 ( GODDESS OF SPRING ✿ QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD )I step across the line for you
I plunge myself in mortal sin
I sacrifice my soul to be your bride
I give into the feelings I can't hide
I leave my guilt behind
Who cares if love is blind?
The certainty is bliss
At last I know my mind
We'll live our lives and then
We'll live them once again
There's always a tomorrow
There's always a tomorrow
There's always one more night...

ｏ ｇｒｅａｔ ↘↘
Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.
ｈｅｓｉｏｄ ｈａｓ ｃａｌｌｅｄ ｍｅ ｔｈｉｓ ↘↘
Core, Cura, Khthonia, Karpophoros, Soteira, Megala Thea, Hagne, Daera, Praxidice, and my Roman names included Proserpina, Juno Inferna, Averna, and Stygia.
ｉｔ ｓｈｏｕｌｄ ｂｅ ｏｂｖｉｏｕｓ ↘↘
I am a goddess, thank the heavens.
ｉｔ ｄｏｅｓ ｈｅｌｐ ｗｉｔｈ ｔｈｅ ｍｏｒｔａｌｓ ↘↘
I take on a youthful appearance, though a little less so than my mother. I try to take on an appearance in my late teens, early twenties, with light brown hair with honey-colored highlights woven in to make it even lighter, and I have a healthy mix of being pale and being tan. My eyes are a dark, earthy brown, though I can change them to the colors of any flower if I so wish. I have taken a liking to sun dresses, though I could always go for a long skirt or a nice cocktail dress. In the Underworld, I tend to wear black, because I've noticed that Hades seems to prefer it.
ｂｏｗ ｄｏｗｎ↘↘
I am the Goddess of the Spring, and the Queen of the Underworld; Hades' Only Wife.

xxxxxxxxxxxxTHEtree'sLEAVESareTORNlikeOURhistory  ｃａｎ'ｔ ｌｉｖｅ ｗｉｔｈｏｕｔ ｔｈｅｍ ↘↘ Well, everyone knows that my mother is Demeter, but it's a little less-known that my father was Zeus. I hate that fact, most of the time. I inherited the powers of Spring, and nothing from my father. That's all well and good, but I feel so awful for Hera. I know how it feels for your husband to cheat on you, though I think Amphitrite and Hera have it a little easier than I do... ｐｌａｙｉｎｇ ｎｉｃｅ ↘↘ Well, I don't have any full siblings, but you could consider any Demeter or Zeus campers, as well as Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Hephaestus, and Hercules among my siblings. I really can never remember all of my siblings. Oh! And Dionysus is my sibling too. I always forget him... ｈａｖｉｎｇ ｍｙ ｅｙｅｓ ↘↘ Well, I very rarely turn to mortal men (and when I do, they tend to take after Hades in appearance), and I have had very few demigod children, but I do have a few children with Hades, which include Zaggreus and Iacchus. Well, I can't say that. Zeus disguised himself as Hades and came to me a few times. Since then, I have never actually trusted the form of Hades that comes to me in the springtime. I still suspect that it's Zeus... ｈｅａｒｔ ｈｅａｒｔ ↘↘ Quite obviously, I am married to Hades. Otherwise, I wouldn't really be the goddess of the Underworld, would I? I am in love with my husband, though his cheating sometimes completely throws me for a loop. ｂｒｅａｋｉｎｇ ａｒｍｓ↘↘ Well, at times, I do want to throw Hades from Olympus. When he cheats on me, he tends to spend the time with his current "companion", and I wind up in the Underworld alone through a full winter. He turns away people with messages, and I just sit alone without any form of passion or happiness in the cold, lonely world of the dead.
The second person I want to throw from Olympus is myself. I have caused so much trouble for Hades, and also for Hera. I truly can't approach Hera, because I am her husband's illegitimate child. How can I face her, knowing that? I just feel shameful every time I'm in her presence. I often think it would be better if I hadn't existed in the first place, you know...?

xxxxxxxxxxxxLIVEforeverWITHme ｗａｎｔ ｔｈｅｍ ↘↘ I like Hades, the asphodel fields of the Underworld, spending time with my husband, the spring's fresh flowers, my mother, Demeter, and being able to see Hades in ways no one else can. ｇｏ ｄｉｅ ↘↘ Hades' consorts, Hades' children, autumn, being alone in the Underworld, being alone in general, the pain of being aboveground in winter, coldness, fire, and seeing others in pain. ｈａｖｉｎｇ ｐｅｒｋｓ ↘↘ I'm usually a bright, sunny person. I try to make others feel better, even if it's at my own cost. I always smile, I always laugh, even when it hurts. When I'm upset with Hades, I wait until I'm alone to let myself cry, to let myself be upset. I never let my mother know how I always feel, because she would blame Hades, and I don't want that to happen; it will cause another war. I find that it's easier to keep everything in, and just wait. I go to the Fields of Asphodel, or I find a field where the flowers will speak to me, and will keep my secrets safe from my mother. I don't want my mother to know, I don't want Hades to know. I don't want anyone to know. I just want to be able to feel a little less...oh, I guess the word is cumbersome...? ｇｏｉｎｇ ｂａｃｋ ↘↘ Like I said, my parents were Zeus and Demeter, and for a long while, I lived a carefree life. Apparently, Hades was complaining to Zeus that he was lonely and wanted a wife, since Poseidon and Zeus both had wives, and Zeus suggested that Hades take me. Of course, my mother nor I heard anything about this, and I got kidnapped. Of course, I love Hades now, but back then, I was terrified. He set me down, and in hindsight, I could see he was trying to be sweet, but like I said, I was terrified. It was a while later, when my mother was freezing over the Earth, that I was discovered by Hermes. Hades turned to me, and told me that I would pack my things and go, but there was a sadness in him. A loneliness that I could see, and I made what everything thinks was a mistake. I went upstairs to pack, but I took a pomegranate from the bowl on the table and ate it, swallowing six seeds. I could feel the magic of the fruit taking hold. Hades had warned me once against eating food from the Underworld, for it would forever bind me to the Underworld. Perhaps that was the first sacrifice of many that I would ever make for my husband.
I allowed my mother to think what she wanted, to think he had tricked me. A compromise was reached, allowing me to suffer the pain of being aboveground during the spring and summer, and when it grew too painful to bear, I would return to the Underworld with my husband, who I slowly found myself falling for, the more time I spent with him. In the course of my rule of the Underworld, I have granted mortals favors when they have managed to get to me. The first favor I granted put me on Thanatos' bad side - I freed Sisyphus. You see, I wanted to let him say goodbye to his wife. Of course, I didn't know that he would try to stay up there! Thanatos was the idiot the second time around, considering he got himself locked up in chains. So, I didn't screw him over that time.
Then there was Orpheus. When he played his beautiful music, I managed to convince Hades to let him have his wife, on the condition that he never looked behind him. Of course, humans never trust my husband. I did what I could do, but Orpheus never got his wife...And then, there is Alkestis. She died for her husband, and that loyalty got to me, so I smuggled her out of the Underworld. Thanatos is still mad at me, because he got outsmarted again. Perseus and Pirithous were two demigods who really annoyed me; my cousin and my brother. My brother, Pirithous, tried to rape me at one point, so Hades had him and Theseus bound beneath the Earth. When Heracles came on his labor, he pulled Theseus free, but when he tried to pull Pirithous free, I asked Hades to make the ground shake, and Pirithous was left to rot. Then there was Aphrodite. She was always pompous, looking to outdo everyone, and for some reason, she had convinced herself that I had some beauty cream. So she sent Psyche to the Underworld, telling her to sit on the floor (I seriously don't know why everyone must be so rude!) and ask for coarse bread. I granted her wish, though, and upon the explanation of the task, I decided it was the perfect time to play a prank on Aphrodite.
Of course it backfired!
Divine beauty cream? I put in the sleep of my husband; a dead sleep. I figured it might give me a century or so of peace from Aphrodite! Of course, Psyche had to open the box and get herself caught in that sleep. Eris freed her, and I was a bit miffed that my trick didn't work.
