They are the youngest members of the Otis family. They study at Eton, an English boarding school. We are told that The Star and Stripes—a reference to the American flag—is the nickname for the twin brothers. They prove to be the Canterville ghosts nemeses. They attack him with pillows and pea shooters. They dress up as ghosts to scare him off his wits. They set trip wires and butter slides in different parts of the house to make him fall.

The twins in the Otis family are unafraid and bold. They throw a pillow at the ghost when he growls at them, and they shoot at him with a pea-shooter. The twins are tricksters and devise a ghost made out of a sheet to scare the ghost. The ghost had heard them laugh earlier, so it's clear that the twins delight in trying to frighten the ghost and play tricks on him. They also place strings across the hallway to trip the ghost, and they place a jug above the doorway so that it falls on him and drenches him. In response, the twins chuckle. In response, the ghost becomes more afraid of the twins than they are of him. They are clearly mischievous, and they do not scare easily.

The twins were not afraid of the ghost and treated as a toy they use to disturb him with new new tricks like some times they use to dress up like ghost and scare him, stand behind door and wait for him when he enters the room they screams just behind his ears to scare him, etc.

In "The Canterville Ghost," the twins are the youngest children of Mr and Mrs Otis. Nicknamed 'The Stars and the Stripes,' they quickly become the nemesis of Sir Simon, the Canterville ghost, because they delight in playing tricks on him. This occurs first in Chapter Two when the twins throw pillows at the ghost as he runs down the corridor to escape Mr Otis. Later, in Chapter Three, for example, the twins humiliate the ghost by using their pea-shooters on him. In another scene, in Chapter Four, the twins outwit him by constructing a slide from the entrance of the Tapestry Chamber to the top of the staircase. Unaware of its presence, the ghost slips on the slide and injures himself in the process.
But the twins have a sentimental side, too. When Virginia goes missing in Chapter Six, for instance, the twins join the search to find her. At dinner, they are described as being "awestruck" and "subdued" by her absence because of their fondness for her. So, while their love of mischief and playing jokes on the ghost is at the forefront of their portrayal, it is important to remember that they are affectionate and caring characters, too. They are overjoyed at their sister's sudden reappearance, for example, and, together, they all attend the ghost's funeral, a serious affair with no mention of tricks or pea-shooters.
