=Description=
 +
 
 +
==Family background==
 +
 
 +
The Arashi Clan's blood and ninjutsu were a rival of the Saitou family in ages past. Taking elemental Ninjutsu in a very different direction then the Saitou, and their allies.  In stead of focusing on internal Chi reserves, and elements as forms. The Susanoo no Nijutsu (as they rather arrogantly call it). Focuses on learning and changeing how Chi changes forms out side the body.  As such they tend to focus on processes in nature, particularly weather for inspiration, and the higher ranked abilities focus on affecting others chi attacks.  Their mix of ranged and close in effects, and thier study of counter attacks and redirection, rendered them particularly useful as gaurds and noise makers. The saying was "If you want something done you hire a Saitou, if you wanted it done, and your foe exhausted you hire a Arashi."  Their family philosophy says that being seen is often just as important as not being seen, and focuses on the tactical and strategic feint.

However during the modern Ninja era they became firm supporters of the Council, and while not one of the truly powerful Clans, their voice was heard. This made their almost complete turning to the Betrayers Side even more of a shock. Only about a dozen Ninjas disobeyed the Clan's Head Family and stayed true to the Council. The war ended up killing the majority of the Arashi Clan on both sides, leaving only 3 adult Ninjas and a few children on the Council side. Miho's Mother was one of those Ninja. Knowing that her family was doomed uless its numbers increased she mostly retired after the war concentrating on raising her children, and passing on the family art.

==Backstory==
+
==The current clan==  
 +
(note no members of the head family, named Arashi, still live on the Loyalist side)
  
Latrodecta's memories are very hazy.  She woke up in a very expensive house, in a very large room that appeared to contain both vast amounts of computer equipment and machine tools and mystical designs on the floor, traced in blood.... and thirteen corpses.
+
Miho's Mother - Arashiki Sakura - Is a hard and fierce woman, that has seen to many friends die on one hand, and had to give up a promising carrier in order to give her clan a future. Known to friends as the bear she takes people aback when they see how *short* she is, and her skinny almost childish frame does not help. Still she takes her duties very seriusly, and will move heaven and earth for her family. She doesn't often express how proud of her children she is though, actual love and caring coming to her only with difficulty.
  
She was able to determine that she had been the subject of some sort of technomedical equipment that had been combined with a mystical ritualand that her body had become fused with some sort of life-support apparatusFurther study indicated that she was extremely skilled with technology, knew a tiny amount of magic, was able to revert to the form of a young girl, and needed to feed on human beings.
+
Miho's Father - Arashiki (formerly Chiba) Motoki
 +
Motoki is rather warmer then his wife. Having little talent for the Ninja arts himself he spends his time investing, laundering money, and keeping the money side of the Ninja busness goingHe loves his wife dearly even if he sometimes feels that her role as wife is just another role to herHe is much less harsh then her and wonders sometimes if the duty before all mentality his wife is trying to instill is healthy.
  
It was when she was in pursuit of this last need that she met Lily.  Lily was a girl of close to Latrodecta's apparent age, who was charmed by Latro's cool charm, and talked her way into the spider-girl's life.  Latrodecta wasn't entirely sure how to deal with affection, and held off from killing Lily, making excuses to delay feeding.  Lily, however, soon uncovered Latrodecta's true nature-- and made a shocking proposal.
+
Miho's `older` brother died in a car acedent about a year ago.  
  
Lily had had a hard life, and suspected that she would never live to see 30.  She proposed that Latro go ahead and eat her, so that her life would mean something-- a gift to the one she loved.  Latrodecta ultimately accepted this gift, and Lily died in her arms, her body consumed by her lover.
+
Miho's `older` sister. Arashiki Arisu. Arisu was always the weakest of her set, and Miho and their brother made sure that she knew it.  She is however fairly talented at the theory of chi manipulation, and at social manipulation.  At school the position was reversed as she drew classmates around her.
  
However, this wasn't the end of Lily-- not at all!  Her obsession with Latrodecta prevented her from moving on, and so her ghost stayed behind, wanting only one thing-- to experience giving herself to Latrodecta again and again. Since then, she's worked hard for Latro, seeking out new targets for her to possess... and Latro to feed upon.
+
Miho's actually younger siblings: Erika, Kuzuo and Kenji. About Piko's age they are both very annoying and a treasure to her.
  
==Personality==
+
==Personality and history==
  
Analytical and patient, Latro is trying to understand who and what she isHowever, she doesn't really know how to say 'no' to Lily...
+
Miho doesn't try real hard at getting people to like herShe leaves that to Arisu. Focused to the point of dourness, she comes off when not being an Ninja openly as well slightly mean and mostly forgettable. She doesn't get other's girls obsessions with music, actors, or dates. I mean she wants a husband to watch the house while she does Ninja stuff, but what good is going on a date going to get her?
