Arachilia Longley

Arachilia Longley is a Homid Ananasi.

Biography

Arachilia Longley's mother, an Ananasi, was a professor specializing in the study of arachnids, and, as a child, Arachilia often accompanied her on field trips throughout the area. Her father was a folklorist specializing in Afro-American and non-European cultures. Shortly after Arachilia's transformation, her father died of a heart attack, and Arachilia privately suspects that he finally buckled under the stress of keeping secret the true nature of his wife and daughter. Arachilia's mother succumbed to bouts of depression after the loss of her husband. When Arachilia was eighteen, her mother went on a solitary caving expedition from which she never returned, leaving her daughter to fend for herself. Because of this, Arachilia has become wary of developing close ties with humans. Instead, she found a home for herself in Linville Caverns, where her resemblance in Crawlerling form to the cavern's native spiders has afforded her a safe haven.

In Homid form, Arachilia is a tall, willowy dark-skinned woman with elaborately corn-rowed hair. She favors African-style clothing in rich, dark patterns. Her movements are stately and elegant and she turns heads whenever she interacts in human society. Her Pithus form combines her natural elegance with a formidable appearance, although she more closely resembles the pale Nesticus carolinensis (Linville Caverns Spider, indigenous to the Linville cave system) than she does the black widow shape of other Ananasi. Her Lilian form is attractive in a nightmarish sort of way and beats ritual scarification marks in honor of Queen Ananasa. Her Crawlerling form is a cluster of small cave spiders and attracts no unusual attention in her natural habitat. It is, in fact, her best disguise, since the Linville Caverns Spiders are protected by the operators of the caverns.
