Well, Mirei is a security guard at a hotel, and Clarissa sort of sponges off her sister. They're what Shadow Humans call 'Tainted Shadows' - in that they live with Humans, not in pure Shadow Human society. They are sisters, yes - and they live together, because it's easier for each other.

At night, the two of them have a job with the same hotel, putting on entertainment for the guests. It mostly consists of a few cheap magic acts, but their real Crowd-Pleaser is a form of Hypnotism, the result of which is that the personality and memories of Clarissa is swapped with that of a volunteer from the audience (It's always Clarissa, as Mirei's the only one of the two who can perform it.)

Although they were almost banned from this part of the act, after a male guest decided to do very... inappropriate things with Clarissa's body whilst he was controlling it.

There's a lot of complexity between them, though. They're not 100% Shadow Humans, for one thing - their mother was actually a Wolf Demon - however the Shadow Human genetics are not only dominant, but they're so unstable, that no matter what one of the parents is, if one of them is a Shadow Human, the result is always the same - Shadow Human on the outside. They're a bit like a parasite in that sense.
