Star Spangled Society

"Stars shall secure society. Stars shall save sanity. Stars shall slay sins. Stars should stay still, shining. Stars shall symbolize [the] Star Spangled Society."

- Selina Strawberry quoting the motto of the Star Spangles Society; it was noteworthy that pratically every words in the sentence began with letter "S"

The Star Spangled Society, also known as the Society for short, the Society of Shines and the Society of Serenity, is a secret society and organization that lied atop the executives of the Order of Flourish while ranked beneath the true leader, Helio the Light Lord. The Star Spangled Society was, therefore, a sub-faction of the Order of Flourish. It was formed by 500 minor Shines who hid everywhere in the town, serving as a good counterpart to the modern-day version of Shadow Warriors, which was also hiding in the town with different secret identities.

The Society served as the main antagonistic faction in LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Harvest Saga - Selina Strawberry Arc before redeeming itself and became an ally to the Team Witness.

Early Days
The Star Spangled Society was formed by Hestia Hawthorne and later suceeded by Selina Strawberry, originally serving as a benevolent secret faction in order to help the citizens in Sleepy Hollow in need, but like the entire they unknowingly went into a way of error after the death of Hestia Hawthorne, the former leader of the Star Spangled Society, due to an assassination executed by Phyllis Peach.

After this outcome of losing his beloved adopted daughter, Lord Helio went insane and fused the Stone of Wisdom with a part of Hestia's soul (mainly her talents and magic power, instead of her emotions and humanity) and attempted to use it to revive Hestia via using the Stone of Wisdom, starting the first Feast of Apollo.

Selina, who had took the place of the leader in the Star Spangled Society, was obliged to host the Feast of Apollo alongside the rest of the Order. Selina did so in an attempt to bring her beloved benefactor back to life. However, the Feast of Apollo failed, and the effect of this was both unexpected and tremendous to the Star Spangled Society.

Its current leader, Selina, was reminded of her horrid events in her past like the rest of her collegues, and she turned into a mindlessly loyal servant of Lord Helio due to the despair she suffered. Selina became mindless loyal to her master, and she just ignored the error of his way. Even so, her humanity still remained in a positive way and for many outside the Order, Selina remained as helpful and respected as usual.

The only glimpse of her personality change after the Feast of Apollo was Selina using the Team Witness in order to achieve her own goal to create a utopia in the town of Sleepy Hollow by using the Dawn's Early Light and got the town away from evil, especially when the story further developed.

Selina Strawberry Arc
However, the rest of the Star Spangled Society members were much less lucky. Like most of the Shines and those transformed citizens, they had turned into a group of control freaks. They mindlessly supported Lord Helio's idea and claimed the Order of Flourish shall rise above the needs of the citizens and controlled them, turning as insane as many members of the Order as well. They soon deemed Team Witness as a threat when Ichabod openly challenged the Order of Flourish, and Selina (without knowing Ichabod's reason against the Order) turned against the Team Witness as well.

However, at the climax of the battle between Ichabod and Selina, two former friends, Lord Helio revealed himself to be both the Light Lord and the White Wizard, who played both the Order and the Team Witness in order to open the Feast of Apollo again, this time in a greater scale. Under Lord Helio's command, Selina and the Star Spangled Society open the second Feast of Apollo, but Selina soon found out the truth that Lord Helio became a puppet of Moloch, the Order's supposed sworn enemy. The second Feast of Apollo would become a stepstone for Moloch to raise the United Kingdom of America on the Prime Earth, and Lord Helio had awared of it.

Selina was shocked by the revelation, which snapped her out of her despaired state. With the help from Kristen Kiwifruit, the entire Soceity as well as Selina had reverted back to their original personality and realized the error of their ways. After Abbie and Pandora destroyed the second Feast of Apollo, the Society had deposed Lord Helio and Selina became the new leader, turning against Lord Helio in order to make him realize his error.

Redemption
After Lord Helio's assassination at the hand of Phyllis Peach, the true mastermind behind all evil events happening in the Order, the Star Spangled Society participated the final battle alongside the Rookie Shines. After the death of Phyllis, the Star Spangled Society took complete control of the renewed Order of Flourish, with Selina became its new leader and redeemed it from its way of error.
