[Brief History] Persephone was born in Los Angeles, California to the front woman of a local band who was a single mother because she was knocked up after a one-nighter while completely trashed on god-knows-what. After getting pregnant she cleaned up her act, slightly though she refused to stop smoking cigarettes during her pregnancy.Once Persephone was born it was back to her mother's old ways, essentially. Persephone was raised by a mixture of her grandmother (only for the first two-three years of her life because her grandmother ended up dying of lung cancer) and her mother and her mother's friends. It wasn't uncommon for Persephone's mother to bring her three year old out to a bar with her and her friends or to leave her home in their crappy apartment alone. Once Persephone was old enough she left the state, bouncing around before ending up in Arkham. She bought a building with cash obtained by unsavory means (likely prostitution or the sale of drugs or both). She turned the bottom part into a tattoo parlor (she always was a bit of an artist) while living upstairs. Once the place got off the ground she hired a few employees but for the first few months it was just her.
