Appearance
Reference. Persephone appears as a beautiful young maiden, just on the edge of womanhood. She was an incredibly beautiful young goddess (enough to attract the attention of Hades, who hardly ever left the Underworld). Persephone was described to be a tall young woman with long dark hair that floated and curled as if it were weightless, and her face was beautiful but deathly pale. She was so beautiful in fact, that Adonis had trouble choosing between her and Aphrodite.
|Earthly Appearance|Persephone chose to take on a human appearance similar to the one she retained as a goddess, although a little taller. She stands 5’ 7” - the perfect height to look into the eyes of her ex husband, Hades. She kept her milky white skin and long dark hair. It served her well in her former life, why change now? She has a slim, soft build despite her lack of exercise. She tends to favor loose, flowy fabrics with an obvious preference for floral patterns.
Who Am I?
Persephone is lively, energetic, and loving. She finds value in all forms of life and hurts when they hurt. She is passionate toward conservation and animal rights projects, often putting her time and money into various organizations that promote vegan lifestyle and earth friendly resources. She often surrounds herself with as many plants as is appropriate. Ok, sometimes it's a little more than what's appropriate...
As far as her relationships, Seph can easily become possessive and jealous of those who are important to her. She is widely known as a flirt but doesn't have an unfaithful bone in her body. She, however, expects her men to be straight laced when in comes to other women - no flirting whatsoever. She is not judgemental in anyway and accepts everyone how they are. She makes friends easily and keeps them as long as they'll have her.
While her previous marriage can get her down at times, she is generally a very happy and content person. Overall, she is laid back but has a strong work ethic and enjoys spontaneity and adventure. She gets bored easily and never seems to run out of energy, especially when she's invested in a project. She has a tendency to jump into life with both feet first and has no regrets.
|Family|(Ex)Husband - Hades (Lord of the Underworld) - Although they divorced on relatively good terms, Persephone holds some resentment for him not fighting harder to keep her. She did fall in love with him despite their less than standard betrothal.
Mother - Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest) - Persephone hasn't heard from her mother after Seph's decision to "remake herself".

|History|As the story goes, Persephone was kidnapped into a marriage with Hades. But what the story doesn't tell you is that Seph fell for Hades. Hard. He worked so hard to make her happy that she saw the man he was beneath his gruff exterior. He brought a darkness to the surface within her that she lavished, and to this day, never gave up. Then, one day a millenia ago, the inevitable happened. Hades realized the error of his ways and released Persephone. She never told him but she was heart broken. She had nothing left in the world at that point - everyone she once loved had abandoned her to the Underwold. So, she decided to remake herself. She wouldn't be the lowly maiden who was taken advantage of anymore. After her godhood was lost and humanity was thrust upon her, she educated herself in business and started an all natural, vegan cosmetic line called Vanity. It quickly rose in popularity and currently sits in the #3 position for all cosmetic lines in the world.
|Opinion on Mortals|In all honestly, Persephone is apathetic when it comes to humanity. She sees the value of humans and hardly holds godhood over them. With that being said, she finds them incredibly easy to manipulate, most likely due to her obvious beauty.
|Theme Song|Drops of Jupiter - TrainNow that she's back from that soul vacation

She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey
