little sisters
Smaller female siblings
Little sisters are younger female siblings.
The term extends to any junior female in a quasi-familial relationship: sorority pledges have big sisters who mentor them, and organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters pair adult volunteers with children.
My little sister always borrowed my clothes without asking.
The diminutive suggests both affection and a power imbalance—little sisters are watched over, teased, and protected.
