Persephone

Origin 

Persephone is a member of the Spinsterhood, an organization of warrior women who are trained to battle the evil Tyrant. She was a rival of Ganymede, but proved more skilled and earned her triple stripes, which are worn on her cheeks. After Tyrant’s seeming defeat, he fled to the edges of the universe. The Spinsterhood went into hibernation until he returned. Tyrant returned much later than expected. Ganymede awoke to find herself the only surviving member. Persephone was reincarnated by Jakar in order to get Ganymede to assist in stealing one of Tyrant’s globes in order for him to defeat the Stranger. She was very displeased that Ganymede had given up her hunt for Tyrant and was with a man, the Jack of Hearts. Although once rivals, they formed an alliance and were able to steal a globe from Tyrant. But Jakar betrayed them and did not allow them to face Tyrant as promised. Jakar continued to use them and lead them on a trail to find Tyrant, who unknown to them had been destroyed.
