Cera's siblings are very minor characters in The Land Before Time series.

Her original nestmates only definitely appear in the original The Land Before Time, although her paternal half-sister Tricia, introduced in The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers, is a frequently-seen character in the television series.

Older siblings

Topps, Cera's belligerent father, and his first mate are seen to have several children in the first film. However, when he and Cera are reunited in the Great Valley at the end of the film, his wife and all of Cera's siblings are absent. This suggests that they died on the herds' journey to the Great Valley. Still, the existence of Dinah and Dana - Cera's niece and nephew and Topps's grandchildren - implies that at least one of Cera's older siblings survived to adulthood. However Cera's parents (whether her mother or father) must have had a earlier relationship before the start of the franchise. This is highly supported by two full-grown threehorns (one resembling Cera) appearing near the end of the film to close the opening to the Mysterious Beyond in the second film. Topps' family's fate remains unknown.

Dinah and Dana have only appeared in The Secret of Saurus Rock, which implies that this older sibling of Cera's, and his or her family, live outside the Great Valley. They occasionally visit their relatives within.

Nestmate siblings

Cera's nestmates

Cera is seen to have nestmate siblings at her hatching; they seem to be mostly sisters, according to Cera. They, along with their mother, rarely - if ever - appear following the first movie. Some fans believe them to have died some time after the Great Earthshake, though there is no solid evidence confirming nor denying this.

Two of Cera's sisters may appear in The Great Valley Adventure, as well as in The Land Before Time III: Time of the Great Giving, in which two baby Threehorns, colored same as Cera, are seen playing near Topps in the pool beneath the Thundering Falls. It is unclear whether or not they are actually related to Cera.

Younger siblings

Baby Threehorns seen in first two sequels

The death theory is heavily disputed by the end scene (the Peaceful Valley reprise) of The Great Valley Adventure, in which, along with Ducky's younger siblings and one of Petrie's younger siblings hatching, three little Threehorns run up behind Cera and grab her in play. Two Threehorns identical to these also appear in The Time of the Great Giving when Littlefoot is at the Thundering Falls. This could suggest that Cera's mother does make it to the Valley alive and has more children with Topps before her definite disappearance. However, it is still fully possible that these little Threehorns are completely unrelated to Cera. It is nearly impossible to draw any conclusions about the fate of Cera's family, as the early sequels are not clear on this.

Tricia

Tricia is a young dark pink threehorn. She is the daughter of Tria and Topps and the paternal half-sister of Cera. Her first appearance is in The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers.
