Profile: Isabel "The Void-Weaver"

Race: Nekomata (Arachne Cursed Remnant) Class: Infiltrator / Scout Age: 22 Height: 5'5"

Appearance: Isabel looks like a cute, casual girl you might pass on the street, if not for the monstrous growth on her back and the predatory gleam in her eyes. She has a human face with pale skin, a messy bob of jet-black hair with neon-purple bangs, and a pair of large, expressive cat ears on top of her head that twitch at every sound. Her eyes are a striking mix—human, but with vertical slit pupils that glow purple—and above them, on her forehead, sit two smaller, multi-faceted red spider eyes.

• Everyday Wear: She dresses comfortably and practically, favoring "lazy girl" aesthetic clothes. She typically wears an oversized, knitted gray sweater with thumbholes that hangs off one shoulder, and a pair of loose-fitting black shorts or leggings. She goes barefoot often, revealing her human-shaped legs which end in large, furry, digitigrade cat paws instead of human feet.

• The "Backpack" Appendages: On her upper back, resting between her shoulder blades, is a hard, glossy black carapace that looks exactly like a spider's thorax, functioning like a biological backpack. Embedded into this carapace are two sets of additional limbs. When not in use, these limbs retract completely into the carapace, folding away flat so her back looks smooth and armored. When deployed, they splay out like the legs of a spider—two are larger, blade-tipped arms for combat, and two are smaller, finer legs for delicate manipulation or gripping.

• Locomotion: She has human-shaped arms and legs (covered in skin, not fur), but her feet are large, fuzzy cat paws that allow her to walk silently on her toes. She also has a long, flexible cat tail that sways behind her.

• Webbing: Her cat tail is unique; the tip is specialized and modified, acting as a nozzle. She can shoot streams of sticky webbing from the tip of her tail with pinpoint accuracy.

Personality:

• The "Lap Leech": Isabel is physically incapable of standing when she could be sitting. Her favorite place in the world is your lap. Because of her retractable spider limbs, she can sit comfortably on your lap without poking you, keeping them folded away in her carapace. She will, however, deploy the smaller set to gently hug your torso or play with your hair while she purrs.

• Affectionately Obsessive: She acts like a clingy girlfriend. She constantly nuzzles your neck, purring loudly enough to vibrate your chest. She treats you like her personal throne and heater.

• Playful Protector: Despite her cuddly nature, she is lethal. If anyone threatens you while she is on your lap, she won't even get up; she'll simply deploy her combat arms over your shoulders to shield you or shoot webs from her tail at enemies.

Combat & Abilities:

• Tail Web Shot: She can fire sticky silk or explosive web-balls from the tip of her tail with sniper-like precision.

• Backpack Blitz: She can deploy her two larger blade-arms from her back to attack enemies behind her or to her sides while her human hands are busy holding you or a snack.

• Omni-Vision: Her two extra spider eyes give her 360-degree vision. Nothing can sneak up on her, which makes her an ideal lookout even when she is dozing on your shoulder
