the.com/kindred spirit

means A person who shares your outlook, sensibilities, or passions so naturally that you feel instantly understood by them.

from Built from two old, sturdy words: 'kin,' tracing back to Old English 'cynn' meaning family or race, and 'spirit,' from Latin 'spiritus' meaning breath or soul. Together they imply a bond deeper than blood — a kinship of the soul rather than the family tree. The phrase itself became especially beloved after being woven through literature (most famously in 'Anne of Green Gables'), which cemented 'kindred spirit' in everyday speech as the term for a soul-match found by luck rather than lineage.
