 Led by Goddess First Class Wilhelmina Jena Brianna, the Silver Faction insists on the coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 (the one being gold coins).  Despite repeated loud angry speeches about how Creation is being crucified on a Cross of Gold, Wilhelmina still has yet to clearly explain to most Helping Goddesses why exactly this is important.  However, this support for non-Jade currencies has led the Silver Faction to promote various Barbarian groups who are stuck using silver, copper, and gold coinage, and to support the Moonsilver-using Catgirls.
-=== The Kill Bill Faction ===
+=== The Kill Bishie Faction ===
 For millenia, this small group has been focused on killing one single Bishonen over and over, every time he reincarnates.  No one is sure why he is so important or why they are so angry with him, but they've been doing a great job so far.  Their leader operates under a seemingly permanent disguise 'The Widowed Bride'.

 The Helping Goddesses are divided into many overlapping factions on various political issues.  Many of these revolve around what operating system the Ultimate System should be using (along with other HG artifacts).  They also at least vaguely related to the question of the rule of the Magical Girls vs. the Bishonen, but really, who cares about that when you could be fighting for OS-3?
