Appearance Description: Moffit is a holy centauric hybrid of spider and elf. Her main spider body is a glossy black, her skin is faintly green (the natural color one’s skin should be, yes?), and her hair is frizzy white. Her four eyes don’t quite blink in sync, and her upper fangs stick out of her mouth even when it is shut.
As she was whisked away in the middle of her world’s Summer Festival’s purification ritual, Moffit was dumped onto Earth still wearing the traditional red ritualistic attire, rather than something more durable or warm. All she has are the jewelry, the chestpiece, and the abdomen cover. She stubbornly refuses Earthling clothing. Though, she did make herself a rather… “interesting” patchwork pelt cloak to keep herself warm in the winter.

Personality Description: Moffit was once a hard-partying priestess of an elf-spider, but the shock of ending up on Earth has made her a bit… antisocial, to put it lightly. She sometimes threatens to eat people. Whether it’s a joke or not is up for debate, but she looks pretty serious about it…
- Positive Traits: This spider is determined, hard-working, and not afraid to get dirty. Or bloody, as it may be.
- Negative Traits: Unfortunately, Moffit’s fierce independence often translates into a habit of refusing even the most well-meant of aid. She’s maybe a little too quick to whip out her knife.
Biography: In an alternate realm, one where spider elves known as Spynstirs populate a location known as the Red Glades, all was peaceful, and all was well. Life was going especially well for Moffit, a priestess-in-training of the benevolent earth goddess Diunlum. Moff had just been initiated into her order, finally having moved out of her parent’s web to earn her own income and live her own life. No more days spent minding dozens of little siblings! No more parent-dictated chores! Revels! Gay kissing! WHOO!
She was living the dream.
But as with any good dream, Moff was to be ripped awake into an unwelcoming reality. A yearly purification ritual gone horribly wrong ripped open the fabric of reality and sent Moffit tumbling into the Earth we know and love so well. Specifically, she wound up in the greatest centerplace of magic on this version of Earth — Manta Carlos. Shortly after poofing into a town square and having a very public panic about the alien world she was so abruptly thrown into, Moffit was briefly detained by law enforcement. It took awhile for the “where this is” explanation to sink in. It took even longer to get her paperwork and an official citizenship — necessary, seeing as no-one was quite sure how to send her back to where she was from.
It’s been hard, adjusting to a world where she has no goddess-connection, a limited of the culture and language, and a voracious hunger to appease. It’s a little harder considering that her pride means that she won’t take help from strangers. As of the moment, the little skitter prefers to stick to the forbidden forest.

Active Abilities:
- Silver Silk: This spider’s got a lot of silk stored up in her spinnerets. Assuming she’s well-fed enough to produce it, she tends to produce and store enough to wrap up an adult human being per day. It’s strong stuff — imagine a rope, but made of all the sticky stuff on the bottom of duct tape. And it’s nice and shiny when it dries out. Takes a few days for it to do that.
- Very Specific Venom: Moffit’s cute little fangs contain a special chemical concoction that was very useful in her home universe. On insects and arachnids, this venom can be deadly. Any insect smaller than a poodle will find their insides melting together upon injection. Larger insects will find themselves paralyzed from the searing pain, which lasts anywhere from a minute to half an hour depending on just how big they are. Non-insects will feel… slightly itchy and then briefly numb around the area of the bite. She only generates and stores enough venom for two bites per day.
- Wall Crawl: Thanks to her arachnid legs, Moffit is able to skitter up challenging vertical surfaces without much trouble. This, as one can imagine, is supremely useful in helping her escape frightening situations or ambush prey from above.
Passive Abilities:
- Natural Armor: When it comes to her exoskeleton-covered legs and abdomen, Moffit’s somewhat sturdier than the average flesh creature. They have a similar strength to leather armor.
- Soundless Stepping: Because her teeny-tiny spider feets have such little surface area, and are so soft on the bottom, Moffit doesn’t make very much noise when she walks. She’s pretty quiet even trouncing through crunchy autumn leaf little.
- Swift Spider: As she’s an ambush predator, Moffit is good at going from zero to sixty in an instant. However, while her speed’s pretty good, she has considerably less stamina. She tires very quickly if she tries to keep up such a quick pace.
Weaknesses:
- Antsy Around Insecticide: Moffit is heavily allergic to insecticides, receiving pretty bad rashes whenever she comes into contact with them.
- Voracious: Having such a high metabolism means that Moffit has to consume at least half her bodyweight in food per day. That roughly equates to a 150 lb of food at day.

Common Magical Items: None — not even a language charm. She prefers to learn languages herself.
Resources:
- Comfy Cloak - A very large, heavy cloak stiched together out of animal hide and dried spider silk. Has a girl’s best friend — deep pockets.
- Sacrificial Dagger - A fancy knife made out of iron. It was supposed to be used to sacrifice insectoid livestock to Diunlum, a nature-goddess from her homeworld. Right now, Moffit uses it as a stabby-thing to defend herself in this world of freaky flesh-creatures… and hunting. She needs her meats.
- Web Sweet Web: Over the course of a few months, using only her silk and some animal hides, Moffit strung together a pretty cozy resting place at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. It’s roughly cocoon-shaped, and has a nice firepit in the center. Nice.

Additional Information: Moffit possesses a plurality of themesongs.
- Likes: Food, peace and quiet, the thrill of the hunt, pockets and pouches and purses, meat, web art, swearing, reminders of home.
- Hates: Noisy folk, things that don’t properly die when stabbed.
