Bloody Roses

The Bloody Roses, or just Roses for short, is the collective name of the mafia-style gang founded and run by the vampire Thorn. Small and restricted, the gang is as much a family as a job, and members are known to take care of each other (in the nice way) even as they take care of others (in the dead way).

The Roses have a hierarchy, and the color of the rose-shaped pins that each member wears shows their place in that hierarchy. Each color shows not just ranking, but also that Rose's specialty.

Green Roses
Commonly called "greenies," holders of this pin are traditionally new members, goons, interns, and low level security.

Pink Roses
Pink Roses are spies and informants, usually low level with minimal trust.

Blue Roses
These members specialize in the more advanced sorts of spying, including detection of magic, infiltration, public deception, and similar activities. Minnie Haven, Jenny Bones, and Carlie Kaine all possess this level of pin.

Navy Roses
Typically intelligent and trusted, navy Roses are a sort of research and development, electronics, tracking, and other sorts of science. Doctors Iliana Samaras and Zerie Ford are navy Roses.

Black Roses
Retirees from all levels hold a black rose to prove their membership. Warren Reyes has a black rose.

Red Roses
Also from all areas, the red Roses are the inner circle of Thorn, her elite and most trusted who have all proven undying loyalty. Red Roses include Hunter Montgomery, Skuld Rose, and Karen Greene.

Turquoise Rose/Gold Rose
Less of a level and more of a status symbol, these two colors each only have one pin that bears their shade. Turquoise is Sonya Thorne's color, and represents the second in command of the Roses, though bears as much power as the golden pin of Thorn's, which shows her to be the boss.
