The Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld is out of balance with who she's meant to be. Though Persephone shares domain of the Underworld alongside Hades, she struggles to get a handle on her growing frustrations. The constant pull between the King – her husband in title only – and the demands of her mother, Demeter, have forced Persephone into an untenable situation.
Regular Godsrests keep her refreshed and renewed – and protected from reality. The rests also propel her further and further from her origin story – at least the one most commonly told – forcing Persephone to re-examine every assumption she has about herself. Though her quest to find her voice and stand up for herself doesn't signal a complete break from her duties and obligations, it does require the beloved immortal to craft a wholly new balance between her dual roles as Goddess of Spring, and Queen of the Underworld.
