Scarlet, Witch of Lavender
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. For many eons, this phenomenon couldn’t be explained, but to only accept it as part of every day life. Scarlet found this rather peculiar, even though she has gotten used to seeing the sight for many years. Her emerald eyes watched the clouds form out of nowhere and danced with the stars, lighting the darkness of the night sky away just for a brief moment. Scarlet was the daughter of a witch, Helenna, who provided services to those of the townsfolk on a small hillside by the beach in a small town in the state of Maine. Scarlet was fifteen years old and would hide one secret from her mother - she would speak with the Lavender Tribe. That’s what she called them, anyways.
