headcanon that rhea and hart were partners for a project in high school and when they worked on it outside school she had to meet him at a graveyard and she though he was gonna serial kill her tbh. now she's just like "quote poetry to me"

fucking with a goddess and you get a little colder

persephone is the daughter of zeus and the harvest goddess demeter and queen of the underworld. homer describes her as the formidable, venerable majestic queen of the underworld, who carries into effect the curses of men upon the souls of the dead. persephone was abducted by hades, the god-king of the underworld.

rhea mathers (26) - your all-american sassafras with an affinity for bourbon and stiletto heels *wearin shades emoji*

"i could be lana del rey if i wanted to be" -rhea on the daily

grew up in westwood and therefore knows and talks shit about every person on the block

she moved out of her parents' house straight outta high school though and moved into some cheap ass ghetto urban street apartment a la felix dawkins

gurl's a former cheerleader extraordinaire and was particularly known for never wearing underwear under her uniform ((biggest flirt class of 2006))

was kinda a golden girl back in the day tbh?? but she was pretty artsy w/ the troy bolton vibe "cheerleading AND art??? imPOSSIBLE"

people still talk about the legendary mathers halloween rager of '05 she copped a feel on just about every boy at the party

she now suffers from "mild" alcoholism which is probably because she's in a bar every time she's not working at the museum (art restoration)

brings a new meaning the troubled beauty queen archetype b/c persephone

she is a master of the booty call. batten down the hatches

rhea's got a bit of 'tude no lie

she's a bit cynical about the world and always has some quip or snarky comment to make i.e. "i love your skirt where did you get it" jk jk

but most people love her she has a lot of instagram followers whatchu know bout it

she's sexy, she's cute, she's popular to boot

rhea is fiercely independent and somewhat aloof but you'd never know

she thrives off human contact and seems to have a lot of fun and have it all but sUFFERING and LONELINESS

rhea in a word: self-destructive lmao is that a joke she is probably gonna die from alcohol poisoning

alas drunk!rhea is much more persistent and open about her need for emotional connection cause she lonely as hell ayyyy

isn't the most compassionate person tbh. she isn't exactly selfish but she struggles to hide her emotions b/c they overpower her

not ditzy in the slightest even though you would think she is. if you spend an hour with rhea you will probably emerge smarter b/c she likes to be ~informed about issues~

you're guaranteed one hell of a time if you're into drinking a full bottle of wine and looking at artwork tbh

art restoration by day, partyin' by night ((so fancy))

In some older versions of Persephone’s story, she was a young woman, not a young girl, and instead of accidentally wandering away, she had gone deliberately adventuring, when she fell, or was lured, or was kidnapped into Hell. Here Persephone’s adventurous spirit leads her into difficulty, instead of her being a passive victim of the wickedness of others. Her relationship with her mother gives her the courage to explore her world, and when events take a bad turn, their relationship gives her the strength to survive. In a still older version, Persephone heard the despairing cries of the dead and chose freely to go into the Underworld to comfort them. Hades does not appear at all, in this version. Here Persephone’s descent to hell illustrates inclusiveness for every being, whether in the Underworld or in our present one, and shows that mercy is integral to her nature. In the most ancient layer of myth, Persephone’s name means “She Who Destroys The Light.” She was the powerful Goddess of the Underworld long before anyone knew of Hades. Like the Indian Kali, the Irish Morrigan, and the Sumerian Ereshkegal, she was the Goddess of Death.
