Persephone the Dread Queen: Despite popular belief Persephone isn't the Goddess of the Spring, rather this was a title bestowed upon her because Persephone' return from the Underworld symbolized the lessening of Demeter' wrath, leading to the ending of winter and the coming of spring. There are some versions of the mythos having Persephone predating Hades as a ruler of the Underworld by at least a thousand years and giving credit to the belief that the creation of Hades was most likely used as a way to make all the big three male. Persephone also has a lot of stories of her passing judgment on mortals she either favored or hated. Persephone unlike Hades was ruled by her emotions often making her capable of acting without thinking and being capable of being manipulated. This made people who sort something from the underworld only making their attempts when Persephone was present. Persephone was an exceedingly gorgeous Goddess, she was so beautiful her mother Demeter would hide her away from Olympus in fear of her fellow Gods reaction to it. Described as having the form of a tall young woman with an beautiful but pale face, her hair was dark and long that curled and flowed as if it was weightless. When within the Underworld her eyes took the color of an dying flower and held a haunted quality, whilst when in the overworld they shone with a healthy green glow like a flower during the bloom of spring.
