MMC is one of triplets but how does he refer to his sister triplets? For example, a twin will say, This is my twin, So-and-so. What does a triplet say? This is my triplet?

yeah, that's usually what they say. Or my friend says "this is my sister, we're triplets."

Probably, 'This is my sister/These are my sisters' and if elaboration is required, maybe add, 'We're triplets.'

Probably as his sisters.
If his sisters are identical/look very similar, depending on his personality, he would probably clarify that they're triplets, since they might be often referred to as "the twins" and that could annoy him.
----------My friend is a triplet with two near-identical brothers (apparently they're actually not identical) who are always called "the twins" and it drives her mad.

I've known two sets of triplets, one of them very, very well, and they would say, "This is one of my triplet sisters."
