The final match of our March Madness tournament closed this morning, and our readers voted on their favorite sisters in geek culture. The tournament came down to Nani & Lilo from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch against Lin & Suyin Beifong from The Legend of Korra.

When I saw the matchup, I was sure the metalbending warrior Beifongs would win for certain. But our readers told us what they wanted.

Nani & Lilo’s sisterly bond kept them alive through every round of this year’s tournament.  In the movie, it’s clear how much the sisters love one another, even when they fight. Nani is willing to do anything she can to keep her sister at her side, and she encourages Lilo no matter what.

We shouldn’t be surprised the strong, loving bond between these sisters won the hearts of all our readers — their love was one of the first things we wrote about.

Were Nani & Lilo your pick this year?
