Circe was a witch/sorceress/nymph or goddess queen of the island Aeaea, to which she was allegedly exhiled after killing her husband. There are various versions of her parenthood; some say she was daughter of Hecate (the crone, goddess of full moon and witchcraft), some say her mother was Perse(oceanid) and her father Helios (god of sun).
In the second version, when Perse is her mother, she has three siblings: Pasiphae, Aeetes, and Perses. Now Medea is the daughter of Aeetes, which makes her Hecate's niece. Medea's biological mother is said to be Idiya, however Medea was allegedly a priestess of Hecate, some say Hecate tutored her, therefore she is often called daughter of Hecate.
Idiya is in other versions called sister of Circe, once again making Medea Circe's niece.
