Carapace:
Anya's armor is her greatest weak point. It has three major flaws. The first is water. If Anya
gets into water up to her ANKLES while armoured up, she will drown. She will literally fall over,
pulled down by her own armour, and must retract it or die. The second flaw is that the armour is
part of her skin. It can be removed by a strong enough enemy, and that would be not only painful, it
would hurt her so bad that she could potentially die. Read: bad thing to happen. And the armour
would NEVER grow back again.
Thirdly and most importantly, almost all of her powers are
inactive if the carapace isn't yet in place. She is still highly flexible and has a balance which
would make a Cirque de Soleil member blush, but that is half from her own training. The rest is
gone, until the armour is in place.
Father:
Gilberto Corazon, father of Anya, lost his wife in a fire. He nearly lost his daughter, and is
exceedingly protective of her. Getting away to 'fight evil' is not an option, and Anya has to sneak
away or come up with stories, usually involving Webcorps, to do any mission at all! She has homework
and he'd much rather she be doing Algebra than Web-slinging.
Ghastly:
The carapace has one more problem. When Anya is wearing it, she looks like a cross between a
nightmare and a preying mantis. She looks GHASTLY, and many enemies have honestly believed that she
was an alien, a mutant, or there to drink their blood. It is awful and scary and children have
screamed upon seeing it. Spider-girl indeed.
Mother:
Sofia Corazon, mother to Anya, is dead. Anya sees her in people around her every day, hears her
in any spanish-speaking person's voice, and misses her dearly. They knew each other well and the
loss was heartbreaking. Now wouldn't it be a surprise if she were not actually dead? (She isn't, but
where she is is uncertain.)
Soul of the Hunter:
Anya has a berserker inside of her. When she's pushed to her brink another personality takes
over, one which has no fear or morals. It is a hunter, it exists to hunt prey. And then to kill it.
Anya can be talked down from this state, but it generally requires physically holding her down
somehow first. Which given her abilities is not easy.
Spider-Sense:
This is not listed under 'powers' for a reason. The spider-sense of the Carapace armour is not
under Anya's control. If she is attacked without her knowing about the incoming strike, and it is
deemed to be deadly, the armour will take over, coating her in the arachnoid coating that looks so
inhuman. Perhaps only for a moment, but there is not much that Anya can do and it will react to save
her. This includes in the middle of school, while riding in traffic, or in church. The Hunter has no
morals about outing her, it simply wants to save the bearer of the Mark.
