Persephone is the leader of the Cult of Darkrai in Pokémon Insurgence, and a former cultist of the Infernal Cult

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.

Persephone is next seen on Route 9, where she discusses her failure to wipe the player's memories to Jaern. It is revealed at this time that Jaern and Persephone had reached an agreement where Persephone would finish off the player in exchange for Jaern sparing her base in Shade Forest. Persephone openly states her dislike for Jaern as he leaves.

Persephone appears once again just outside of Selene City on Route 12 as she discusses going to see her sister, Diana, with one of her subordinates. In Selene City Persephone bickers with Diana as Persephone attempts to coerce her sister into letting her see Darkrai. Diana objects if only because she states that she isn't on nearly as amicable terms with Darkrai as Persephone seems to believe; in fact, she has yet to actually see Darkrai herself. During the course of this conversation it is revealed that Persephone and Diana's estranged relationship is due to the pair's dark past, in which Persephone felt that Diana abandoned her after she was captured by someone whose identity is currently unknown. As Persephone leaves after failing to defeat the player in battle, Diana says that though she cannot condone the things that Persephone has done, Persephone's actions are not irrational and are somewhat justifiable.

This marks the end of Persephone's role in the story as of 1.1
