Meet my OC Spider-Weaver (Spider-Woman, Earth 50513)
For the next few paras Iโm gonna rant abt my spidersona :D this might not make any sense at all bc Iโm just rambling at this point but here we go anyway! (a small warning, this is going to be a LONG post)
All images are from Pinterest!
TW: Mentions of death, some queerphobia/homophobia (judgemental aunties suck)
Name: Nikita Raina (pronounced Rhi-na like rhino but with an โaโ at the end instead of an โoโ) (yes sheโs South-Indian and yes this is me projecting)
Alias: Spider-Weaver*
Basic stuff to know:
-Sheโs loosely based off of a golden silk orb-weaver spider! Iโm not going to attach an image but if you donโt mind staring at spiders then I suggest you look them up, theyโre actually really pretty!!
-Sheโs been learning ballet since she was 3, picked up gymnastics for 2 or 3 years and then quit
-South-Indian
-Complete empath
-INCREDIBLE at knitting/crocheting/macramรฉ knotting - basically anything involving thread + working with your hands. She literally works magic with yarn. She crocheted matching gloves for all of the Spiderteens one day after finding out that Hobieโs universe is COLD and his fingers are COLD and if sheโs going to be holding his hand when itโs like that then sheโll freeze
Fighting Style:
Her fighting style is more aerobic and dynamic than the regular Spider-Man swings; she incorporates jetรฉs and leaps from ballet into it while also using mid-air somersaults and other high-speed flips she picked up from gymnastics. She also teaches herself kalari adimurai (a South-Indian martial art similar to kalaripayittu) later on so she uses a few moves from that as well.
*The reason behind her alias being Spider-Weaver is that her web style has more of a lacy crochet feel to it than a regular spiderweb. This is what one of her webs would look like:
Her webs are bionic and on her web shooters she has built-in settings for the thickness and stretchiness of the crochet web. For example:
She can also switch up the style of her webs depending on how she feels yk? Like if sheโs not vibing with any of the more plain ones she can switch to โจ fancier โจ stitches like
Arcade Stitch:
Lacy Stitches:
Fan Trellis Stitch:
And lots more. Sheโs basically got almost all crochet stitches as different settings on her web shooters. An added bonus is that theyโre not only unique and quite pretty, but theyโre also stronger and more durable than the average single-thread (unwoven) webs.
Backstory:
(canon events will be in red)
-She was bitten at 13. Her older brother (heโs 20, they have a 7 year gap) Ravi figured out something was wrong fairly early but she played it off as nothing, put his worries to rest and found her way as Spider-Woman on her own
-She was best friends with her universeโs Gwen Stacy since they were in kindergarten. She started freaking out few years into their friendship (theyโre in middle school now) once they had become basically inseparable because she started feeling giddy and bubbly and getting butterflies around Gwen.
-Poor girl was basically terrified because her aunties (mostly her motherโs sisters) would constantly pressurise her by asking her if she had her sights set on a boy yet or discussing how her marriage to a boy would go once she was older - those prodding conversations and speculations only reinforced her fears that she wouldnโt be accepted and instead would be frowned upon if she told her family that she had a crush on a girl. So she became more withdrawn and distanced herself a little, so as to not to lose the favour of her family.
-Nikita is 14 at this point
-One day she accidentally told Ravi and she went quiet, expecting him to shame her or mock her but instead he just hugged her and told her he loved her no matter what, and guess what,, heโs queer (pan) too :D
-Fast forward to a few weeks later after an almost-death scare as Spider-Woman fighting her dimensionโs Vulture (she slipped up, miscalculated a leap and almost got herself killed) she finally worked up the courage to tell Gwen because it seems like she returns her feelings too! So she goes up to her and they hug and theyโre talking and sheโs about to confess- But noooo
-Green Goblin attacks in the middle of the school day, during a student art & drama exhibition thing (the parents are all there) and hahaha guess what Gwenโs right in the middle of it
-So Green Goblin basically splits the school building in two and sheโs on the terrace and she falls down almost 15 feet because the whole thingโs cracked and Nikita doesnโt have enough time to swing to reach her since there are so many people and sheโs on the far, far side and-
-Gwen hits the ground at full force. Niki gets there just in time for her last breath and itโs a little bit like the Gwen-Peter 65 scene from ATSV (Nikiโs Gwen slowly figured out that sheโs Spider-Woman, she just didnโt say anything) yeah I might write out this scene sometime idk
-She manages to deal with Green Goblin for the moment but she loses her dad in the chaos too (basically instead of losing her uncle she lost her dad)
-So she lost her best friend and her father in one go
-She closes herself off and withdraws completely into herself and distances herself from everybody (except Ravi),, & starts going to ballet more to take her mind off things and to get lost in ballet, with the graceful, controlled movements so she doesnโt have to think of how everythingโs gone wrong
-During the mourning period she and Ravi grow closer; they both start leaning more on each other and are able to tell each other anything
-Ravi has also started training to be a cop at this point
-Her relationship with her mother grows slightly strained and shaky the older she gets, because of how closed off sheโs become
-Fast forward to when Nikita is 16 and a half and the Vulture attacks particularly viciously one day, right on the bridge (the Brooklyn Bridge variant in her universe)
-Her brother (who is now a police captain, despite being a little young) is in the middle of the maelstrom of cars being flung and buildings at the end collapsing. He - a police captain close to Spider-Woman - dies saving a child from falling rubble.
-That does a number on Nikita mentally and she just. Shuts herself down in terms of feeling emotion for a bit
-Like she just goes numb, like sheโs in denial about how many people sheโs lost in such a short time
-Terrified to make friends or get attached because her losing someone she cares about deeply seems to be a recurring pattern
-The only one she has left is her mom, and sheโs grown really distant from her
-Little bit irrelevant but she takes up psychology. She studies how the emotional part of brain works, studies some basic therapy and other think-y stuff like that, and some of her Spider-Woman โjabsโ (not really but I canโt think of a word for them rn) are things like โdid something formative happen to you as a child? yeah I thought I sensed some childhood trauma, would you like to talk about it?โ And stuff like that (sheโs pretty genuine about it too, if they start talking instead of just attacking her then she will sit down with a mug of chai and just listen to them rant)
-Anyway fast forward to a year and a half later when sheโs 18
-Jessica Drew ends up following an anomaly sheโs been tracking into Nikitaโs dimension, the anomaly manages to get the upper hand on her and has almost overpowered her when Nikita finally swings in (probably during/right after a psychology exam too) and uses the element of surprise + her speed to get the upper hand on the anomaly and web it up
-She was recruited into the Spider-Society by Jess after she saw how capable and quick-thinking Niki could be. She saw her as someone who could be a useful asset to the society.
-Itโs there where she met Hobie, Gwen, Pavitr, Margo, Miguel and Peter B. + a few other spiders she became friends with (Iโll expand on their relationships in a different post)
Suit design:
(I will be drawing this out properly sometime soon, donโt worry!! Feel free to skip this part if you think itโs too complicated ^^ I really have no idea how to describe it in a simpler way lmao)
-mainly shades of gold, black highlights
-on her arms there are black โcuffโ markings like a golden silk spiderโs legs
-on her wrists she has black bangles (more like cuffs bc they fit around her wrists, they arenโt loose & dangly)
-wears black fingerless sleeves, they look a little bit like Gwenโs but they have black splotches (a little bit like spray paint blobs) instead of spiderwebs
-has a black spider on the front of the suit
-wears a necklace! itโs colourful and has some mismatched colourful beads on a chord and two pendants in the centre, one pendant is a paint-splashed red electric guitar, the other pendant is one of Hobieโs rings
-wears black ballet pointe shoes
-the eye outline is black, the โeyeโ inside is pastel golden
-black ๐ธ๏ธ patterns on the side of both of her shoulders (like painted pauldrons)
Abilities:
-Along with the super-strength, super-speed and accelerated healing of the average Spider-Person, she can sense emotions and thoughts.
Not mind-reading exactly but if she focuses hard enough she can sense whatever emotion is radiating out of that particular personโs mind (she used to get very overwhelmed in middle school bc of the sheer amount of envy and insecurity and other emotions in raging hormonal teenagersโ brains and somehow studying psychology helped her figure out how to tune it out a little bit, since every time she can sense too much of intense emotions itโs like constantly blowing a dog whistle around a dog,, and she also gets horrible migraines and headaches from it)
She can even read thoughts if the emotion associated with it is strong enough.
An added ability that stems from being able to sense emotions and thoughts (to some degree) is that she can sometimes predict the moves that an enemy might make before they actually make them. Itโs not 100% accurate every time but itโs still pretty useful
Iโll write out her relationships (everyone already knows that Hobieโs no. 1 on that list lmao) and the world descriptions later, but for now hereโs the character thatโs been living in my head since I saw ATSV :D
Oh also sheโs besties with @hobiebrownismygod โs sona Maitreyi :D desis gotta stick together yk (putting this here so I donโt forget to mention it in the relationships post ^^)
