21 fictional sisters everyone wishes they had

It is not out of the ordinary to build a family in one’s head by picking favorite characters from TV and film. Who hasn’t picked a fatherly figure from the TGIF lineup, dreamed of having a brother like Thor, or wondered what it’d be like if their mom were like the ones on TV? What about sisters, though? 

If people could adopt a sister, who would they choose? An animated one who’s way into horses, someone older who kept things in line, or one who could always help with fashion? Perhaps all of the above and then some as we take a look at the best fictional sisters out there.
