She isn't an apathetic no-care like Aoi. I haven't read the light novel (I usually don't read them I'm trying so hard to read Slayers),but I will say this I blame Shinoa's father. I mean hear you have all these half brothers and sisters who are expected to automatically get along. I mean how would you feel if your Father didn't  stay loyal or treasured to one woman and they didn't mean much to him and you question who's the favorite among you or who's the most hated. It's not Mahiru' fault for this mess if anything that's her way of coping with a half sister being one of her half siblings. They may not get along the best but there is definitely some closeness in their behavior. I'm sure they would have gotten along better if Mahiru still lived but that can't happen. There doesn't seem to be hate but awkwardness. Plus Shinoa and Mahiru both are poker faced characters. Which I find interesting because Yuu is the more emotionally expressive one and Shinoa Stoic. Which stereotypically the male would be more stoic and the female emotionally expressive.
