My "evil" step-sister
I'm 16/f and I am adopted.
Well before I was adopted, my mom had three other girls. And now two of them are living back in the house and I swear the youngest of the three is determined to be mommy's little girl again. Any chances of me looking bad she exploits it. Even when my great-grandmother died the youngest told my mom that I was faking my grief and I was sent back to school with a slap. My mom for some reason always listens to those three and I'm about to lose it. How do I "fight back"? It's just hard to stand there watching your mom be used and you get heat every day.
Thanks,
Annoyed

Fighting will make it worse.
I have three sisters too and fighting ALWAYS makes it worse.
The response to your sisters unfair allegations is "No, that isn't right. That isn't what I'm feeling/doing/saying at all." The calmer you can stay while you explain yourself, the more difficult it will be for your mother, or your little sister to become hysterical and blow things out of purportion.
The child is going through a brat phrase, it you indulge it and fight with her (it's not just looking better then you she wants, she really wants the attention, good or bad) you'll be creating a permenant brat.
Remember your mom is probably hurting too, and trying to keep her 'new' girls happy in ther new home. Sympathize with that a little bit and maybe even talk with her about how she feels having her other girls back. If you mother sees that you are welcoming and sensitive to her needs and the other girls, she will be less likely to believe them when the bitch and moan.
You might even try saying something as simple as this to her "My sisters don't like me, what should I do?"
It's all about how you phrase the problem. Explain the hurt and the love you have for the people around you, and not the annoyance. You'll get further that way with your mother.

there's nothing you can really do about it. You can
1. ignore her and eventually she'll get tired of it and stop
or
2. revenge
I wouldn't suggest number 2 because it could get pretty bad. its like a war, I tell ya. It will never stop. Then one time, someone will do something very bad and will regret it in the future. You could also get in trouble with your mom.
Oh wait, there's actually one thing you CAN do. Talk to your mom about it. Preferably when the stepsisters aren't around. Just talk to your mom and tell her the truth. Tell her that she's just making those things up and trying to get you in trouble. Tell her that you mean't no harm in anything.
I wish you the best of luck. I hope I helped!
