  Mirach
Alpheratz is a hot, blue (class B) star, whereas Mirach is a cool red class M (M0) giant (the color difference notable to the eye), and quite a bright giant at that.
It was originally meant to be "Mizar," meaning "loin," which for us today refers to the famed star in the Big Dipper's handle, but a variety of misspellings made the name take on its present form.
Mirach, like many cool class M giants, seems to be slightly variable, though the variations are not well documented.
