Skelleyville Seven
In 2011,
the town of Skelleyville experienced a truly horrific phenomenon. Several townspeople vanished without a trace. A mass murderer kicked doors in (or so the public falsely remembers) and slaughtered townsfolk or worse, dragged them into some bunker that has not been found to this day.
During this catastrophic event, seven girls -- middle school friends, then -- were found together deep in the Grandon Forest, lost, afraid.
Whatever they saw still haunts them.
Structure
There really isn't a structure. Instead, they're just ... folks who are hanging on.
Assets
Most of their notable assets come from Mia Saint Auron, one of the Saint Auron heiresses. Courtesy of Mia, the gang has access to a throwaway estate in the woods, by a pristine lake that is rarely visited. Any of them can go there-- they all have a key.
Additionally, despite the group having grown distant over the years, they have been sending money back and forth as needed-- they are one another's assets.
History
The group initially was made of three of them: Mia Saint Auron, Reyes Coelhes, and Domino Cross. Mia brought in one of her friends, as did Reyes, and Domino brought along the latchkey kid who lives on her street.
They were, at the time of initiation, about the same age. Reyes and Mia were a year older than the rest, by technicality. The girl who would become Yarou II was 11 years old at the time of the Massacre-- which made her the youngest of the crew by a year.
Initially the group just hung out together after school, or explored Skelleyville, getting away with exploring forbidden territories because kids just -- do that sort of thing, naturally. But then Sutter was missing after school, which led the group to travel to her house and try and find her...
... only to find her staggering along the woods edge, missing an eye and sobbing. Together they were all drawn in, and Domino went missing for a time.
In the aftermath of that horrible night, an eighth girl claimed to be part of them: Anja Laakso, a wolverine-hare hybrid who nobody could recall meeting, but who everyone remembered to some degree anyways. Since then, accounts of the Seven have always included the eighth member, Anja, and the crew just mocks those who are confused by it.
