History
A Proxima at first, Moonlight became a Silver Ladder shortly after her Awakening after rolling a die to see which choice to make. Her political leanings were shaken early on by the dominance over Ladder within the Preston Consilium of de Molay, and she turned to Fate magic for petty rebellions, joining the Court as part and parcel of her objection to de Molay's rule.

In her early years as a mage her objections and actions were small, petty things which nonetheless earned one retribution or another, but then Retrograde came to Preston. A Blank Badge, Retrograde found relief in Preston's relaxed attitude to 'problematic' Legacies, though he was hardly a Left-Hander. He and she inspired each other to steadily grander acts of rebellion, and in their shared enmity of de Molay, they found love.

De Molay greeted this wave of sharper dissent with sharpness of his own, turning to a knife and exacting vengeance on Moonlight whenever he believed her to be at the root of issues with his designs. "An inch for an eye," he would say, using his long blade to carve a deep cut each time. Moonlight's Cabalmates healed many before they scarred, but on occasion they did not get the chance.

This state of affairs drove Moonlight and Retrograde in a desire to become better, for themselves and for those around them, to become better and thus, ultimately, to rise above de Molay. The Court and the Star Chamber became the two major foci of dissent in Preston, and Moonlight sought out a Ladder who belonged to the Pure Sovereigns, hoping to gain an advantage through the Attainments of that Legacy.

Moonlight and Retrograde were married in late 2012.
