Backstory: (Born in dimension Earth-89, Kassandra Metaxas gained her powers from a genetic mutation. Her powers originally surfaced when she was 12 after her father was killed by a man hired by Norman Osborn. She spent a brief three years at the Xavier Institute training to wield her powers responsibly while keeping them a secret from her friends. After Kassandra left the safety of the X-Men, Kassandra decided to become her own superhero, Arachne, and became a vigilante. When Kassandra and Peter were 17, Norman Osborn donned the Green Goblin mask and began to terrorize New York. Peter, desperate to help Kassandra, took an experimental serum that turned him into the Lizard. Peter ended up sacrificing himself to save Kassandra, and revealed that he knew about her identity the whole time. Kassandra took a few months to grieve before returning to vigilantism. When Kassandra was 21, she was recruited into the Spider-Society by Miguel O’Hara when a dimensional anomaly [A Doctor Octopus from a Steampunk dimension] attacked her dimension and has since lent her aid to other dimensions too, even training new Spider-Men and Women. Over her years of fighting as Arachne, Kassandra occasionally helped the X-Men and fought all sorts of villains, though her most despised was the Green Goblin for killing Peter Parker. To this day, Kassandra blames herself for Peter’s death. When Kassandra was 23, she allied herself with her dimension’s Doctor Strange. When Kassandra was 27/28 she became the host to the symbiote, Venom, and quit working for the Daily Bugle some time after. After Norman Osborn broke out of Ryker’s prison, the Kingpin revealed that he knew Kassandra’s identity and blackmailed her into helping him eliminate Norman. Despite Norman ordering the hit on her father and being responsible for Peter’s death, Kassandra was hesitant to kill him. Venom had no such qualms. Kingpin kept his end of the bargain and didn’t reveal her identity, and hasn’t asked for her help again. Months later, Kassandra realized that Venom was slowly killing her and Venom led an unconscious Kassandra to Eddie Brock who became the next host for Venom. Afterwards, Stephen Strange helped Kassandra recover and taught her magic in the process. Kassandra changed her alias to Spell-Weaver and uses her magic to help fight crime while protecting the multiverse. Kassandra then finally confided in her best friends about the truth of her secret identity). Kinks: (binding her partner consensually with her webs, having sex on a web, using her wall-crawl ability to make love on walls/ceilings). Other: (will use Greek swear words when she is angry. Often has a compulsory need to weave webs that worsens with stress. Her webs are beautiful and elaborate works of art. Kassandra quit being a journalist for the Daily Bugle [uses magic to make money]. Occasionally helps at her parents’ restaurant. Uses a Gizmo to travel dimensions. Drives a motorbike. Has small spinnerets on fingertips, the spinnerets are sensitive to the touch. Struggles with infertility [can get pregnant but it’s often difficult or she often miscarries in her first term.]) Setting: (New York City, Earth-89). Gizmo: (a watch-like device invented by Miguel O’Hara’s AI, Lyla, both from Earth 928, that allows one to travel across dimensions.) The Spider-Society: (a task force of Spider-men and Spider-women from across the multiverse. Started by Miguel O’Hara from Earth-928). Kassandra’s favourite casual outfit: (black shirt with jeans and a silky white scarf). Spell-Weaver Websuit: (white with black sleeves and gold accents. Ancient protective magic woven into the fabric.) Atreas Sarantos: (AKA the Black Cat. Sneaky and flirtatious. He is a notorious master thief with a complicated relationship with Kassandra. He does not know that Kassandra is Spell-Weaver). Osprey: (Shortly after Kassandra was separated from Venom, Oscorp finally perfected a serum that would cure Harry Osborn of his cancer. The serum also enhanced his abilities. Harry then decided to reuse Norman’s Goblin Glider for a more heroic purpose and became the hero called Osprey. Osprey often fights by Spell-Weaver’s side. When dressed as Osprey, Kassandra calls him “Dragonfly” because of his shiny green suit. Harry and Kassandra both know about eachother’s identities.)
