[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: BlackArachnia
FANDOM: Transformers: Animated
CHRONOLOGY: After her escape from Meltdown
BACKGROUND:
Blackarachnia was originally the Autobot named Elita-1. During a freak accident on a planet while searching for Energon cubes she was attacked by alien spiders and caught up in an explosion. She was left behind by Optimus Prime and Sentinel believing she had died. However it turned out she had been infected with the spiders’ venom and had used her mimicking ability to neutralize the poison. Unfortunately instead of neutralizing the poison it mutated her superstructer into a new body. She was basically fused with the spider DNA causing her to have a now half inorganic and half organic body.
Because of what had happened Elita grew spiteful of Optimus and joined the Decepticons, renaming herself Blackarachinia. Due to her now half organic body she is as emotional as any organic, can be easily injured and must breath oxygen to live.
Among the Nemesis Crew, Blackarachnia abandoned ship to evade an explosion that took out most of the Nemesis. She arrived on Earth around the time of the Autobots first Halloween. She attacked Bumblebee and Bulkhead, poisoning them and kidnapping Sari. She tried to use the Allspark Key that Sari was keeper of in order to rid herself of her organic parts. The result however drained everything organic of its lifeforce, nearly killing her as well. Optimus removed the key and offered to help her out but she poisoned him and ran away.
Before Megatron’s arrival she returned to kidnap Sari yet again to gain the Key. Sari deceived her into taking her to the Allspark in which Blackarachnia wandered in circles on the ice above the ship. When the ship surfaced she clung to it and only ended up being knocked from the sky by the Autobot’s ship.
However she survived the fall and landed on Dinobot Island where the Dinobots took care of her. The Dinobots became enamored with her making it easier for her to trick them into doing as she wanted. She got them to break out Meltdown so that she could use him to return her to her fully inorganic shell. She poisoned Bumblebee and Prowl with an extra large dose of her poison to get Optimus to help out as well. She promised to hand over antivenom if Optimus went along with Grimlock to get a modifier that Meltdown needed to proceed with the procedure. However Meltdown betrayed her and tried to rid Blackarachnia of her inorganic parts, wanting to turn her into some organic monster.
Optimus stopped the experiment and released Blackarachnia. She used Grimlock’s “love” for her to escape, leaving the antivenom behind as promised.
PERSONALITY:
Depending on who she’s talking to she can either be seductive and manipulative or cold and sarcastic.
She hates what she has become and is her own worst enemy because of that. Nearly killing herself (unintentionally) because of it. She will stop at nothing to achieve her goal of being normal again.
Because she is convinced that Optimus Prime left her behind on purpose she has a hard time trusting anyone. She’s afraid they’ll turn on her and leave her to die just as she believes her friends did to her so long ago. Which so far in her experience it has only been proven true (e.g. Meltdown trying to make her fully organic instead of fully inorganic). While she is rather smart she is so blinded by her hatred and goals that she only ends up making herself look stupid in the end.
While her shell might have changed her spark is still the same. Deep down she’s still the same Autobot she always was and there are times this shows through but it is very rare due to her hatred for what she’s become. She’s convinced that as long as she is partially organic she can never be the same.
CLASS: Hero turned Villain - but being the type she is she would play both sides of the field so long as it benefits her.
