Meghan & Catherynne Babbit
Age: 20
Born in New Zeeland and raised by a single mother from birth (I am thinking their father abandoned them before the twins were even born, maybe even without knowing about them) Meghan and Catherynne grew up in a lower middle class suburb of Wellington where Meghan studied art at Victoria University and Catherynne aspired to become a writer while working as a bartender at a local nightclub until an unexpected inheritance forced them and their family to move to some dusty old manor house in Suffolk, UK, basically the other end of the world.
Meghan is older than Catherynne by almost 15 minutes and still enjoys reminding her twin sister about this by often referring to her as Li'l Sis, which Catherynne of course hates, especially since the minute difference in age is so much more clearly marked by them being born on different sides of midnight between May 30th and June 1st. Not only are they not born on the same day but they are not even born the same month. When they were younger though Meghan used to tease Catherynne as if they were not even born the same year. This teasing aside the twins were very close, in ways that only twins are, at times they even seemed to share thoughts.
Meghan and Catherynne are what is, in layman's terms, called mirror twins which means that the birthmark on Meghan's right inner thigh is mirrored on Catherynne's left inner thigh, Meghan is left handed while Catherynne is right handed. Meghan (while not a lesbian) prefers girl and Catherynne (while not straight) prefer boys.

@Dana Lane The spelling of my twins' names is supposed to indicate that their mother is aware of her own and thus the twins' Saxon heritage.)
