Mouse Siblings is the family ship between Mickey Mouse and Felicity Fieldmouse from the Mickey Mouse and Friends fandom.
Canon[]
Mickey Mouse debuted in animation in 1928, while the character who would become his sister Felicity Fieldmouse was introduced in the comic Mickey's Nephews in 1932. Here known simply as "Mrs. Fieldmouse", she brings her sons Morty and Ferdie to Mickey's house and asks him to watch the boys for her. Decades later, Felicity was reintroduced with a new name, a new design, and the clarification that she is Mickey's sister. However, she has only briefly appeared alongside Mickey in any of her few stories, usually just long enough to hand over Mickey's nephews into his care while she attends to some other task.
Unlike various other relatives of prominent Mickey Mouse and Friends characters, Felicity has yet to make the leap from comics to animation. Notably, she failed to appear in Duck the Halls: A Mickey Mouse Christmas Special, which introduced several other relatives of Mickey's. The Scariest Story Ever: A Mickey Mouse Halloween Spooktacular, which featured Morty and Ferdie, was also devoid of an appearance by Felicity. She was also absent from Disney Golf, a sports game in which Mickey and Morty appeared as playable characters.
Despite her lack of appearances, it is implied that Felicity and Mickey enjoy a fairly close relationship. She trusts her brother to keep an eye on her rambunctious sons, and Mickey in turn is willing to act as caretaker for the boys at least for short periods of time. This stands in stark contrast to the relationship between Mickey's friend Donald Duck and his sister Della, the mother of Donald's triplet nephews. Where Donald has been forced to assume full guardianship of his nephews, Felicity has not taken any actions that have forced Mickey into such a role for Morty and Ferdie.
Fanon[]
Owing to Felicity's obscurity and few appearances-none of them animated-her relationship with Mickey hasn't received a great deal of coverage in fan material. The siblings do have their fans, however, and in particular those who would like to see Felicity become a more prominent member of Mickey's supporting cast. Felicity's considerable advantage in height over Mickey-akin to that of his nemesis Mortimer Mouse-is a popular trait in depicting moments between the pair. Though Felicity was introduced later, some fans theorize that she is meant to be the elder of the two siblings.
There are 4 works tagged for the relationship on AO3, as well as several additional works in which both appear but their relationship isn't tagged. Among these are works in which Felicity is brought into the larger world of Mickey Mouse and Friends affiliated fandoms, such as DuckTales and Epic Mickey. Various pieces of fanart also depict the two siblings together, though often in the company of additional characters. However, even these group pieces tend to involve the siblings' relationship, which is generally depicted as a positive one.
