Overview

Profile

Persephone is the daughter of Aphrodite, though the exact circumstances of her birth are obscured. Aphrodite claims they created the child themselves, but rumors abound that Persephone was born of an illicit union between Aphrodite and another deity, although who exactly varies with each telling.

Persephone, Goddess of Flowers, is one of the weakest and youngest deities. Her domain earns her little respect, and many view her as little more than a glorified flower nymph, as she barely has the power to qualify as a deity.

She is also known as Goddess of the Pomegranate, as she created the pomegranate tree. This title is often used derogatorily, with the implication that creating the pomegranate tree is the only thing she ever has or will accomplish.

Depictions

Appearance

Persephone is often depicted as being made entirely from flowers.

Holy Symbol

Persephone's followers are few and far between. Most of her followers are druids and botanists, although they rarely take efforts to reveal their devotion. According to one follower, this is in solidarity with the goddess's desire to move through the world unrecognized.

Influences

Goals

Persephone desires to separate herself from the rumors of her birth and weakness. She spends much of her time wandering The Feywild and The Material Plane in disguise, seeking to live a life free from rumors and judgement.

Divine Relationships

Persephone and Aphrodite have a strained relationship. She is close with Hestia and Orbon, although her relationship with her parent has caused Hestia no small amount of fustration.
