Arachne -TARANTULA II-

Arachne is a generally awkward, though extroverted and outgoing young woman. She's very kind, caring, and affectionate with the people she cares about. She's not very good at talking to strangers, which leads to a lot of painfully awkward interactions. She's a talented fashion designer and makeup artist, and a pretty decent cook. She's loyal to a fault, and fairly gullible when it comes to people she trusts.

Arachne is a fairly chaotic person, always getting into trouble or stupid situations for her own amusement, and she can be a bit of a pot-stirrer when it suits her, though it's never any high level manipulation pot stirring and more "killing someone in a video game and watching the fireworks" pot stirring.

Arachne has caffeine hypersensitivity, which means that she has a VERY low tolerance due to her liver having an inability to process caffeine normally. This does not stop her from consuming caffeine in insane amounts.

Arachne hopes to be able to eventually start her own indie fashion label where she can have unlimited creative freedom, though she does do freelance custom works as a side gig at the moment, which fill a similar purpose for her.

Arachne has impulsivity issues and anger issues, the former of which she often internalizes as anger at herself when she ****s something up or misunderstands a social cue. She also is quick to assume that someone is annoyed with her, even if they're not. She can be very anxious and has a slight paranoid streak. She probably also needs to wear less perfume and maybe smoke weed a little less often.

She has degrees in Fashion Design and Accounting from Toronto Metropolitan University, which she "speedran" by taking summer classes.

She will kill you if you tell her that you think Star Wars is better than Star Trek. Or if you didn't like Deep Space 9. At the lesbian bar she frequents, she keeps infodumping on her fellow patrons about Elder Scrolls metaphysics and Star Trek lore whenever someone shows interest in her. It's her way of flirting. It's not effective. Like at all.
