She can talk to, and return listen to what they have to say. She can hear everything from trees to the smallest weed and respond in turn. Usually she uses this to communicate the needs of her personal garden, improving the growth chances of her plants. However, once the root has been cut she is unable to hear her plants anymore.[/color][/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center] [sup][h1] [color=#e1d5c3]𝐈 𝐍 𝐍 𝐄 𝐑 ❀ 𝐒 𝐄 𝐋 𝐅[/color] [color=A4AC92][sub][sub][sup]You made a deal, traded daffodils[/sup][/sub][/sub][/color] [/h1][/sup] [/center][table][row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [center][sup][h3][color=e1d5c3]███████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]𝐕 𝐢 𝐫 𝐭 𝐮 𝐞 𝐬  [/color] [color=A4AC92]𝐕 𝐢 𝐫 𝐭 𝐮 𝐞 𝐬[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=A4AC92][color=e1d5c3]⌜[/color] Compassionate [color=e1d5c3]&[/color] Warm Dutiful [color=e1d5c3]&[/color] Loyal Protective [color=e1d5c3]&[/color] Just [color=e1d5c3]⌟[/color][/color] [/center][/cell][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/nXmdNm5.png[/img][/center][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [center][sup][h3][color=e1d5c3]███████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]𝐕 𝐢 𝐜 𝐞 𝐬  [/color] [color=A4AC92]𝐕 𝐢 𝐜 𝐞 𝐬[/color][/h3][/sup] [center][color=A4AC92][color=e1d5c3]⌜[/color] Vengeful [color=e1d5c3]&[/color] Dogmatic Unforgiving [color=e1d5c3]&[/color] Idealistic Judgemental [color=e1d5c3]&[/color] Temperamental [color=e1d5c3]⌟[/color][/color][/center] [/center][/cell][/row][/table] [table][row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/8pp2GIm.png[/img][/center][/cell][cell][center][sup][h3][color=e1d5c3]████████████████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]т н є м σ я т α ℓ  [/color] [color=A4AC92]т н є м σ я т α ℓ[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=A4AC92][color=e1d5c3]⌜ 𝐀 𝐋 𝐈 𝐀 𝐒 ⌟[/color] [sub]Cora Desrosiers[/sub] [color=e1d5c3]⌜ 𝐑 𝐄 𝐂 𝐎 𝐑 𝐃 𝐄 𝐃 𝐀 𝐆 𝐄 ⌟[/color] [sub]Mid to late twenties[/sub] [color=e1d5c3]⌜ 𝐒 𝐄 𝐗 𝐔 𝐀 𝐋 𝐈 𝐓 𝐘 & 𝐆 𝐄 𝐍 𝐃 𝐄 𝐑 ⌟[/color] [sub]Heterosexual, cis-female, she/her[/sub] [color=e1d5c3]⌜ 𝐎 𝐂 𝐂 𝐔 𝐏 𝐀 𝐓 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 ⌟[/color] [sub]Owner of small café and flower shop duo, [abbr=Cora typically creates bouquets out of her own garden, using the flowers that consent or are on the cusp of dying anyway and respecting the wishes of her flora.][i]A New Leaf[/i][/abbr].[/sub] [/color][/center][/cell][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/X5eEecM.png[/img][/center][/cell][/row][/table] [center] [sup][h1] [color=#e1d5c3]𝐋 𝐈 𝐅 𝐄 ❀ 𝐒 𝐓 𝐎 𝐑 𝐘[/color] [color=A4AC92][sub][sub][sup]For a kingdom of ash and bone[/sup][/sub][/sub][/color] [/h1][/sup] [/center][table][row] [sup][h3][b] [color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/VGlAeAs.png[/img][/center][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right] [/color][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/color] [center][sup][h3][color=e1d5c3]██████████████████████[/color] [color=#2c363b]𝐌 𝐲 𝐭 𝐡 𝐨 𝐥 𝐨 𝐠 𝐲  [/color] [color=A4AC92]𝐌 𝐲 𝐭 𝐡 𝐨 𝐥 𝐨 𝐠 𝐲[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=A4AC92][color=e1d5c3]⌜[/color] 𝕯 𝖎 𝖛 𝖎 𝖓 𝖊 𝕷 𝖎 𝖋 𝖊 [color=e1d5c3]⌟[/color][/color] [hider=❀][indent][color=A4AC92][sup]Daughter of the supreme god Zeus and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, Kore was granted the domain of Spring and its bounty. Kore was considered the [abbr=a zeitgeist of the ancient Greek era]perfect maiden[/abbr]; soft, beautiful and demure. Perhaps it was this that attracted the attention of the King of the Underworld, as the King abducted Kore as she plucked flowers with the nymphs in the fields of Nysa. Demeter, enraged by Zeus' apparent approval of the kidnapping, cast a curse on the land resulting in a great famine that killed millions. She refused to lift the curse despite intervention from the other gods even at the cost of mankind, insisting that the world would remain barren till she could see her daughter again. Eventually Zeus relented, allowing Persephone to return to her mother back to Olympus. However Kore had chosen to taste some pomegranate seeds before returning to Olympus, which obliged her to remain in the Underworld with her new husband. It was her first act of rebellion against her own mother, who had loved her unconditionally though had treated her like a child with no desires for too long. Kore wanted more, and Hades offered it. Kore started being referred by her new name, Persephone, meaning [i]'to destroy'[/i], to fit her new image as the Queen of the Underworld. Though Demeter was not happy with it, Zeus decreed Persephone would spend two thirds of the year with her mother and one third with Hades, thus explaining the change of seasons in the mortal world. Later Persephone was both revered and feared as the new Queen of the Underworld. Despite tales of her mercy towards heroes trespassing and violating her domain, her title alone was enough to bring fear to the heart of mortals that once loved her as the patron of Spring, much to her heartbreak.

From being the Queen that overlooked the departed souls to being the very soul she once protected, the lifestyle was naturally a devastating shock to the goddess. The fall itself was painful, burning and unpleasant, as though she were a phoenix being reborn from the ashes of the past. So when Persephone stood up and saw the ashes of the World Tree, she cried. It was a cry of despair, more painful than the fall itself. Knowing that godhood was gone and out of their hands and leaving the gods to face the unknown without their protection. But one fateful fruit remained from the World Tree and so Persephone planted it, watering the seed with her tears with the hope that her previous domain would be enough to bless the fruit. And it worked. They could maintain their godhood, even if by a little, and that should suffice till the Tree was ready to hold the realms in its branches once more. Persephone perched herself by the seed, tending to it day and night and listening for the sign of life at every moment. She refused to leave the sapling's side, fearing that the death of the sapling would lead to her losing her children once more. She couldn't let that happen, not again when she had only just gotten her son back. When the first ambrosia grew, she cried again. Years passed and only Persephone remained constant. She remained in what is now known as Seattle, never straying far from the tree and always dutifully tending to it like one of her own children. Over time she came to enjoy the monotony, the simplicity in her life. It felt like she was a babe in Demeter's arms again, only this time she had control. And so she chose to stay, over and over again. A modern Persephone takes the name of Cora Desrosiers, a simple and humble flower shop owner living out of a small home in the outskirts of Seattle - the furthest she's willing to stray from the tree. Her little flower shop was aptly named, [color=e1d5c3][i]A New Leaf[/i][/color], in homage to her new optimism towards mortaldom.

Hera has already threatened the life of her son once before, Persephone will be damned before she lets that go.
