Athletic, muscular, somewhat of an hourglass shape.

Multiple/Various
A snake tattoo that wraps around her neck.
Very influenced by alternative and Gothic fashion while also being the Secret Third Thing.
An antisocial young woman with a tendency towards anger issues and impatience, especially if she doesn’t know the person. Not to mention her lack of a filter with the things she says, and her lack of ability to determine the right tone of voice doesn't help. Not above using violence to solve her problems. It’s gone far enough to kill people before, and she’s not afraid to do it again. All in all, first impressions may be. . . less than ideal.
Once she does get to know someone, she opens up significantly more. Her personality can even seem to be completely different from when she's first met someone, becoming significantly nicer and more talkative. Unfortunately, she still has plenty of flaws.
She often lives multiple lives. One as a Spider-person in the Spider-Society, one as a civilian in her universe, and a more frowned-upon lifestyle that includes certain dubious acts.
And be aware, it’s not just her you have to gain the trust of.
Physical touch, giving/receiving gifts.
Lower than usual for someone such as her, very distinctive. When in collaboration with her symbiote, it takes on a sound filled with whispers and hisses, akin to how someone might imagine a snake speaks.

She’s got a little something going on with the alien parasite.
- PTSD
- Autism
- ADHD
- Narcissistic and OCD-like tendencies
Actually smiling for once, which is surprising. Generally more talkative, and easier to get along with.
Generally very good at hiding it, but she tends to be more silent and withdrawn. Eventually she'll probably find an excuse to leave if she's around people.
Narrowed eyes and balled up fists, as if she's already expecting a fight. Sometimes the symbiote takes over, sometimes not.
Rather judgemental if it's a person who's making her irritated, or just annoyed and ready to leave.
Her face probably says all you need to know. Either that, or she's just stopped looking at you.
Constantly scanning the room, ready to fight if need be. Quickened breathing and a more defensive posture.
Quiet and tuning out nearly everything else to focus on staying calm. Breathing might change due to a constricted feeling in the chest.
This could go either way, because she's either speechless or coming up with something to throw right back.
This happens a lot more than you'd think. She tends to ask a lot of questions for clarification, and gets annoyed if she isn't getting a straight answer.
Quiet, easily annoyed, forgets to eat enough.
Smooth tone of voice, almost coercive in nature. Might try to bring up other things to convince you she's telling the truth.
Unsure of pretty much any action she takes, especially if she's concerned for someone she's around. Nonetheless she'll try her best.
Visible especially in her eyes, but she often pushes herself through it until she knows she's safe to rest.
Once she's asleep, almost no noise can wake her up. She moves a bit, but doesn't make any noise. Sometimes has earbuds in to help her sleep.
Very weird, vivid dreams that she'll wake up very suddenly from and then be unable to sleep again.
Gets bored very easily, and tries to avoid it by constantly occupying herself with something to do.
Eyes darting, searching for an escape and ready for a fight if need be.
Often rather cocky when threatened, maybe just because she knows she'll probably win.
Rarely ever holds back, leading to many unnecessary injuries and casualties alike.
Makes excuses to talk to or just be around the person, sometimes to the point of letting her whole life revolve around them. Would do nearly anything for said person in the hopes that they'd love her back.
Not the best, often shifting her weight to one side when standing or leaning on something.
Rarely sitting normally, ever.
Heavy footsteps, very recognizable. Though at other times, she can be quiet enough to sneak up on almost anyone if need be.
Almost unnaturally fast at times, although she prefers to keep to walking or swinging.

Completed high school.
None, wants to get a snake or a cat.
Rarely speaks with them.
Two older sisters, also rarely speaks with them.
Various.
A small number of actual love interests. Most notably, and the one that contributed to one of her Canon Events was her universe’s Gwen Stacy.
Jasper Weber, love interest. (Oh No)
Pocket knife
Keeps a handful of wrapped chocolates with her as a treat for the symbiote.
(Chocolate is a source for phenethylamine, a compound that positively affects mood and that Venom needs to live. The other producer of phenethylamine is human brains, so the chocolate is moreso so that she doesn't end up cannibalizing people.)

- “Are you done?”
- “I don’t have to listen to you just because of your status.”
- “As much as I love the sound of your voice, stop screaming.”
- “Are you sure they truly care about you, or is that just what you want to believe?”
- “You know I love you.”
Whoa look a self-insert. I think you all knew this was coming.

Actively counting on the downfall of the government.
