Personality: Persephone isn’t a quiet girl, nor is she shy. She’s big and she knows it and she flaunts it. She takes pride in everything she does and tries not to let other peoples judgments cloud her own. She’s a social girl and is always hanging out with her friends. she doesn’t like to be alone, it reminds her to much of being at home and that was the last place she wanted to be. She’s friendly to most people but keeps her guard up. She knows there are friends and fake friends, she can tell the difference between the two.
When it comes down to it Persy is incredibly insecure and uses her friends as a security blanket. Being alone gives her time to reflect on the things she’s done and who she is as a person. She doesn’t like thinking back on the past, especially not her home life, and she just wants to move forward and think about her new life. Persephone is artistically inclined with charcoal, she loves art and loves feeling the ash in her fingers. She expresses everything through art and her sketch book varies from dark to happy to sad to angry. She makes a habit of creating one piece of work a day instead of keeping a diary.
Persephone has never been in love. She’s had maybe two boyfriends in her lifetime and she didn’t feel connected to them the way she believed was love. She’s seen fake love between her dad and step-mother. Her notion of love comes from fairytales and books. Persephone is looking for her soul mate and isn’t afraid to go through a few duds before she finds the real thing. She wants an instant connection with someone when they meet for the for the first time, a spark, like the red string of fate is pulling her to this person.
Likes: going out, loud music, dancing, gossip, being with friends, large crowds, shopping, boots, boys, cats, tea, anything organic, roses, campfires
Dislikes: gossip about her, liars, cheaters, birds, coffee, pop, mirrors, scales, snide comments, thunder storms, being alone,
Fears: not surviving the change, being forever alone, breaking her hand sor spraining her wrist
Powers: Lie Detection – Persy has the affinity to tell a lie from the truth, it may seem like a very minor affinity but it’s very useful especially when she has serious questions. Her affinity cannot be turned on or off, it’s simply something that happens. She used to think it was just her intuition but it was so much more. When someone tells a lie a pins and needles feeling crawls across her skin. If it’s a big lie it can be very painful, but something small like a white lie will feel so minor sometimes Persephone doesn’t register it happening at all. She discovered this affinity during her fifth former year when she asked her boyfriend at the time if he was cheating on her. He said no and the pins and needles came viciously
History: Persephone was born in Chicago. She knows all about the house of night and was raised in a family who despised them. Her mother died giving birth to Persephone so she never actually knew of her. Her step-mother came in when Persy was three and she can’t imagine a time without her. Of course at the time Persephone was Charlotte and Charlie hated her life. Her step-mother was an ex model and currently ran a modelling agency so she was all about the looks, her father was a lawyer who could care less about his daughters feelings. She was raised in a very lavish and cold house where coming home was to be met with barrage of verbal lashings about her weight and looks and attitude. Through it all Charlie tried to stay positive, she even took up art to help her express herself. She’s a very nonviolent person and prefers artistic expression opposed to physical expression.
When she started her grade freshman year of high school she made it through the first week without drama, she even managed to make quite a few friends and felt normal for once. She hung out and studied and gossiped and shopped like any other teenager... until the tracker showed up. She was at the mall with a group of friends and they were going to see a movie. Charlotte hadn’t been feeling well at all but going out was a hell of a lot better than staying at home, while in line the tracker came his speech caught her off guard, she was completely out of breathe and after he touched her forehead she passed out and thunked her head rightfully hard on the floor.
When she came to she was in the back seat of her step-mothers car with a single suitcase. Her step-mother was furious and gave Charlotte the worst verbal lashing of her life, screaming about how she disgraced her family that it had taken three men to put her into the car about how she was a freak and how she would never go anywhere in life. Charlie felt awful physically and emotionally so she just took it. The worst was her step-mother telling her that she was no longer a part of their family and that she was completely on her own from there on out. Charlotte wanted to cry but knew only worse would come if she did.
Charlotte was dropped off at the school, her things thrown out of the car and her step-mother drove off. She felt like breaking down. She was thankfully greeted by a Vampyre at the door, brought in, and had several things explained to her. She was given the option of changing her name. Charlie didn’t hesitate to change it to Persephone Ophelia Murdock. She used her middle name as her first name and took her mother’s name and her mother’s maiden name. For once things felt right.
She was taken to her dorm and found herself settling in, later that evening she received a call from her father saying that despite the turn of events she would not be cut off from her family, that there would be deposits into her bank account but that was all he could do for her. She wound up breaking down again before passing out. She met her roommate after classes had been let out and became quick friends with her. It made things a lot easier, going to classes finding her way around the school and for the first year it was great. She received the odd call from her dad and managed to get her life sorted. She still found herself hating her own image and being alone terrified her.
Her fourth former year was when a white Manx showed up in her dorm room, sitting on her bed. One eye green and the other blue. She felt instantly that it was her cat and she named him Charlie, it was the better thing that happened that year.
During her fifth former year Persephone was dating a boy in her grade, he was cute and artistic and very good at fencing. She thought they were happy together until she heard rumours of him sneaking around with a sixth former girl. When she confronted him about he lied straight to her face, her entire body prickled with pins and needles and she knew he was a liar. It was the first time her affinity had shown it’s face. Needless to say they were through without another explanation.
It’s now her sixth former year at the house of night and she’s working hard at trying to live. She’s been taking care of her body and working out. She’s been eating right and doing all her school work. This was the first year she actually decided to leave school grounds. Before she had been too terrified that she’d run into someone she knew from when she was human or her step-mother. She’s been able to get over her past life, but she’s retained her insecurities from it. This year is a big year for her... it makes her wonder what the fates have in store.
