A commission I got from Abyss
After the long a passionate night. Shelob would bear Alex's child. And thus, Aranea was soon born. Taking mostly traits from her mother but a few from Alex such as his eye. But most of her looks come from her mother. Including her being a futa.
Aranea inherited a lot of Shelob's magical abilities. She's been labeled as a modern witch at times. Something she embraces. She can transform into a spider but prefers her human form. Sometimes she’ll mix the two together to form a hybrid.
Aranea adores things she finds cute and loves to add them to her collection. This includes people. Something Alex has had to stop her from doing several times. Though this has been reigned in a bit, she’ll still determine people she adores ‘hers’ even if they roam free. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as she feels a need to keep those that are ‘hers’ safe and content. Don’t be surprised if she coddles you though if she claims you as one of them.
Next to her possessive nature is her cunning. She’s good at reading people and knows how they can think and act in just a few moments of meeting them. Even then, she can make an educated guess with little information. And she’s usually right. She’s good at playing people around her fingers. Even dipping her fingers in many pots. She’s spread her web of influence across many regions and worlds.
Aranea adores her parents for all they’ve done to make their empire start from so little into what it is. Though she may be poised to inherit it one day, she’d much rather make her own place and let her parents have theirs.
