[[File:22 - episode IV-IV - problem child snapshot 04.58 -2015.06.22 12.41.02-.jpg|thumbnail|The Chiester Sisters as they appear in the [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni (anime)|anime]]. From left to right: [[Chiester 410]], [[Chiester 00]] and [[Chiester 45]].]]
The '''Chiester Sisters Imperial Guard Corps''', also known as the '''Pendragon Memorial Troops''', {{nihongo|'''Chiester Sisters'''|チエスター姉妹|Chiesutā Shimai}}, or erroneously translated as the '''Siesta Sisters''', are a collection of bunnygirl furniture in {{umineko}}. Their main weapon is a bow of light that shoots a tracking beam that can kill a target instantly. [[Dlanor A. Knox]] investigates the corps and discovers that their real world counterparts are [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]]'s [[Winchester rifles]]. The defective rifle is represented by [[Chiester 556]]. In {{twilight}}, it is revealed that the Chiester Sisters' original vessels were actually Maria's ceramic bunnies, one of which Rosa destroyed.

== Trivia ==
*The name "Chiester" is a corruption of the word "Winchester".
*The erroneous translation of "Siesta Sisters" by [[Witch Hunt]] caused the Chiester Sisters to be known as the Siesta Sisters to the English speaking audience. "Siesta Sisters" was thought to be the correct translation until Chiester 410's appearance in {{ougon}}
*In {{dawn}}, several unseen members of the Chiester Sisters are mentioned, each of which represent different guns, keeping with the notion that the depicted Chiester Sisters are incarnations of Kinzo's Winchester rifles. Chiester 127 is described as being able to pulverize a human target at 2 kilometers, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Deck gun|5-inch deck gun]] which has a 127mm shell and a range well over 2 kilometers. Chiester 20 is described as having a fire rate of 6,000 rounds per minute, likely referring to the [[Wikipedia:M61 Vulcan|M61 Vulcan Gatling Gun]] which fires a 20mm round and has a fire rate of 6,000 rounds per minute.
*The banners the Chiester Sisters have on their left arms resemble the flag for Iceland ({{flagicon|Iceland}}), however, their firing codes are written in Greek.
