Ismene, her sister
Polynecies and Etecles, thoses are her brothers and her sister is Ismene.
That they love their family is the way in which Antigone and Ismene are the same in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban sister princesses Antigone and Ismene both care about the family into which they are born. But Antigone is older and more willing to give physical and verbal proof of her feelings. In contrast is Ismene, who is young, more easily cowed and less willing to express and defend her familial loyalty until she is backed up against the wall and faces the prospect of being alone with her fears and timidity.
Jonas' sister is named Lily and she was assigned to Jonas' family.
At first, Ismene doesn't want to help her sister Antigone bury their brother Polyneices. But she changes her mind once Antigone is caught in the act. Ismene wants to support her sister, even die with her, and give honor to the dead. Additionally, she says that life without the living presence of Antigone holds no charm.
