When was anyone able to choose to have twins?  In particular identical twins.

Regenbogen:
I think that maybe Mab planned for one of the twins to become Lady eventually. The choice (if it even was one, for it could just have been physical proximity to the dieing current Lady; see Cold Days with Molly) fell on Maeve, because she chose to become Fae. Sarissa didn't. I think, Maeve also wanted to be the Winter Lady. Sarissa didn't.

  That isn't the impression I got of Maeve,  if she wanted it, she didn't want what went with it and resented her sister because of it.

Bad Alias:
I thought the WoJ said 1800's. Doesn't really matter to the OP's logic.

They claim, identically, to not be identical twins in Cold Days.

Molly says there's a 150 year backlog of work for the Winter Lady. Does this mean Maeve was not doing her job for 150 years? Probably, but not definitely.

Regenbogen:
I can imagine she wanted the position because of the power. But maybe couldn't deal with or did not see at that time time the disadvantages. Like the duties, the celibacy,...

I always had the impression that she was angry at Sarissa, because Maeve thought that she herself chose the wrong life but would not admit that even to herself.
It is mentioned somewhere that she behaved like a spoiled brat or something like that. So someone must have spoiled her. Mab.
I think the twins started out with the same education, the same love given or not given by Mab, but it was their choices that led them into their different lives.
