hi :3 my name is bibi (23 + she/her)! it's been a while since i've written for a character on tumblr like this! i'm excited to try writing again with you lovelies!! like many of you, i am a sucker for superpower stuff...
this is sohee / 26 years old / spider girl / doctoral candidate in anthropology / all around witch, academic, and anti-imperialist in love with the natural world ! i'll be reaching out to y'all soon but please feel free to message me or like this and i will message you to connect on discord!! more on her below
profile / history
anomaly breakdown
spider physiology... think spiderman lol
sohee has the proportionate attributes and abilities of spiders. she does not have the ability to physically transform into a spider (for example, she cannot grow an extra six appendages), but she can mimic a spider’s capabilities
applications = wall crawling, organic web spinning (kinda gross lol), and spider sense
limitations = in general, poison and extreme temperatures
she has a physiology-based anomaly, but that way it manifests lets her basically hide it... and she's never really had to fight + she grew up in a loving home, so most of how she's used her abilities in the past has been to just have fun and go weeee and swing and stick to things
profile highlights
first year doctoral candidate on a full scholarship
personality is inspired by kugisaki nobara's character in jjk
very confident, headstrong, and even brash. determined to stay true to herself and is very principled in how she makes decisions and moves through the world. she can smell bullshit !!
her vice is her pride... she thinks she's the shit and one of the brilliants of her academic field. and she is kind of a genius but sometimes has her head up her ass
her thoughts on anomalies in human society? we need to abolish and re-imagine structures that allow non-anomaly humans to exploit anomalies for their potential contributions to war, manufacturing, labor, etc... but anomalies cannot run society and do whatever the want. sohee believes that anomaly abilities can literally endanger people and that maybe her own political party (evolution movement) -- of which she is a committee member -- should consider that more seriously
history highlights
when she was a kid, her mom left her absentee father, realized she wanted to be a lesbian, and remarried a woman. she has always considered her parents to be her two moms. they are both non-anomaly humans and ecologists/researchers
biological mom was an anti-war and anti-imperialist activist and instilled that same radical imagination into sohee
her spider anomaly manifested when she was a young child, and her scientist moms were actually fascinated and delighted by this, giving her lots of resources and supervision to explore her abilities.
has always had a natural affinity to and love for bugs and insects and creepy crawly things in the natural world
when her mom get a new job as a professor in australia, sohee's family moved there. she attended high school there too
scientists at her parents' university were fascinated by sohee's anomaly and insisted on studying its properties. during her last year of high school, these researchers subtly suggested that sohee would become a great addition to military and security interests for countries in conflict like korea. disgusted, her mom left her job at the university and moved their family back to korea after sohee graduated
in her undergraduate years, she reluctantly became involved in student politics through a classmate, first joining the daehan party while believing that anomalies just needed to integrate into society. as she read more, lol, she moved onto the evolution party and joined their committee
politics is all pretty unserious to her and she pretends not to care but she does. because of her mothers' activism around the korean war, she is especially serious about making sure that anomalies don't become tools for countries to wage war
after graduating from undergrad at sua, sohee worked at a museum in seoul as a historical archivist cataloguing and researching artifacts and documents from korean history, especially colonial period items
she's now 26 and is starting her first year of her phd. sohee’s doctoral anthropology research focuses on the relationship between ecology, capitalism, and humanity, most resembling the real-life work of anna tsing’s the mushroom at the end of the world
she hopes to make this her life’s work + become a researcher and writer and live a small, quiet, intellectual life with her spidey powers
