Creation
Millennia ago, dating back to the days of ancients, Lucifer, gods most prized angel fell from the heavens and was imprisoned in a new realm of fire and ice. Once fallen, the battle between "evil" and "good" shortly began. Demons were created and roamed the plains of hell seeking any possible way to climb out of the pit. Around this time other creatures, small little beings, known as humans began to advance and adapt to the world the creator had bestowed upon them. Most the of human race adapted into laborers, warriors, and even kings. People too blind, arrogant, or perhaps ignorant to see the supernatural creatures that plagues their realm, however, there was that small percent that were born on the same frequency as the other beings that roamed the earth along side them. People who were capable of seeing that they were not alone in their world, that other creatures walked along side them such as nymphs, sirens, fae, vampyre, angels, and even demons. These supernatural beings, so unlike the humans, were known for their habits but none more dangerous than that of a demon. It wasn't long before the humans began to realize that they could harness the power of these dangerous creatures. These people are formally known as witches. It is said that witches are the product of a contract made with that of a demon. The demon provides the human unnatural power and in return they either collect souls, or give up their own. Thus witches were created, and as time continued it's march forward witches began being born by natural means. The demons eventually were no longer needed in order to obtain great power, that is unless you were born human.
The Covenant
The covenant was founded centuries ago by it's founder Francis Duboue Petrova, a young painter that hailed from an old, humble country town known as Roslin, and his mysterious mistress La Rosa the demon. Francis, after being exiled from his home town due to his ability to see supernatural creatures such as spirits and fae, made an arrangement with La Rosa. She offered him a place where he would feel he was needed and immense power in exchange for his help in creating a covenant of witches in her name. Consumed by his loneliness, Francis agreed to this deal and became the first Rose Witch. Following his transformation, La Rosa trained him in his new abilities while he began searching for new members. As his powers grew, the easier it was to tempt the unfortunate into La Rosa’s Covenant. The next four members of the covenant, after proving their worth to La Rosa, were all given their own special abilities and magics. From those five people, the covenant grew as family members and the lesser unfortunate flocked to La Rosa’s side. The more people that worshiped the demon, and sacrificed in her honor, the more powerful La Rosa became. After many years of hard work, on the witches part, La Rosa became one of the most powerful demons to have ever existed in the supernatural realm, and was feared by many. Though, while La Rosa was blinded by her own greed and thirst for power, she didn't realize that her following had become riddled with discontent.
The Great Divide
After several hundred years have passed, witches being born naturally had become a new phenomena through out the supernatural realms. Knowing this had caused a dramatic shift between humans, witches, and the more monstrous few. Witches quickly found themselves outcasted by both human kind and monster kind alike, leaving them to feel alienated in a great time of need. Humans thought witches to be monsters purely, while monsters discriminated against witches due to their mortal origins. In the end, witches had no one else to rely on but each other, but not everyone could accept that their way of life was starting to change. With the realization the witches were being born naturally, so was the notion that witches no longer needed to adhere to their contracts. Several covenants across the Earth began to rise up against their demon partners, but taking control over their lives did not come easy. This was no different for the demon La Rosa and her following of Rose Witches. The fight for their freedom was full of strife and complications.
The covenant had become divided with one band of freedom fighters and one group of La Rosa Loyalists who still sacrificed in her name. Those leading the freedom fighters were non other than the great grand children of the covenant's own founders. All except for one, the Chartreuse Rose Witch, whom had a deep connection with their patron demon La Rosa. He lead the loyalists of La Rosa, and had the upper hand with La Rosa's power at their disposal. The following years were bloody ones, but eventually the new covenant leaders had developed a plan to seal La Rosa away for all eternity. The only problem was that they needed the Chartreuse Witch's magical energy to complete their sealing ceremony properly. In order to do this, the Blue Rose Witch at that time had issued for a meeting to negotiate terms of surrender, but in reality they only did this in order to get close enough to him to subject him to a potion that would make him compliant with the rest of their plan. Their trick almost didn't work, but with their quick thinking they managed to succeed. With the biggest thorn out of their side, the uprising could finally take on the very demon herself. Everything had worked according to plan, but the sealing spell they created did not come with out a price. La Rosa was sealed away within one of the witches, her presence embodied with in a lone mark permanently etched into their skin. At first the witches were unaware that they had paid a price for their actions, and would soon enough realize the consequences of their actions.

A Family Affair
Things seemed relatively normal as decades passed, and soon enough death had came to reap their souls one by one. One day, the Petrova's had all gathered for the arrival a new baby girl in the hospital. After several long exhausting hours of labor, the mother had finally given birth to a new little Petrova. The nurses took the baby away to make sure that the baby was perfectly healthy. Some time had passed, and eventually the woman's doctor returned to the room with a grim expression plaguing him. What he had to say to the family came as a complete shock; their new bundle of joy had a curse mark on her left thigh. The Petrova Family had gone into a frenzy over this news, and immediately consulted their eldest living relative for some insight. Upon inspecting the child, he explained that the child had been born with La Rosa's seal and that there was no doubt that the new born was a Rose Witch much like himself. The family realized that their elders had sacrificed their very souls to an endless cycle of reincarnation. Thus the search for the other reincarnated Rose Witches began, and it wasn't long before the Petrova Family concluded that the Rose Witch Covenant had become immortal, and that their family alone was tasked with responsibility of ensuring that La Rosa never escaped from her prison for all eternity.
