Persephone

Persephone is the Greek goddess of spring, life, grain, nature and vegetation. She's a prominent deity within the Greek Pantheon. Persephone is also regarded as "Queen of the Netherworld" (冥界の女王, Meikai no Joō) alongside her husband Hades who is the "King of the Netherworld".

Persephone possesses soft long wavy pale chestnut hair which reaches her waist, decorated with a civic wreath hair piece on the left front side of her hair. The longher parts of her front hair and fringe are twisted around the back of her head and held in place by a number of flowers. Although not many, some of the petals have fallen and is stuck to the bottom part of her hairdo. She's described as a beautiful and alluring women with a figure of a curvy body and an average woman's height, noted to range from 5'3 - 5'9. Though despite this, she is known to look petite beside Hades. She has warm fair rosy skin accompanied by golden yellow eyes along with her long eyelashes and rosy eyeshadow to compliment her appearance. Her lips are in a glossy pink shade which brings out that feature of hers in her appearance. Same goes for her nails which contrasts her husband's black painted ones.

She presents herself in an elegant manner with her attire being shown to be quite formal to match her husband's style, compared to the traditional Greek clothing that is seen to be worn by Aphrodite. Her outfit includes an open chested white gown which fades upwards at the waist till the chest area into black in the form of flower petal patterns, with white frills at the hems of the sleeves and black frills addorned by golden embroidery at the opening of the thigh slit on the right side of the dress, black heels and a red rose with layered cloth in place of the collar area with two golden chains which goes across her chest until attached at her right arm.

While in her "Persephone's Wrath" form, her appearance changes with that of her hair becoming darker, being tainted with a dark blue colour and the scelera of her eyes turning a dark grey. In addition to that, her eyes will begin to shine brightly with a tint of red, signifying the emotion of anger. Red marks will also start appearing on her rosy skin such as the ones forming from her eyes all the way across her cheeks embodying the concept of blood flowing down from her eyes. Her nails will begin to take form in a longer length almost as those of sharp claws and be tinted with a dark red, as if being dipped in blood.

Persephone is a graceful and dignified person. She is also extremely friendly and outgoing as shown being able to get along with other gods as well as being playful with and joking alongside Zeus. Others described her to have a sweet and tender expression on herself. Persephone is a responsible person as despite being mainly the goddess of spring, she still takes on her role in the Netherworld earnestly.

Persephone is known to be considerate to others, such as when she defended Ares from being made fun of from her husband Hades in concern for him and his feelings considering the fact Ares does look up to him. This quality of hers however does not fall short towards that of humans, as she shows great empathy for them and their plight of mankind's destruction.

With this said, she is someone able to stand up for herself and do what she thinks is right, with the fact that she was one of the gods who were against the destruction of humanity. This being that she believes all live forms deserves a chance of living without the divine intervention of any higher beings for its obliteration. One could say that this way of thinking of hers is an optimistical thinking, always seeing things for what they could be and never deameaning anything or anyone without justificated reasons.

Despite her innocent aura, there is a particularly darker side to Persephone's personality, which is her form namingly "Persephone's Wrath". Although once with kind nature, this side of hers is not one to be taken lightly of as she holds the capability of doing something brutal or saying insensitive things in the face of this state of hers which personifies anger and rage. In this form, she is capable of expressing immense hatred towards someone who has done her wrong or is the victim of her anger.

Having said that, she is indeed capable of getting upset normally without the form of "Persephone's Wrath", it just isn't as intense as when that side of her's takes into possession. The example of the feelings of her anger without "Persephone's Wrath" is when she showed her feelings of upset after finding out her husband had lost the seventh round of Ragnarok and had already been sent to Niflhel.

Eventhough she is a person of just, she is not a vengeful one. This can be seen by when feeling grief of her husband's death, she did not choose to seek out revenge on Qin Shi Huang like Adamantine did, but rather chose to forgive him despite feeling contempt towards him at first for taking her husband's life.

Overall Abilities: Persephone who despite not being apart of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, was in no way weak as she was the goddess who held the roles of both Queen of the Netherworld and goddess of spring. As the Queen of the Netherworld, Persephone is quite powerful, more so than a demigod though less so compared to her husband Hades.

Godly Strength: While not as powerful as her husband Hades, Persephone possesses immense physical strength.

Semi-Immortality: As a goddess, Persephone has a limitless lifespan and does not age, in other words is incapable of dying from old age.

Divine Physiology: As a goddess, Persephone possess physical abilities far greater than any ordinary human. Her body can not be harmed by mortal weapons, however she can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.

Chlorokinesis: As the goddess of spring and nature, Persephone has absolute control and divine authority over plant-life forms and flowers of such. She can grow healthy plants rather fast and create flowers out of absolutely nothing.
