The replacement sibling trope involves a character who feels pressured to live up to the legacy of a deceased or absent sibling. This pressure can come from family or society, and it often leads the character to struggle with their own identity. They might feel overshadowed by the memory of the sibling they're "replacing," causing emotional and psychological challenges. This trope explores themes of self-worth, individuality, and the pressure to conform to someone else's legacy, highlighting the complexities of familial relationships and the impact of loss on personal identity.
