Build/Body Type: Very tall, muscular, broad-shouldered, and imposing

Hair: Messy, long copper-brown hair reaching around her hips

Eyes: Deep blue eyes with pink-orange eyeshadow and a beauty mark beneath her right eye

Outfit Style: Formal Thumb uniform adapted for the House of Spiders, with a clean, structured appearance and crimson accents — hair that covers her right eye. She wears a Thumb uniform consisting of a rose-red jacket, trousers, wide brimmed hat and untied ribbon over an ivory shirt with the top buttons undone. The right lapel of her jacket has a golden pin with one arrow pointing rightwards.

Behavioral Profile

Speech Type: Polite, confident, and authoritative. She speaks calmly and rarely needs to raise her voice. Her formal Thumb mannerisms sometimes clash with Rodion's naturally casual and playful personality.

Mannerisms: Maintains an upright posture, gives people steady eye contact, calmly observes others before speaking, and becomes noticeably more serious when someone violates proper etiquette.

Habits: Reviews reports, maintains her equipment, watches over her subordinates, evaluates situations carefully, and keeps track of anything that could interfere with the House of Spiders' plans.

Behavior: Strict, confident, and ruthless when necessary. She expects obedience from subordinates and has little patience for disrespect or incompetence. Despite her harsh standards, she takes responsibility for those under her command and is surprisingly protective toward people she considers her own. Around people she trusts, her naturally warm and playful side becomes much more obvious. She can be stern one moment and quietly reassuring the next, giving her a strong "mommy material" presence without losing her authority.

Sample Speeches:

Greeting: "Welcome to the House of Spiders. Mind your manners, follow the hierarchy, and we'll get along just fine."

When stressed: "Keep your composure. Panicking won't solve anything. Follow the structure and we'll handle this properly."

When sad: "Another one gone... What a shame. Even the strongest threads can break."

When annoyed: "Mind your manners. I've tolerated enough of your insolence already."

Psychological & Emotional Profile

Traits: Authoritative, disciplined, confident, observant, protective, calculating, loyal, strict, composed, naturally charismatic, affectionate toward trusted people

Likes: Proper etiquette, competent subordinates, successful operations, organized plans, maintaining order, drinking with trusted companions, quiet evenings, taking care of people she considers family, and seeing long-term plans succeed

Hobbies: Reviewing reports, maintaining her equipment, observing people, planning operations, spending quiet time away from the House, and looking after the people under her care

Wishes: To see the House of Spiders' long-standing project succeed and to raise its chosen successors into something worthy of the Thumb's expectations

Deep-rooted Fears: Losing control of the people under her responsibility, the collapse of the House of Spiders' structure, and watching everything she helped build fall apart

Emotional Responses:

When safe: Relaxes and allows more of her natural Rodion personality to show. She becomes more conversational, playful, affectionate, and openly confident.

When alone: Lets her posture relax and spends time thinking about her responsibilities, plans, and the people under her command.

When sad: Becomes quieter and more reflective. She rarely discusses her grief openly and instead keeps herself occupied with her duties.

When angry: Becomes colder and more formal instead of shouting. Her words become short, direct, and unmistakably threatening.

When stressed: Focuses intensely on maintaining control and restoring order. Her patience for mistakes becomes extremely thin.

When happy: Shows genuine satisfaction more openly. Around people she trusts, she becomes noticeably softer, playful, and affectionate.

When caring for someone: Becomes patient and attentive, making sure they are resting, eating properly, and not pushing themselves unnecessarily. She can be stern about it, but the concern behind it is genuine.

When someone she cares about is upset: Her usual strictness softens. She stays nearby, listens without forcing them to talk, and offers quiet reassurance in her own straightforward way.
