History: The history of the Red Moon Clan started in the early 1900s, when Serra Angela Kanyon I was 13 years old. She had gotten raped, and, thinking their daugther to now be "tainted", her family disowned and abandoned her where Silver Hills City was soon to be built. Serra was angry at her family; angrier than she ever was before, and that anger was what called her magic to her. It, like most magic, appeared to her in the form of a spell book. Serra studied from that spell book, and, with the book's powerful spells, she built herself a house. As the weeks passed, Serra began to wonder if there were any other young women like her, women who had been abandoned by their families. It was then that Serra cast a spell to create a crystal ball, and she enchanted that Crystal ball to show her the faces of young women who were in a similar situation to the one that she was in. Whenever a face appeared, Serra would cast a spell to draw them to the location to her house, and then she would cast a spell to raise their anger so they, too, could gain magical abilities. After about five other young women had shown up, Serra decided to call their little group "The Red Moon Clan". One of her last recruits was a woman named Lilith Stevenson. Serra recruited her when she was 85. She was... different from the other women, though, and Serra wasn't quite sure why. Instead of her powers being red, like the rest of the Clan's, they were green. Serra didn't dwell on this matter too much, though, since she really didn't care. Around the time that Lilith joined the Clan, Lilith's sister joined, and Serra learned of, what seemed to be, a male version of the Red Moon Clan. 10 years after Lilith joined the Clan, they discovered an abandoned baby girl, whom the Clan decided to raise her as one of their own and name her "Serra Angela Kanyon II", after Serra. Since Serra and the other members of the Clan didn't care all that much about Serra II, or "Sak" as she called herself when she grew older, Lilith was the one who raised her the most and became a bit like Sak's adoptive mother. When Sak was 16, she began to resent the Red Moon Clan and eventually left it with Lilith. Sak's leaving caused the crumbling of the Red Moon Clan; her leaving made all of the members, except Agatha and Buttercup, realize just how much Serra was manipulating them, and they left, never to return...
