Persephone could be scary. Even though she was smaller than most of the people she knew, at five nine, she could beat their ass. Take Desmond, her boyfriend's uncle. He was eighteen, two years older, and a hell of a lot taller. He knew better than almost anyone how honestly scary Sephone could be. 

Quint could be scary too. He was five feet and ten inches of intense burning anger towards his enemies. But otherwise he was a huge teddy bear. His husband, Jeremy, admired this, despite him being the same way. Their fights were explosive. 

Lilah was the scariest of all of them. Five seven, and absolutely terrifying. She carried a lighter and knife at all times after the war with Amet. To commit arson, or stab. The choice was hers. She had a soft side, that was only unlocked by kids. Even Desmond counted, in her opinion. 

Umber was lucky none of these people were against him, even getting Persephone as his daughter in law, and Lilah as the godmother to his daughter.
