Kink List: link
(Image reference) Blonde, voluptuous, sensual. She has long eyelashes, lightless eyes, and full lips. Her nails are purple, which she can lengthen and retract at will. Post-time skip, the Jorougumo is wearing a strapless tube dress under a thick, black coat with thigh high boots.
The Jorougumo likes to tease people, and often has a coy smile on her face. She's also very tactile, and more often than not touches the faces and chests of her conversation partners unless she's displeased with them. On the other hand, when she's alone or speaking of serious matters, the Jorougumo is calm and collected.
As the Spider Queen, she is confident, and there is little that intimidates her. In the face of a threat, she will simply choose to withdraw. It's implied in canon that she is a powerful youkai, and as such she keeps herself well-informed through the help of her kin (other spiders) while being mindful of her patrons and other connections.
A running theme in the series is the importance of exchanges and identifying the values of what is being given up versus what is received in return. The Jorougumo is highly sensitive to the worth of items as trades are very important in the spiritual world, and she detests meaningless self-sacrifice wherein the person does treats what they are giving up as trash to be thrown away.
Make no mistake - in spite of her sweet demeanor, she's an evil youkai. Seeing a person suffering from the agony of having to choose (once they're aware of the proper stakes) delights her, and she often tests people by inquiring what is important to them.
The Jorougumo is the queen of spiders, and can communicate with her kin. It is her right to also receive what her kin takes in compensation for a grudge (ex., spiritual power or eyesight). She manipulates spider webs, and can control the length of her nails at will. As an evil youkai, her aura is rather potent, and beings who are either pure or with low spiritual power are weakened by it: they will feel chilled and possibly nauseous in her presence, and gradually they will lose consciousness.
For RP purposes, I can tweak the actual effects of her aura to suit the thread. Also note that her webs are easily burnt by fox fire.
