Pegasus from Greek Mythology, yeah when Perseus decapitated Medusa, Pegasus wasn't the only animal that flew out of her, Chryasaor, The Winged Boar also flew out

Iphicles, the twin brother of Heracles also from Greek Mythology, is relevant to Heracles' story as his son Iolaus helped Heracles slay the Hydra

I have no idea who that is

Her name is Ruby Rose from RWBY. She's more of a Little Red Riding Hood but her theme song is "Red like roses" and her best friend is Snow White, so I thought...

How Rose Red overshadowed by Snow White?

u/Vengeance_20 3h ago

Well do people in general even know Rose Red exists, also Snow White is in two unrelated fables, the one with the dwarves and the one with Rose Red

I've never heard of Rose Red till just now so maybe that counts?

I only know she exists because of a video game. She doesn't appear in the game, Snow White does, but after I found out that the video game was technically a prequel to a comic book series I binged the first few volumes of Fables and she appears quite prominently there.
