In the first five series, the two of them respected each other very much and were very well-behaved, but as of the sixth series, they have a sibling rivalry with each other and are not as well-behaved as they used to. Originally, Sarah and James were very similar to each other, but later series developed them to having their own personalities. Sarah developed into being very outgoing, way more tough and braver than James and being a bit of a tomboy. While James developed into being sensitive and cautious, as he is often scared of many things and lacks confidence.
