Civilian Form

╚═══*.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.*═══╝

:Name & Meaning:

She was born Princess Maiyuka, of the burgeoning Kurayami royal line. Her name means Ally from the Shadows.  She never thought to change it when she reached Earth.

:Age & Birthday:

Because of different planetary cycles, she has no Earth birthday but in age and maturity she’s approximately ten earth years old. The Inners celebrate her birthday as the day she met the full team.

:Species:

Denizens spread across the planets of the Red Spider Nebula are called Akakumojin. Their appearance is biped and their silhouette could easily be mistaken as human. 

Their skin comes in a variety of grey shades from silvery ashes to dark as coal, often matched with vibrant coloured hair. Female’s hair tones range from blue to violet, while males are amber and maroon and both lighten as they age. An Akakumojin’s hair is known both for its silkiness and their ability to grow at will. Their prominent upper canine teeth give a fang-like toothiness to their smiles

They have four to eight eyes in various arrays depending on their races and when they fully mature they develop spinnerets beneath each index and middle finger.

:Appearance:

Maiyuka might be described as ten years old, small and very slender standing 120cm tall. Her skin is a silvery grey, contrasting with bright amethyst hair she keeps to chin length but with two framing locks on either side of her face. Her two sets of eyes, one set slightly smaller and below, are striking with their emerald green schlera, turquoise iris and lack of pupil. 

Her movements flit between slow and graceful like a weaving spider, and sudden and skittish like a spider fleeing out of sight!

:Human Disguise:

When taking on her human illusion she chose a peachy coloured skin but kept her amethyst hair which so many comment on its softness. Her eyes, now much more human-like, have bright emerald coloured irises flecked with turquoise sparkles but her pupil seems a shade too pale, giving her eyes a glasslike appearance. She tries to hide her nervousness behind a hopeful smile. 

After living on the streets for several weeks, the Inners banded together to get her a new wardrobe. Although shy, she loves adorable earth fashions, choosing cute plaid skirts and pastel sweaters. She’s also never seen without her favourite purse, heart shaped with a red bow and with Makoto’s help, stamped with her spider motif.

:Personality:

Desperate to fit in with her heroes, Maiyuka strives to blend in with humans. Uncertain of many of Japan’s strict customs and manners, she takes things at face value making her naive and impressionable. She is definitely a people pleaser, but it makes it harder for others to get her to open up and be honest with herself about her wants and needs.

TA Academy for girls is where Maiyuka has to sink or swim, explore and make mistakes with Rei as the only Senshi she trusts to get her through. Her uncertainty makes her shy of new things, preferring to secretly watch others so she can copy their opinions and habits. Flustered, she plays it off as ‘growing up in America’, but filling in the Akakumo equivalent which makes people even more confused!

As a girl she was never allowed to extend herself, expected more to stay true to the expectations of royalty, but battle is where she gets to let loose the powers hidden inside of her. She’s still learning and can be clumsy with misfires but she is delighted to be fighting alongside the Sailor Guardians of Sol!  

:Sexual Orientation: 

Although she hasn’t explored much, she is showing a growing curiosity in boys.  

:Likes: 

More than anything she likes spending time with the Sailor Guardians as they live their Earth lives, and they love to share. Her favourite thing is when they share her hobbies and explore Tokyo. Although she’s not very good at cooking, one of her favourite things is being a taste tester for Makoto. Her favourite is pork cutlets in applesauce and shortbread cookies-one of the only things she can make reliably, and decorating them. Not even the Girl Scouts could replicate the taste of her cookies. She has found a surprising talent however in sauces, perfectly seasoning and reducing to the perfect consistency to add a little extra to Makoto’s delicious cooking.

:Dislikes: 

More than anything, Maiyuka hates being alone. It brings back so many memories of being isolated in the palace, being ignored as a second born royalty while also never living up to her parents expectations. The reason she strives so hard to keep up with the passions of her friends is because she’s afraid of disappointing them. 

She also hates pickled broccoli, cleaning up the kitchen and others interrupting her naps.

:Hobbies: 

As much as she tried to keep up with their hobbies, the senshi noticed how she kept keeping souvenirs. They introduced her to the hobby of scrapbooking and gave her her own polaroid camera to share her memories with others.

As Maiyuka grows into being the guardian she wants, she learns how to glide using her webs to make a wingsuit. 

:Background:

The Red Spider Nebula was a Kingdom dwindling away. It had been more than 5000 years since any of its systems senshi had incarnated and looking to exploit its weakness, the Nations of Scorpius attacked! However the people of Red Spider Nebula remained determined to protect themselves, defending their kingdom generation after generation. Finally hope was born. Princess Maiyuka, second in line to the crown and the first Guardian in millenia, destined to be Sailor Red Spider when she came into her own.

As Princess Maiyuka grew, she resented her life more and more. Despite being royalty, her life was austere as her parents wanted to set an example for their war torn people. Due to her parents overprotectiveness she wasn’t allowed to engage with others her own age without strict supervision and as such they avoided her and snickered behind their hands. Her tutors were strict and cold by order, pushing her to transform. 

To escape her loneliness, Princess Maiyuka sought sanctuary in the palace libraries. Across the galaxy, she like many sailor crystal holders felt the pulse of the Silver and Golden Crystal uniting in harmony. Enamoured by their warmth and love, she spent her days reading about the magnificence of the Silver Millenium, daydreaming of being part of their stories.

Princess Maiyuka’s rigid life was interrupted when for the first time since the war began, the Nations of Scorpius penetrated the walls of Gossamer Citadel. 

As she looked on in horror from her minaret, the Scorpius armament blasted apart the outer wall, tearing into the citizenry of the capital. As soldiers walked towards the barred door of the library, gazing at the beautiful illustration of Queen Serenity, Maiyuka closed her eyes and wished… 

And woke in amongst the decimated remains of the Silver Moon Palace. Still pursued by Scorpius militia, she used the last of her fading power to teleport to Tokyo where she hid in the alleys, living off scraps and fleeing the soldiers that tracked her.

Relationships

╚═══*.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.*═══╝

:Family: 

While they aren’t cold or cruel to their daughter, Maiyuka found it hard to be seen as their daughter and not Princess of the Red Spider Nebula and when her powers awoke, as another tool in their artillery. Their focus was maintaining the alliances that were the Kingdom’s lifeline.

Her older brother, Prince Kata leads the Spider Guard, an elite tactical force that leads forays into enemy territory to attack the Nations of Scorpius at their heart. He viewed his sister, his future Queen with frustration and disappointment because despite the great powers she harboured, was unable to wield them. 

When not ignoring her in favour of the Spider Guard, he pushed her through a rigorous training regime to Awaken the Red Spider Nebula Starseed and give their home a fighting chance. Before she fled, she and Kata had an enormous argument, calling her a selfish brat for not fulfilling her duties to her Kingdom.

:Practically Family:

Since coming to Earth, the Inners have taken her under their wing. 

She lives with Makoto who teaches her cooking and homemaking. She goes to T*A Academy for Girls with Rei who kindles her individuality while watching over her and occasionally being mistaken for her big sister.. Ami tutors her after school, encouraging her curious mind. 

Mamoru is the older brother she always wanted; warm, gentle and reassuring. Lastly Usagi and Minako are the fun loving sisters eager for her to let go of her inhibitions and enjoy her time on Earth! 

:Allies:

The Outers are more allies than friends but if the Inners trust them, Maiyuka knows she should make the effort. Hotaru and Setsuna are open to her cautiously extended hand, and even Michiru will offer her a soft word, but her most work-in-progress relationship is Haruka who innately mistrusts all Exo-Senshi from outside the Silver Millennium Alliance. 

Chibiusa is one of the few friends that Maiyuka can share the Senshi experience with, when she visits. She, Chibiusa and Hotaru occasionally hang out together.

:Friends:

Urging her to make friends, Maiyuka joins T*A Academy for Girls. While Rei still keeps an eye on her, she meets Tomoko and Fujiko, two best friends who are complete opposites but the three fit together like puzzle pieces. 

Fukiko is much more well mannered, politely correcting Maiyuka’s strange mistakes and even being a bit bossy. She collects light novels, is addicted to fantasy mmo Yuusei Phantasy and dreams of being a novelist.

Together they help bring her further out of her shell and stand by her stride against the bossy clique of Sophie Praduna.

On the special occasion when Maiyuka need to look her best, she’s always welcome at Ayakashi Beauty Salon! Every time she visits, Koan has been her cosmetologist. Hair, nails, skin, makeup Koan does it all for Maiyuka to free to repay her for saving her life

:Rivals:

On her first day, Maiyuka had the misfortune to run into Sophie Praduna, dirtying her uniform and making an enemy for life. One year older and of British-American background, her father is a diplomat and she lords it over the other girls, using money and sharp words to keep fellow students under her thumb. 

She’s actually part of Rei’s unofficial fanclub. When she sees Maiyuka with Rei, she becomes inconsolable. How on earth does the new kid know Ms. Rei better than her? Outrageous! 😡😡😡

:Love Interests:

Although she’s friends with boys like Shingo and has Mamoru as a brother-like mentor she isn’t interested in them like that just yet. She eventually meets Perle and they become close but who can say what the future brings.

Guardian Form

╚═══*.·:·.☽✧    ✦    ✧☾.·:·.*═══╝

:Name: 

Sailor Red Spider

:Guardian Starseed: 

Princess Maiyuka bears the starseed of the White Dwarf star, Akiaraneolus at the centre of the Red Spider Nebula. It is one of the hottest stars of the galaxy and blows solar winds over 300 kilometres per second generating shockwaves 100 billion kilometres high. 

The very first bearer of its True Starseed, an empress who’s name was lost to time and burned bright with its magnificent power, established the great celestial barriers that keep the Kingdom safe. Her time was thousands of millenia past and her barriers are weakening permittingthe Nations of Scorpius gnaw at their fading glory.

That incandescent power pulses again within the heart of Princess Maiyuka.

:Realm of Influence:

Sailor Red Spider harnesses the power of light and shockwaves, often with spider and webbing themes.

:Guardian Animal: 

Being isolated, the Akakumojin do not have advisors but when found by Artemis, he took her under his guidance, leading her through the basics of being a Sailor Guardian. He watches over her fondly as a fatherly figures he once did Minako. 

She also rescued a little Mexican Redknee Tarantula, smaller than her palm she calls Willow. She speaks with a childlike curiosity that only Maiyuka can understand. She finds a way to be near her; hiding in her sleeves or beneath her hair.

:Allies/Team Mates: 

The Inner Sol Senshi serve as her caretakers against the cutthroats of Nations of Scorpius, they grow as her teachers allowing her to stand her ground against their best assassins and finally they help her arise as the protector of the Red Spider Nebula she was born to be.

:Sailor Tarantula:

Oldest and wisest of the Aurelian Council, she spent her entire life fighting against the Nations of Scorpion to the point she was the last left of the old guard having seen her old teammates sacrifice themselves against the might of the Nation of Scorpius. She took the fresh faced Sailor Black Widow under her care, and promised to do the same for Sailor Red Spider when she came into her own.

Unfortunately Sailor Tarantula and Sailor Black Widow were lured into an ambush. The ancient guardian forfeited her life to allow the escape of Sailor Black Widow, who has gone into hiding.

But Sailor Tarantula hasn’t forgotten her promise. Her voice whispers in Princess Maiyuka’s dream, guiding her to her destiny.

:Sailor Black Widow:

Awakening her senshi powers as Sailor Black Widow when she was sixteen. She was taken under the tutelage of the legendary Sailor Tarantula. Together they aided the many rebelling colonies of the Aurelian Council but when backed into a corner Sailor Tarantula used her full powers to obliterate the force sent against them freeing Sailor Black Widow from capture. She hasn’t been seen since.

:The Aurelian Council: 

Once a great united force for good, it represented the many insectile alien kingdoms of the Milky Way, the strongest being those of the Nebulas including; Red Spider Nebula, Tarantula, Black Widow, Shama Moth, Ant, Butterfly and Bug Nebula. 

However within the Bug Nebula of Scorpius, Chaos corrupted a nation. Like a disease it spread and the Nations of Scorpius was born, vowing to bring greatness to the Aurelian Council by any means necessary. Despite pockets of resistance, millenia after millenia, the Aurelian Nebula’s fell one after the other until only the Red Spider Nebula remained.

:Enemies:

Princess Maiyuka is a declared target by all of the Nations of Scorpius, but it is General Sasori Fukitsu who has vowed to eliminate the newly made Sailor Guardian and take her legendary Red Spider Crystal for herself. 

Although she has already taken both the Ant Crystal, Moth Crystal and the Royal Butterfly Crystal as her trophies, she feels only the enormous energy of the Akiaraneolus Starseed will crush her many rivals and eliminate all other resistance within the Aurelian Council.

Seeing it as her last chance at power, she will let nothing stand in her way even if she has to tear the crystal from Princess Maiyuka’s chest with her bare hands. She’s certainly not going to let some upstart Sol Guardians stand in her way of true power.

:Transformation Token: 

Although she spontaneously transformed the first time, she had trouble focusing powers. With the help of Luna and Artemis, they were able to transfigure her watch as a transformation token much like they did for the inner’s pens. The black face is etched with an orb of silver web and a red crystal at the centre of its silver hands. It has a protective cover embossed with the Red Spider Symbol. It also doubles as Sailor Red Spider’s communicator.

:Henshin Phrase: 

“Red Spider Power Make Up!”

:Henshin Sequence:

When the need to fight arises, Maiyuka’s human form crosses both arms above her head and taps the face of her watch causing the symbol to glow and the lid to pop open. From it spilling small glowing spider silhouettes which spill down her arms weaving their webs.

First they spin their webs between her fingers, trailing down to her gloves which glow and glitter forming her gloves. Other spiders continue down her glowing body, knitting her sailor collar and bodice. The leap from her belt, trailing silken comet tails to form her swishing red skirt. She clicks her heels and webs climb her calves to form her red boots. The camera sweeps in a spiral upwards, her lavender back bow forming from the glowing spiders and her front bow.

Finally the camera rests on her face which blinks her four eyes and a silk spider on a slender thread drops between her eyes, glows and transforms into the ruby spider at the centre of her tiara.

 She smiles, blinks coyishly and poses, ready to defend!

:Symbol:

:Guardian Challenge:

“I am the bright red spider that weaves Harmony and Peace for the future. I am Sailor Red Spider, ready to unweave corruption and distortion!”

:Guardian Fuku:

Sailor Red Spider resumes her Akakumojin appearance but camouflages herself in the Sol System fuku. Her collar, skirt and glove rolls are rich ruby red while her bows are a darker scarlet. Her ruby red with white trim is similar to Sailor Moon’s. Dangling from her ears are pendants like her symbol.

:Attacks:

Red Spider Sonic Blast!

Sailor Red Spider stands with her hands covering her face as the camera spins around her. Her hands slip down covering only her mouth. Finally it zooms in, the hands slip away, flinging wide and shouting, “Red Spider Sonic Blast” and a sonic boom blasts out in a wave of red energy knocking the enemy flying.

Stellar Web Lasso

Balling her hands together and then drawing them apart with a thick rope glowing with the red nebula like clouds, it twisted into a look. She tosses it into the air and twirls it in a circle faster and faster until Sailor Red Spider is able to cast and catch her enemy, yanking it tight and binding a singular enemy.

Astral Silk Net!

Sailor Red Spider steeples her fingers together, drawing them apart with glowing threads between them. Touching the tips of her fingers together in a complex pattern it looks like she weaves a complex cats cradle of threads which she spreads wide with her arms and and she twirls and casts it at the enemy in a sticky net to trap the enemy.

Cosmic Web Shield!

Sailor Red Spider kisses two fingers of her right hand which glow bright red. She traces a hexagon which glints with a glowing red orb shaped webs. With one push of her open palm it’s hurled in front of her, a gleaming, glowing shield that captures all that is flung into it, absorbing its energy and making it stronger with every attack.

Red Spider Nebula Radiation!

Sailor Red Spider Nebula reveals her true self as she’s emboldened and supported by her friends and family. Neo Queen Serenity, King Endymion, the Sol Guardians, Sailor Black Widow and Sailor Tarantula give the last of their strength to her as she stands before the catastrophic creature General Sasori has become.
