Description

The arrogance is palpable. It's in every angular line of the woman's painstakingly made-up features. In every movement and gesture. Even in the way she meets one's gaze. But what else would one expect, with Malfoy blood? Persephone was likely an attractive woman, in her day… though time is marching on now and she plainly takes more care in her appearance than perhaps she used to. Her blue eyes are neatly lined, the lids dusted with powder to detract from the crow's feet creeping from the outer corners and her thin, pursed lips are tinted with a pearly pink that actually doesn't make them very appealing. The trademark white-blonde hair, in her case, is kept shoulder length and in subtle waves, presumably intended to soften her face.

She wears soft feminine colors, satins and layered fashions. Her dress of choice is a salmon color with a rosebud not at her throat. The shoulders loosen to gathered sleeves at her wrists. The dress hugs her waist and in a wide band and then flares to end just past her knees. A pair of stockings disappear into soft satin salmon colored shoes and a white handbag is gripped by a white gloved hand.

Background

Persephone was born during a balmy afternoon on August 16th, 1883 at the Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England to Pure-bloods Typhon and Nora Malfoy (nee Lowe); a Hitwizard and Housewitch, respectively. Typhon and Nora had three children, two boys: Enceledus (b. 1870), Balaurius (b. 1873) and their youngest, a daughter: Persephone (b. 1883). Being the youngest child with the likes of her older brothers had Persephone fiercely vying for attention and respect. Her mother of course was thrilled to finally have a girl and Persephone basked in the attention and gifts of hats, ribbons, dresses, shoes, dolls and the like from her doting mother. The family was particularly wealthy and she had access to every entertainment money could buy. Her mother would joke that Persephone could drain the entire Malfoy wealth if she wanted to, and then replenish it with just one smile from her. Persephone didn't take it as a joke, she took it as a challenge. One she succeeded at.

Being sorted into Slytherin was no surprise. In her Third Year she took on Arithmancy and Divination along with the core classes. O.W.L.s in these classes were achieved with ease. While most expected her to graduate after O.W.L.s and marry the man she was betrothed to, to his merit, Joseph Macnair encouraged his intended to stay with him at Hogwarts through Sixth and Seventh Year. Persephone began N.E.W.T. classes in Charms and Transformation. It was a wonderful day when she and Joseph graduated with the class of 1901.

After graduation she and Joseph quickly became a force to be reckoned with. Alister Macnair, Joseph's father and the founder of Macnair Manufacturing in a bit of hazing made Persephone a secretary to Joseph. He soon rued the day when one of his most important of clients requested that she be present at a contract meeting. It was that meeting where Persephone showed her future father-in-law that she was no one's secretary. She soon made partner, and that was before she even married Joseph. Persephone and Alister continued to have their own feud, he did not care for the fact that she had such sway over his son. But as time went on and his health began to fail Alister realized that Persephone was going to be the driving force in the company and the feuding stopped. Particularly when Persephone had the Macnair heir! Zephyr was born June 6th, 1902. Again it was expected by the majority that Persephone would retire from work so that she can focus on raising Zephyr at home. Instead she raised Zephyr at the Factory.

Zephyr grew into a man she could be proud of, that was until she started to notice that he was spending a particular amount of time with some Mudblood girl at school and when he was home for the holidays. Persephone tried her best to steer him clear of such filth, but no matter what she tried it only seemed to push him towards her more. So she had no choice but to put on a smile when he brought her to the company as his secretary. At least she could keep a close eye on this Tierney and swallow the bitter pill of her son's ultimatum that if Tierney goes, so too does he. There was other ways of freeing her son from the filth's enchantment. They say the best way to stop an enchantment is to kill the source of the enchanting. It was terrible slow death, a tragedy that happened mysteriousl after Persephone got wind that they went behind her back and secretly got married. Her poor son became a widower and she was there to comfort him and make sure that he had everything and anything he needed to heal. Leave it to her son to find another woman the moment Persephone lets him out of her sight. She and Joseph went to Germany to celebrate with associates there and they come home to find that her son is grinning ear to ear again. Finally she was able to extract a name, Clover Weaver. Well at least this one was Pure-Blood, small favors. After Persephone threw some simple tests Clover's way the woman proved much like she did to Alister, that she was worthy of Zephyr's attention. Persephone blessed the marriage and while she does not understand Clover and Zephyr's strange designs at a relationship with all their other on the side relationships. Clover made Persephone a grandmother of a beautiful boy Tristan, no doubt in his look that he actually is Zephyr's son. Thank the Powers for that. There is a bit of distress as they don't seem to want to give Persephone as much access to her grandson as she would like. But Persephone perseveres and remains patient for their relationship to improve. Business is booming ironically during the Muggle's War. Her family is growing, she is defying the aging process nicely. All in all she has a marvelous life. She hopes no one else will try to ruin it for her again. It was not a great pleasure in dealing with the last interference.

Quirks

  • Extremely Purist
  • Ruthless
  • Wealth: Opulent

RP Hooks

  • Prominent Family: Persephone is a Malfoy and the wife of the most powerful member of the Macnair family.
  • Veritas Party: Persephone was one of the first british witches to wear the Eye of Truth on a necklace. She of course being who she is had it custom made, a triangle of platinum with a circle cushion cut diamond in the center held in place inside of the triangle with a golden wand miniature of her own wand.
  • Business Tycoon: Less wary about Macnair Manufacturing supplying the Army of Truth with things they need. Unlike her husband and son. Persephone is never one to be shy about dealing with the devil. Or in her case, her peers and friends.
