Persephone (Pea4.IPS)

Persephone is a code entity created by JMC and Kosuke on March 29, 2023. This is a giant version of Princess Peach who was originally AI art and that later got lore and art.
== Appearance ==
Persephone looks like a tall girl in a white dress, red jacket and a broken crown on her head. Has long red hair, a wide smile and large eyes with black pupils. In the second form, called Aranea, she becomes taller and scarier - spider legs appear from everywhere, and red pupils appear in her eyes.
== Biography ==
In late 2000, a freelance programmer Hitoshi Takahashi, discovered a floppy disk containing a modified copy of Super Mario Bros in his dead friend's belongings, and decided to take it with him to check it out. During his lifetime, his friend was once one of the employees of Nintendo, but while working on a new project, he made several mistakes in the game code, which is why he was fired. He felt remorse for this, so he decided to create his own version of the game, where he could correct his mistakes. He had almost finished work on the project, but shortly before that, he died as a result of a car accident. His friend Hitoshi knew about the copy of the game, and therefore, after the death of a friend, he decided to finish this work for him to pay tribute.
The code for the game and the final result were very different from the project that eventually went to market - the locations and design were more thoughtful and unique. Of course, the game code was underdeveloped, so some of the levels were unplayable, and some were completely bugged. Hitoshi spent six months rewriting the code, and when almost everything was ready, something changed. One mistake created a stream of information data, after which it began to absorb the entire code of the game, and eventually leaked somewhere into the network, leaving the programmer in bewilderment and shock.
It looks like the two programmers somehow managed to create sentient code that took on the consciousness and mind of the most written character in this copy of the game, Princess Peach. Since then, this creature has been able to travel to other game universes, trying to find a place in the world and friends. And she gave herself the name Persephone.
== Personality ==
Persephone is an extremely kind, sympathetic and positive girl who wants to be open and friendly to everyone. If someone is sad, she will want to cheer them up and comfort them. She also loves when someone compliments her or pat her head / hugs.
Nevertheless, even such a cute girl has a dark side - in Aranea form she is insane and cruel, although she goes into such a state only in the most extreme case, when she is very angry.
== Relationships ==
Persephone is a code that lives thanks to certain settings that have been incorporated into it since its inception. This allows her to treat all characters differently:
*She adores and loves Mario characters (Minus Carnivore Cap), but this love is more like love for kittens, as she just likes to hug them and finds them cute (regardless of appearance or even occupation, such as killing)
*She is friends with Toad, Daisy, Pauline, Rosalina and other Peach characters, can become a good conversationalist for them
*Neutral to all Luigi characters
*She isn't too fond of Wario, Waluigi and Bowser characters, but she can still tolerate their presence.
For other non-Mario characters (who come from other universes, including humans) she is neutral-friendly, so you can pet or hug her, she will be pleased with this.
== Abilities/Weaknesses ==
=== Abilities ===
* Teleportation - Persephone is a code that can travel to other exe worlds without problems.
* Insensitivity to pain - due to the fact that Persephone is not formally a physiological entity, she completely lacks pain receptors, which allows her not to feel pain.
* The second form - Aranea form is a unique ability that appears if she feels angry. In this state, her body becomes more like a spider, and she also begins to absorb part of the world code in order to kill the enemy at any cost.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Persephone is by no means immortal, it is quite possible to kill her, although it is extremely problematic to do this.
* When moving to another world, she can accidentally catch a virus that can weaken her for a while. This can last from several minutes to 2 days. In some ways, this condition is similar to a sore throat - she coughs and does not look in the best shape.
== Trivia ==
* Persephone was originally just AI art that consisted of JMcCormick's art components, so she's still technically considered to be his character.
* Persephone does not need food, water, sleep and other needs, because she is a code. Although she can imitate eating food for pleasure.
* She has many friends with whom she spends time.
* She can change clothes on herself, she only does it through transformation - by scanning, she can change clothes on herself without even taking them off (of course this is due to the fact that she is a code). The only catch is that clothes can only be of certain colors, namely white, red and maroon, because clothes are in some sense part of her body.
* The dimensions of Persephone are related to the fact that during her creation she absorbed the entire code of her world, thus increasing in size.
* The only Marios that Persephone fears are Carnivore Cap, since that beast has nothing left of the former Mario within him (except for the appearance), and Mario3.Exe.
* Due to the fact that the classic Mario from the world of Persephone was destroyed along with the code, she made an oath to herself that she would protect other Mario characters, even regardless of their deeds.
* The zeros and ones on her elbows and knees are some kind of birthmarks left after the first absorption of the world code.
* She is able to remove her exoskeleton formations on her arms and legs, for example, so that they do not get in the way when she is wearing a swimsuit on the beach.
* She loves hugging very much, or when her head is patted.
* She is unsmashable.
* According to the creator of the character - if sometime nsfw art is made on Persephone, then this will not be considered canon, but only a fantasy of artists.
* At the time of her creation, Persephone remained forever at the age of 20, since being a code she cannot grow.
* Although Persephone does not need food, she likes to eat desserts with tea to get a good feeling.
* Despite her size, she treats those around her with the utmost caution.
