half sister
This term specifies a biological relationship where only one parent is shared. It is a precise kinship term used to distinguish this relationship from a full sister, with whom both parents are shared, or a stepsister, with whom no biological parents are shared but a familial bond exists through the marriage of parents.
In social contexts, the term is descriptive and neutral, though in casual conversation, many people omit the modifier "half" and simply use "sister" to emphasize the emotional bond over the genetic technicality.
