Backstory[edit]

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.

She was able to determine that she had been the subject of some sort of technomedical equipment that had been combined with a mystical ritual. and that her body had become fused with some sort of life-support apparatus. Further 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.

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.

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.

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.

Personality[edit]

Analytical and patient, Latro is trying to understand who and what she is. However, she doesn't really know how to say 'no' to Lily...
