Like this but way more insane: [Younger uncles and
aunts](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/27300/younger-uncles-and-
aunts) (But I believe this sorta happened in [House of the
Dragon](https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/House_Targaryen/House_of_the_Dragon#Relationships),
prequel / spin-off of of Game of Thrones)

Let's say widow Viserys Tanaka had daughter Rhaenyra Tanaka and later
remarries Alicent Hajime. If Rhaenyra is older (or even about the same age)
than Alicent, then how might they address each other?

I have a feeling based on Spy x Family that the step-parent might address the
step-child as 1st name-san [Why does Yor call Anya as Anya-san instead of
Anya-chan?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/67013/why-does-yor-call-
anya-as-anya-san-instead-of-anya-chan)

But I guess what would be more important is how far apart in age they are,
their relationship prior to the wedding, etc over their legal relationship.

question
word-choice words culture kinship-terms
How would you address a younger step-parent / older step-child?
I guess such a situation is too rare to be discussed in general, but the
following is likely.

  * If Rhaenyra and Alicent has been friends, they would continue to call each other in the way they have been using.

  * If Rhaenyra and Alicent know each other by the marriage, they would call each other like classmates. Use of san or first name alone is just personal choice depending on how they feel about each other.

* * *

If the House is sort of aristocratic that puts a lot of importance on
formalites, Rhaenyra may call Alicent _okaasama_ , but it is just as unlikely
as R. calling A. _Mother_ in English.

(Like Maki Shijo calling Kaguya as _obasama_ in _Kaguya-sama_ , it may be
possible in extremely rich families, but I have simply no idea)
