Persephone (though she sometimes still goes by Laura) is an actual literal god, and part of that is the power to inspire mortals. Most of how this is done is through her voice, particularly music, though just her presence can have an effect on people.
Not all mortals are susceptible. Most people aren't affected by all the gods, and some hear none at all; teenagers and young adults seem more likely to be influenced by them, but even for them, not every god can sway every mortal.
Those who are affected by her will know immediately that she is something more than human: it's something like a fairy glamour, making her seem more interesting, more charming, more attractive, just more than mortals. It makes people want to be around her, makes them want to listen to her - it's strongest when she's performing in some way, though she doesn't need to do that to influence someone. She can't make anyone do anything, because the extent of this power is capturing and holding attention and making them believe her... but she can make that in itself dangerous enough, if she's inclined.
(There is a possibility repeated personal exposure to gods, outside of performances, would make people less affected and impressed by them, if not totally immune to their effects.)
The effect she has on people lingers, too; people who have been affected by Persephone will tend to be more stubborn or bullheaded afterward, and more inclined to be vengeful towards people who have wronged them.
Persephone is pretty chill unless you piss her off, at which point she may attempt to curse your character. While the curse will be minor and temporary (unless you'd like something bigger and/or more permanent), whether or not her attempt works will be up to the player.
If you have or would like CR with Persephone, please fill this out so I have it available for easy reference. :)
Yes, most of this was written by

Date: 2015-07-14 08:15 pm (UTC)Is your character affected by Persephone? Yes, to an extent! He likely won't be overwhelmed by her, but she'll definitely have an affect, if that's okay.
Are you okay with Persephone singing around them? Yes! He and singing are a Thing and I would love to have him deal with more magical song.
Would you like to opt out of any minor/temporary curses? (note that I will still ask before doing anything, but this allows you to opt out of me even considering it.) Nah... If she's pissed at him enough to curse him, he should have to deal with the consequences!
