Once Upon A Time...

...There were five girls. These five girls went about their daily lives- going to school, hanging out with friends, working at their jobs- just like any normal teenage girls. But, on long summer nights, sometimes the girls would end up together around a fire and get a little crazy.

Sitting around this crackling fire, the girls would share with each other their secrets, their hopes, their dreams, their plans, their troubles, their worries... without any hesitation or any regret.

These girls created a Sisterhood.

For years, friends had come and gone out of the girls lives, but each Summer it was those five girls. Those five that created a friendship bond that will last a lifetime.

Of the Sisterhood were the Noble Five Priestesses, each given a title and place in the society.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duchess Naked-As-A-Jaybird was the most grown of the group. Married to Duke Sitting Cloud, and about to have a child of her own, she never let distance separate her from the Sisterhood. Quick to speak her mind, and loving like a mother, she sat out as a distant keeper of the peace. Whenever troubles arose in the group, she was there to mediate and to "mother" as only a mother should. She made sure to let her sisters know her thoughts about situations and about each of them, but in this, she made sure to love them for who they were and not for anything they may have tried to pretend to be (for she quickly pointed out that they were silly in trying to pretend anyways). Her love shined in the group, and their love in return, even as she was moved into a new life miles and miles away. The Duchess made sure that she was never far from thought or forgotten (or else pay the price of a good butt kicking).

Marchioness Drunk-As-A-Lord was the right hand lady of the Duchess, being as close knit to her as family. She worked hardest out of the group to support herself, and lived completely on her own for a time. She was quick to love and trust, which sometimes ended up as a fault, but her big heart was full of love for all of the sisters and her own young siblings. Life experience did not pass the Marchioness by, I tell you now. She was the most experienced in learning how to live in a real world where things were not always perfect and good. She fiercely stood up and for her sisters, never letting anyone in the society get hurt by an outsider, or another sister. Her stubborn ways and love for group showed in her wild acts involving Jack Daniels and Poker. When not able to participate for any reason in sisterhood meetings, the sisterhood felt lost and confused, for the Marchioness served as a leader of the girls.

Baroness Crescent Moon was somewhat the wild child of the sisterhood. She, as fiery as her hair, never let anyone bypass her in her ability to make adventure in every day life. The Baroness overflowed with personality and life as she came to most all of the sisterhood gatherings. She was fearless in new things- never afraid to try anything once. She grabbed life by the... well you know... and most of the time drug the other sisters with her (reluctantly for some, happily from others). She was not a person who was quick to trust other people, but instead you had to earn her trust. Once you earned it however, she would love you and treat you as richly as anyone else she would in her life. Her friends served as an extended family for the Baroness, who came from a two person family herself. The Baroness constantly worked on where she was headed in life, and had huge dreams including a boy, Baron Flies-Like-An-Eagle who she was as mad for as she was her sisters.

Princess Young Heart was often seen as the baby of the sisterhood, but probably had one of the biggest hearts of all the sisters. Her passion lied in animals, mostly horses, in which she felt (almost) as much love for as her fellow sisters. The Princess felt all of the sisters troubles however, as if they were her own. She was the first to stand up for any sister, no matter who against. She was sometimes picked on and teased by the Sisters, and sometimes was angered by their remarks, but still in her heart she knew that they did it all out of love for her. The sisters relied on the Princess to be there when all else were not, and the Princess served her duty well. The Princess was also one, like the Marchioness, who had been betrayed and hurt more than one should in her life, and she learned to rely on the Marchioness, amongst the other Sisters, in her times of need.

Viscountress Tiger Lily, that being myself, was sometimes the odd ball of the group. Being very close knit to her family, she was sometimes forced to be absent at sisterhood gatherings, which some sisters had frustrations about. However, the Viscountress loved all of the sisters dearly as she did her family, and worked hard to make sure that they never lost their touch. Being a lover of words in both written and read form, she decided to start an account of the sisterhoods secret society, and of their adventures within each others wild company.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their story is one of adventure and growing up, of long nights and peachy drinks, of baby showers and wedding bells, of heart break and true love, of friendship and of family. These girls, as different and unique as they could be, each served as the foundation and as the glue of the Sisterhood and each others lives.

As I continue to account some of their story, I hope that those reading know their importance and their role as a member of...

The Southern Secret Ya-Ya Sisterhood!

"Let no man put us under..." :P

YA-YA!
