Maria Shanmao
Leaders of the Red Scarves
Tea Clan
The Tea clan is a family of wildcats with a rich history. In the words of Coral, the clan works with organizations to make their influence feel where it matters most.- Coral: "'Cóng yīnyǐng xíngzhuàng, cóng dìmiàn yǐndǎo: Shape from the shadows, guide from the ground.' It's been our philosophy for the entire history of the clan."
- Alliterative Family: The names of the three siblings all start with the letter "C".
- Cat Ninja: The entire clan consists of ninja Wildcats.
Corazon Tea
Corazon Tea is the oldest of the three siblings who started off as a veteran ninja in the Red Scarves. When her younger sister, Coral, reached veteran status one year earlier than her she became furious. To the leaders of the organization, Corazon lacked discipline, having killed innocent civilians during her missions.
In Corazon's eyes, the Tea clan is above everyone; and anyone who stands in the way of the Tea clan doesn't deserve to live. After a number of attempts from Coral to reason with Corazon, her behavior eventually led to her being ejected from the Red Scarves and the Tea clan. She was also sentenced to execution, as she was considered too dangerous to be kept alive.
Having fled during the execution Corazon faked her own death and escaped to the Southern Islands. She quickly took over a barkada after she was abducted by them. The barkada, now named Itim Tsaa (Filipino for "Black Tea"), quickly rose under her leadership. During that time, she also met Aaa, who joined her cause, providing his skills in machinery.
Years later, after she got wind of the theft and destruction of the Kingdom Stone, her plans had to change. With Aaa, she stole the prototype of a flying battleship called the Sigwada. With the airship in her possession, she intends on taking the Bakunawa to exterminate the Lilacs and bring the Tea clan into their rightful place; as the rulers of the world.

Other
Aaa
Aaa is a tarsier who used to work for Kidlat Puno, a barkada in the Southern Islands. Since his leader wouldn't allow him to build the sort of machinery he wants he ran away.
He first met Corazon in person after her fight against the rival barkada, Pula Langit. She was going to kill him but Aaa pleaded for his life as the voices in his head told him that he should join Corazon and build cool things for her.
Finding him pathetic, Corazon decides that he is not worth killing and decides to make him her pet. After a test to see his skills as a mechanic, she was impressed by his work, even if his first designs freaked her out.
