[s]Is there any way to make your character a servant of the Arachnid Queen? She's a good idea, but too powerful for the character level involved here, I think.[/s]

Actually, let me ask this; what are her actual powers? I mean, she can probably still bring information from outside in, but she's cut off from sending mail out. So I'm curious as to how this affects her.

I can see your apprehension. As the origin of all spiders she can spawn any existing and even new species. This includes larger forms but she has not done so since ancient times. She is capable of doing all the things you would expect of a spider in both her human and spider form (climb surfaces, spin web, see in low light, move quickly*, jump great distances*, slightly above normal human strength, detect the minor changes in air pressure**, venomous bite). 

While she is the Spider Queen it is not like a kingdom or anything. Mostly she is influential and finds ways into good standing. Actually ruling something is too much work for a brief reward.
