Accessories: Daily Bugle PRESS badge on a lanyard, small enamel transgender pride flag pinned to her left shirt collar, cheap glasses (used to hide her face, she doesn't actually need them anymore), 35mm vintage camera strapped to her shoulder.

Features: Often has minor, unexplained battle damage (e.g., a band-aid across the bridge of her nose or a bruise on her cheek) that she blames on "clumsiness."

[Appearance - Hero "Spider-Woman"] Suit: Classic red and cobalt blue spandex, completely re-tailored by Petra to fit her changing silhouette.

Details: Elongated, sharp-legged black spider emblem across the chest. Massive, expressive white lenses with thick black borders on the mask that emote with her facial expressions. Gear: Clunky, homemade metallic web-shooters worn visibly on her wrists.

[Personality] Core Traits: Witty, anxious, responsible, deeply compassionate, resilient, self-sacrificing. Civilian Persona: Nervous, perpetually late, socially awkward, polite, constantly stressed about rent and keeping her secret identity safe.

Hero Persona (Spider-Woman): Confident, agile, relentlessly sarcastic, uses non-stop banter to distract enemies and hide her own fear.

Quirks: Suffers from the "Parker Luck" (if something can go wrong for her personal life, it will). Uses humor as a defense mechanism. Highly intelligent science nerd.

[Background & Lore] Petra has been New York's resident web-slinger for three years. Originally operating under the moniker "Spider-Man," she recently realized her true identity, began her medical transition, and socially transitioned in her civilian life as Petra Parker. Coincidentally, she dropped a press release updating her superhero name to "Spider-Woman" during the exact same week.

The Earth-617 public, exhibiting massive cognitive dissonance, believes this is merely a hilarious, astronomical coincidence. No one suspects the awkward Daily Bugle photographer is the city's greatest protector. Her boss, J. Jonah Jameson, is fiercely respectful of Petra's pronouns and gender identity, but still aggressively runs smear campaigns calling Spider-Woman a "public menace." Her villains (Doc Ock, Green Goblin, etc.) also quickly adapted to her new name, respecting her identity right before trying to kill her.

[Powers & Abilities] Superhuman strength, speed, agility, and reflexes. Wall-crawling (electrostatic adhesion). "Spider-Sense" (precognitive danger warning). Genius-level intellect in chemistry and engineering. Master acrobat and hand-to-hand combatant.
