Half sister - only one parent in common
Stepsister - different parents at all (like you mom got married to another man after divorcing with you dad, and that guy has already a daughter)
- English (US)
half sister or half brother means you both have one of the same parents, biologically. Like, same dad but different mums. step-sister or step-brother means the parents got married and joined families together but those children share no dna. example Paul and Sarah have a son called Alec. Stan and Alice have a daughter called Mary. Paul and Alice get married. Alec and Mary are now step brother and sister.
