    Character Intro

    She grew up on the quieter edges of Queens, tucked into a narrow street where brownstones sat shoulder-to-shoulder and everyone knew everyone’s business. Her childhood was complicated split between a mother who was rarely around and a father who struggled to keep structure in the house. Stability came from one place only: her Uncle Ben. Not that Uncle Ben no wheatcakes, no great-power speeches but a broad-smiling, slightly stubborn man who lived for weekend fishing trips, smoky backyard BBQs, and taking his aging RV just far enough out of the city for a breath of real air. He became her anchor, the person who taught her that family is built, not born.

    By the time she was eighteen, she’d moved permanently into her uncle’s townhouse in Queens. From there she commuted into Midtown, where she now studies Political Science at New York University. She’s sharp, observant, and just cynical enough to thrive in a field full of people who think they’re the smartest in every room. Her snark is a shield, her wit is a tool, and politics strangely feels like home. It lets her understand power, challenge systems, and carve a place for herself beyond the chaos she came from.

    But everything changed the day she was bitten an accident that awakened not only spider-like strength and agility, but strange emerald-green energy webbing tied to abilities she’d always felt simmering under her skin. Now she splits her life between classes, essays, patrols, and the familiar smell of Uncle Ben’s BBQ drifting up from the yard whenever she gets home late.

    In a city that never sleeps, she’s learning to balance her past, her power, and her future one rooftop at a time... Also she is your cousin.
