POWER SELECTION

MYTH POWERS
sure except for healing and invisibility! she's already immortal and very tough, it might make things a bit easier if she doesn't 'need' to eat.

GAME POWERS

Spider shape- and size- shifting (lower end can fit on a thumbnail, upper end is a minor kaiju), can take other shapes but they always resemble her somewhat (pale, hairy, more than two black eyes).

Teleporting herself and others

Molting (takes time!) to heal

Silk production, anesthetizing/sedative/paralytic venom

consumes living things with a disturbing portal maw

ABILITIES

very fierce fighter

spins silk good, can make webs and dresses

comfortable alone

wisdom

can help keep a multi species decision making council on track, though that does rather depend on them being scared of her

ADDITIONAL INFO
ummmm

I guess it's possible she has the Flowering Harp? Of the various artifacts she safeguards that's the one best understood. It's a large but carry-able harp. Played by one with "the heart of a wizard", it makes plant life sprout from barren land. Does she have the heart of a wizard? it is suggested yes but she refuses to take up the harp, in favor of gawky teen Merlin.
