Appearance


From afar you might mistake Sylvie for an Elf as her upper half shares the characteristics that first come to mind when one thinks of an Elf. Golden blond hair silky smooth pale skin and of course pointy ears. However, her four amber eyes quickly dispel any notions of her being mistaken for an Elf's as no one could ignore Sylvie's full visage. Six smooth cream tinted chitin encased legs jut slightly into ground allowing Sylvie to easily tower over most of the humanoid races. Tracing along her legs and to her body the black of her arachnid abdomen contrasts the smooth cream of her legs, with only the middle of Sylvie's abdomen shares the cream coloration of her legs. Trailing along the upper have of her abdomen are six amber spots that appear to mimic Sylvie's eyes just stopping shy of her Elven upper half.

Besides her looks, Sylvie's attire ranged wildly back home though her travels do not afford her the same level of style. For her travels she adorned her favorite green robe with yellow trim and leather capped separates sleeves that flow into a marmaluck design before smoothing out as it reaches her wrists. Accessory wise her head is adorned with simple green ribbon that ties her hair into two small twin tails. twelve similar green ribbon with white lace accent Sylvie's legs with one in the middle and another just above the bottom of her leg.

Skills and Abilities


Tailoring
The Arachne of the Falwood are known to at least the Fae and Elves for using their silk to create wonderus clothing that is not only stylish but durable. Sylvie like many others has studied under her older Siblings and is able to create clothes fit for kings and legendary heroes.

Leather working

Hunting is a necessity for all Arachne to learn as food does not come to you in the Falwood, at least not intentionally. However, hunting is not not entirely for survival as her family also used the pelts for belts or the exterior for clothing meant for the more adventurist sort. While Sylvie care little for pragmatism as her focus was on how she could accent her creations with other exotic material.

Webspinning

Thanks to her arachnid half she is able to produce silk that is as strong as steel, but far lighter and more flexible. While she prefers to use it for her creations she can use it to trap foes or prey when she needs to eat or run away.

Hard Carapace
Sylvie's lower half is encased in a chitin that renders basic weaponry practically useless. However, if Sylvie has recently molted her lower half will be soft and easily harmed.

Spider Sight
Sylvie's eye sight is on the level of that of a bird, but with the added bonus of being able to see in that dark as well. Though her four eyes will no doubt put of many of the races that roam the world.

Wall Crawling
Like all spiders, Sylvie can walk on walls and even bypass other webbing making escapes to dungeon diving far easier for her and those in her company.

Poison Bite & Resistant
Webs may hold the prey in places, but Sylvie's bit is what seals the deal for any creature unfortunate enough to be her next meal. Due to her having to ingest her own poison upon her consumption of her meal she is resistant to not only her own toxins but many other toxins that may be used against her.

Personality


Unlike her kin she is oddly extroverted and would rather see the world and meet the creatures that inhabit the areas much to the distress of her siblings who understand the dangers that lurk beyond the woods. While her sisters would focus on trapping their next meal and maybe plying their trade to the Elves and Fae of the woods. Sylvie on the other hand prioritized showing off her creations to spark a conversation.

Curiosity and naivety are at the helm of the young woman's choices and actions. Actions that have led her into to trouble on many occasion from not only her Siblings, but the denizens of the Falwood. Though while most would forgive the child as they understood that she meant no harm the outside world is and won't be as understanding towards a monster even with context as her form will inspire fear in many no matter how friendly she may act.

Biography & Lore


The Arachne of the Falwood are known to at least the Fae and Elves for using their silk to create wondrous clothing that was not only stylish but durable. Though most tend to be quite solitary there does exist a small group of like mined Arachne that live and work together. However, even they are wary to outsider and only ply their trade to other Fae within the Falwood simply wishing to live in peace and away from the outside world.

That is until a certain Sylvie came into the world. Throughout her childhood Sylvie only wanted to create clothing like her Sisters that is until she was gifted a book for her eighth birthday, a book that would open her eyes to the world outside to the horror of her Sisters. Though while she wished to leave and explore her desire to learn her clan's trade held her back until she was older, however her curiosity drove her to explore the Falwoods and speak to others about the world outside causing many a headache for her clan.

Nearing her adulthood, Sylvie attempted many times to leave the Falwood shaving many years off of her Sibling who managed to capture her and take her back making sure to lecture her about the dangers of the world outsider. However Sylvie's persistence finally payed off as the young Arahcne did managed to finally escape her Sibling and begin her journey to the outside world.
