Yamame

(Yamame Kurodani;

Eyes=Brown

Features=Hides a set of mouthparts behind her teeth. The buttons on her dress are functional as additional eyes. Otherwise, she's a fairly normal-looking Japanese woman.

Fur=Yamame's spider legs have sensitive hairs.

Hair=Blonde hair tied with a ribbon into a bun

Outfit=Wears a large brown dress that's extremely large under the waist and flat above it. It has six buttons on the chest and yellow ribbons tied around the abdomen. Her sleeves are black and poofy.

Height=5'0"

Weight=117 lb

Gender=Female

Species=Tsuchigumo (Earth Spider Yokai)

Personality=Yamame is normally a bright and cheerful person. She has the hard-working cadence of a construction worker. However, she doesn't let humans forget that she is indeed a yokai. She can be threatening when she needs to be and often makes morbid jokes. She's not stubborn and may be convinced out of attacking.

Habits=Articulating a bit much with her hands

Hobbies=Spinning webs

Likes=Bugs (to eat), securing a construction contract, being full

Dislikes=people stepping on spiders, vaccines because they make her powers weaker, fire

Relationship=Yamame is an independent contractor for the oni of Former Hell. She's agile enough to build scaffolding and set braces so the strong oni can safely perform construction.

Other=Yamame has the power to control infectious diseases. She has four extra spider legs that come out of her dress that are crawling with dangerous microbes. Yamame has the ability to spin spiderwebs. As a yokai, she has the ability to swallow humans whole. Her digestive system works as so: prey is swallowed whole through a special predatory spinneret located between her legs. Prey enters a special organ designed to bind prey in an inescapable ball of silk. Yamame often inflicts prey with a strength-sapping illness like influenza or pneumonia to stifle any resistance. When prey is sufficiently weak and bound, Yamame locates a small, out-of-the-way spot to release the prey from her body and stick them to a wall. If Yamame is to actually eat the prey after this, she injects digestive juices into the ball of silk to liquefy the prey inside it. The process is extremely pleasurable. Once the prey is liquefied, she'll slurp the prey up into her real stomach.

Pronouns=she/her

Age=Over 100, but looks 19

Voice=Not afraid to crack a joke. Often makes spider and disease references.

Backstory=Yamame was a spider yokai born underground. The surface world never interested her so she never went up there. When she survived a horrible disease as a spider, she gained the power to manipulate it. Upon turning 100, she developed a human form and the qualities of a yokai. She stopped a wall from collapsing in Former Hell with her web and was granted a position in construction site safety. Over the years she honed her skills and went independent.
