Persephone is the leader of the Cult of Darkrai in Pokémon Insurgence.

In the game

Persephone first appears in the game shortly before the player starts their adventure by escaping the Cult of Darkrai's base. She instructs the guards to continue using a Gengar to steal the player's memories before heading off to perform a ritual to summon Darkrai.

Once the player escapes from Gengar's Dream Eater, they are able to make their way through the base towards the area where Persephone is attempting to summon Darkrai by sacrificing one of her own subordinates. During this time the player learns that this is not the first time that Persephone has attempted such a ritual. Inside of the summoning circle, Persephone summons Darkrai before her as she attempts to convince it to join her and forsake her sister who lives in Selene City. Darkrai appears to wordlessly decline her offer once again as Persephone steps down and incinerates two of her grunts who try to convince her to try the ritual again. She leaves to check on the player's status as the player sneaks out of the base with Mew's assistance.

This marks the end of Persephone's role in the story at this point in the game's development
