The group goes to Newberry Elementary and then Newberry High until they each graduate

Their hang out spots are the Genesis Hub Cafe, Laila’s Cafe, As Time Goes By antique store, and the Newberry County Library

They all live relatively close, most on the same street, which is why they’re all friends and go to the same school

They all love to read, write, storytell, make art, or play music

They each use a Nintendo DS to communicate until they get phones

Snow, Theseus, and Odette are all really close friends, and spend the most time together

Willow and Brooke are originally from another part of Newberry, and moved to the street the rest of the group lived on in 2008

Snow met Willow at school at the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year, and introduced her to Odette and Theseus, and eventually Willow, along with Brooke, become members of the group
