Alright, first real post! Let me introduce y'all to the girl who started it all, Mara! Amara Robin Flores-Greyback, or Mara, is Wolf Spider! ("No hyphen!" - Mara) After discovering that her brother was a certain Spider-based superhero at the age of 12, Mara was forced into the life of a vigilante! Trained and technologically aided by an AI assistant known as 'Ailo,' Mara serves as one of Villecity's many street-level protectors. Her powers were originally similar to a werewolf's, but after getting injected with a prototype antidote made by her brother, they were extremely diluted.
Despite the tragic backstory I have yet to fully explain to you implies, I love Mara a lot. She's been an OC of mine for years, and she's one of the few that I carried over after graduating High School.
She didn't want to become Wolf Spider when she first found out about her powers. Her first experiences with them made her feel like a freak, and then, when she tried to get Ailo to cure her, he made her feel bad for hating her powers since they could be used to help people. At the age of 12, she was pushed into training to take on the role of a hero that her adult brother previously held. Throughout her formative years, this will take a heavy toll on her. Her grades plummeted due to her losing sleep focusing on her job, she witnesses things that no child or teen should witness, she carries the weight of her brother's legacy on her shoulders, and people will inevitably die due to her mistakes. I'll talk more about her and go into greater depth about her experiences, but for now, I'll leave it at that. Thank you for reading! I apologize if my writing is weird (I fight against Grammarly a ton), but if you're reading this, then maybe you didn't/don't care.
Also, I've never written a blog before so like... yell at me about what I can do better!
I love this human and her writing so I have to reblog this. I have seen how she has developed Mara and this whole universe. She is an incredible artist and writer and y'all should definitely follow her and watch her world grow 🌎🤍
