Profile
As timid as a mouse, Papillion has a jumpy and shy personality that seeks to be a helper. They love to nurture and care for those weaker than them, but still much prefer to be a follower over a leader. They value a sense of beauty, and are capable of seeing the good in even the darkest of situations. However, they are still cautious and careful about what they do, believe and say, sorting out the big picture of things before acting it out. Quite sensitive to the needs of others, they're altruistic and love to serve, always prepared to help someone out and do what's best for everyone. One musn't mistake their sweetness for weakness, however - they have a fiercely independent streak and will stand up for whatever they believe is right.
Pupa is extremely easily startled, and has trouble having any fun because of how sensitive they are to noise and touch. They're altruistic to a fault, preferring to indulge in others' struggles to a point where it consumes their mind and causes severe anxiety. They don't act fast at all, and are so cautious that they miss opportunities to get out and try new things. Sensitive and overly defensive of their ideas, they jump to the worst conclusions almost immediately and cannot be trusted under situations involving high tension or trust. Love many, trust few seems to be their motto, seeing as for all the helpfulness in their heart they have few friends and confidants. They can grow so obsessed with being a helper that they forget it's okay to rely on others at times.

Papillion and their 7 siblings all hatched in the exact same enviroment: darkness. Every single one awoke in the same pitch black room, causing a horde of very confused spider babies. The room they were in appeared to be covered in something soft and squishy on all sides, with no windows and only one locked door, and nobody knew how to fend for themselves in such a mysterious enviroment.
However, it turned out they were not alone. Every day they would hear the sound of the door quickly opening and closing, and someone would come in to feed all eight of them. Nobody knew who it was or where they were aside from by touch, but since this was all they were exposed to in life they accepted it. As time went by the feedings upgraded to different foods, until finally the children were able to gobble it on their own.
Days turned into weeks, months and years, and the spider children led a pitch black, repetitive existence. They only had each other, and through touch and hearing alone the eight of them developed a bond. A very strange bond - one spattered with fights and other primitive behavior - but a bond nonetheless. However, occasionally there were flukes in their wake, eat, sleep cycle. At times someone unknown would come in and do something unknown to one of the children, something that put them in pain to the point of vicious screaming and crying.
It wasn't until age 10 that Papillion and their siblings were finally rescued. All at once someone threw open the door and began calling out for them, and then they were being scooped up and told everything was okay. It was here they learned the truth: all eight spider babies had been kidnapped as eggs and used as victims of a cruel experiment on child psychology. Not only were they mentally damaged from it, but all eight were now blind due to never having light exposure.
Papillion now found themselves in a child's recovery facility where everything was new, different and scary. Now of all a sudden people were talking to them, showing them new things and having them make decisions. All of it was overwhelming. Yet the workers there were all very understanding, and let them take things one step at a time. They were put into intensive therapy and took classes that helped them learn to function in the real world while blind.
One of Papillion's big steps in recovery was at age 15, when they had their first proper interaction with a child. The young spider was very curious about what it was like to be blind, and the two had a long conversation that filled them with happiness. Something about the innocence and joy of a child made them experience that same joy, and from this moment on they knew they wanted to work with children someday.
Overtime Papillion's recovery improved, and they began nurturing and taking care of young spiders wherever possible. It was something they loved to do, and it helped speed up their adapting to the outside world immensely. In adulthood they have become an official children's helper around the facility that helped them live again. Even though their recovery is far from perfect, they're getting there, and have the motivation and love they need to keep moving forward.
Seeing as they had no parents to name them, Papillion was given their current name by members of the facility.
They are fascinated by the feeling and phenomenon of snow, and love living in a cold region.
They have a tendency to weave thick blankets out of spider silk and wrap in them for comfort.
