Meet the Blacklight Streakmates

This short-lived gang has its own backstory in the Centipede and Fire Saga, and is being documented in Plottr right now.

Members included:

Asha Antust Diamond Ozin Ebony Katoolidge

These bad girls mostly tried to support their families and each other, via mostly acts of petty theft and fencing. They were involved in narcotics trafficking as well. However, things did get out of hand in their dangerous neighborhoods from time to time. They assisted various male members of the Blacklight Streakmates, many of whom died when the male juvenile centers were attacked by Korsicht's forces.

There may have been more, but these three found themselves at Madison Juvenile, back when it was still operation, inside the Earth-G7 timeline. The only one that ever gave Candi or any of the staff at Madison any trouble, was Ebony, who suffered from Oppositional-Defiant Disorder.

Yet, the one who was there the second-longest was Asha, due to her arson charge and lack of ability to find sponsors. What led up to the fire was complicated; but blaming Asha was seen as the easy road to quick cash for the local DA. Asha's list of charges for more minor crimes was large enough, that she had a difficult time defending herself from arson. Asha was also the first to be sent to Madison, arriving in November of 2013 - almost a whole two years before Candi Flippo arrived!

While none could pin any murder charges on Ebony, she was convicted for desecration of a corpse. She was transported to Madison a whole month after Asha. Ayrshire native Ebony's stubbornness and defiance got her stay at Madison extended over and over again, until she became one of the ill-fated to die at the hands of the Screwworms invading Madison Juvenile during the Battle for Madison. She survived several Anitos, only to fall at the hands of Korsicht himself.

Asha, from Nyesville, was finally able to get her mess sorted and get released in February of 2016 - right around the time Candi miscarried her daughter Angie. This was also a month before the events in Kahoopiliana.

Diamond, from Winslow, was the least violent, and most resourceful. She managed to avoid drawing negative attention to herself until her greed caught up with her in October of 2015 - where she found her missing gang sisters. She was convicted of jewelry theft and fencing, after getting sloppy in covering her tracks.

She was tempted after what happened with Amirah to join the Last Legs that Candi formed. But in the end, she remained loyal to the Blacklight Streakmates - even if she found Ebony's attitude off-putting. Diamond was en route for release, but ran out of time. The Anitos sealed her fate. She died protecting Ida Gahtit from the Anito Squad.
