Nephila

"...While it may be your salvation and the one payment I can offer to you, I still do not recommend that you take this invitation. For in that shrine… You will meet. Not with death, as the late lord has warned you. But with my Master, who knows It as an equal. To those who Starve... She always will answer. But truth be told, when it comes to spiders... It's best if they do not take notice of you."

- Golden Orb Nephila

Summary
In a sense, the eponymous heroine of the Golden Orb Nephila Oneshot. A character made by FateAlbane. The story she appears in can be read in the following blog posts:

- Chapter 1

- Chapter 2

- Chapter 3: Part (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5)

So as to avoid as many spoilers as possible (considering that her story is actually translated and uploaded here in FC/OC), I probably won't give her a summarized Synopsis like most of my other characters. There will still be some spoilers due to the profile itself, however, so if you intend to read her story, it's probably best to avoid this until you do so.

Appearance
For most of the story, Nephila wasn't any different from any other golden silk orb-weaver. Towards the end of it, she assumes a human guise, however, which should look like this, as a little girl (pic to be added):

Personality

Powers and Stats
Tier: 10-C | Unknown, possibly 7-C

Name: Nephila, Golden Orb Nephila

Origin: Golden Orb Nephila  (Oneshot)

Age: 400 years old

Gender: Female

Classification: Spider, Spider-Youkai, Atlach Nacha's Servant

Powers and Abilities: Limited Soul Manipulation (able to see and interact with Spiritual substances), Thread Manipulation (her webs could capture small spirits), Limited Illusion Manipulation, Limited Absorption (can absorb residual energies from the material and spiritual worlds)  | Superhuman Physical Characteristics, likely has Poison Manipulation  (spider youkai have a poisonous bite that can paralyze one's nervous system and spirit, then liquefy both), Empathic Manipulation (Like other Jorōgumo, she should be able to freely manipulate the feelings of men), Illusion Manipulation (spider youkai can hide their webs with illusions or confuse the senses with mirage-like manifestations of scenery and figures, recquiring something akin to intuition or a sharp sense of the supernatural to see through their tricks), Shapeshifting (Youkai of her kind can change their form at will), Summoning  (can summon lower spider servants, who are capable of breathing fire ), Absorption (can suck spiritual energy, the mind and the soul of captured preys),  Magic (youkais of her kind employ magic power on top of their youki for most of their techniques), Teleportation (as a 400 years old youkai, she should be able to easily perform Spiriting Away, which Chiasa disregarded as "some basic sleight of hand" that any supernatural entity could do) Resistance to Fire (servant spiders and her webs deal with and resist spiritual fire), Chi, Mind and Soul Manipulation  (Should be very much capable of engaging in battle against youkais who actively use these powers in battle), can affect the soul with her conventional techniques

Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (Not any stronger than a spider.)| Unknown, possibly Town Level (while scaling her to a powerful Tengu guard like Chiasa would be iffy, she should be as powerful as other Youkai of similar age. As her spider servants haven't been sealed like she was, Atlach stated in Sightseeing Psions that powerful enough spiders that were infused with her blessing should be around the same level as herself IF raw power alone is considered, disregarding experience and techniques.)

Speed: Below Average Human (Can only move as fast as a spider can. Is also sealed to the limits of her web so she can't move much in the first place.) | Unknown

Lifting Strength: Unknown.

Striking Strength: Street Class, Wall Class with Hyperion Mode

Durability: to be added

Range: Melee range physically, a few dozen meters for Evil Glare, as far as her eye can see for Malevolent Counterpart.

Stamina: Average.

Intelligence: '''Quite experient, wise and knowledgeable of the human and spiritual worlds, as well as youkai. However, she was ultimately hindered in her learning due to spending her life sealed and observing the same place throughout the years, as per Atlach's orders'''.

Weaknesses:
 * Normal spider weaknesses in her pre-transformation state.
 * Should be weak against divine or holy powers of any kind.

Notable Techniques/Attacks
