sisterly
Warm, like siblings
Sisterly describes the affection, support, or bond characteristic of sisters.
It suggests warmth and loyalty between women who share a close relationship, whether biological siblings or not: She gave me some sisterly advice.
The word often implies protectiveness or gentle teasing: a sisterly hug, sisterly rivalry.
