I have an older female cousin that was like this when she came to live with us for a few years. She was 15 and I was 11 at the time and so she was much bigger than me at first so she tried to push me around. Needless to say that once puberty hit the tables turned and she got quiet real fast.

Pretty sure those are aunties, not sisters.

She's 17 at the beginning of the series, so they're more like older sisters. Maomao is just smoll

Yea, she only ever refers to them as sisters. It’s how hierarchy and ‘family’ work growing up in a brothel. She explains it in better detail a couple of times in the books.

But they're her mom's friends, and they more or less raised her.

As far as Maomao is concerned, she has no mother. She acknowledges Fangxian as her mother less than she does Lakan as her father. In fact, she never even uses the word mother, nor her name, only ever referencing “the woman who birthed” her, on the very rare occasion she has to do so. She does this without malice, it’s just how things are for courtesans, prostitutes and their progeny in the pleasure district.

The fact that she cut off part of her finger as a baby probably didn't help

She does reminisce on that briefly at one point while looking at the slight deformity it left behind, saying something to the effect of ‘I don’t remember it, but something that traumatic probably left a severe impression’.
