Name: Anya Sofía Corazón/Araña
Canon: Marvel Earth-616
Age: 15

Canon: The first day of school is always stressful, but for Anya Corazón, it’s also life-altering. When a jock starts picking on her BFF, Anya, all of 5’3, decides to settle the matter at night, alone and in the park. However, she never meets up with said bully. Instead she gets stabbed, makes a magic pact to get healed, and transforms into Araña: a wicked cool hero with a spider-themed exoskeleton who helps the secretive Spider Society fight their mortal enemies. After her magical carapace gets ripped away from her and she loses her powers, Anya can’t help but keep being a hero, drawing on her S.H.I.E.L.D. training and experience working the Avengers to give her the upper hand.

Precocious and persistent, Anya never backs down from a challenge, even and especially if it would probably be in her best interest to do so. The daughter of an investigative journalist, she has an arsenal of questions and she knows how to use them. She's a skilled gymnast and a quick study: even after losing her powers, she manages to defeat a rogue Avenger without any back up. Fiercely protective of her friends, Anya uses playful banter to great effect in her fights, often exclaiming in her native Spanish and English. In fact, Anya’s verbosity is one of her greatest assets-even if her sass spares no victims.

Hola. I’m Araña and I was invited talk to you about something important, so eyes and ears on me! Honesty, I don’t really know how this Ms. Sayre person got my info and the varo to fly me out here, but she and I will have a chat later. I mean, it’s not really my normal stomping ground, especially since all I seem to be stomping here are cow pies. ¡Dios mio, this is some sort of disaster! Ahem. Anyway! Why I’m here: as some of you might know, this is a diverse community filled with, um, many different types and not all of them friendly. But there are some residents who are taking matters into their own hooves. Namely, the Cattle Fighting for Unprotected Denizens. I know it may seem totally sweet they’re looking out for you, but there are things you should know about them before you get too cozy.

See, by day these cows may seem like, well, normal livestock. Out in the fields, chewing their cud or whatever it is cows do. It’s not like I know! The closest I’ve been to real cow is a quarter-pounder with cheese. Well, whatever. These cattle are actually an illegal group, hanging around the farmlands and taking out any troublemakers! Vaca-lante justice, if you will! Actually, no, that’s horrible. They really shouldn’t let me make up my own jokes. The leader of their crew is a cow in a bat costume. Which, yes, is probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Can you imagine? Who finds bats intimidating? Puh-leez! Anyway, I’m going to find La Heifer and convince her to register with the Director, who is a lady with a plan.

You know, now that I think about it, it’s a shame la Heifer can’t just fly the coop and come back to Brooklyn with me, because really, what could be better than superhero cows? The team-up potential alone is amazing. Squirrel Girl and Super Cow! Spider-Man and the Green Cattle Corps! ...Seriously, who left me alone with the puns? Well, as ridiculous as they may sound, these are not your mama’s milk cows. My notes say that they’re robo-cows equipped with destructive lasers, which is both incredibly awesome and also very dangerous, so let your local authority figure-uh, I guess that would be me-know if anything weird is going down. If you see something, call it in; don’t wait until the cowled cows come home.
