Reflexive: A has showered with A.
Symmetric: A has showered with B implies B has showered with A.
Transitive: A has showered with B and B has showered with C does NOT imply that A has showered with C.

Reflexive: A is NOT a full sibling to A.
Symmetric: A is a full sibling to B implies B is a full sibling to A.
Transitive: A is a full sibling to B and B is a full sibling to C implies that A is a full sibling to C.
