Peony hadn't settled into her place within the coven yet. She was brash and bold but gentle in the way all Ravenswyrd witches were. Fiery red hair to match her wit, she was an only child, and so she spent most of her time with my siblings and I, never truly lonely in the coven bursting with witchlings. She was one of my closest friends, full of raucous humor, and she had a crush on my younger brother, Willow.
