CHARACTERS YOU CAN FIND GAL GUY IN (in no particular order).

FRANK ABAGNALE (catch me if you can): Hey... You should fold it. […] Yeah, but there's no crease in the paper. When your mom hands you a note to miss school the first thing you do is you fold it and you put it in your pocket. I mean, if it's real, where's the crease?

ROBIN HOOD (robin hood 1973): Ah, stop worrying. This disguise will fool my own mother.

VIOLA (she’s the man): Mom, I will pick out my own dress. And no, I will not wear high heels. Because heels are a male invention designed to make women's butts look smaller... and to make it harder for them to run away.

PETER PAN (peter pan 1953): PETER: Tinker Bell! I hereby banish you forever. WENDY: Please, not forever. PETER: Well, for a week, then.

MULAN (mulan 1998): Look at me. I will never pass for a perfect bride or a perfect daughter. Can it be I'm not meant to play this part? […] Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

WILL SMITH (the fresh prince of bel-air): CARLTON: If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and smells like a duck, what is it? WILL: Your prom date?

SPIDER-MAN (all canons): ‘Course, if I had pockets stuff would fall out every time I did this. Okay, so maybe I could have pockets with zippers. Maybe velcro. Yeah, that'd work. I'd be creeping up behind somebody and have to get something out. ‘ZZZZZZZZIP!' 'What's that smear on the wall, mommy?’ 'That used to be Spider-Man, honey.' 'What killed him?' 'A zipper. Some said velcro but the Daily Bugle said it was a zipper and I believe the Bugle.’ 'Wow, he must’ve been real stupid, huh?' 'Yes honey, he was'. And why the heck am I thinking about pockets, anyway? Because it's easier than thinking about my life lately? And why would that bother you, Peter? Oh, no reason! Everything's fine... Everything's just ducky! Except that whenever I'm really bugged about something and I really need to go punch a bad guy there's never a bad guy around. But whenever I'm in a really good mood—yeah, like that happens more than twice a year—there's always four or five bad guys. Or a Sinister Six. Or seven. Or nineteen waiting to bust my chops and ruin my day and—

MAURICE MOSS (it crowd): Four! I mean five! I mean fire!

Superhero name: goes by Spider-Dude.

Spider outfit: concept mentioned here. Initially, she uses her work’s spider-man costume (nearly identical to the 2002 movie’s suit). eventually, she gets her own suit made. I will make an illustration of her in the suit once I have a computer again but for now imagine: the 2002 suit except: the bright red is maroon, the webbing detail and spider emblem is white, the blue parts are faux-suede brown (like her jansport backpack), the legs are like windbreaker sweatpants (still the same aesthetic/pattern design), the “pants” have pockets on her hips and lower thighs like cargo pants do, the black eye lining is all white.

POWERS:

Spider-sense: precognitive ability that warns her of nigh impending danger. Manifests as a tingly, buzzing sensation in the dome of her skull. Only works with imminent, real danger. Doesn’t help her detect lies or other pettier scenarios. She uses this ability to web sling and spider climb quickly and safely (i.e. the sense guides her aim, avoiding dangerous/unsafe moves).

Adhesive spider hands/feet: able to walk on walls and ceilings due to scopulae hairs on palms and soles of feet (her suit material is thin/permeable at the hands and feet so that the minuscule barbs can poke through; she does not have her bare dogs out).

Incandescent: can emit a faint neon red light (think bright but weak like a glow stick) from exposed organs (not including skin: i.e. eyes) at will.

Dark vision: when her eyes are incandescent red, she can see in pitch black darkness.

Enhanced strength: proportionate strength of an alien spider. Stronger than the average person. About as strong as an in-their-prime male olympian gymnast. Doesn’t appear it; she looks toned but not yoked.

Enhanced balance: can balance crazy good. On tiny little spider webs. Moving cars. Tall building spires. Etc.

Venomous fangs: her canine teeth sharpened and grew—minimally. less prominent than a vampire’s teeth. they look like filed-sharp canines that are ever so slightly longer than average. she can choose to inject her bite with paralyzing venom.

Scentless: alien spider bug that bit her is from a dimension with base elements different from our mostly carbon world. as a result of this unknown metal-adjacent atomic mixing, she has no scent. if you licked her skin, you wouldn’t taste anything, but her sweat would have that sharp, bright, immediate-temperature-leaching sensation metal has. imagine a spoon in your mouth. that’s her skin but her skin is still flesh-soft.

Temperature endurance: can withstand extreme weather (i.e. boiling hot or freezing cold) with minimal protective gear because of her base atomic mixing.
