Persephone
Goddess of spring and queen of the underworld, embodying life-death-rebirth cycle. Abducted by Hades, Persephone's annual return to the surface brings spring, while her descent brings winter. Her dual nature as maiden and death queen represents transformation and the shadow's integration. Persephone symbolizes the loss of innocence, cyclical renewal, and the necessary descent into darkness for growth. Her pomegranate seeds bind her to the underworld, representing irreversible transformation.
