Altered some coding



























As to be expected in such a beautiful outstanding creature, the Jorogumo has long been associated with a glamorous femme-fatale yokai both exquisitely beautiful and horrific at the same time.

Known to be twisted and deceitful but just as trusting and caring, Jorogumo is not on any 'side' and has an affinity for no one. There can be times where it is difficult to determine whether or not she is good or evil. Her intentions and motives are unclear, and will never be disclosed by her.

She tends to have an upbeat public attitude, presenting a friendly and wise air around herself. But there is another part of her that isn't so kind. She can ultimately disregard and completely ignore anyone and anything that she has no concern for. If there's something that doesn't involve her or someone dear to her, she couldn't care less about it. She naturally has no respect or regard for any creature she doesn't know; it's her nature.

There are many that have come across her and have befriended her, but only a small few have crawled into the complicated web that is her life and have earned her reverence and even love. She will not associate herself with anyone if she did not have an interest in them to begin with, but it is possible gain her interest, for she can be a very curious creature.

Other forest inhabitants may have similar looks or an origin similar to this unique entity, but she is the only one of her kind; The Jorogumo. The original.

"Weightless. Unknown. Something pure and simple, yet out of reach. Just beyond the grasp of the mind, beyond time. Almost cryptic in meaning, somehow encompassing all emotion."

A dark, esoteric and hauntingly inscrutable being interwoven from conflict and prowess into the easel of emotional experience itself. One of a fairly enormous stature though she moves with surprising stealth and grace. The glamorous hunter, maker of enormous orb webs...bound to linger on.

Appearance


The Visage

Within the mass of silky raven hair is a white face which is like that of a human female. Two large black eyes - spider-like and shiny - make her mood difficult to decipher but her expression seems to remain calculative most of the time. Her white skin with contrasting black lips, eyes, and eyelashes gives her face a strong resemblance to that of a doll or something of a gothic theme. On her chin are two dots that are aligned which may be some sort beauty marks.

Her mouth formation leads to a constant 'smile' of sorts. The lines that extend from the corners of her mouth are in fact still part of her mouth. Only in extreme rage does she fully open her jaws, ripping open the flesh on her cheeks by doing so. With the skin free, her mouth can open to about 90 degrees. This process is painful, but in a short amount of time the skin on her face will heal and seal shut once more.There are two rows of milky white shark-like teeth that fill her mouth. Extremely deadly and shaped with the purpose of slicing and taking chunks of flesh. Her gums and tongue are a black-blue in color.



The Constitution

Her fur is a simple white that is not too dark but not a blinding white either, having gradually lost its brightness over time. Areas such as the chest, neck, tail as well as bases of her front legs, is where the fur is the most thick. Around her underbelly and hindquarters is where it is the shortest.

Many faint scars adorn her body, all from taking part in numerous battles during her time in the forest. The scars on her rear, underbelly, neck, and face are from her ex-mate. Not all of them were given with the intention of showing love.

There is no question about her size; she is massive. If not heavier, then she is certainly taller than most of the forest's inhabitants (being far taller than she is long). Her crown itself adds about two more feet to her height. Though the structure of her body would give some the impression that she is male, she is completely female. Why she is so masculine physically is due the hormone testosterone; a hormone that is required for growing antlers. Unfortunately, her hormone is imbalanced and uncontrolled, and thus her figure was influenced by it and is the shape that it is. Everything from her skeleton's structure and to her muscle has been affected.


The Apex

There is no crown like her own. Many times have her tines been said to resemble a tree's branches or roots. All of it is heavily textured, thick, and coated in a glossy black. Instead of having two individual antlers on her skull, there are seven. On both sides of her head.

It's possible that the one pair of antlers that curl toward her face the most could be sprouting from out of her neck. There are some much smaller protrusions presented further back on her head that may be coming from out of her neck as well, but this hasn't been verified.

Silk webs and flowers of all kinds are a constant presence on her tines due to Barayas placing them there.

Barayas The tiny black spider that lives on Jorogumo's antlers. Barayas may be one of the factors that makes Jorogumo refrain from fighting, since he could end up being killed. It's possible that he may take refuge on another part of her body should she ever be in combat, but no one knows for sure. Jorogumo shares all her secrets and worries with him when he is there to listen. Should he ever die, she would mourn for him deeply, as if she had lost all of the members in her family.

Brun New female tenant. Invited by Barayas (lollll).

Sianna Adores greatly for how affectionate she is and for her frivolous personality, but is fully aware of the disruption this feathered doe is capable of. Finds her to be very endearing regardless, and it would be a lie to say that she hasn't felt temptation or urges around the phoenix more than once.

Pandora - A small, ethereal ebony fawn that Jorogumo was once the adoptive mother of. Often felt what she felt, or knew if something happened to her. Held a fierce, almost animalistic protectiveness for her and almost seemed to be favoring her over her other adopted children. Disowned the fawn when she realized just how much she wasn't around enough for her, so that Fay could be her new mother and do what she could not. Still adores the fawn immensely.

Spirituelle - An old and very close friend. Feels both a maternal-yet-sibling-like bond towards the small white doe.

Illrose Liked immensely. Though the two have become somewhat more distant over time, Jorogumo still considers the dragon doe a very close and good friend.

Shineri - Kody's mate. Adores her for her hyperness. Never fails to have fun when around this shy doe, and makes sure that she always feels welcome.

Djinn - Went out of her way to comfort the doe when she wasn't in the best of moods, and she has become a frequent presence in Jorogumo's life ever since. Always accepting of her company, and thinks of her as a good friend.

Kaoori A very good and long-lasting friend. Has always kept a distant but watchful eye over this small doe, and has been there for her on many occasions. Thinks of her as a sibling despite not seeing her much.

Amazon A little fawn that never fails to make anyone smile. Adores her greatly.

Sho - The son of Waarhijd and Rhad. Sho is considered family because of his connection to her adopted father. Hopes to get to know him more.

Darling - An old and very close friend. Instantly grew attached to him due to how shy and easily startled he was. Likes to call him her 'baby' and dotes him a lot.

Tandem - Earned her interest immediately for his avian qualities (since she has a fascination for birds). Has become quite fond him, and enjoys his company.

Waarhijd - Was a simple forest face at first, but has slowly begun to associate with her more. Would consider her a friend.

Malikorin Was once an adopted brother, now disowned. May possibly ignore his existence from now on, for his sake.

Gustiro Someone she harbored a slight dislike and hesitance towards in the beginning. Helped the red bull multiple times and later began to feel sympathy and concern for him. Cut off the association after attacking him when he came between her and Evania. Still seems to keep a distant eye out for him, and is not as hateful towards him as she once was.

Amadahy Once considered this doe a close friend. While Ama despises her now, Jorogumo harbors no ill will or dislike towards her. She just doesn't care, and has ceased to acknowledge the brown doe's very existence.

Kahli - The demon that used to possess Spirituelle. Finds her to be a pest. Dislikes her.

Beau Shares a deep history with the voodoo stag and has the scars to prove it. Broke away from him when she couldn't tolerate his absences any longer. Now a source of hate rather than love because of her inability to let go of him, even though he is dead (though this is unknown to her) and long gone. While she will deny her sorrow to anyone that would ask about it up front, the separation is still heavy on her mind and is hard for her to bear; just as it was another time before. The constant ache the separation has formed has lead Jorogumo to actually begin searching for someone new. Whether or not she really wants someone else, or just wants something to distract herself with, is unclear.


Other notable relations: Cadaver, Galene, Greitai, Honeyfur, Judas, Morikiah, Maeve, Reed






































Your skull fucked-little lives
In shadows where you hide
A life that was designed
You've been cheated
Oh, so blind

You laid it on the line
These twisted words of time
And how your spirit shines
I wish that you were mine

Yeah lately
I know that I've been crawling
I know that I've been falling
Into your dream

Imagine no more tears
Dissolving all your fears
With tooth and claw we fight
Into this endless night

Imagine no more tears
Dissolving all your fears
With tooth and claw we fight
Into this endless night

Yeah lately...
I know that I've been crawling
I know that I've been falling
Into your dream

I saw my tears in your eyes
You saw your tears in mine
We watched it burn together

I saw my fears in your eyes
You saw your fear in mine
We watched it burn together
Watched it burn
