She is attracted to Neo and offers to help him if he kisses her with the same passion with which he has kissed Trinity. Reluctantly, he complies, and she helps him free The Keymaker.
Persephone uses a distinctive four-barreled handgun, loaded with silver bullets, to shoot a vampire who is in her husband's employ. The gun is a COP 357 Derringer; the same gun was used by replicant Leon Kowalski in Blade Runner.
Persephone also encounters and takes a kiss from both Niobe and Ghost (depending on whose story you follow) in the video game Enter The Matrix. She seems to be able to deduce the feelings and emotions of those she kisses, noting Niobe's love for Morpheus, and Ghost's unrequited love for Trinity. She apparently takes deep pleasure in sampling the emotions of others.
In The Matrix Revolutions, Persephone is seen briefly and warns The Merovingian that Trinity would indeed kill everyone in Club Hel to free Neo from the Train Station, simply because she is in love. This leads viewers to believe that Persephone perceives and understands love, and may be disheartened by the cynicism of her husband, who seems to be driven solely by greed and lust.
The character takes her name from the Persephone in Greek mythology, who is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and whom Hades took to the underworld to be his queen. There are allusions throughout the movie that The Merovingian works in the Matrix as an analogue to Hades, including his presence in Club Hel, his unhappy marriage to Persephone and his existence as one of the oldest beings in the Matrix universe, and specifically the one in charge of "lost souls."
