## History

### Early History

Friday came to Downing Hill at six years old, rescued by Professor Henry O'Connor after the kidnapping of her twin sister Penny and the death of her mother by burning at the hands of The Church of the Hallowed Name in an attack against the Blackwood Coven, where Friday and Penny were born and lived for their early childhood. Friday forgot most of this over the years, but remembered during a ritual at the Blackwood Coven.

At Downing Hill, Friday was extremely isolated from her peers, implied to be due to social differences; her only confirmed friend from this time is Olivier Song.

### Season 2

She escapes Downing Hill after The Summer Program led to the destruction of her Void knife. She has finally found community that she is happy in, The Blackwood Coven.

Olivier was once Friday's only friend when they both lived at Downing Hill. Even After Olivier's expulsion, although she's unsure of their state, Friday still cares for Olivier, and brings them up for time to time.

### Clara Martin

Clara is Friday's friend. Despite a poor start to their friendship due to Friday blaming Clara for Olivier's expulsion, the two gradually become quite close friends after Friday helps guide Clara through Downing Hill's operations using her extensive knowledge and good luck. As Clara becomes engrossed with her studies and eventually indirectly confesses her feelings for Friday, they're able to stay friends, but Friday remains inarticulately troubled by these developments. Even after leaving Downing Hill, Friday still cares for Clara but doesn't make an effort to reach out to her.

### The Omen

The Omen is Friday's friend. Originally only passing allies at Downing Hill, Friday would collect and hide small animals and shiny objects for the Omen. After leaving Downing Hill, she is found by the Omen at the Blackwood Coven, but instead of reporting her, the Omen decides to stay and become her companion, accomplice, and secret sharer.
