      No, not at all. Neither of them shared a parent. They’re technically cousins, but the amount of generations between Arwen’s uncle and Aragorn make the familial link not matter at all

        It kind of does, though… From Aragorn’s perspective, at least

        Stepsister, Aragorn was raised in Rivendel and Elrond was closest to a father figure

          Raised by and adopted by are two different things. You can raise someone and not have them considered as your child. Not to mention the whole definition of a step sibling is sharing one parent, adoption doesn’t make you a step sibling

        Doesn’t change the fact they had the same (step)father, and Aragorn respected Elrond immensely. Also, pardon the Freudianism, but it’s kinda weird how the idealized finale to Béren and Luthien’s tale of love featured quasi-incest in Tolkien’s mind.

          They have been adults the whole time they’ve known each other. Theres no reason for them to view each other as siblings in any way shape or form.
