[color=lavender][i]"Oh boy, is this when I'm supposed to talk in concerning detail about myself?  I do so looove talking about myself, why I love talking about myself almost as much as sarcasm! Man, sometimes I think Mom should have named me Narcissus ya know?  I guess I don't have a REAL choice here though, huh?

I'm 5ft11, really pale and prone to sunburns, Black hair, I'll let you guess if it's natural or not. I like to think I'm pretty slim, but some of my friends back home used to say I was 'kinda pear shaped' whatever that means... As you might be able to tell I have a very specific aesthetic in mind when I dress up, and yes no matter the weather, I don't sweat, I simmer."[/i] [/color]

[b]How old are you anyway?[/b]
[color=lavender][i]"Twenty-Two, what's with these weird questions?"[/i][/color]

[b]Why don’t you lay your past on me? What are you even doing here?[/b]
[color=lavender][i]"Well then, if nothing else set off the 'this is getting weird really fast' alarm, that question sure did, what is this an interview for some tv show? Wait.... don't tell me you want me to talk about that cult thing again, I thought I told you guys no cameras! That's it, I'm done!"[/i][/color]

Persephone was born to a rather wealthy set of parents in the outskirts of San Marcos, Texas. Despite growing up rather spoiled, she was put through public schooling, though only as a formality. As time went on and the sweet little Persephone grew up, her grades began to slowly plummet and her love of mythology and folklore began to slowly fade into the background in favor of a very stereotypical 'daddy issues' rich girl attitude.

This went on for several years, fading in and out of phase after phase, going from attention hungry little girl, to a loud and angry teenager, and finally an emotionally drained young adult. 'But why?' you may ask? It would have been one thing to be the rich girl, another to be angry at her parents for ignoring her, but she could never deny that a major chunk of her poor family relationship was her fault, but then again angsty teenagers have a hard time seeing logic.

Two years before moving to Gravity Falls, Persephone found herself once again in with a bad crowd. She often refers to this event simply as "The Cult" and for good reason. Following a particularly nasty argument with her father, Persephone invited a few supposed friends over to her home, and long story short it resulted in her being hospitalized for a year and a half, and both her parents passing away. This event is a very sore subject for her, and she will almost never bring it up, and will simply ignore you if she cannot change the subject. 

In the year she was hospitalized, she began dating her childhood best friend, Hera. Hera stood by her the entire time during Persephone's recovery, up until a week before she was officially released. Hera had vanished and left Persephone hurting, in more ways than physically. Half a year later Persephone receives a text message from Hera's old phone number, containing only the address of an apartment building in Gravity Falls, Oregon. 

[b]Anything else you wanna share? Go for it![/b]
[color=lavender]"... I have two ravens, Muninn and Huginn."
"Hera had a pet dog named Argus, I thought it was hilarious at the time, and I still do. Least I know I'm not the only mythology nut around."
"When I finally find Hera again I'm not sure what I'll do, punch her? Hug her? I guess it would depend on the situation."[/color]

[b][i]History:[/i][/b]
[INDENT][B]
Compared to Persephone, Hera has lived a very common life. Born the youngest and the only female in a group of 3 older brothers, Hera found solace in Persephone's friendship, and was, at least in the opinion of Persephone's parents, the only good influence in Persephone's life. She spent most of her childhood staying near Persephone and being the voice of reason for the rebellious teenager.

She first found her love of the internet after posting her first cosplay images online and receiving overwhelming attention. Eventually she became a full blown internet personality, earning her entire paycheck from activities like cosplay, vlogs, donations and the revenue from her videos, especially those that featured Persephone or their pets, Argus, Muninn and Huginn. Though she admittedly only did it for the entertainment, as Persephone and her family had always been willing to keep the Beke family afloat with healthy donations ever since they found out their daughter was friends with her.

When Persephone was hospitalized after the "cult incident" Hera and the entire Beke family was there beside her, mourning the loss of the girl's parents alongside her and pushing for her recovery. A week before Persephone's release however, Hera left for Gravity Falls, her reasons nearly a mystery to even herself. It pained her to leave her best friend, nay girlfreind, alone, but there were people she had to meet, and scores she had to settle. [/B][/INDENT]
