As a goddess, she can appear any height she pleases, but when going around on Earth she appears to be a more normal, mortal height of 5'4"
WEIGHT:
Again, weight is something that depends a lot on her form, but when among mortals she is about an average and normal weight of 110 lbs.
MYHAIR:
Persephone likes to keep her hair a dark brown color, a warm and earthy color. She likes to keep her hair looking lively with waves and curls and prefers keeping it a long and luxurious length.
MYEYES:
Her eyes can be explained as being multicolored, bearing so many shades of so many different colors they typically appear to be brown. In different light and in different emotions, certain colors can become more dominant, ranging from a similar hazel color to a completely different color such as blue or even violet. Most of the time, though, her eyes reflect a very warm, brown color.
MYFACE:
Persephone has a very beautiful face, that is both mature and retains some youthfulness. She has a slender nose and small ears. Her lips are full and normally a very rosy pink color.
MYBODY:
She has a very beautiful, slender body that remains fit, while portraying very womanly curves. Persephone has long and graceful legs. Her skin is normally a very beautiful tan color during spring and summer, and paler during autumn and winter (though perhaps not ever quite so pale as most beings in the Underworld).
SPECIAL:
Her appearance changes like and with the seasons, reflecting each season and each area she is in at the time. During spring and summer her appearance reflects much of the warmth and happiness described above, though during autumn and winter her appearance steadily becomes a dimmer and darker version. She retains her beauty, though it is very cold and appears as though the Underworld has sucked out her very life force.========================================

ABOUTME:
Persephone is very lively and very much in love with life and warmth. Being the goddess of plants and flowers and springtime, it's hard not to love life. That being true, the fact that she is also the goddess of life and death is a tad more difficult. Persephone isn't very fond of death at all, be it the death of her beloved flowers (luckily she rarely, if ever, sees Earth during autumn and winter) or even people. She has grown used to it, living in the Underworld, and has come to the opinion that death is necessary for life, though she still cannot fully appreciate death or darkness.
She is a very loving and maternal figure, who values her family very greatly and is very loyal to them and patient with them. Despite her overbearing mother and being tricked by her father and the affairs of her husband, she can be very forgiving, perhaps to forgiving and cannot stand being angry with her loved ones, though she can be very irritated with others, such as her husband's mistresses and illegitimate children. Seeing her father's treatment of his own wife and how the other gods and goddesses act, Persephone figures she has it pretty good and understands her husband's loneliness without her, and has come to think of it in a very appealing light--just how lonely and miserable he is without her. However, Persephone doesn't like actually knowing about these affairs that take place while she is gone and certainly not any children produced from it. Persephone handles it all very gracefully, she figures, though she prefers not having the actual knowledge of such affairs.
She is of a very independent nature, especially since realizing what freedom was. It irritates her that she can't come and go between realms as she pleases, though she understands how unstable that would make the Earth. She can't stand being confined or controlled as nature itself is hard to manipulate and control. She does enjoy her positions with both her husband and her mother, though, and while she rarely lets herself take advantage of her role as queen of the Underworld, she does take some glory in the acknowledgement and uses the title to her advantage when she feels she needs to.========================================
BORNIN:
Earth (Greece)
LIVING IN:
America (generally), she moves from the Underworld to the Earth, each for half a year every year.
MOTHER:
Demeter: Persephone loves her mother, though finds her overbearing and hard to handle sometimes. Demeter's always going on about how Persephone could have done better, and while she does love her mother she hates how she talks about her husband. Despite all of their problems and the aggravation Persephone always feels, she does love her mother very dearly.
FATHER:
Zeus: Persephone cares for her father, though she hardly knows him. She does respect him for being her father.
SIBLINGS:
Far too many to name. Any children of Zeus and Demeter. She doesn't have a very close relationship with any of them.
THEKIDS:
Jesmar: she considers to be her most important and beloved child, as he is her only with her husband.
Melione: her daughter by Zeus, who tricked her into sleeping with him by coming to her under the guise of Hades by the River Styx.
Zagreus: her son by Zeus, conceived in a similar manner to Melione.
Macaria and Plutus: her immortal step children, though she does her best not to think of them in that manner.
Bianca di Angelo, Nico di Angelo, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Tenkin Kolphin, Grigori Rasputin, and Personefes: her mortal step children who, are luckily, mostly dead and she thankfully rarely sees any of them but Nico, who she does her best to be kind to.
IMPORTANTPEEPS:
Hecate: her first and greatest friend of the Underworld
Nature beings: Persephone has a great liking for nymphs and satyrs and other beings of nature.
OTHERHALF:
Hades: her husband, who she loves and adores more than anything.
THEPETS:
Cerebus: the family pet, one might say, who guards the entrance to the Underworld.
GOODMEMORY:
It is hard to pick just one, though Persephone figures her best memory was giving birth to her son Jesmar. He is the first, and still the only, child she has that is both hers and her husband's and nothing was more pleasing than finally producing an heir for her husband.
BADMEMORY:
Two very bad memories stick out in her mind. The first being when she was tricked by her own father into sleeping with him, feeling so foolish for believing his lies and horrible for producing children that were not her husband's. The next very horrible memory was the day Jesmar left, certain that between his loyalty to his lover Danica, their child, and her husband's treatment of them that he will never return.
HISTORY:
The gods are notorious for their sexual prowess, both partaking in incest and their constant infidelities. So when brother and sister, Zeus and Demeter, produced a child together, it was hardly shocking. Demeter gave birth to a daughter she called Persephone, and the two hardly spent much time on Mount Olympus, so Persephone was hardly around other gods by those who lived in nature. She grew up around nymphs and satyrs and living in nature itself with her mother. Demeter was very overprotective and overbearing, but as a child and growing up with it, Persephone didn't mind and did somewhat enjoy her mother's obvious love for her and she enjoyed being cared for. She was oblivious to any other ways of living and didn't think much about anything else but her love of her time with her mother and her nymph friends.
Of course, the mother-daughter relationship was threatened when Persephone reached a marriageable age and began being wooed by Ares, Apollo, Hermes, and Hephaestus. Demeter rejected all of their gifts and hid her daughter away the best she could, though she could not have suspected what happened next. One day, while enjoying the sun and the warmth of the fields of Enna, her uncle, the god Hades came out of seemingly no where and brought her back to the Underworld. For a while, Persephone was miserable and furious. She missed her mother, she missed the sunlight and the warmth, she missed the life and the plants and the flowers, she missed the nymphs and satyrs, and everything about her bright and cozy world. The Underworld was nothing like Earth, and instead very cold and dark and filled with death and Persephone hated it.
Without her, Demeter was horribly depressed and the Earth became a barren and cold place. People were suffering from starvation and dying and it was nothing like the Earth Persephone had always loved, and knowing what was happening, Persephone was even more furious. No matter Hades's attempts to buy her love with gifts, she refused him and let herself stay angry for a while, far longer than she had ever been so bitter and angry in her life. Over time, though, her anger began to settle and she began to feel a bit better about this new life. For the first time ever, Persephone felt as though she had freedom and it was so nice and so different than her mother's constant presence and her nagging and overbearing behavior. She even came to befriend the goddess Hecate, allowing her to enjoy her time in the Underworld more and more. She even began to warm up to Hades, who spent much of his time with her and putting so much effort into making her happy and to gain her love.
Finally, however, Zeus gave in to the hungry and desperate cries of the mortals and demanded that Hades return Persephone. Hermes was sent to retrieve her, but before she left, Hades gave her six pomegranate seeds to eat. Feeling a bit better towards the man, though still eager to return home, Persephone took them gratefully, not knowing that any food or drink consumed in the Underworld tied you there forever. Persephone was only meant to be with her mother for six months out of the year, and six months were to be spent back in the Underworld with Hades. Persephone was furious once again with Hades for tricking her into staying with him, and hated feeling forced to be there, though she was quickly reminded of how she had started warming up to the place and to him, and found she couldn't be too angry for too long.
Over the years and her time spent with Hades, Persephone slowly began falling in love with him, something noted by her more and more when she would return to the Earth with her mother and found herself missing not only that freedom, but her time with him. Realizing her love for Hades, Persephone was happy and thrilled, feeling then more than ever that there was a true purpose for being in the Underworld. Persephone found she enjoyed both of her lives very much, being Queen of the Underworld for half of the year and enjoying the life and warmth of the Earth with her mother for half of the year. With her time with Hades and Demeter, though, Persephone always finds herself missing the other and hates that her life is so divided, finding she can never be truly and completely happy because at all times there is always something missing.
Over the years, Persephone was tricked by her own father into sleeping with him, both as him coming to her under the guise of her husband. Persephone felt so foolish and so horrible about believing him, and had produced him two children, a daughter and a son from the affairs. Considering her great guilt, she was somewhat hurt to learn of her husband's affairs while she was with her mother, but found it hard to stay angry and easily forgave him and came to understand why he did what he did, though she doesn't enjoy hearing about his mistresses or his children with them. Persephone may accept it in some way, but would prefer staying entirely oblivious to the whole matter and doesn't like speaking of it, for despite understanding his reasons, it still hurts her.
Persephone was particularly displeased with his affair with a woman named Maria di Angelo, a mortal who bore two of his children, Bianca and Nico. It seemed as though her husband truly had feelings for the woman, and despite her husband's feelings over her death, Persephone was always secretly pleased by her demise and upset that Hades had managed to save his demigod children and placed them safely in the Lotus Casino. Still, Persephone would not complain much. Just before Maria was attacked, the brothers had made an oath not to sire more demigod children and it eased Persephone's mind and heart a bit, though she knew just because mortals were ruled out wouldn't stop any of the brothers from enjoying themselves.
Still, when Zeus sired Thalia Grace and Poseidon had Percy Jackson and Jupiter came around to having Jason Grace, Persephone was nearly as angry as her husband with the brothers breaking their oath, especially since she trusted her husband and knew him well enough to know that he would never do such a thing. Of course, it was never in her nature to stay angry long or hold grudges, and she spent most of her time trying to keep her husband calm. She was mildly irritated when Hades had his two children released from the Lotus casino, and couldn't help but to be slightly pleased with the death of Bianca. Nico has since steadily grown on her, though she still finds it hard to consider him her step son, and even turned him into a dandelion during a mild family spat.
Shortly before the second Titan war, Persephone began secretly and illegally had a sword forged for her husband to "equalize the power of the Big Three." It was forged from one of her husband's keys which allowed people into and out of the Underworld. When it was stolen, she gathered the aid of Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Nico di Angelo (a child each from one of the Big Three) to retrieve the sword, giving them a yellow carnation to point them in the right direction of the thief and that all of the petals will have fallen when he had escaped. The three eventually bring the sword back to her husband and herself and she was not very surprised, yet still irritated by his anger and his threatening her to never disobey him again. She was perhaps angry for a longer time than usual, but found it forever impossible to stay such a way for long.
As the war began and it was summertime, Persephone was unable to return to Earth with her mother and instead was convinced by her husband that they were better off with him, that they would survive in the Underworld a good few years after the fall of Olympus. Demeter was always pointing out negative things and calling Hades all sorts of names and going on and on in such a manner that both annoyed and amused her. When Nico brought Percy to them, Persephone was hardly happy with the mentioning of that woman (Maria di Angelo) and did her best to convince her husband not to kill Percy and that she liked heroes for their bravery and almost argued against locking him up, but thought better of it and said nothing.
For a time, Persephone remained in the Underworld with her mother and husband, secretly pleased to have them both at the same time, despite all of the arguing. She was even more thrilled when Hades agreed to join the war and Hades, Persephone, and Demeter all rode in in a chariot as reinforcements against Kronos. They managed to win and Persephone was pleased for her husband for the recognition of the other gods who agreed to show more respect, recognizing him more along with his children. Persephone was mildly upset to learn that Percy Jackson had caused the oath to be no more, but said nothing more on the matter. Things returned to normal with Persephone visiting her mother and her husband during the times of the year that is theirs.
Recently things have gotten out of control again with so many unclaimed demigods popping up. The worst, though, came when her son Jesmar fell in love with the goddess Danica and chose to accompany her to Earth during her banishment. Persephone was upset, even more so when Hades drove them away and she was certain his doing so would mean she would never see her beloved son again.========================================
