Reputation: Araña is known for her habit of playing long term games with her foes, even the simplest theft or attack has some other reason to it. She is also known for having traps in her bases as well for when heroes come looking for her, normally of the deadly kind and they tend to be specially designed.
Reputation: Araña is a known sociopath; killing simply because she can as well as for her own amusement.
Background: Angela Alaya was always afraid of spiders ever since she was a young child. It didn't matter what kind they were, how they looked, what they were kept inside of or how far away from her they were: Angela would faint upon seeing them. This would have been a normal thing in the scheme of things really though, it was a fairly normal phobia for someone to suffer through but then Angela's life took a cruel twist. Early in her teenage years she began to show signs of being effected by the energies released during the last Terminus invasion and slowly manifested a set of powers that emulated the abilities of a spider: increased agility, able to crawl across walls, increased strength, as well as a venomous touch.
The association between herself and the thing she feared so much simply was too much for Angela to handle and she fell into a catatonic state for just under ten years. When she did finally wake up, Angela was a completely different person. It seems that while she was comatose, Angela's personality rebuilt itself to be much stronger than it had been. Now she was deviously cunning and almost completely ruthless as well as having a lust for predation. The doctors at the Albright Institute were shocked and amazed at the transformation Angela had underwent, they theorized that she had remade her personality based on her perceptions of what spider’s personality would be like. Angela quickly left the care of the Institute and went her own way, which led her by a lab that was developing a non lethal round that released a gel that restrained the target upon impact (which she has had modified over the years to now include offensive abilities).
From there Angela disappeared for several months only to reappear as Araña, for the first time, when she robbed the Jeweler's Show being held for charity which brought Araña into conflict with both the Raven and the Bowman (both of whom were there in their secret identities). Despite the experience against her, Araña was able to hold her own with her vicious nature and willingness to use hostages for leverage against the heroes and made her escape. Since then Araña has fought against the Raven for the most part though there have been a couple meetings with some of the other heroes of Freedom City, but none of them really challenge her like the Raven does. Araña has developed a knack for dreaming up long term plans of manipulation of events and people to accomplish her goals and loves to test Raven's ability to figure it all out.
