ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Central Time; irregular hours. I can be both slow and irregular with my pace. I have several health issues, and some days I can't tag at all. If I haven't tagged back in a while and you want to make sure I got the tag or am still planning to return it, feel free to poke me.
STYLE: No preference between brackets or prose; prefer present tense, but will match past. I will occasionally post to texting memes, but tend to have trouble keeping up with text threads for long unless they switch to in-person.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No gore in picture prompts, no graphic descriptions of gore in tags.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGS/SLOWTIME: Always, and happy to do it for ages. Please feel free to respond to things no matter how old they are, as well.
THREADHOPPING: Check, but generally fine.
FOURTHWALLING: Go for it, as much as is possible for someone who expects to be known.
NOT INTERESTED IN: Smut without build-up or previous CR.
SOME INFLUENCES: Vixy and Tony's Persephone; Jeannine Hall Gailey's poems, particularly Persephone and the Prince Meet Over Drinks, and Persephone Thinks of Leaving the Suburbs; Louise Glück's A Myth of Devotion and The Myth of Innocence; the original concept album version of Hadestown, as played by Ani Difranco

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Platonic contact is warmly welcome from friends, from family she likes (the list of which can vary), and from beings from her domains of nature and death. Flirty/romantic attempts at contact is fine; if we're going with an AU where she's not married, she'll be warm and affectionate in return, and she'll be indulgent but not return it unless it's her husband in threads where she's married.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: If you're not another deity or someone who has the ability to match them, you can try, but you're probably not getting anywhere. If you are, let's talk it out depending on who it is and what's going on. Not adverse to injury happening in threads if someone has the power to do it.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Anything short of another deity is going to have a hell of a time trying to do anything to her. Mindreaders might get a shallow impression that feels a bit like her domains, but that's about it. Mindreaders with enough power/who are also deities, we can work it out on a case-by-case basis.
MEDICAL INFORMATION/ABILITIES: She's a goddess, with all that entails. As she's not based on a specific version of the myth, abilities are play-by-ear on a thread-by-thread basis.

RELATIONSHIPS
PLATONIC: Yes! She's a warm person generally, friends are welcome.
FAMILY: I am super interested in the complexities of the god's familial bonds. My Greek myth obsessive days were a while ago so I might need to double-check encyclopedias to remember who exactly is related, but I'm still good with it.
NEGATIVE: She is capable of being intense and threatening if she feels the need, and I'd love to see her interact with someone where she feels like it's warranted.
SHIPPING: Go for it. I'm up for AUs where she's not married for meme purposes, with possible discussion if you still want to keep the death aspect of her godhood; and possibly summertime affairs with discussion. And Hades in any variation is always welcome. I like a loving but at least slightly complicated dynamic between them; I'm happy to play things by ear or discuss in advance!

VARIANT IDEAS
Tentatively available in a reincarnation, Sophia (or Fi to friends) -- bartender and part-time dungeon monitor, habitual caretaker, plant hoarder, and reluctant medium, who's already walked away from one totally mundane overbearing mother to live the life she wants to live, and isn't afraid to do it to a divine one as well.
Interested in fleshing out the world of the Hadestown concept album, or translating the less-bitter version of Persephone whose relationship hasn't fallen apart the same way into the worldbuilding of the musical and seeing how that goes.
Theoretically interested in something inspired by The Mechanism's Ulysses Dies at Dawn, with discussion as to how to fit her into the Mechs canon, or using the setting to jump off and play with a slightly more traditional Hades and Persephone setup.
