๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โฆ Percy, Perseus, Purse any variation will do, just donโt use her actual name. Itโs already confusing and, frankly, annoying to be named after the wrong Greek figure. {Yes, itโs also ironic that sheโs accidentally named after the title character from the original book, but I swear itโs completely accidental Iโm reusing a character that has the same name)

๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โฆ The Goddess of Love decided to claim Percy the day that she got her heart broken. It was a few weeks before the end of junior year of high school, and after being broken up with, Aphrodite blessed her with a complete wardrobe change in the middle of the girlโs bathroom. Percy walked out seemingly glowing, radiating a beauty that she hadnโt experienced before. Everyone, including her ex, stared.
Her ex also might have been cursed with smelling like onions for the next year and a half...๐๐๐ โฆ 22

Thereโs the part of Persephone that is rich-bitch, glamor-puss, โI-only-wear-designer,โ and then there is the other part that believes in the redistribution of wealth, teamwork, and defending others. Either side is an utter bad bitch. Neither will stand for injustice or disrespect. One just happens to spend thousands on useless goods and the other hates herself for it. She still struggles with compromising between the two identities, and they make a bunch of drama. Unfortunately, Percy thrives off the chaos, attracting those types of people and exhibiting the types of crazy behaviors that make her feel alive. She doesnโt like personal drama, just the superficial, everything-is-happening-all-at-once type. Punching a guy who wolf-whistled at her or some other poor sap? Hell yes! Getting into an argument with a friend over how it โisnโt her placeโ? Not so much.
Persephone naturally stands up to everyone who threatens the peace of an individual. โEveryone has their own bullshit to deal with, donโt make it any worse by being f!cking rude!โ Sheโd take a bullet for probably any stranger. This upsets some people, and sheโs made some enemies because of it, but itโs her whole-hearted belief that the world is an eye for an eye, and she should protect those the world wants to blind. If you think her loyalty and support for strangers is a bit much, imagine being her friend. Some could call her caring to a fault, almost to the point of overbearing, but itโs simply because she takes her role within peopleโs lives seriously. She knows it doesnโt mean much, but everything from complimenting a stranger on their outfit to helping a friend through an emotional crisis makes her feel wanted, needed, and deserving of a place on this planet.
That doesnโt mean shes super dependent. In fact, Percy can easily stand on her own in any battle and often does. Being the only goth kid in the Aphrodite cabin certainly makes her stand apart, especially when all her designer clothes are black or deep purple. Thankfully, Percy has always been able to befriend almost anyone with a well-timed compliment or box of chocolates. Gregarious to the end, Persephone knows how to find a friend and hold them close. According to her, once youโre her friend, youโre family.

The Perez family is a competitive one. Adonis and Persephone havenโt gone a day without attempting to one-up each other in hopes of winning their fatherโs affections. With their mom (wellโฆ Adonisโ mom and technically Percyโs stepmom, but Nicoletta doesnโt exactly need to know thatโฆ) married to a hot young twenty-something by the time the siblings were 8, their only parentโs attention means a lot. This is why Percy becomes Persephone around her father- a normal girl with a penchant for graphic eyeliner who isnโt as outspoken. If he ever heard of her ideas about wealth redistribution, heโd give her a speech about how hard he worked to have the status and financial stability to support her constant shopping sprees, much less her existence. Even if sheโs been mostly supporting herself financially for the past three years with money she earns from her Depop store and gigs with her band. On top of their ideological differences, Adonis is the favorite. The oldest, the most loved, and the one who never hears an ounce of regret when the General speaks to him.
However, the father-daughter duo has their good moments, especially when it comes to business and the arts of war and romancing the ladies. Heโs never doubted her and often pushes her farther than Adonis. In fact, it was Jason Perez who encouraged her to try out for the track team, pushed her to open her store with her custom designs (ever wanted a corset? Call Percy), and even the one who made her go to Camp Half-Blood the summer after she was claimed. He has his humorous moments where one can see where the sarcasm Persephone brandishes boldly peak through. The two may not be especially close in terms of views, interests, or ability to impress each other, but they have incredibly similar personalities. It also means they butt-heads a lot. A give and take, unfortunately.
As for Adonis, theyโre a bit of a mixed bag. Before their mother left, they were close. The Perez sibling-branded roughhousing was simply play-fighting. It became more serious once their father began to show his affection through compliments on someoneโs form or how many points they could earn. The two of them became highly competitive. Same with the General, Adonis and Persephone have their moments. Now that theyโre older, the fights between them have lessened and they avoid each other. Any problems between them are more so related to unresolved issues. That doesnโt mean they really have any conversations that matter thoughโฆ
Letโs back up, for a minute, to look at the beginnings of the Perez family. A successful, recently retired Marine colonel (letโs not talk about why heโs called the General) and perhaps a touch of stolen diamonds richer (that may or may not have been acquired Oceans 11-style using Jason Perezโs skills as a covert soldier), Jason met his future wife in the middle of nowhere, sitting in a bar in Arizona. Nicoletta and Jason married on the eve of Adonisโ birth, a mere year after their meeting. It wasnโt a conventional way to do things, but they had stars in their eyes and the wind beneath their wings. Their marriage, although discussed anticipated, was sped up due to Adonis-incoming.While the first few years were peaceful, the General hadnโt exactly fully lived out his outlaw life before jumping into a marriage where he had to settle down, give up combat and living life on the edge in favor of becoming a military strategist all before the age of 50. Nicoletta also hadnโt considered the world of opportunities that awaited her. Ultimately, their marriage turned sour and strained, particularly after Jasonโs infidelity, ending mutually not long into Persephoneโs life. Afterward, the General never considered remarrying despite having several significant others over the years, never quite over the imprint Aphrodite left on his brain. The Perez siblings donโt know any of them, of course, considering the General keeps each one far away from his children. While trying to protect his children and raise them with high ambitions and ability to succeed, he pushed them into a plethora of after school activities, throwing tutors and pounds of money onto his childrenโsโ problems instead of asking them what they needed. That brings us to modern-day Persephone, who became a goth, DIY queen in search of feeling more like herself and to get her father to notice her. Unfortunately, this didnโt work. At least they can both bond over their mutual frustration with Nicolettaโฆ

โข โข Secretly, a hopeless romantic but itโs those goddamn commitment issues
โข โข Known to not get up until well past 1 pm and not go to sleep until 7 a.m.
โข โข Super knowledgeable in Pink Floyd and Joy Division's histories as bands and is known to info-dump about them, unprovoked, after 3 a.m.
โข โข Obsessed with old video games and ones from the mid 2000s. Buy her anything Kirby or Sonic related and she's yours forever.
โข โข Believes in spreading "positivity" and is known to wish someone "good vibes" when she's on her way to finally fall asleep at 8:30.
โข โข Big on cuddling, especially platonically
โข โข Those tarot readings on her tiktok's For You page trip her up daily
โข โข Bubble tea drinker
โข โข Masterful with a butterfly knife due to her middle school emo experience
โข โข Owns a bedazzled mini-pistol that matches her Trisha Paytas-level bedazzled, white holster. Still, itโs likely in her designer handbag, waiting to break the nose of someone who decided to get handsy with the wrong gal.
โข โข Speaking of which, "One of the Boys" by Katy Perry defines her 7th grade experience and she only will discuss it when someone finds the picture of her in a pair of Lulu Lemmon leggings and a crop top that's on her old public Instagram she can't seem to report out of existence.
โข โข Listens to male manipulator music without meaning to. It's just how she is. Still loves goth music (Bauhaus is her favorite), but it is an unfortunate truth.
โข โข Owns a skateboard for show and claims it will be her weapon when the zombie apocalypse comes. Also collects soup cans and claims it will be her true weapon and only necessary food source (despite giving a weekly self-defense class ??)
โข โข Has an obsession with teeth; if you're her friend, Percy will ask you for one of your baby teeth to add to her necklace
โข โข Ace at chess
โข โข Bad. Bitch. Energy. But in a cute way! She enjoys the way her close friends will tell her that she seemed intimidating at first but turned out to be confident and fiercely caring. While she can seem like a bit of a floater, it's far from the truth. Her father prefers her attachments to be shallow, but it simply isn't the way Persephone rolls. Though she's one to extend a flirtatious compliment to someone in the hallway or help a classmate verbally obliterate a catcaller, there's always a huge space in her heart for her friends and those she holds near to her heart. Even her father, whose passionate advice is a turn-off, is someone she'd take a bullet for.
โข โข Persephone adores statement pieces and spending hours on her makeup just to get the perfect ~look~ for the day. Even when she's got monster-fighting to do. However, she runs out of setting spray every week.
โข โข Designer, designer, designer. She can't help but love expensive things, despite following the fashions of a subculture influenced by DIY culture. It may not be made by her, but at least they're handmade!
โข โข If you've pissed off anyone she knows, you're on The List of Spectacular Deaths Yet To Be Planned. If you've hurt Persephone, on the other hand, she might simply pretend you didn't just ruin her day (really, it's her week because she can't let anything go). Unless you're a hater and not a friend. Then, she'll hip-check you into the wall and call it a day.
โข โข Typical Siouxsie stan and attempts to re-vamp her overall look with Persephone's own tastes.
โข โข Owns a shirt that says "A bit dramatic" on it.
โข โข Desperately wants to be a good person and works really hard at it๐ธ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ
