The term —a portmanteau of brat and sister —has entered informal online discourse to describe a subset of sibling interactions marked by playful yet antagonistic conduct, frequent teasing, and occasional boundary violations. Despite its popularity on social media platforms (e.g., TikTok, Reddit, Instagram), the phenomenon remains undocumented in scholarly literature. This paper offers the first systematic investigation of brattysis by (1) defining the construct, (2) mapping its phenomenology, and (3) examining its relational functions within families of emerging adults (ages 18‑25). Using a grounded‑theory approach, we conducted semi‑structured interviews with 42 participants (21 dyadic sister pairs) recruited from university campuses across three U.S. regions. Data were coded iteratively, yielding a four‑component model: (a) Playful Provocation , (b) Reciprocal Power Play , (c) Affectionate Sabotage , and (d) Negotiated Boundaries . Findings suggest that brattysis serves both as a mechanism for identity negotiation and as a buffer against external stressors, while also posing risks for misinterpretation in non‑familial contexts. Implications for counseling practice, digital media literacy, and future quantitative validation are discussed.
