◆ born april 18, 1987, in shoreditch, london. has the accent to go along with that, though it is purposely not posh.

◆ aranea works as a tattoo artist at styx & stones, the long form name for styx. (she rarely uses the full name, even on her business cards, because it. pisses. her. off.) while she does mainly specialize in calligraphy, oriental and western paintings, along with more modern, geometric designs, aranea's hardly married to her aesthetic and has basically done... anything over the course of her three year employment, ranging from star wars tattoos to 'tramp stamps.'

◆ in the meantime, aranea carries out a life of crime. she is by and large a black marketeer. there are series of skills that go along with this: forgery, robbery and stealth. these days, she mainly hires people, sometimes unsuspecting, to do deliveries from point a to point b for her.

◆ forget the word fuck, 'settling down' are the actual curse words of aranea's life, as she is devoted to her alternative lifestyle. she frequents most of recolle’s bars and clubs. the more unpretentious, the better.

◆ her musical genre of choice is rock. metal, indie, classic - she's not all that picky. it just has to be good she dabbles in electronic and hip hop.

◆ lives in a one-bedroom apartment in tisse, industrial style with exposed brick walls and plumbing on the ceiling. the actual furniture is a blend of art deco and traditional, with art prints in ornate frames.

◆ fashion-wise, her wardrobe is almost entirely comprised of black, greys, silvers and white, without paying much mind to modesty. jewel tones are reflected in her accessories. her nails are long and filed to a point, usually painted black, with a sheer silver shimmer overlay.

◆ with the dissolution of the subway, aranea gets around the city by riding her motorcycle, a ducati diavel.

◆ speaks decent french.

◆ literally has never held a long-term romantic relationship. aranea does have sex, at times, but in less frequency than some people assume.

◆ works out at least four times a week at the gym. she has to retain her strength and some physical fitness with her love for junk food and hard liquor. her daily cigarettes help keep the pounds off too, while slowly but surely shortening her lifespan.

◆ has a really weird, complex relationship with religion and spirituality. baptised as catholic in her youth, she converted to wicca when she is twenty. though she still considers herself wiccan, she goes to church every couple of weeks to explore the... connection aranea feels there. neither wicca or christianity feel 100% right to her, but she believes in a higher power somewhere out there.

◆ random personality stuff: myers-briggs - estp. enneagram - type 7, 8 wing.
