## Background

### 1997 - 2015: Sally McKnight

Sally McKnight was born to successful artist & painter Tyler McKnight in the small city of Smallville. Her mother's identity remained unknown to her since childhood & her father refused to speak on the matter. Other than her mother, all other topics of discussion were allowed. Sally & her father were very close, discussing everything about her life which made it much easier for Sally to come out as bisexual at the age of thirteen.

Sally always went along with her father when he had a new art piece to make. She spent many nights on the futon that her father had at his art studio. When she was ten, she found herself playing in her father's paint while he crafted a black & white piece for a high society client. He soon discovered Sally covered in black paint from head to toe. When he told her that she needed to get cleaned up, she retorted that she liked the black & it was her new favorite color.

Per her father's artistic interests, Sally followed a similar route but instead found herself deeply involved with music. In addition to singing, she learned how to play the guitar, piano, drums & almost every instrument known. Wanting her to take after everything he could offer, he soon began teaching her witchcraft like his mother had taught him. Just like music, Sally quickly mastered many different magical feats. Wanting her to better than he ever was, he decided she needed proper training. After meeting up his old associate Zatanna, she offered Sally a spot at Mystik U. Soon after, both Sally & Tyler packed their things & moved to Gotham.

### 2015 - Present: Thorn

With school over, Sally & her friends decided to make their band a real career. Once she & her friends pitched their desire to her father, he called in favors with his friends in the music business to get them a sit down the record label, Ruby Recordings. In no time, the Hex Girls became a huge hit in many young women & began going on multiple stores across the country all while silently practicing their magic.

The girls were eventually forced to go public with their powers after being attacked by the ghost of Sara Ravencroft at the Vampire Rock Music Festival in Australia. The three of them were able to use their magic to banish the ghost away & when the dust settled, they became more popular than ever.

The Hex Girls has since dove into the world of magic & mystics, learning many things along the way. Over the years, Sally has become an icon, a skilled sorceress & a crimefighter after teaming up with Mystery Inc a few times to take down a few monsters.
