To her, you are only as useful as what you can put out into the world. She is incredibly determined, persevering despite the odds stacked against her. Due to her past, she has become incredibly jaded and does not trust easily. She often takes jobs if she knows the person who is targeted will suffer. She is not afraid of getting her hands dirty and making enemies. Outside of work, Persephone takes pleasure in pursuits that bring her job, in all manners possible. She has woken up in different places before from her exploits, but at least she has woken up every time. Above all, Persephone isn't afraid and does not back down from challenges, especially if it means people who hurt others pay the consequences.[/color][/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][code]R E L A T I O N S[/code][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][color=silver][b]Mr. Smith:[/b] For all intents and purposes, he is Persephone's handler or the one that more often than not gives her jobs to do. While Persephone can be hired by anyone, he has established himself to be one of the best and one of the ones that know of Persephone's past enough to slide her jobs that he knows she will take (because it causes havoc for certain bureaucracies.
[b]Vikky Barnes:[/b] Probably the closest person Persephone would call a friend. Vikky grew up on the same streets Persephone did, so the two have been around each other a lot. Vikky is a digital artist who is slowly making a name for herself, a fact Persephone isn't too thrilled about.
[b]Albus Pietro:[/b] Persephone's ex, though not according to him. One of the wealthy sons of the Pietro family, he often saw Persephone as his property and treated her as such. Once she finally got out of it, he did not handle it well. He is still a very big thorn in her side.
[b]Grandma Zhai[/b] An elderly Asian woman who took care of Persephone when she was young. She runs a tea shop that is frequented by many people with no other place to go. Don't let her look fool you, there's fire underneath her exterior.[/color][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][code]H I S T O R Y[/code][/indent][/indent][hr][indent][indent][h1][/h1][color=silver] Persephone died. Well, not really, but a part of her did. Born to parents not equipped to raise her, she was left to fend for herself at the young age of five. Having to scrape by how she could, either by stealing or lying, she managed to feed herself almost every day. That is until she stole from Grandma Zhai. The woman caught her, scolded her, scared her, and then provided a home for her to stay in. Unsure of the woman's intentions, Persephone (the name she chose for herself at a later date) went along, but planned to escape at a moment's notice. Grandma Zhai saw raw talent in Persephone, especially regarding technology. Grandma Zhai did all she could to hone those skills, providing lessons and teaching her what she knew. Persephone fought back as she could, but Grandma Zhai never backed down.

She ran with a group of kids in their neighborhood. Often they did small bits of pickpocketing, thefts, vandalism, whatever the situation called for. After all, they were a group of young rebels trying to hurt the system that didn't want them. Grandma Zhai, knowing full well what went on, never said so much as a word to Persephone. She never told her to stop, she never cautioned her. And yet, as time went on, Persephone wanted to please her or to make her proud.

Eventually, the group disbanded, but Persephone needed a way to make money. It was around this time she met Albus. He took an interest in her that made her teenage heart skip several beats. No one took an interest in her ever unless they wanted something. He provided for her, fed her, clothed her, and made her feel special. Grandma Zhai did not approve of the relationship, constantly telling Persephone to leave him before she would not be able to.

And that's when the hurt began.

It started small with words and quickly escalated to fists. Persephone hurt herself more, wondering why she allowed herself to fall so low. She quickly made it out and went back to Grandma Zhai, who offered no "I told you so's" despite how rightly she deserved them.

It clicked for Persephone that injustices like the one she faced, like many others like her face, could not go unpunished. Using the knowledge she learned, she made her first attack against a bureaucracy that had recently been making veiled threats against Grandma Zhai and her store. Sneaking into one of their main facilities, Persephone discovered evidence of money laundering and poisoning people to the point of sickness. Persephone, under the name th0rn_r0se, published the data to the public. Her first hacking.

With a drive to punish others and stand up for those who had no voice, Persephone killed her other life. That girl was dead and Persephone stood in her place. She made a name for herself, took on jobs that she wanted, made few friends and many enemies.

The future was how she made it now.[/color][/indent][/indent]

Persephone doesn't know why Watson is programmed to look like he just sustained a severe injury, but he likes to joke around that it "gives him character". Logical and calculating, he is a good sidekick (though he hates the term) to Persephone's investigations, offering insight and knowledge to help aid in her pursuit of whatever goal she is trying to get.

Despite this, he is also the word of morality to her. While he is aware of her determination, he often likes to remind her that revenge is not always the best course of action. He is ride-or-die though and seeks to ensure she remains safe.
