No branch of the Redd Coven is the same, but they all have one common goal: To enhance, pursue, and maintain magic excellence. Cost is generally seen as no issue, though each person has their own boundaries on how far they are willing to go. Individual boundaries are respected among the family with the understanding that the respect goes both ways. The only exception to magical pursuit is any experimentation against other witches. The Redd Coven believes in witch superiority, and they need to bound together instead of turning against each other. In fact, arranged marriages are not uncommon among the coven, using the opportunity to grow the coven’s influence. In most cases, even men will inherit the Redd surname unless they come from a better-known family.
While the Redd coven is not as old as some of the other covens around the globe, their pursuit of magic enhancement placed their name among the elite. Some older covens remain skeptical at the new blood and their methods, but not many can argue with their results. Unlike many popular covens who started in Salem, the Redd Coven started in La Luna, California. Their ancestors saw the opportunity to grow in the west coast instead of competing among those on the east coast. Many have left La Luna, but the central head of the family always remains in La Luna. Any off-shoots of the central branch are given a name of a constellation as a reminder of their dedication to their craft. Traditionally, it is a matriarchal structure, but a few men have become the head of the family over the years. The head is referred to as “The Matriarch” or “The Patriarch” As some witches can extend their lifespan, once the head turns 70, they are forced to turn it to their successor.
This generation’s successor is a bit more complicated this time around. The current head gave birth to two female twins, leaving the question of who would take over to be heavily debated. The Matriarch has been preparing both of them, but as she grows older, she will soon need to decide who will lead the Redd Coven forward.
