Witches

 First told as the redhead of the family

 Odd elder of the hue holding down the fort

 The one drawing the short stick lost consideration

 Last one interested in mating became presumably spinster administered

 Her color associated with vexation of the spirit

 War locks decided the fate of pyramids to fear it

 Nature does call it air, fire, water and earth

 Jewels adorned to cover all frankenscence and mirth
