The idea of Spider being forced to live with the Varang and Quaritch is so brilliant. He's human, but also almost a stepchild of the Tsahik and son her mate so he'd definitely have some kind of position in the clan even if he didn't want it. I just see the dangerous glares Quaritch and Varang give anyone who looks at the boy "without respect" for too long. It could develop in so many ways, do you think you'll ever delve deeper into how Spider would be perceived after a longer time by the ash Na'vi? Would he have gotten used to it and maybe even opened up enough to have at least one personon the verge of friendship ?

If spider was stuck with the Ash longterm, he’d do what he had to survive. If that meant building a small amount of ‘loyalty’ to the clan then he would do it. Alone, scared, he’d be well open to emotional manipulation from both Quaritch and Varang. At some point his feigning loyalty to them blurs and I imagine he’d start to become a functioning clan member.

If there’s anything spider wants it’s to feel valued, so yeah he would probably start taking some responsibility around the camp, offering tidbits of information that might make someone feel impressed by him. Over a long enough time, he might take a more directorial approach when it comes to clan organisation and efficacy.

Not as a warrior - he would never join in on their raids against other clans - but he would potentially defend the camp if it was threatened by the RDA. If he’d been there long enough, his sense of self-worth is probably coming from Quaritch alone.

I can see him making ‘friends’ with other Ash kids (more like acquaintances), but the Mangkwan kids are fierce and cutthroat already at their young age. Spider would bring out their natural play tendencies and annoy the hell out of the parents and clan elders for the softening effect he’s having on them. Discipline is extremely strong in the ash camp, so the kids would never be allowed to be real friends with Spider. If they got too close, or their parents thought they were becoming too ‘soft’ they’d get a real ass whipping and not be allowed to talk to spider for weeks. Punished for getting too close to him.

If spider saw this it would obviously bring out conflicted feelings. He’d want to keep trying to influence the next generation to be better, but he doesn’t want them hurt. there’s plenty of room for a forbidden brotherhood/sisterhood/romance. It could get angsty!
