Although Maria and Lucy Aylmer share a birthday, their looks couldn’t be more different. Lucy has fair skin and straight red hair and Maria has curly black hair and light brown skin.
As Indoor Edition reports, Maria and Lucy are the daughters of Donna, a biracial child of Jamaican and white parents, and Vince, who is white. The couple also have three other children, whose appearance is closer to Maria than to Lucy. Because of this, Lucy says that when she was a child, many people thought she was adopted.
Along with the differences in looks, the two sisters say they also have completely different personalities as well as different fashion styles.
Lucy has a more conservative personality and she also prefers comfortable, casual clothing. Maria, on the other hand, is more than just a social butterfly and her style is more elegant.
Despite their differences, Lucy and Maria love each other and the unique bond they share as twins. While it’s very rare to find twins as different as the Elmer sisters, their story reminds us that we all have more in common than differences.
