Demeter

Demeter is the Olympian Goddess of the Earth.

Biography
The second daughter of Kronos and Rhea, Demeter grew up within her father’s belly after being swallowed by him due to the curse laid upon him that one of his children would overthrow him. Upon being freed by her brother Zeus, she joined her siblings in declaring war against their father, and journeyed with them to Tartarus in order to free their uncles, the Hekatonkhieres and Elder Cylcopes. In gratitude, she had a weapon, the Aurous Blade, forged for her, which she wielded in battle against the Titans. Out of all her sisters, Demeter was the most skilled warrior. Sometime after Kronos’s defeat, she took up the position as Goddess of the Earth, finding that farming was far more agreeable to her than war, despite her battle prowess. After being seduced by Zeus, she gave birth to a daughter, Persephone, who she doted upon. When her daughter was kidnapped by Hades, she went on a series of adventures to find her, which resulted in a number of deaths, and the creation of a mighty hero and a new god.

Personality
Demeter is generally of a calm and somewhat whimsical disposition. She is quite overprotective of her relatives at times. However, while not as haughty as her sister Hera, Demeter can be just as wrathful and full of spite when provoked.
