View attachment 7063 Nicknames: Itzi, Mitz Age: 17 Race: Drider - The upper half of a human, lower half of a spider. Her face is somewhere in between, being a human face but with 5 eyes and an arachnid's jaw, and lacking ears. Her spider half is loosely based on a tarantula. Height: 5'0" - Relatively short for her age Weight: 151lbs - About 25% heavier than an average human of her age Suitable RPs: Low power fantasy (no superheroes or gods lol), Slice of life
Alignment: Neutral Good Personality: The best word to describe Mitzi would probably be innocent. She's not the kind of spider to bite, and is genuinely friendly and considerate. She tries to be as cute and approachable as possible, but being born part-spider is usually enough to scare full-fledged humans and insectoids away from her. It saddens her a little, but she fully understands why they fear her and doesn't hold any grudges for it. If anyone were to ever compliment her appearance, she'd get all bashful about it.
She's very fashion-conscious, though her opinion of what constitutes as "fashionable" is open for debate. She often wears black in order to match her spider half, and favours dark blues, reds and purples in her wardrobe. She is the kind of girl who appreciates getting clothes for her birthday every year.
In the drider community, Mitzi is known for being adventurous, and is in fact the only member of her family to ever visit Nexus City. She loves exploring places she's never visited before, and the ever-changing environment of the Nexus is perfect for doing just that! She's highly extroverted and is likely to start conversations with total strangers, even if they're less inclined to talk to her. In that sense she can be a little clingy or persistent. When she does make friends, she likes to invite them to do things in town.
Despite being a big scary spider lady, and despite being highly social, Mitzi is skittish in the face of hostility. She would much rather run away than stand up for herself. If she absolutely has to fight, her tactics are sneaky and underhanded. She relies on surprise attacks and traps to tilt the battle in her favour.
Likes: Ribbons, bunnies, mosquitoes (as food), gummy sweets, being called cute, hugs, papercraft, embroidery, dark places Dislikes: Frogs, germs, mint, rain, fighting, long distance running, scary movies
Origin: Mitzi was born in a drider community who had settled in a cave she never even learned the name of. Most of the beings there just referred to it as "home" so home it was. Mitzi was the exploratory type, so after she'd gotten bored of the world inside the cave she naturally proceeded to venture outside and get her first taste of sunlight.
For aeons home was completely disconnected from the Nexus, but soon after Mitzi turned 17 there was news of strange creatures appearing in the cave the likes of which none had ever seen. A rift had opened someplace near the cave's entrance, brought the creatures here, and it was in no way temporary.
At first the driders were wary, only to discover that the newcomers were just as cautious of them. Neither side really had any reason to harm each other, so they made a peaceful resolution. Unfortunately the explorers weren't really in control of the rift between the two realms. It had just appeared in one of the forests of the Nexus as suddenly as it had appeared by the home cave.
Mitzi was the first to discover the portal, being the only drider mad enough to ever want to go outside, so with reckless abandon in she went!
Powers:
Arachnid: Mitzi inherits many skills from her spider half. She can spin webs, walk on walls/ceilings and hang upside down on a thread indefinitely. She can also communicate with spiders.
Venom: Mitzi's bite is lightly venomous. It is fatal for most small animals, but for larger ones all it does is leave an annoying itch that lasts a few days. It has no effect at all on other driders. Her saliva has similar properties. She also has a high tolerance against various toxins, including traditional insecticides.
Shrink: Mitzi can shrink herself to the size of an actual spider and revert back to her normal size at will. The process takes about a minute and happens gradually, as she has to channel mana throughout her entire body to do it. She can interrupt the channeling partway if she wants to be any size in between.
Night Eyes: Mitzi's vision is attuned to darkness, so she can see much better in the dark. Having 5 eyes enables her to track multiple objects at once, and also makes her more difficult to blind.
Sticky Hair: Mitzi's hair is incredibly stiff, and her drills seem to defy gravity when she's upside down.
Weaknesses:
Fire: Mitzi and her webs are highly flammable. She's also cold-blooded, so she gets light-headed easily when exposed to heat.
Mint: Mitzi finds the smell of mint absolutely repulsive and it's an effective way of keeping her away.
Literal Weakness: Mitzi's physical strength isn't very high. She can't lift heavy objects and she performs poorly in direct combat.
Trivia:
Mitzi's first name is a loose reference to the popular nursery rhyme: The Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Her surname, Klein, is simply the German word for small.
Mitzi has 8 legs and 2 arms, giving her a total of 10 appendages.
