Background[]
Sarah Bishop was raised in Madison County, New York. She and Rebecca were raised by their mother, Joanna Bishop. When her sister and brother-in-law, Stephen died in Africa, she took in Diana, who was seven at the time. She and her partner Emily raised Diana. Throughout Diana's childhood, Sarah had always thought that Diana's efforts to keep magic out of her life were pointless.
