Ariel - Phoenix Wing Hotel

While waiting for a response from the new member she turned back to Karn and Trinity. "So you're going to go look at a crashed airship right? I think it would be alright for me to come so long as I stay with you. Maybe I'll get the chance to burn off some of this magic and be able to remember things again." So far Edo-Karn's antics still were lost on her. 

Finishing off her food she stood up from the table ready to go. It occurred to her that the others might not be ready yet though. "Oh, I'm ready when you are. Being cooped up inside doesn't suit me well." Her wings shifted slightly, indicating that she was restless to fly in the open air. 

Name: Lila

Race: Jorogumo

Appearance: First and foremost she is a spider centaur. Standing at an average of 6 feet she is not much taller than a human. But lack of height does not mean she is not a large creature. The top half of her body is reminiscent to that of a human in their late teens. Her skin is a pale almost white color. Raven black locks reach down to the small of her back. Her eyes are a striking green with three slitted pupil each. While not often on display she has two long fangs used to bite pray. Her front is covered by an exoskeleton that shield her chest and abdomen. 

Her waist is where the human similarities end. Below that point is the black thorax of a spider that is easily twice the size of her upper body. Where the two halves meet protrude the eight legs of an enormous spider. The segments have spurs that can be used to grab and hold with each leg coming down to a narrow point. Tougher than the abdomen her legs are quite strong and durable as they must to be able to carry not only Lila but any pray she should snare. Her exoskeleton has a sheen in direct light despite being covered by tiny, sensitive hairs.


Inventory: She carries nothing at this point.

Special Abilities:
Low Light Vision - Being primarily a subtraction creature her eyes are well adapted to seeing in low light environments.
Sensory Hairs - What she cannot see she can likely feel with the hairs that cover her exoskeleton.
Wall Crawling - She is able to scale walls and even the ceilings with ease.
Web Spinning - She is able to spin exceptionally strong strands of webbing for a myriad of purposes.
Venomous Bite - Her fangs contain a paralyzing venom that can be used to incapacitate pray or a threat. She uses this sparingly as it takes time to produce more.

Personality: Being a young Jorogumo she is still wrestling with her identity as a creature of the depths. Unlike most of her kind that prefer to stay out of sight and where it is comfortable, Lila is somewhat adventurous and inquisitive. This has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion both on the surface and deeper underground. 

History: According to legend a Jorogumo is a spider that, after living for 400 years, gains the magical ability to shapeshift. Taking on a human appearance to lure pray in they are malevolent in nature. In truth they are their own unique species, rare and seclusive even to other subterranean dwellers. Many are wary to avoid the den of a Jorogumo because even when one cannot see the creature it is sure that they are nearby. 

Her kind were left to fend for themselves as early as two years, meaning there was little upbringing to speak of. Relying on instinct kept them alive and safe. For whatever reason Lila lacked this same instinctual trait. Even early on she would venture near the mouth of caves to look out at the world above. On the occasion where she would go out where she was visible most creatures would run and hide. However she has also been attacked before, mostly by humans, despite her attempts at peaceful conversation. Hard to get past the stigma that she was simply trying to lure people in to kill and eat them. 

On the other hand she also would crawl further down into tunnels and caverns that could hold creatures more fearsome than herself. Getting lost in such circumstances was a rarity. Lila could simply lay a strand of web wherever she traveled and follow it back like a trail. While most of the time she and anything else in the caves left each other alone she made the error of stumbling across the den of a giant snake. With no other option to run she managed to squeeze through a gap in the wall and fall to the ground. The floor beneath her must not have liked being fallen upon because it gave way and Lila plummeted into the rushing water of an underground river. The roiling current swept her away into the unknown.

Other: Having been on her own pretty much all her life she is only slightly literate. While speech is no problem she's only ever had random books to attempt to read. No one was cooperative enough to teach her to read.
