okay here's the thing, parents aren't perfect. i do know of someone with the similar situation as you - treating his sister better than him. since i don't know your mom or anything, let's just assume you are correct first okay?
1) don't wish you're someone else. i assume you want to get rid of this feeling right? people get envious because they themselves are insecure of the other person. so what if your sister is better at something? you have your own talents, skills and gifts... use them!
2) even if your mother has a favorite, i'm sure she still loves you. continue to be a loving daughter to your mom. maybe she just spoiled the other. my mom baby-ed my younger brother. i did felt jealous of him growing up. but at the end of the day this made me and independent person. i do love my brother to pieces. but his attitude is more of dependent. he asks opinions.... even for something he's gonna buy. i have the stronger personality.
3) okay let's drop the assumption now, maybe you're mom is just MORE concerned of your sibling because she's more "weak"? coz that's how my mom was later on with me and my brother. she just feels i could take care of myself more.
- i suggest you write her a letter first. it's the safest way to discuss things because you get to filter the bad stuff and express all that you feel. and then have a talk about your letter. atleast she would be aware of your feelings. goodluck!

You dont need to understand also "why" some questions are unanswers and the bonding is always two way may be your mom got attrracted towards your sis more than you but still she is your mom and she has the same feeling for you too i am sure.
You just be her daughter in your way and it can also be possiable that she thinks your sis loves her more than you, everybody has its own parameters to measure love and affection so just be happy. Dont over react or feel jealous thnigs will turn towards your end too and you will also get your share of love they way you wanted.

This happens with all of us. My mother treats my elder sister better than anybody in house. She doesn't even talks with anybody in home properly. I can't judge why she is doing all this. May be she is ignoring the remaining family a lot and it's time for her to turn back to us too.
