Demeter is the Goddess of the Harvest and the mother of Persephone.
Physical Appearance[]
Demeter has the appearance of a younger looking middle-aged woman. She has honey-blond hair and wears a simple white dress with some coloring.
Personality[]
As per her legacy, Demeter is incredibly overprotective toward her daughter. While she appears to accept Persephone's marriage to Hades, she unintentionally sent the world into a heavy snow day when Persephone was late returning from the Underworld and would not calm down until Persephone is before her again.
In the Series[]
Cold Day in Hades-Demeter becomes upset when Persephone fails to return from The Underworld, having been frozen in Hades' Chair of Forgetfulness. In her sorrow, she allows the world to become barren and freeze over.
When Neil and Atlanta arrive at her farm, Demeter has taken the form of a white cow. They attempted to charm her enough to ease the global winter she has left the world in but were unsuccessful as Demeter was too upset about her missing daughter. Knowing she herself would not be able to control her emotions, Demeter willingly lend them her chariot pulled by two ferocious large cats to go to the Underworld and help the others save Persephone. When Persephone returns to the living world, Demeter is so joyful that she has restored the natural order and mother and daughter are happily reunited, much like in the myth.
Mythology[]
In Greek mythology Demeter (Greek: Δημήτηρ) was the goddess of the harvest, who presided over grains, the fertility of the earth, the seasons (personified by the Hoare), and the harvest. Though Demeter is often described simply as the goddess of the harvest, she presided also over the sanctity of marriage, the sacred law, and the cycle of life and death. She and her daughter Persephone were the central figures of the Eleusinian Mysteries that also predated the Olympian pantheon.
Trivia[]
