Persephone the Slime Mold

From the Official Cast Page

First Appearance: Birth of a New Slime Mold! (May 22, 1999)

Persephone, as stated on Fred's page, split from Fred when he underwent mitosis. Although she should technically have the same DNA as Fred (mitosis, of course, is simple cellular division, which results in two identical cells), for some reason she is yellow in color and tends to have a distinct, more feminine personality. (It's a comic strip. So sue me.) Persephone adores Fred in what seems like a romantic fashion and seems to have a naiveté about her that gives her an almost child-like quality. However, she occasionally shows flashes of brilliance that hint at a much deeper intelligence.

"Pers" was an important link for Ki back to her friends back at GPF during Surreptitious Machinations, having stowed away in Ki's luggage when she left to help her parents. We know Persephone had a special place in Todd's heart, but we don't know what role she played in his development. She has also been known to occasionally baby-sit Sydney for Dwayne and Nicole. Usually, however, she tends to step back and let Fred get all the glory, while she takes enjoyment in merely being his cheerleader. She currently acts as his secretary, taking his many publicity calls. As far as we know, while Fred's existence is publicly known, Persephone is still unknown to the world at large.
