Appearance:
Anya is a teenager standing at the average height of 5' 3" and weighing at about 115 lbs. With years of gymnastics and training from SHIELD, the Spider Society, and the Avengers, Anya has quite an athletic, lean build and some muscle tone, tanned complexion, and brown hair and eyes. Her hair is usually left loose or held up in a ponytail, never going past her upper back in length. Her attire is usually casual, ranging from t-shirts and blouses to leggings, jeans, and different shorts paired with sneakers, but she will also wear gym clothing or her costume seen above depending on the situation.
Ever since her career as a hero started, Anya likewise has a distinctive dark blue spider tattoo on her right arm.
Weapons:
Spider-bola
Powers/Magic
Due to the Spider Island event and her tenure among the Order of the Web and Spider Society, Anya's physiology is imbued with several arachnid-based abilities that are on a somewhat similar level to Spider-Man and several other spider heroes. Majority of Anya's physical attributes are superhuman, meaning her strength, speed, durability, stamina, agility, and reflexes are three times that of a normal human. Anya can also wall-crawl and produces her own organic webbing via spinnerets in her forearms.
Unique to Anya, she is capable of creating her own spider-like carapace that when in use causes her spider tattoo to glow. This carapace is dark blue in color and something she can control at will including its coverage, the thickness, and shape increasing her durability and strength even more.
Physical Abilities:
As stated above, a majority of Anya's physical attributes are at superhuman levels, aside from her skeletal flexibility making her limber and flexible in ways most humans are not which comes from her gymnastics. That said, Anya is a master gymnast and highly adept in hand-to-hand combat, disarming, and non-lethal combat. Additionally, Anya is trained in espionage, information gathering, containment, and hacking. Anya is also bilingual in English and Spanish.
Weaknesses:
Though Anya shares many familiar traits of other spider heroes, she is one of the few who lacks a spider sense of any kind or healing factor.
Due to her abilities being primarily magic-based, other types and forms of magic are able to harm her or interrupt her abilities, weakening them.
Likewise, Anya can be affected by the pesticide ethyl chloride due to her powers also being somewhat science based from the Spider Island event.
Though Anya's carapace grants her greater strength and durability, it does hinger her speed, agility, and flexibility somewhat due to more weight and leaves her vulnerable if she is near large bodies of water.
At times, Anya also has a short temper and impulsive streak, leading her to being impatient, brash, and vengeful.

Personality:
Anya is very much like your typical teenager. She is one of those that is extremely out-going and highly social, generally being able to talk with and join most types of crowds but doesn't quite fit into one social niche. She is energetic, hyper, and fun-loving, usually having a humorous side and enjoys getting to know other people. Anya is best described as being upbeat, positive, and always trying to see the good side to life, living her days to the best she can with deep compassion and empathy towards others. She is known to have a heart of gold and go out of her way to help people, whether she is close to them or if they are total strangers, something of which has more than gotten her into trouble or backlash in the past.
But that said, Anya is not without her own negatives. There are times that she can get in over her head, most often operating as a lone wolf and trying to do things her way without thinking everything through. Anya likewise has a short fuse and can be impatient, being quick to show others her wrath and show a vengeful side. Although, she is not a naturally violent individual, Anya is not above resorting to deception and lies to get results, and sometimes can be a little overconfident and brash when she sees red. At times, this puts Anya on the fast track to being a trouble magnet and biting off more than she can chew.
Nevertheless, Anya is loyal, protective, and hard-working, always doing what she can as a hero and trying to do what's right.
History: (Information taken from the Marvel Database)
Aña (anglicized as "Anya") Corazón was a teenage gymnast from Brooklyn whose father, Gilberto, was an investigative reporter. She moved to Mexico when she was very young, but she returned with her father to the United States after her mother was killed.
In an average first day at school, she saw her friend Lynn being bullied by an older boy. Anya defended her friend, sparking a fight. A teacher broke their conflict up, but that night the two went down to a bridge in a nearby park to resume their battle. When she got there, Anya discovered a stranger being attacked by a strange group. This Sisterhood of the Wasp attempted to kill the man, but Anya leaped in the way of the killing blow. The site was allegedly a sacred spot. The man, Miguel Legar, was the sorcerer of the Spider Society, a secret group dating back for hundreds of years. Recognizing that Anya had the ability to become the new Hunter of the Spider Society, he transferred some of his power to her to save her life. As Legar's partner, Anya visited the WebCorps Headquarters, a shell company used to hide the Spider Society's actions, and became suddenly involved in the war against the Wasps. When Legar got caught in a bad situation when doing reckon work, WebCorps enlisted Anya to rescue him. During the confrontation, Anya was shot in her arm. The wound became a spider-shaped metallic tattoo. At WebCorps, she was informed of her birthright role as a chosen initiate for the Spider Society.
As part of Anya's training, Legar abandoned her in the Mexican desert. After being attacked by coyotes, she learned she had gained enhanced strength and agility and the ability to manifest a protective blue exoskeleton. This allowed her to knock out several of the beasts. She then fully joined the Spider Society as their Hunter, being given a cover as an intern of WebCorps. Being given the opportunity to choose a new given name for herself, Anya rebaptized herself as Araña after her mother's maiden name. Since the Society asked Araña not to tell her father of the recent events, he became suspicious of his daughter's behavior. He demanded to meet her superior in WebCorps, and Legar met him to calm him down. Having her father's approval, Araña joined her co-workers from WebCorps Legar, Ted, and Nina on a mission to prevent the Sisterhood from empowering their own Hunter.
She succeeded, and continued to have further adventures against the Sisterhood and their hired help, Amun. Amun ended up discovering Anya's identity, but she was able to convince him not to target her friends or family. Later, Araña learned that she was not a true Hunter, as no Hunter before her has ever had an exoskeleton like hers. In a battle in which the Sisterhood attempted to resurrect their Hunter (even Spider-Man got involved), Miguel died and she released the power of the Hunter, letting Nina take hold of it. After the battle Anya quit Webcorps, but remained an active hero.
She was part of the registered heroes during the Civil War, though she never took part in any of the battles as she was still considered a trainee, although Carol brought her along to observe as Julia Carpenter was taken in and separated from her daughter which had Anya concerned she was on the wrong side. After the battle, she became something of a sidekick to Ms. Marvel. During this time her carapace was ripped off her body by the Doomsday Man, leaving her unable to use it when she was confronted and attacked by Julia Carpenter shortly after while she was looking for her daughter. She was also captured by the Puppet Master alongside other female superhumans to be used and sold as mind-controlled sex slaves, but was freed from his control by Ms. Marvel after being unable to attack Carol due to seeing her as a mother figure. Despite being depowered she continued to fight crime, though even swinging had become more difficult. It was around then that she became friends with Nomad.
Later she was hunted by the Kravinoff Family, for their conquest to kill all the "spiders" and resurrect Kraven. She, along with Arachne and Madame Web, were captured, and Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin) was sacrificed. After Kaine took his place in a sacrifice, Spider-Man went after the Kraven family. Madame Web was mortally wounded, and gave her powers to Julia before passing, to stop Spider-Man from killing the newly revived Kraven. Julia gave Anya a new costume, but she continued to go by Araña. Later she and Nomad had become allied with another group of super-teens (referred to only contextually as Young Allies). They battled the Bastards of Evil. They then teamed up with the Secret Avengers to take on Onslaught, who was eventually defeated when Nomad sacrificed herself for the greater good. Later on, they came into conflict with Arcade while at the same time teaming up with fellow teen heroes from Avengers Academy. Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) called her Spider-Girl, another in a long list to get her identity wrong since she changed her costume. This led to Anya officially becoming Spider-Girl, in part to avoid confusion.
In later events, the Red Hulk had gone on a rampage, and killed Anya's father almost instantly. Infuriated, Spider-Girl went after the Red Hulk, but he got away. She was ready to give up being Spider-Girl when her friend Rocky Flint told her about how her mother had been killed by the Green Goblin. She decided that she still had responsibilities as Spider-Girl, and later attended her father's funeral. One night on her way to Rocky's house, she came upon a carjacking and went into an alley to change into her costume. When she got dressed she saw that Red Hulk had taken care of it, and wanted to talk with her. He explained how he'd been investigating the murder of a friend, when he came across her father, and worked with him, sharing notes on the investigation. While investigating, the Red Hulk and her father had been poisoned, and as a result, Red Hulk had gone into the berserk mode. He explained that the organization behind the poisoning was called "Raven". Anya agreed to work together with him on their hunt for answers. Later in the day, she confessed her entire day to an invisible Sue Richards who had already secretly known she was Spider-Girl, and who had been friends with her father for at least 7+ years.
Soon after, Ana Kravinoff came hunting after Spider-Girl, using her Twitter tweets to track her down. After taking down Screwball for a second time, Anya looks at the footage that Screwball herself had been taking. She had then noticed Ana Kravinoff in the background during an interview. She then laid a trap for Ana, knowing she'd find her clothes. They got into a fight, which eventually led to Spider-Girl's victory and Ana Kravinoff's arrest. In an attempt to impress Norah Winters, Phil Urich set up Spider-Girl, by tweeting her with information on a sighting of the Hobgoblin. Spider-Girl put gum into her ears and followed a trail of witnesses to the Hobgoblin. When the Hobgoblin laughed, the effect was not as great on Spider-Girl due to the gum in her ears, and she managed to hold her own against him. Spider-Man interfered, causing the Hobgoblin to getaway.
Spider-Girl asks Spider-Man for help in tracking down and attacking the organization known as "Raven," discovering different hideouts and valuable information. They followed a trail that led to a hidden facility, where they discovered files on a project aimed at brainwashing Spider-Girl as an agent of Raven, and that Anya's roommate Rocky was a kidnapping target. It also showed that her "creepy" neighbor, Kurt Godwin, was an agent of Raven, and had been spying on Anya. Spider-Girl rushed to her apartment to find that three Raven Agents were waiting there to recruit her, using her roommate and her father as leverage. Minutes into their confrontation, Anya felt her super-strength return, and used it to punch one of the "American Ninjas" through a wall, and took down the other agents. She then discovered that she had webbing as well, before getting information out of the Raven agents. She called Spider-Man about the base she found and went in for an assault.
She took down most of the agents in the dark, virtually unseen. She called the Red-Hulk for help and destroyed a machine that kept the American Ninjas in line. They turned on Godwin, and almost killed him before Spider-Man and Red Hulk arrived to stop them. Anya then proceeded to rescue her friend and showed Rocky who she really was. Rocky then revealed she already knew, and they exchanged a hug. Before the events of Spider-Island, Anya and her group were attacked by Hydro-Man and beaten single handedly, until Spider-Man stepped in and defeated the villain.Anya later aided the Avengers, the New Avengers, the X-Men, and the Future Foundation with her allies in taking down the two-hundred Spider-Man imposters in Bryant Park on Manhattan. During the events of Spider-Island, Anya was attacked by agents of the Sisterhood after school and fled by web-swinging to get her friend Rocky to safety. Explaining her time as Araña battling the Sisterhood, she was confronted by the Hand and found that Wilson Fisk wanted to team up with her. While she initially refused, Madam Web (Julia Carpenter) came to Spider-Girl later and told her that she must ally herself with her enemies. Reluctantly, she agreed to work with Wilson Fisk given the danger at hand, who ordered a squadron of ninjas from the Hand under her command. With this group, she attempted to stop the Wasps from killing off the spiders infected citizens.
However, Spider-Girl later realized that Madam Web had meant for her to team up with the Wasps, and slow down the Spiders, so that a cure could be found. Eventually, the Spiders were defeated and a cure was administered to everyone in the city, including Anya. However, she seemed to have retained her powers despite being "cured," suggesting she was not given the real cure or she was immune to the antidote. She was recruited into the Avengers Academy. When a massive Terrigen cloud began spreading across the Earth, Anya turned to the Avengers for help in rescuing two Terrigen Cocoons. Spider-Girl and her allies soon realized they were caught in a war between AIM and Toxie Doxie, a mad geneticist whose deal with AIM had turned sour. Unable to fight AIM given the technocracy's current diplomatic immunity, the Avengers and Anya were forced to move carefully. Anya spent much of the time learning how to operate with the Avengers and also received a new costume. In the end Spider-Girl rescued the cocoons and took down Toxie Doxie.
Spider-Girl became Jessica Drew's protégé, and joined the Multiversal Spider-Army when the Inheritors threatened to destroy every Spider from all realities. Her abilities were indispensable for the Spider-Army as her involvement helped discover the Inheritors' plan, thus utilizing her powers and relationship with the Spider Society allowed her to read their scrolls, deducing how best to defeat and banish the Inheritors. Some time later, when Superior Octopus used Inheritor Technology to create more clone bodies, the Web-Warriors could not prevent the Inheritors from using that same technology to escape their prison on a desolate Earth.
Anya joined with Mayday Parker and the duo sought out Spiderling and her parents on Earth-18119; helping to fight the Vulture Gang, then Brix and Bora, and curing a six-armed Normie Osborn. While Mayday and Annie bond discovering themselves sisters, Anya learned from mystic scrolls that Annie is the totem Pattern Maker, who could change the Great Web for their needs. It was about this time the trio were jumping dimensions that they found themselves attacked by the minions of the Dark Star, causing a brief brawl before Anya found herself separated from the other two girls and ending up on Median...
