--------------------------------------------------------about persephone (tw: death, violence, suicide,)

Persephone is an interesting character. She’s very charming, and on the outside she just seems like a nice unassuming girl. That’s what she wants you to believe, in actuality she’s just as if not more of a cold blooded killer than the average mutant.

She comes from a village where most food was found via hunting and gathering. As a result most of the people in her village had knowledge of self defense as well as weapons. Persephone’s power manifested itself when she was very young, however her strength seemed to scale with age. She began her training when she was very little, and at the time she seemed like an exceptional hunter who was filled with promise. She did excel at her training and did in fact become a strong fighter and a good hunter.

For a time Persephone attempted to keep her powers in check, she did whatever it took to hide her strength. She had begun to suspect that they were the result of a mutation and while she wasn’t sure how her village would respond to her ability she decided she was safer hiding herself.

She was exposed when she ended up in a fight and nearly killed the man she was fighting. By that time, it was clear how her village felt about mutants, they hated and feared them and would kill them without a second thought. Persephone fully expected the same reaction when she was found out.

Instead she was taken away to the village leaders who decided that her power and dedication as a warrior made her the perfect hunter of other mutants. So long as she promised to make it her mission to eliminate all mutants they would allow her to live, Persephone wanted to live of course and she promised to do so.

She was taken away to secret training, where she learned more about fighting mutants (non-human mutants primarily) as well as tracking and manipulation. Eventually when she was deemed ready she was sent out from her village, disguised as just your average mutant who had been exiled. Her goal was to lure other mutants into a false sense of security and slaughter them. In the end, when she has completed her mission she must end herself as well. 

cassie was born into a large family, having her mother, her father, as well as 4 sisters and 3 brothers

her village, Athea - named after the woman who created it, was one that seemed more of a small town. the people that lived there were very bias, looking down on most of the powers, but more ‘high classed’ mutants were very appreciated; cassies power was not a village favorite, so she kept hers a secret.

family is also a huge thing in the village, they are the only people you can depend on unless you work for the council.

her father was apart of the village council, Atheas second-in-command to be exact.

with cassie in a large family, she would often be forgotten so cassie had learned to take care of herself and do things on her own without the helps of others.

she is very independent and very smart. she knows how to get out of messy situation, and even if she doesn’t, she will somehow find a way and won’t need anyones help to get her out.

she accidentally murdered half her family one night, she got mad and began to scream at her family, soon using her telekinesis and in the blink of an eye, her father and mother, two of her sisters, and one of her brothers were laying dead on the ground of their home.

after the word gotten around of what cassie had done, Athea confronted cassie and told her that she is going to be exiled, and cassie was also told that if someone from the village sees her again, she will be hunted and killed.

a few days after cassie was on her own, she met a boy named dixon who helped her survive for awhile and who she managed to fall in love with until they took a trip back to cassies village to see how it was doing, the both of them being caught and ran away before getting captured.

the day after they were caught, cassie came back to find that dixon had been killed as a warning to cassie to stay away from the village. after he was killed, cassie forced herself to not show any emotion that related to love for fear of the other getting killed.

a week after dixons death, cassie came across a small group of others who left their villages as well and she stayed with them, knowing it was better than being on her own.

basically cassie is a broken, independent, clever, caring, brave girl who thinks that she is a monster because of her power.
