soul sister
Female spiritual twin
A soul sister is a woman with whom one shares a deep spiritual or emotional bond—a kindred spirit who understands you profoundly: She's not my biological sister, but she's my soul sister.
The term emerged from Black American culture, where it also meant a Black woman, expressing solidarity and shared identity.
Now widely used for any close female friendship that feels like family.
