Fact: Ira is one of a pair of non-identical twins, although - apart from their sexes being different - you would barely know it to look at them. Tsipora here is his sister, though she goes by Payle in the family and Sybil to gentile crowds.
Despite looking very similar (Payle is remarkably tall for a woman of her era), the twins are pretty different in terms of personality. Payle is the elder twin and you can tell! She is confident and assertive to the point of being forceful, gregarious, whip clever and generally mad at her brother for hogging the spotlight. Anything he can do, she could do better, if only her society allowed her. In all these ways, she takes after their father much more profoundly than Ira does (and while Isaac would never play favourites, he gets along a little better socially with Payle...).
As she matures, Payle settles into her societal role a little easier than Ira, even with this rebellious streak. She marries young to a master luthier, Gabriel Frischmann, and while they take a while to get to it, they have five kids together and counting. Her intellect and creativity is funneled into writing and illustrating children's books, sweet domestic stories about anthropomorphic animals in the vein of Beatrix Potter. She also plays piano and chess excellently.
There's little chance of me being able to find it all these years later, but this is based on a genuine fashion plate of the 1850s.
Never Never
