The Goddess Of Spring

Featuring Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, as seen in Disney short "The Goddess of Spring" (1934). I really like her design. She's even older than Snow White! I read somewhere that Walt Disney and his artists practiced to draw a beautiful woman on her before they worked on Snow White.

Name: Persephone
Short film: The Goddess of Spring (1934) video link
Why she is a heroine:
Persephone is the main character in Disney's 1934 short "The Goddess of Spring". As the titular character, she has the power of spring: bringing trees and flowers into bloom. Without her, the plants wither and the animals grieve. Even though she is portrayed as the gentler type of heroine, she determines to oppose Hades, who kidnaps her to the Underworld. She refuses all his gifts and will not be happy unless she is returned to the Overworld. We see that in the ending, Hades releases her. The world is shown blooming again as the winter thaws into spring.
