 '''Sickle of Harvest.''' The sickle draws from the power of the land and consumes the life essence of plants and empowers Demeter with a temporary shield of protection.
-'''Staff of Spring.''' The Staff of Spring commands nature to come to her aid, which includes both plants and animals. By tapping it on the ground in a heartbeat pattern (thud-THUD), it sends out a call for everything living to come to her assistance.
+'''The Polished Poppy.''' A large piece of Carnelian carved into her sacred flower, the Poppy. By rubbing the stone,  she can command nature to come to her aid, both plants and animals alike. It sends out a call for everything living to come to her aid.
-'''Emerald of Brightness.''' Demeter wears this special emerald stone in a necklace. When activated, the jewel begins to glow golden with the energy of stored sunlight, radiating light for a range of 20 feet. The gem must occasionally be left in sunlight to charge, but gets most of its charge from daily wear by Demeter.
+'''The Ethereal Eye.''' A sapphire necklace Demeter wears to light her way in the dark. Given to her by the Goddess of Magic during her search for Persephone, the sapphire itself comes from the cave which protected her baby brother, who in turn, rescued her and her siblings from their eternal abyss.
 === Historical Synopsis ===
 Demeter is the 2nd born child of the Titans, Kronus and Rhea. She is the Goddess of the Harvest and Grain, Sacred Law and Fertility of the Earth. She has the power to feed the world or starve them into submission. She is the mother of Persephone, abducted wife of Hades. Each winter, she mourns the loss of her child to the Underworld.<ref>greekgodsandgoddesses.net/goddesses/demeter/ Greek Gods and Goddesses Facts and Information</ref>

 '''Mother Tongue.''' As the bridge between the mortal world and the divine, they speak all languages mortals do, even the long dead ones.
-'''Green Tongue.''' Demeter can speak to living plants as though they were people, hear and understand what they have seen and have said. Every living thing rooted in soil is her eyes and her ears and can communicate information.
+'''Green Tongue.''' Demeter can speak to living plants and communicate with the living Earth, itself. Every living thing rooted in soil is her eyes and her ears and can communicate information.
-'''Lifegiver.''' Demeter has the ability to make plants grow at any rate she wishes. This power is more intense if the plants are actual food crops.
+'''Feast.''' Demeter has the ability to intensify the harvest of any given crop. For those mortals whom she holds in high esteem, she can give them a bountiful harvest and ensure their survival through the coming winter.
-'''Withering.''' Demeter has the ability to draw life from plants (vampire-like), causing their physical mass to wither. This is not a decaying process, but more an instantaneous "husking." This power is combined with the use of the Sickle (see Magical Artifacts, below).
+'''Famine.''' Demeter has the ability to wipe out an entire season’s crop with a wave of her hand. Though this is usually a last resort for her, she has been known to take out whole nations by depriving them of food.
-'''Power of Persuasion.''' As the Goddess of Sacred Law, Demeter has the ability to influence immortals and mortals alike. Using language and rhetoric, Demeter can influence and convince others to take a right course of action, or even to see her side in an argument or negotiation. This power works through Demeter being able to sense what mental or emotional blocks the person has that prevents them from aligning with the right action or with her stance. Then she utilizes this information and her litigation skills to talk them around to her way of seeing things.

 === Flaws / Weaknesses ===
-'''Secluded.''' Demeter likes to be alone and have her privacy and peace. This tendency to isolate herself and seek seclusion makes it hard to get to know her, and she often misses out on things happening in the GC when she is off by herself.
+'''Overly Protective.''' Demeter has a bad habit of becoming overly protective of those she loves. She will pull whatever strings she needs to in order to win, even if it’s not exactly legal.
-'''Type A.''' Demeter has a tendency to plan everything to the last detail to the extent of not going with the flow or being spontaneous. This holds her back from taking action in the moment because she has to weigh all the options before she makes a move.
+'''Lonely.''' Since the murder of her only true love, the mortal Iasion, she’s never believed she could love another. Though she’s had many trysts over the centuries, her heart is still broken.
