While the sight of identical twins makes many of us do a double-take, a set of twins in Gloucester, England, stands out for a different reason. In this story from 2015, 20-year-old sisters Lucy and Maria have gained some fame for their striking differences—Lucy is fair-skinned with straight red hair, while Maria has black curly hair and a light-brown complexion.

Although Maria and Lucy Aylmer share a birthday, their appearance could not be more different. Lucy is fair-skinned with straight red hair and Maria has curly black hair and light-brown skin. As reported by Inside Edition, Maria and Lucy are the daughters of Donna, who has one black and one white parent, and Vince, who is white. The couple also has three other kids, whose appearance is closer to Maria’s than Lucy’s. For this reason, Lucy says that when she was a child, many people assumed that she was adopted.

In addition to their differences in appearance, the sisters say they also have quite different personalities as well as different fashion styles. Lucy has a more reserved personality, and she also prefers more laid-back and casual attire. Maria, on the other hand, is more of a social butterfly and her style is a little dressier.
Despite their differences, Lucy and Maria love each other and the unique bond they share as twins. While it is very rare to find twins as different as the Aylmer sisters, their story reminds us that we all have much more in common than we are different.
