Persephone Annalita Reldvar, daughter of Ikrah Reldvar of the Brazilian Votanis Collective colony. Persephone is the combination of two of the votanis collective, half Irath, and half casti, but identifies more with her Irath side, due to her mother's hatred of her father.

She has no natural Irath markings due to her castithan roots, and chose (without her mother's permission) to get them tattooed onto her face and body. She dyes her hair to fit in better with the rest of her settlement's Irath population, but her large dual-toned eyes give her away regardless.

Persephone, named for her mother's favorite greek goddess, is a talented violinist, despite the world's post-apocolyptic state. She loves her mother and her younger sister dearly, and will fight anyone who insults her family as viciously as her mother would, but, being only 13, her mother often regards her as too young and weak to handle harsh situations, like battle or romance. God forbid she ever date an ark hunter.
