The Resistance
(or: Just why are they all wearing those coats, anyway?)
Cher is one of three leaders of a group called the Cattia Resistance, after Queen Cattia, the Fairies' Princess and Guardian of the Cattia District. After seeing the Horatio Hornblower films on A&E, Cher decided to split the groups up into divisions of eleven each: one captain, one acting-captain, five lieutenants, and four midshipmen. (This is where the influence comes in...) Until this summer, Sherry Wine was the head of the honors division; now she is replaced by Liz Tomato.
