stepsisters
Parent's spouse's daughters
Stepsisters are daughters of one's stepparent from a previous relationship—not related by blood, but connected through a parent's marriage.
The term often carries fairy-tale baggage from Cinderella's cruel stepsisters, though real stepsisters may be close or distant like any siblings: She and her stepsisters grew up in the same house.
