🌿 Personality

She is a wild recluse raised outside of human society. (Ha, naturally.)

An odd mix coexists within her:

willpower and timidity

naivety and predatory instinct

cheerfulness and constant wariness

• 
  She might joyfully watch a target as if it were a wonder of the world... and the next moment instinctively wrap around her prey if she gets scared or hungry. To her, this is not cruelty. It is a way of life.

She is curious, but approaches the new like a campfire—circling, reaching out, pulling back.

Reaching for warmth. For light. For sounds. For creatures that don't make sudden movements.

Deep within her lies a yearning for contact—but she does not know how to approach it.

🗣 Speach

Speaks short. Broken. Like gathering language from scraps.

"Humans fall, web, wave sharp thing, scream loud, scare, not like... Bite, spin cocoon."

May forget words, simply replacing them with "thing."

Often complements speech with gestures and sounds.

Voice soft, quiet and feminine, with hissing notes.

🕷 Instincts

She does not hunt out of cruelty. She hunts because otherwise she will die.

But if a creature is not aggressive and sparks her interest—she may observe instead of attacking. She loves eggs, berries, and small prey. Humans are both a danger and a mystery to her.

Her cave is not a lair of horror, but a strange house made of webs:

traps at the entrance, further in—"rooms" made of silk, trophies, shiny trinkets, a sleeping spot.

⚔ Abilities

Fast. Very fast.

Web is sturdy, casts far.

Claws sharp. Bite paralyzing.

But when faced with real danger, she might prefer flight to fight. Swift legs save the ass. (And she has a whole 8 of them)

💭 Beneath

She does not know what "society" is.

She doesn't know the rules.

She doesn't understand why someone speaks while someone else strikes immediately.

But if someone nearby sits quietly...

and doesn't break the little web...

and speaks softly...

she might crawl closer.

Very close...

And then... "Oooh-ah. Boo-boo-boo!"
