## Profile

Demeter is the goddess of nature and the harvest. Her goddess form differs in different seasons where she appears as a beautiful blonde maiden in summer, her hair reddening as spring approaches, once fall knocks her features mature and her hair goes brown and when winter comes she turns into an old woman with white hair, but in all seasons her eyes remain green.

In her first suspect appearance, Demeter appears in her summer form and is seen wearing a white gown with a blazing orange flower necklace around her shoulders and a crown of laurel on top of her head.

in her second and third suspect appearance, she appears in her autumn form and is seen wearing an orange dress with green-brown laces, a reddish-brown cloak and two dead leaves styled as hair bows. She also dons the autumn version of the traditional dryad makeup.

## Events Of Criminal Case

### Timber!

Demeter was found innocent of Ritchie’s murder, after Jennifer and Miranda confronted Jasmine Valencia for the crime.

After dealing with Jasmine, Jennifer and Felicia were ordered to be seen by Demeter. Wondering what Lady Demeter wanted, Jennifer went to speak with her where Felicia followed her. Before Demeter could even share what she wants, Felicia got excited and told Demeter that she must be her mother and that she could not believe how she always wanted to meet her and now that she finally got to see her, she feels so happy and she bets she must be glad as well. Demeter rolled her eyes and told Felicia to save her excitement and dreams of a stable family for later and right now, she has an order for them. With that said, Jennifer felt insulted and told Demeter she’d be more than glad to do a favor for her but she is not someone to be ordered around and that if she wants something, she expects to be asked properly. Demeter’s eyes then glowed with anger and she told Jennifer that she will do as she is told and if she doesn’t learn to hold that tongue of hers, she will be punished. This put Jennifer to her place where she listened as Demeter told her and Felicia that the girls in the festival had brought a huge barrel of wine to drink from during the celebration. However, when they checked the barrel a couple of minutes ago, it turns out that someone had drank all the wine stored inside for the party. Jennifer and Felicia gasped at that and asked how is that possible where Demeter shrugged and told them that she has no idea and that whoever is responsible didn’t leave any cups laying around, believing that they’ve left the party taking the cup with them and told the duo that she would like them to look around the woods to see who done this.

Once Yvette was ready to go on labor, a tall blonde figure who Kaleb assumed must be the goddess Demeter came out with a whole crowd of dryads where Kaleb stepped in and asked what they are doing in here. Felicia noticed that her mother’s baby bump grew larger and she asked the goddess how this happened, where Demeter laughed and told her that as a goddess she can decided when to give birth and the only reason why she didn’t go in labor the moment Ritchie put his seed inside her is to enjoy the benefits of a pregnant woman but seeing that they’re delivering a baby right now, she may as well have her baby delivered as well. After Demeter sat next to Yvette, Rubarae asked which one wants to have a go first, where the two agreed Yvette should start seeing that her delivery would be much more painful and should be dealt with first. Kaleb held tighter on Yvette’s hand as she groaned from pain and after a a couple of minutes, her son was born. After dealing with Yvette, Rubarae turned to Demeter who gave birth to her child, Morticia Addams style, whom Rubarae picked up, announcing that it’s a girl, making every nymph cheer. A satyr then approached Demeter, asking her who should the child be delivered to seeing that the father is dead, where Demeter told him that Ritchie has no living adult relative so unfortunately her daughter will be raised in an orphanage.
