Physical Appearance:Oh boy.
Due to her ability to appear as nearly everyone, I'll be describing her 'Arianna' appearance.
Arianna is a woman of class and relative beauty. She tries to remain unassuming at all times and keeps the appearance of the 'girl nextdoor' rather than a hyper attractive young woman. She never looks done-up in terms of makeup, and keeps a fairly natural look to her features. She has large almond shaped brown eyes with long eyelashes and the typical feminine nose. Freckles can be seen along the bridge of her nose. The only semi-defining feature of her appearance is that her hair is fairly short compared to most women.
Shameless faceclaims. All credit to Ctchrysler and the photographer.
Don't even get me started.
Personality
Innate & Outward Personality:I cant stress this enough. Arianna is smart. Like- really, really wicked smart.
Being born with the gift of intelligence has granted Arianna the ability to learn, and to learn quickly. Her mind operates like a well oiled machine and there is usually very little that she cant understand given a few hours or so. And to top it all off, her mind seems to be hard wired for photographic memory. However, Ari is a horrid teacher. She has very little patience for slow learners, and tends to become frustrated easily. She is also opinionated- and often will refuse to see another person's side if she thinks that it's 'dumb' or 'stupid'. She is excellent at insulting people in creative and different ways.
Arianna however often doesn't have a good deal of original thoughts that aren't insults. She is a born copycat. She's the thief that never gets caught. She's that person you see a bus pass and is gone in the blink of an eye. She doesn't have a whole lot of people she calls friends- not because she dislikes people, but because most of the time she doesn't want others to get in her way or slow her down. The fewer people who know about her, the better.
Overall Ari is one of the least trusting people around. She is acutely aware of people and what they are capable of regarding lies and deceit (considering that's how she rolls in general). Because of this she just... has trouble forming long term relationships. Most people, for understandable reasons, don't like people like her. Even if she does meet a person who puts up with her antagonistic behavior- she often doesn't stay in the same place for long. Overall, Arianna just isn't a super good friend. Even if her path in life is taken out of the equation it is quite obvious that Arianna did not attend any etiquette classes in her youth (if she attended any schooling at all). She is often rude, brash, and sometimes generally volatile. She tries not to be mean, but often times she doesn't want to waste time on people for a variety of different reasons. It could be that she just doesn't see them as worth her time, they frustrate her (through a lack of understanding or otherwise), or because she's pushing them away so they don't get caught up in her web of lies. Her heart is oftentimes in the right place, even if her mouth is not hinting at it.
Hobbies/Interests:Pretending to be your mom, dad, brother, sister, dog, cat, fish, chair, you, your house, etc. You get the idea.
Skills/Talents: Acting! Arianna is a master at bullshitting her way through situations. If she isn't naturally good at it or if it's not something she's learned well enough through age, then she can sure make it seem like she is! Lets say baseball for example. If she was imitating a professional baseball player she's capable of watching another person throw a ball or swing a bat and copy the technique almost perfectly. But how far it goes is a whole other factor entirely.
Goals/Motivation"If I cant get what I want by asking nicely- then I'll get what I want by asking nicely as the right person."
Arianna is a woman who represents true, unadulterated freedom. She does what she wants, when she wants. Just try and stop her. Years of trickery, deceit, and generally taking advantage of the rich and stupid has allowed her to set up hundreds of bank accounts- all under different names, of course. So if she cant fake her way in, money talks for her.
History/Bio:She's British by heritage if the accent isn't a give away, and honestly that's the only telling feature about her. She's excellent at masking it though. To the perceptive- you know you're talking to a person's body double if their words seem slightly crisp or if she's imitating someone of hispanic heritage, has trouble rolling her r's.
Arianna was born in Britain and was born with her powers. She came over to America with her parents at a very young age and has been there ever since. How she's been able to stay without any difficulty since then leads to further questions. But that's nothing she'd tell you about.
Relationships
Family: Unknown. If she keeps contact, she sure as hell makes sure no one knows about it. Her mom hangs out with this weird guy full of bees though.

"She's a nice girl. A little rough around the edges and not someone that I would trust with a credit card- but a nice girl all the same." |
Auri and Arianna are good friends and in some senses, business partners. Arianna is no stranger to the Spider Society and due to her friendship with Auri, no stranger to their job requests. You'd probably see Arianna at Auri's parties and in her recent contacts list.

"Strange guy, but reliable. I'm closer to him than I am most people on the planet. That counts for something." |
In the few years they've known each other since, Archie and Arianna have forged a bit of an odd friendship. They've only spoken or met up on a few occasions when Arianna needed a place to stow away and wait for the heat to die down, or when Archie needed a hand getting DOVE and RAVEN off his back for suspicions of kidnapping. Nowadays, there's a bit of a score kept between them - who owes more favors to the other.
| Reyna Baker |

"Quite a spitfire, this one." |
As a result of Ari's scheming, Reyna got into a brutal fight- getting herself into some serious trouble. Due to Ari's rule of "Hurt no one", she felt indebted to help Reyna out of the situation she played a hand in causing. It's been an adventure ever since.
Abilities
Power Class:Super System - Biological
Power: Arianna loves her powers. She's basically made of Flubber - with properties of an insulator to boot. Like a combination of Monkey D. Luffy, Mr. Fantastic, and Jake the Dog. Her body can warp and shape into several different shapes and forms, stretch incredible distances, and take the form of it's container. If you hit her face with a frying pan, her face would be shaped like a frying pan for a few seconds before reforming. Because of this she has a form of pseudo-regeneration in that if she is injured or loses a body part she can make every middle aged woman jealous with a weight loss program that cuts weight and replaces her missing body part almost instantaneously. Because she is rubber-like as well, if you hit her in the right position the amount of force you hit her with can be redirected back into you. Kinda like a massive rubber band.
Arianna's body, if you cut pieces off, is actually a blue jellow-y solution that alters how much light is absorbed or reflected to match the color of human skin tones. She doesn't actually NEED to wear clothes and she doesn't because of this ability to change shape and form on a pretty damn complex scale. When this liquid solution is separated from itself, it seeks itself out to rejoin. Ari's combined intelligence manifests in a way completely different to our own in that every cell of her body is part of his super organism that works in perfect synchronism with the other cells. This is why it's able to move on it's own and communicate with other cells despite not being directly connected. Much like an Octopus' arm, each of her limbs have minds of their own and while she might not be in direct control of her arm when it's fifty feet away, it's still going to do exactly what Ari would do. Ari can also stretch herself, and her limbs, to an absurd degree. This motherfucker can out dunk Space Jam Lebron James without breaking a sweat. I'm talking bitch slapping people from sixty or seventy feet away. Arianna's body is also a living stomach. Think about it this way- if you were to punch through her, their hand will probably be raw by the time they pull it back. The 'skin' and other clothing are composed of cells that are not in 'digest mode', making them okay to touch. But because Ari is a superorganism- they can change at a moments notice. Now, these cells are great at digesting organic material- but most things such as concrete, while digestable, take much longer to break down.
Being fat in Ari's world is awesome. On one hand she can literally eat and digest anything to temporarily add to her mass. On the other hand all the weight she gains can be used to create larger constructs of her own body. She can turn her hand into a fucking hammer if she wants to. The only issue is, these constructs often need to be dense af in order to really hurt and she needs to be strong as hell in order to use them effectively- so most of the added mass she gains goes to density and strength. Because she can eat and digest nearly everything adding this mass isn't super hard. If she eats enough she can achieve a size much larger than regular. Which, in other words, is enough Ari to fill up a swimming pool. This form also be used to create a gigantic fucking version of herself. I'm talking over twenty thousand gallons of HER. I'm talking anywhere from twenty to thirty feet tall. And if she's not feeling like being a giant dude, she can be MANY normal sized dudes! Or she could be the obligatory tentacle monster. It's really up to how she's feeling that day, because her ability to control her external appearance isn't hindered at all despite the size.
Because Ari has no true 'form' per say, she can completely change her appearance to mimic that of... anyone else's. It's pretty nifty. Her mass isn't even an issue if they're not too far above or below her relative weight. She can condense her mass into a smaller volume, or expand it to create the impression of increased size. She can even sound like them by changing the vibration length and size of the echo chambers in her body. This ability also grants her the ability to change color and texture at will and camouflage into her surroundings by pretending to be various everyday objects such as but not limited to- trees, rocks, chain link fences, etc.
Limits:Ari’s body's biggest limit is that any part of her that's stretched out is especially vulnerable to being torn off or cut- because the mass is thinner. Regarding her strength, the farther he stretches, the harder it is for her to apply force. If she hit you from twenty feet it'd hurt a lot more than it would a fifty. General stuff like that. She's not superhumanly strong unless she wants to be. Arianna also cannot straight up eat anything that is thrown her way. She has to be bigger than that object. So she can't just run up to the ground and eat enough to become a giant at will. That can take a lot of buildup. Ari also sometimes has to get used to doing certain things to pull them off correctly- namely pitch matching and copying a voice. This is often the most difficult part about mimicking a person because she sometimes has to go out on a limb to match what a person sounds like when they're saying different things. She is an actor, and therefor does a lot of improvisation in situations like these. And sometimes saying things differently than how the person does can get her in serious shit. Ari's ability to mimic objects and people is also limited to who she touches. Her body is hard wired to adapt- and most processes are handled automatically once she has the right idea of what the object should look like in her mind. But this 'right idea' can only be acquired by physically touching an object for a few seconds so her body can create a three dimensional image of the object in her mind. Ari is capable of mixing (and miss-matching) textures, colors, and shapes once she has them, but she can only copy them. She's unoriginal in that respect. To a person who has extra-sensory powers and doesn't rely on visible light to see- it is easy to tell her apart from normal people. Thermal vision in particular makes her stick out like a sore thumb- because unlike normal people Arianna's body retains a temperature of around 115F.
I'd also like to state that Arianna is not capable of copying someone's power. She can mimic super system and maybe some of the more animalistic or appearance altering powers. Theoretically if she were to shed enough mass or slit into enough forms she could achieve (or in some cases simulate) flight. But beyond that she can only mimic the appearance. It's a good way to call her out if the person has any inclination that who they're talking to is not who they originally thought.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks: Ari is unable to adapt to any new forms of ranged attack that are not electrically based. And some energy based attacks are especially effective against her. Now, let me explain.
Arianna is a living energy well. Ari is like, toasty warm at all times because of this. Being cold is actually harder on her because it forces her to use up more energy to remain mobile. She CAN be frozen solid and thawed out and be perfectly fine, but in New York, cold + cold = immobile Ari if she's dealing with someone who is a cryomancer. Fire and energy based attacks are almost meaningless to a certain point. As Ari consumes more and more mass, she produces more and more heat as she gets larger and larger. Because her body is, technically, a liquid- evaporation is how Ari sheds off unnecessary mass that is consumed and forces her back to her homeostatic form from being a fucking giant. Fire and energy based attacks (That aren't electricity, she IS an insulator) can actually harm her by raising her body temperature and not only force shrinking her to a regular size or below, but can also turn her into a god damn gas if they can get the place hot enough. Once she cools down she will precipitate. So honestly the best way to deal with her is to freeze her and put her in storage somewhere if she hasn't run the fuck away already.
On a personality level, Arianna is not going to be getting into any fights unless she absolutely has to. Her power allows her to be creative, and adapt to her surroundings in ways that are only limited by her imagination. She can change shape and texture on a complicated level almost as fast as you can think- but fighting? No way man. She's squeamish. She cant stand the sight of blood. She wants to make money and make it through life without having to work for anything (and who can blame her for that?). She's the ultimate thief, liar, and she is the definition of untrustworthy. But she's not going to hurt someone.
Other: - DOVE, RAVEN, and NEST before them have thousands of records documenting petty theft, grand theft, false statements, goose chases, etc all linked to various meta humans. Many of these are due to her, but neither of the three organizations has been able to pin her yet due to her constantly changing appearance and location.
