Persephone
1. Goddess of Spring and Underworld
2. Persephone was the beautiful greek goddess who was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest). She was picking flowers one day when Hades, god of the Underworld, saw her and fell instantly in love with her. He then abducted her and took her to the Underworld with him (other interpretations say he raped her, but I don't think so). She was clearly not happy there since she missed her mother and wanted to go back home. He agreed to this and tricked her into eating a pomegranate. She ate six seeds of the pomegranate which bounded her to the Underworld for six months (fall and winter) and the other six months she spent with her mother (spring and summer). She later became Hades' wife which gave her the title of Queen/Goddess of the Underworld.
(This is only one of the Hades and Persephone interpretations)

Perseus Jackson
Perseus is more commonly known as Percy Jackson. He acts as the narrator in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, or PjO. (I highly recommend those books btw) Percy, in the fandom, is also know as Persassy Jackson for his sass. He is a demigod, which is basically half-mortal (human), half-Greek/Roman god/godess. His father is Poseidon, the Greek deity of the sea. He also appears in the Heroes of Olympus series, Magnus Chase series and Trials of Apollo series as well.
"Poseidon," said Chiron. "Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. Hail , Perseus Jackson, Son of the Sea God."

Persephone
Persephone is a lovely girl with a big heart. She's shy at first but once you get to know her, you'll end up loving her. She is drop dead gorgeous and every guy would gawk at her. Only one man could steal her heart and make her his. She's a powerful and vibrant girl, almost like goddess.
Guy 1: Wow...she's so beautiful. Do you think she would ever go for a guy like me?
Guy 2: Keep dreaming, that's Persephone. Everyone want her to fall for them.
Guy 1: *sighs* She's a walking goddess. Any guy who gets her would be so damn lucky.
