Journal of the lovely, sweet and beatiful Pantaur, Kora.
whee heart
Calm, quiet, kind and unusually shy for her race, Kora is studious and intelligent, but is far from being extremely talkative. Once she trusts someone though, she becomes a dedicated friend whom you can always rely on. This is her journal, given to her by her mother, in which she writes her thoughts and views, mostly before bedtime. Enjoy!

Origin of Kora's name.
Kora is the greek goddess of Spring as well as the underworld. Another name for her is Persephone. She was daughter of Demeter, beautiful and much-beloved by mortals goddess of harvest, and Zeus. Persephone was such a beautiful youth that even the god of the underworld, Hades, wanted her for himself. One day, when she was picking flowers on the lushful plains of Enna, the earth suddenly opened and Hades rose up from the gap to abduct her. None but Zeus and Helios, the sun, had noticed it. Broken-hearted, Demeter wandered the earth, looking for her daughter until Helios revealed what had happened. Demeter was so angry that she withdrew herself in loneliness, and the earth ceased to be fertile. Knowing this could not continue much longer or the mortals would all starve, Zeus sent his messenger down to Hades to make him release Persephone. Hades grudgingly agreed, but before she went back he gave Persephone an enchanted pomegranate. When she later ate of it, it bound her to underworld forever and she had to stay there half of every year. The other months she came back, bringing spring and then summer with her. When Persephone was back in the land of the dead, Demeter refused to let anything grow and winter began. This myth is a symbol of the budding and dying of nature. In the Eleusinian mysteries, this happening was celebrated in honor of Demeter and Persephone, who was known in this cult as Kora. Her name means "she who destroys the light."
It is also the name of a traditional instrument from Africa, namely Senegal. It was very influencial on Hawaiian and American banjos. Strange, isn't it?
