a. Bridgie asked me to. She had plot ideas, the whole thing with the white stag and whatnot, and we needed a villain to blame that stuff on. I'm apparently better at playing villains so I agreed to come up with something. It took me a few weeks to get the character concept down, and then some AU notebook games to get her character rounded.
b. Persephone is very intelligent, and fiercely defends the things she believes in. She's a midwife before all else and very protective towards children and most women.
c. Persephone has a harsh view of the world, and it's one that does not mesh with Courtney's. She sees Night Things as more like animals than people.
d. Unfortunately Persephone is very hard for me to write. I don't play female characters much, and she's really a die-hard feminist, and it's a stretch for me.
e. There's an Au thing in a notebook with Persephone meeting a little-used character of Bridgie's named Jezebel. Jez is a teenage girl who basically practices witchcraft in an older, more raw form like Persphy does. They got along well, although the game didn't get real far.
f. She's still around, and she needs to come back and cause more trouble. Courtney & Co. still don't know who was behind the white stag and I'd like all that to get resolved someday, but Bridgie's been taking a break and I've been lazy with her. There was a brief canon RP where she and Courtney met. I think it would be really cool for Courtney to get to know her a little, maybe even like her a little, and then find out she was behind the Night things being drained and Aloysius de-aged and all.
