Even when the father is the father of both fraternal twins, one can still be darker than the other.

I've heard a story of fraternal twin sisters with a Jamaican father and an Irish mother. One was black, the other white. So yeah, it's possible.

Maybe I'm imagining it because I already know they are twins, but their noses do look similar to me

So much similarity though. I mean their smiles are identical.

This is epic on a DNA level.

Uh, the mother was obviously white.

But she was the biological mother of both kids, so both kids were half Irish, half Jamaican.
