The Ashford "Twins" and Patterson Creed

VIVICA AND VIVIAN ASHFORD

This pair are not twins, as such; one of them was abducted by an insane mage and cloned as a being of the opposite gender—they share the same memories, so neither is sure which is the original. They use their uncanny synchronicity to bewilder their foes.
