Editing Persephone Lapis (section)

==Details==

===Details===
*Pronouns - She / her
*Persephone's clothes are close-fitting and woven out of silk, in dark blues, greens and black.  
*Persephone's eyes are large, deep and piercing, formed from facets so small that they aren't readily obvious as such.  In human terms their appearance is like a large dark pupil surrounded by blue
*When she prepared to go off to study with human tutors, Persephone molted from a grubling into a form that would appear more normal and aesthetic to non-faeries.  Her form is long and limber with elegant butterfly-like wings patterned in black and blue; she has grown a mane of overlapping chitinous growth that from a distance looks like black hair, but on closer examination is closer to feathers.  
*Her features are narrow and elegant and pale, a translucent white with dustings of blue scales along her jawline and brow.
*Persephone's manner is very much that of the analytical academic when confronted with a problem or new discovery, although she's easy to fluster.

===Background===
* ''What responsibilities did your community once count on you for?  How did you let them down?''
** My aptitude for magic was identified when I was still a grubling, and it was expected that when I had mastered my Art I would return to brood many offspring and improve the magical potential of the swarm.  After studying with the scholars in Clearharbor and developing a passion for studying the natural world, I opted not to return and to join with the Wildwardens... for now.
* ''You've spent your life searching for a book or object of great significance.  What is it, and why is it so important to you?''
** My studies made it clear that my home swarm and the other major faerie enclaves each first arose from a Hive of genetic and magical potential.  Old and fragmentary writings from long-ago naturalists suggest that in a primeval age there was a lost Great Hive of which the others are colonies and offshoots.  There are many mutually exclusive clues as to the location of the Great Hive; Rekin's Refuge is one possible location but details are so scant that there are many other equally promising leads.  I am in the course of building my master's thesis around the Great Hive theory, so finding some solid evidence to advance her thesis is a continuing preoccupation.
* ''You have a powerful rival.  Who are they, and why are you so determined to defeat them?'''
** Ren Trefaran is a highly placed human academic and sorcerer among the Clearharbor faculty -- a loreborne Primal sorcerer.  He was initially my assigned faculty adviser before we discovered that we didn't work well together.  (He disliked my adoption of a humanlike appearance, among other things.)  He has a wide range of contacts among the commercial interests that threaten Rekin's Refuge and has a number of projects in the works for ways to domesticate and exploit the Refuge, reshaping or destroying the natural habitats of many creatures in order to harvest them.

===Connections===
* ''What favor have I asked of you that you're not sure you can fulfill?''
**  Rube - "You asked me to, if all else fails and we can do nothing more, protect the cocoon of the Great Golden Moth until the Moth itself emerges in its imago of glory. But I failed those who depended on me once before..."
* ''What weird hobby or fascination do we both share?''
**  Ezekien - "Seph and me? Well, we met when we were both stalking the same barghest. Or more accurately, I tripped over her because I was too focused on shadowstepping to realize someone who was also still was there. Weird actually being friends with a fae after they're the source of why I'm not human anymore, but...well, she gets me. She gets why I just like...being at peace and watching. Both my man and cat sides."
* ''What secret about yourself have you entrusted only to me?''
**
