🕸️ His name means “weaving/spinning,” “fabric,” or “structure” in Arabic. “Anka” is a diminutive of the Arabic word “ankabut” which literally translates as “spider.”
🕸️ Twisted from the boss monster the Arachnid from the classic PlayStation video game “Disney’s Aladdin in Nasira’s Revenge.”
🕸️ Nasij isn’t technology-savvy and thus doesn’t own a smartphone or a computer.
🕸️ He lives in the Gilded Hypogeum, a highly-classified subterranean territory beneath the dunes of the Scalding Sands with the Anka Brood, a clan of desert-born spider fae masterfully skilled in ancestral magic and tasked with guarding dangerously powerful relics.
🕸️ To maintain his façade, he wears heavily enchanted accessories— two intricate gold pins tucked in his hair and a pair of gold coin earrings. Because these accessories bleed out neutral ambient magic, they allow Nasij to walk the school’s halls indefinitely without accumulating blot.
🕸️ When he’s not wearing his dorm uniform, he wears clothing that is a blend of casual and regal. His attire consists of a dark crimson cowl-neck tunic coupled with a long black headscarf with gold tinsel woven through it, wrapped multiple times around his shoulders to protect him from the sun, gloves, and tapered black joggers tucked into mid-calf leather boots.
🕸️ He has countless brothers and sisters who make up the clan. His mother, the Grand Weaver, presides over her family as the matriarch, whereas he and his many siblings are all charged with protecting their domain from thieves. However, due to the Anka Brood being a shadow syndicate, they take on other different roles— intelligence brokers, weavers, and assassins-for-hire.
🕸️ Being a fae, Nasij possesses elven ears, sharp, striking features, and fangs. The only features his disguise grants him are rich brown skin and long legs to accentuate his tall and lean frame. He has deep, glossy plum-black hair which is styled in neat, intricate braids that frame his face, with a few longer strands trailing down his back.
His primary eyes are a piercing amber-gold. Because his fingernails are incredibly sensitive, Nasij wears gloves even when he isn’t attending school. This is to prevent the risk of his claws pushing out through his cuticles whenever he gets agitated or low on magic.
His true form is centaurian in stature and monstrous in appearance. He towers over even the taller boys by a few additional feet, his lower body sporting eight jointed legs, pedipalps, and a bulbous but sleek abdomen and cephalothorax made of a heavy obsidian exoskeleton. Traced across this armor is a glowing sulfur-yellow skull marking, a nod to the monster he’s twisted from. The tips of his fangs are black and elongate to deliver a swift, vicious bite.
Nasij’s complexion takes on a dark mauve-grey tone, whereas the sclera of his eyes turn black. Six smaller amber eyes open up around his brow and cheekbones, able to blink and match his expressions independently. They flash red when he is angered or experiencing intense emotions. His nails are black, chitinous and sharp as talons. Each of his legs are elegant but equally sharp.
Down his spine and across his chest, sternum and shoulders, his skin smoothly hardens into a strong carapace made of pure obsidian.
