somewhere in the vastness of my room, i had more notes about her. *shrug
Muffet is very loyal to her family. in the games she is dressed quite fancy and is seemingly shown to be money oriented.
My idea was to give her quite a difficult childhood.
Not with violence or more extreme.
She has been working since she was little because she is the only spider in her family who can pick up more than one pebble. There is little time for school. Most of her money goes to transporting her family from the ruins to New Home. There the temperature is just perfect and the humidity is bearable. In addition, she has to feed more than a few thousand spiders. Make the home liveable and safe for them.
In the beginning, her life was rarely about herself or playing with the other children. Even if she had time, she is one of the more creepy monsters. Rarely is there anyone who looks her in the face.
She sewed her clothes from the odd bits of yellowed and torn fabric she found.
Alphys and Muffet met at the garbage dump of Wasserfall. Muffet first hid behind her found clothes. She didn't want to face a screaming monster again. Alphys, however, thought she would be shy and afraid of the dark garbage dumps that have few moon crystals for illumination.
Alphys, however, thought she was shy and afraid of the dark garbage contents that have few moon crystals for illumination.
She moved without thinking about it and with childlike joy to help someone, to an interesting place that remained mostly dry.
"you are looking for fabric? i often find dry stuff over there! It doesn't smell as bad as what you can pull out of the water."
Even after Muffet tried to hide her appearance all the time, Alphys never looked at her in shock.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't spiders be able to weave their own fabric?"
Muffet dropped her clothes in fright and looked at her, puzzled.
Alphys raised her eyebrow and watched a blue ball of fabric slowly drift away. "I guess that means no?"
"You know what I look like?"
Muffet and Alphys friendship was garbage friends from that day on. At one point, Alphys invited her to go to the New Home library. That Muffet can't read and thus couldn't translate her family's ancient scrolls for her special thread magic almost brought tears to Alphys' eyes. Garbagedumbdiver-Learning- Friends it is!
This is how Muffet met Catty, Bratty and Aster.
She felt a direct connection to him, calm - mostly regarded by others fearfully , and working so hard that it led to a childlike infatuation.
Batty and Catty directly saw in it a chance to re-enact a plot from their Romance Clichee novels.
Aster still wonders how he suddenly got sucked into a low cost candlelight dinner at Alphys. Muffet was just laughing into her claws the whole time and he was pretty sure he saw water burning.
