:Clothing:
About what they wore everyday, well, it's not being decided by them. They always had to appear appropriately, which is why the clothes were chosen without their consent. Which is why you'll see both wearing dark coats with light waistcoats and trousers, or colored coats with neutral waistcoats and trousers. For neckwear, it's the cravat, a long strip of white linen, frequently starched. The clothes weren't comfortable, but weren't uncomfortable either so they stuck with it. Ernest especially, is very picky with Shoes he wears though. He preferred Hessian boots, which feature a high, notched front, a dip in back, and colored trim along the upper edge rather than its variation.
:Distinguish Marking:
Bushier eyebrows and better skin than his twin. Also his teeth are a fraction snagglier.
:Impression:
Unlike many in the same social standing as him, he leaves a rather gentle and sympathic impression, even rather amusant and thoughtful at first encounter and also afterwards. Owning a charming smile, Ernest is a wanted man among the rich men daughters and is said to be more handsome than his twin. More like an idol you admire from afar.

Personality
Gentle || Soft-spoken || Sensitive || Polite || Kind || Passionate || Slow || Reserved || Secretive || Stubborn
What can I say? Ernest is a gentle, soft-spoken gentleman who does little to none rude actions, especially not towards a woman. Respectful towards the opposite gender, treat them like a fragile piece of beautiful glass, it isn't such a wondrous thing of him to be popular among them. Empathic and very kind, he can stand by at any situation, happy or sad, without hurting anyone with his words. He just knows exactly what to say and what not by nature and therefore he easily stricks himself into conversation with prior to that strangers. Ernest owns that kind of soothing and reassuring manner to speak and behave, without letting anyone misunderstand him in a way it might hurt his reputation. Very polite, without a reason to be pushy or even anything unpleasant, he is well accepted in his circles and highly seen in his young age. He is given credits to more, than he actually deserved, even gives off an intelligent and knowledgable feeling to him, which he actually doesn't possess. In the section of intelligence, he is clearly inferior to his older twin. And especially that is how he is seen.
He is actually very concerned of how others might see him, very careful when telling others about himself. It is the thought of not wanting to disappoint that driven him to his reserved and secretive individual who'll do anything if it means to protect their family's name. As how it goes, it's due to Ernest having pride in what he does, very purposeful and urges to meet several people's expectations to the fullest. That ambition keeps him strong and let him persevere in an environment he actually detest to the point he would be willing to abandon everything, wealth, social standing, money... everything, if only he can live as how he wants to. But it was impossible, that, he knows rather too well. His other half, his twin brothers was practically born to inherit their family's head throne and becomes the full-fledged representative of the whole family Davies. At least, that's how Ernest sees the situation. Or more exactly wants things to turn out.
Ernest isn't up for such responsibilities as his father has. It isn't like he isn't confident over his qualities, or perhaps it is, it's for him to decide, but Ernest just has other interests, dreams he wants to try to claim. And that is definitely far from business and politics. He just could care less about such things, it doesn't interest him the slightest. For things he doesn't feel any desire upon or the slightest interest, he'll crumble. Start to feel it's nothing for him and gives up even prior to trying it. He is confident in what he believes in, but studying, politics and business isn't meant for him. When he found himself involved in intellectual conversation exactly about the things which doesn't interest him, he'll have difficulties to follow. Not only because he lacks the intellectual for such things, but also due to him being rather slow. As if his brain completely rejects any information coming in which aren't of his interest. In that matter, he can be quite a stubborn brat, to say the facts. That's how he gives off a rather modest feeling.
History
(Occurences around their birth)
Their father, an englishmen, who put much into discipline and obedience as he was also a respected army officer, was soon as he grew old forced to marry and carry on the linage, upon the death of both of his elder brother. He inherited his father's business and therefore needed a son to continue after him. The first marriage was a disaster, as the woman he chose was weak and died at birth, her baby with her. Even his second wife proved to be useless, as by the second child she didn't produce a boy. Disappointed by their incapability, the 60th years old man settled down, refused to try any further as his second wife was again pregnant. At first, the man was suspicious, refused to believe it was his child. But soon he had to withdraw the topic, seeing it as the last chance to continue the Davies linage. Their birth were awaited, both by his mother and his father, but never they thought and intended that two were coming out of the womans womb, showing themselves for the outside world to see. Ernest birth was a little later than his twin brother or to be exact by approximately ten minutes, however, everything was already decided. Ephraim was to inherit his father's business. Their future were already been planned since ahead of time of their existence.
(Childhood)
There was a day my father was absent. He wasn't there, perhaps a business trip, I don't remember well. What I do remember, in a shocking blatancy is how my mother behaved without her husbands presence. As a kid, I knew nothing. I wasn't suspicious in anything she does. She was my mother, I loved her even though she rarely visit me in my chambers. I believed, she was the most beautiful lady any man could wish for. I was proud to be her and father's child. But she invited that stranger inside, who from th every start appear nothing like a nobleman. Even as I was little, his presence scared me. His eyes were so cold it penetrated me I couldn't barely move. It was plain obvious: He was an unwanted man in the manor, I wanted him to go away, be gone and far away from my mother. However, I could see her smile, hear her laughter. Never have I heard even the slightest similar to that when she was around father. It was a completely different mother, a happy mother. Despite the man's presence disgust me, I didn't tell anyone what happened that day. Now I am positive that that man was actually my and my brother's real father.
(Teens)
Ephraim spent most of his time inside, studying. Ernest did too, but soon the teachers knew whom they should better teach to not make their efforts a time-wasting attainment. That's why Ernest could often go to Operas and Theaters, and it was more often Ernest who attend a party. They were still teens and had time, but who would've thought Ephraim was beginning to fail in conversational skill and mannerism, and began to rebell? Ernest was of course, oblivious to what actually happened around them. However, Ephraim knew; his father searched for their older sisters husbands even before they reach 16 year old. It was indeed odd, as Ephraim though he had a solid position, knowing well if it comes out he and Ernest were the illegitimate children, born from a cheating wife, his father's reputation wil suffer greatly. Yet he did what he did, and it angered Ephraim. He wasn't sure of to impress his father or just spread open a wound by insulting his throne, but he did both of them in his own ways. Ernest meanwhile could only watch, didn't really understand the whole situation. His brother assumed that to be for his best, but soon he had to reveal the truth to him, and then Ernest told him what he observed when he was a child. Ephraim is noticed to be very eager to know all the details.
