| Age: | 18 |
| Gender: | Female |
| Species: | Non-Pony |
| Appearance: | Arachne usually wears blood red and black clothing. She never wears skirts, unless it's a dress. She constantly has her boots on and the "collar" around her neck. |
| Personality: | Despite her appearance, Arachne is a sweet girl who loves animals and art. She cares for everyone, but everyone thinks she's a freak from the way she dresses. |
| Backstory: | She's just moved to Japan, and is moving into a supposedly haunted house, which she finds out in a horrible way.. |
| Other: | Arachne was named after the Greek story; Arachne was a great mortal weaver who boasted that her skill was greater than that of Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategy. Arachne refused to acknowledge that her knowledge came, in part at least, from the goddess. Offended by Arachne's arrogance, Athena set a contest between the two weavers. According to Ovid,[1] the goddess was so envious of the magnificent tapestry and the mortal weaver's success, and perhaps offended by the girl's choice of subjects (the loves and transgressions of the gods), that she destroyed the tapestry and loom and slashed the girl's face. “Not even Pallas nor blue-fevered Envy \ Could damn Arachne's work. \ The brown haired goddess Raged at the girl's success, struck through her loom, Tore down the scenes of wayward joys in heaven.″[2] Ultimately, the goddess turned Arachne into a spider. Arachne simply means "spider" (ἀράχνη) in Greek. |
