'''Background'''
Persephone was the daughter of a university professor, one specialising in medieval history and culture, the other in Greek mythology and literature. It was natural, therefore, that she would grow up to be interested in history and also in fantasy (her father abandoned the family shortly after his daughter was born). Her mother encouraged her in this and ran the very first game of D&D she ever participated in. All this, plus her high intelligence meant that her few friends were considered outcasts by the local school's students. She didn't let this bother her, however, joining social groups that shared her interests. This included the SCA, which she joined shortly after she became a teenager: she spent a great deal of time learning to fight, encouraged by her mother who wanted her to participate in at least one type of sport, for her health as well as to make sure that she didn't become too introverted. That led her to become interested in sewing, so she could make her own medieval-style clothing to wear to SCA events, cooking (so she could bring medieval-style foods to those events), and also singing and playing musical instruments (medieval ones of course: she particularly likes the lute).

Recently, her mother received a promotion that led to her spending even less time at home, so Persephone has become pretty self sufficient, making her own meals and sewing her own clothes. She hasn't made any firm career plans, although she is taken with the idea of becoming an archaeologist specialising in medieval and dark ages sites.
