She was said to be cold-hearted in the Underworld. She was known to have only one child, her daughter, Mellinoe, goddess of ghosts, to Zeus in Hades' guise. Phsyche was told by Aphrodite to go to the Underworld with a box and ask Persephone for a portion of her beauty.
I'm not sure what your idea of fun facts are, so I'll let you read and decide.
Persephone is the Greek goddess of fertility and spring, and she later on became Queen of the Underworld. Her symbol is the sheath of grain. There is, of course, that famous story that includes Persephone's abduction by the hands of her uncle Hades, and the interlinked story about the seasons. For six months (some say three) Persephone lives with her husband in the Underworld and Demeter mourns. Then for six months (nine for the other versions) Persephone is the goddess of springtime. She played an active role in the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. When Orpheus came to the Underworld to beg for his deceased wife, it was Persephone who convinced Hades to release Eurydice on the conditions that were obviously not met by Orpheus.
The Roman counterpart of Persephone is Proserpina.
