The colorwomen don't have a backstory yet, so here we can craft that backstory.

The Colorwomen scroll should be up tomorrow, but I wanted to share the top 5 highlights:
-The original Woman in Pink was King Godred Crovan's daughter, Esmeralda. -The reason the Off-whites turn so quickly is because the original man and woman in off-white had a son, who had somuch power he went crazy, though it is believed that 90% of the time, this does not happen. -There was once a Man in Pink. The original Woman in Salmon killed him accidentally while trying to kill her male counterpart. - The Colorwomem have artifacts of a sort; Rings of color that enhance their powers -A paragraph in the "Colorwomen Scroll is believed to be in the unknown language.
It should be up tomorrow!

Colorwomen Scroll: Translated and annotated by Man In Blue, Man In Gold, and Woman in Silver
________________ The Man In Blue, Matthew Erdagovern, had brought the Prism to be displayed at the castle. It was set in front of the unicorn tapestry for all to see and admire.
That day, the King's daughter Esmeralda took the Prism to polish it. It is said that as she gazed into its depths, she saw a pink blotch grow and morph, displacing all the other colors. The energy flowed from the Prism to her finger, coalescing into a ring. She had become the Woman in Pink.
Upon realising this, she stowed the Prism beneath her bed, fearing that she would be deemed a witch and killed. When the others realized that the Prism was missing, the Colormen scoured the land.
It is said that at this time, the Man in Blue's, Red's, and White's sisters, as well as their servants, came upon Woman in Pink attempting to hide the Prism. They were initially furious, until Woman In Pink revealed her powers. The women were immediately interested, and wished to gain powers of their own.
So Woman In Pink held the Prism before them, and each stepped forth to claim their powers. First were the Man In Blue's sisters, who became the Woman in Yellow, Gray, and Lavender, while their servant became the Woman in Blue. Esmeralda's own servant became the Woman in Gold. The Man In White's sisters also touched the Prism, becoming the Women in Off-white, Black, and Salmon, while the servant became woman in white. The red servant became woman in silver, while the first sister became Woman In Red.
But when it came time for the second sister to touch the Prism, the powers were not granted upon her {translation uncertain, could be "The gift was not given to her" or "the destiny was not hers}. In a fit of rage, she fled downstairs and informed the Men In Amber, Zomp, and Lemon, who ran up to regain the Prism.
The Colorwomen fled through the window, however the Women in Off-white and all four servants did not escape. The colorwomen, meanwhile, fled to Loey Scaca {Skarloey Lake} to l{illegible}ative Sudrians, where for a succession of years they used the Prism to grow their force.
During that time, the colorwomen who were caught were imprisoned, except for off-white. The two fell in love and had a son, the next Man in Off-white.
When the Colorwomen had amassed a force equal to that of the Colormen, they stormed the great hall. They lost the battle, but they met many more times.
The last, greatest battle was fought at the steep hill beyond Wellsworth. The Colormen brought their artifacts, and the Colorwomen brought their rings. The battle went on for many days. Many deeds of renown were done during that fight, such as Woman In Salmon mistaking Man In Pink for her male counterpart, and slaying him, ending that noble lineage forever.
Chak gravel noy, for thisre mar veleet. Oonce vy daigh, an a verea mornin afa tooh. Scraca ar long drefga Malli Ir Prit, gora Vigaga noticel crey Demalli Ir Drefi cragate on carse. Frunh tgres sheift! Pro datri seg mola, fora, frcgu! Scacawen Demalli Ir Drefi strukay dar middelay fringar ootat Malli In Dirtra! {Each paragraph was in a different language, this one is in the Unknown language}
At this there was a collective gasp, then the man in off-white seized his rock and Slew all {Likely not literal}, for he had the power of a colorman and Colorwoman! Unlike Man In Goldenrod the power had corrupted him, and he tried to claim the prism for his own. But the prism took back his rock as punishment for his misdeeds, and the colormen and Colorwomen were united forever. {Presumably this is explained in greater detail in the Unknown language section}
_______ Ta-da! Thoughts?

Nice! And here's an "in character assessment" from the Man In Blue and Man In Gold:
Having finished analysis of the scroll, Man In Blue was shocked "The Unknown Language! At last a written example!"
"But no hint of translation." Man In Gold sighed. "But the Colormen were of humble origin; how could they have servants?"
"When Matthew Erdagovern proved his worth to King Godred, in exchange for his service he was provided a servant for his family. But what I am not understanding is how does a princess become a Colorwoman." As Man In Blue assessed the text.
"What do you mean?" Man In Gold said, as he began cataloging the scroll
"Well, Matthew Erdagovern's encounter with the Spirit of the Prism told him that to wield the Prism's power, "he must be humble in origin" and he does talk about how knights and clergy were rejected by the Prism."
"Perhaps the Colorwomen were given a different set of rules? I mean, there must be something about Princess Esmeralda that... of course!" Man In Gold went to his computer and brought up one of the Original Man In Blue's journal entries. "Look at this."
Daniel looked at the entry: "She confided in me that This journal contains information integral to our history. She requested that it be kept safe in the archives. Esmeralda assured me that the journal was factually written, just like all ours."
Man In Blue and Man In Gold looked at the archives.
"300 shelves, each one 200 feet long... and thousands of texts."
"we'd better get started then... that journal may be able to shed more light on this manner." Man In Gold looked over the shelves "and perhaps a Rosetta stone for our language." Man In Blue began a search through the archives, and Gold followed close behind once he finished cataloging the scroll.

That's the beauty of all of this; leaving various things open ended so we have stuff to work with later on.

We covered a few good points today in the live chat; it'll definitely help us develop the colorwomen in the future

I wanted to go over Woman In NWR Blue's story again, as not everyone understands it As copied from the game: Woman in NWR Blue had entered the base of the VEC, she then remembered how she got her powers. She had got rejected from the prism, but at night she went back, with a drill. She threatened the spirit that she would drill into the prism and steal the powers if the spirit didn't give them to her. The spirit tried to attack, but Woman in NWR Blue was faster and drilled a hole in the bottom, taking the powers with her, this caused about 20 colorfolk to remain evil from the hole drilled. And her Wiki page: colorfolk.wikia.com/wiki/Woman_In_NWR_Blue

There is room for improvement; but that is actually my first Colorwoman page in a long time.
In fact, it is probably more developed than Woman In Blue's page.
