My new baby!! Well, okay she’s like really not new but she’s also new because I never really developed her before — so she’s an Amazing Spider-Man OC but very heavily influenced by Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark because idc that everyone hated it that musical fucking slapped (except for the flashing lights can lighting designers please stop using flashing lights they are literally never necessary fight me)

So her name is Constance Osborn, and she’s Harry’s half sister, a bit less than a year younger than him!  Like, she’s younger enough that Harry always teases her for being the baby, but old enough that they’re in the same grade!  I think around nine-ten months, but idk for sure lmao!  Also just a fun fact but her name is a reference to st. conrad of constance bc of the spider story but like i know very very little about the spider story lmao 

anyways so okay she was raised by her mom when she was very young, but her mom died when she was 5, at which point she moved in with Norman (and Harry), and she barely remembers her mom.  But I can tell you that her mom was a geneticist who Norman met at a conference and had an affair with, and who was close friends with Richard & Mary Parker

which constance doesn’t know lmao but like, i know it and norman knows it so it’s being said — also bc @perfectlystiles implied doubt in my ability to reach maximum angst potential with a dead mom, y’all should know that Constance thinks that her mom killed herself, and that it was because of her, and has always blamed herself for it

anyawys okay fast forward many years, Harry and Constance and Peter were thick as thieves as kids but then Harry and Constance get sent off to Europe for boarding school and they lose contact and the osborns miss peter and he misses them rip

but anyways moving into the actual plot; constance ends up visiting new york during some of the events of TASM, spoilers happen and she gets powers, she accidentally kills someone with her powers, and swears to herself that she’ll never use her powers again, she goes back to europe and never tells anyone what happened

fast forward a bit and she’s graduated high school and her dad is dying, and Harry manages to convince her to return to New York with him — they both know that Harry is going to get Oscorp but they’d also always agreed that while Harry would handle the science (Constance is good at science but she’s an artist at heart, she only really started getting super focused on science after getting her powers), she would handle everything involving people

but then there’s an accident in the lab and when Electro appears on the scene, she recognizes him as being another one of Norman's experiments (she doesn't know about the accident yet, she thinks he's like her) and feels obligated to help, which becomes her first real appearance as a superhero

I don’t want to give away too many spoilers but she’s a Peter ship, Gwen doesn’t die, and Norman Osborn is a piece of shit

also her superhero name is Arachne, though her powers are more similar to Carnage (minus the parasite part) than Peter — I’m still working on the science side of her powers but I’ve got most of her main abilities figured out I think

also (i know, i need to stop saying also lmao), just some fun facts!  She’s an artist and very into arts of all sorts, though as a creator she tends to be mostly a visual artist!  She loves fashion, she’s afraid of the dark, she’s even more afraid of needles, she bakes in the middle of the night a lot, Arachne and Spider-Man really don’t trust each other even though Constance and Peter are best friends, and Harry is the only person who can get away with calling her Connie 

this was probably a bit more than you were expecting from “she has no name/title/plot” to “she has a name and maybe a plot” but now she has everything and just needs a summary and I’m so excited about her!!

also, last also I promise, she’s sort of a combination of a “hey it would be cool if” thought that I’d had in 2013 after seeing Turn Off The Dark and a very vague oc concept I’d had after seeing TASM2 in 2014, but in my endless cycle of revisiting old hyperfixations to cope with lockdown I’ve recently turned to Turn Off The Dark so now here we are

Constance bakes bread when she’s stressed and it’s not unusual for Harry to find her punching a ball of dough in the middle of the night

Send me an OC + Fun Fact

CONSTANCE MY BABY!!!  So Constance gets back with Harry and is like, not doing so great she’s dealing with some significant ptsd and being back in New York is making it a lot worse, but they get back to their house in one piece.  Constance refuses to see Norman, and Harry is concerned but he doesn’t push at all, so instead she goes off on her own.  When Harry goes to find her later, she’s in exactly the first place that he looked (the kitchen), with two loaves of bread rising, and is very confused about how she had the ingredients (Norman’s personal chef, is the answer)

Harry ins’t the least bit surprised because Constance always makes bread when she’s stressed, even if it’s in the middle of the night, but he is a bit surprised to find out that she’d spent the entire time talking to Felicia (Norman’s assistant) getting the run down on all of the board members before they head into the meeting!  As he then puts it, he really shouldn’t be surprised because that’s exactly the type of thing that they’ve always known has made her the better option for the human side of Oscorp, but he wasn’t expecting her to start so soon when she’d been on edge since he mentioned going to the States
