Next up: Persephone!

Lore under the cut:

Persephone is still hidden away in the mortal realm, which is considered highly inappropriate/incorrect for a god's development. The reason that Demeter does this is that after living with mortals & nymphs for so long, she sees the gods as cruel/impetuous and otherwise bad influences on her and her daughter (she also discovers that she's pregnant right after being denied her crown as queen of the mortal realm, so). However, it's common to hide godlings since they're relatively squishier than gods and can still be injured, even if they can't be killed. However, usually they're only brought around other gods rather than mortals/nymphs, so Demeter does the opposite. Persephone lives with mortals and nymphs and is very affectionate of them; she often sees herself and mortals as equals, due to being constantly away from Olympus, she develops slower than the avg. god would!

For context on this:

Gods mentally develop very quickly, as is canon to Greek mythology. However, for the first century of their life, they tend to be more like... spirits, about equal to nymphs in power, but what distinguishes gods from nymphs is that even in their first century, gods tend to have multiple domains, they just haven't been fully developed yet. Persephone's powers are very weak for the first two centuries of her life because she's disconnected from Olympus/the Underworld, which are the epicenters of divine power. They're both equally powerful and necessary to the order of the world. However, she's still more powerful than a nymph by the time she's about 200. Another reason that she develops so slowly is that Demeter hides her from /everyone/, meaning no special blessings or anything. She is actually an isolated village girl because the way that Olympus works in this universe is especially cut-throat. Hera would have (and does) use Persephone as a pawn to punish Demeter for [secret surprise information that will be revealed later]. Artemis is very much the odd-one out for being kind to Persephone and offering her a place to stay.

Minthe Redesign

Lore information under the cut:

Minthe is old enough to remember the Titanomachy, but too young to have fought in it. She's about 1,500 years old.

Minthe herself is about 6' without high heels, but is anywhere from 6'2-6'6 in her heels, which makes her taller than Hades, who is 6'1.

Underworld natives & deep sea natives have darker skin. However, this is an adaptation to camouflage into their environment; their coloration has no benefits under the sun. Their eyes are quite photosensitive.

Underworld Natives have certain unsavory stereotypes about being greedy and callous because of their power in the corporate & luxury goods sector. They're a very wealthy people and the Underworld Standard of living is on par with Olympus, comparative to the relatively poor Mortal and Ocean realms.

Lady Macbeth hands her husband the blade.

This was from a 2021 theater fic exchange, which you can find here! The request was for Macbeth in a different era, and I chose the Roman empire because it's a perfect crumbling kingdom set-up.

Hades Game concept for Hera that I still like. Her boons would be primarily ambrosia based, but occasionally she gifts duo boons.
