Am I wrong for being upset about this?

Me and my little sister have shared a room for 10 years. I've always wanted my own room but I know that's probably never going to happen any time soon. It's winter now and extremely cold outside. Our room is freezing and she said we can't have a heater in our room because then she'll be hot. Everyone has told me to just wear a onesie and some socks but I'm still angry. I know when you have a roommate you need to compromise but I'm tired of compromising. What do you guys think

Is there any space which you could convert to your own little room? Even a walk in closet. My cousin used a walk in closet as his room until he was 18.

An attic, a basement ( even if you have to share the space with storage item)

If not you need to compromise which does not mean only giving in. If its cold one night she can have no heat but the next night that it is cold you can turn on heat.
Buy a mini space heater. The really small ones plug in like a night light and cost less than 20$ and honestly they only heat up a few feet in front of them. I have one teeny tiny one and one medium one that sits on the floor but the medium one was about 40$ and its capable of somewhat heating a whole room or at least taking the chill off.
