Lieutenant PersephonePersephone is about my height, 5"3 1/2 or 160cm. Short she may be, but she possesses strength and competence.
She has long dark brown hair with natural multi-tones of rose- gold, gold and darker brown strands, that just trails down her back to her waist .(Incidently I once had very long hair about five yahrens ago and I guess I wanted Pers to have that sort of coiffure too). (Very reminiscent of Serina's crowning glory back in 1978.)
Eyes: green, that seem to sparkle like emeralds.
She was raised by a Siress from the age of five after she was orphaned. So, Persephone learned all things in beauty culture from Siress Europa's influence and glamour.
Persephone always maintains her appearance with perfectly shaped eyebrows, and a tasteful amount of make-up. She is a very lovely looking woman.
Skin: fair and smooth.
Her voice is soft and mellow but clear and pronounced.
Her body type is slim and slender but well proportioned.
She gives the impression she seems to walk on air as though she were gliding when she's seen passing through the corridors, and other men can't help but notice her. Persephone is often quite oblivious to the admiration she seems to attract from the opposite gender. (gee it's been quiet without Lieutenant Artus! LOL!)
She has eyes only for one though. Occasionally Persephone may indulge in enjoying compliments and the attention, but she would never make a big deal of it. She takes everything in her stride. Proper manners and etiquette was bestowed upon from her from her adopted mother.
You will see her dressed in her uniform and it will be impeccably clean and pressed. She's a bit of a perfectionist and takes great care in paying attention to all the details to her appearance and the impression she gives out to others. Especially as a colonial warrior. She's proud to be in the position she is now in with the colonial military and Callisto's Gold Squadron.
However,when she is off duty, Persephone will often take the opportunity to wear her civilian clothing.
She has many beautiful dresses, outfits, shoes, and some valuable jewellery, having been raised among the elite class of the Fleet.
She still has an eye for colonial style and fashion!
And to give just a little more insight in what to recognize when meeting or running into Persephone, a few words on her past is mentioned here.
If she's just passed through the hall, you may even smell her signature fragron(fragrance/perfume) wafting delicately in the area you are now entering yourself. Due to her past working closely with Siress Europa's long time legacy and business in fragrons, "Star Scents", that were well known all over the colonies.
The young Lieutenant still has a case of fragron decanters and samples with her on board.
Nowadays, her old business partner on the Rising Star took over running the boutique that was left to Persephone after Europa passed away. But when Persephone signed up as a warrior on the Callisto, she gave up her old life and much of the work to leave in the capable hands of her partner, and almost sister-in-law, Damiana.
"Mimosa Dream" is her personal favourite and often worn.
She carries all the hallmarks of good breeding, and that may stick out like a Nubian Sun to others on the Callisto. She may seem to you that she doesn't belong in a warrior's uniform and is too delicate to be a warrior, but you'll soon learn, she's doesn't take much felgercarb. Persephone is quite strong in her character and can be as tough as nails maybe even a little reckless when the occasion calls for it. (a character trait gene inherited, from who? You'll find out in future!)So don't be misled by her feminine softness and friendly charm, which is all her, but don't think for a centon that you can get away with anything.
If you frack with her, you'll be dealt with in her own way that will send you back to your quarters feeling like you have a colonial pin or two stuck where it hurts.
But she is very discreet and would never make a scene. Persephone simply knows how to make you rise up to her level. She will never sink to yours.
Persephone is also a very loyal friend, and will collaborate in a team excellently.
She's an all-round stunning and intelligent woman, and you'll notice her, and her smile that radiates from within.
Triton didn't stand a chance when he met her. He's hooked!
Hope this aids everyone equally in being able to recognize the young lieutenant who carries the name sake of the ancient Spring Goddess.
