Aranea

The Green Siren

**Eleanor Carter**, more commonly known as **Aranea**, and **Oracle** in Cyber Hell, is a Sinner who acts like she doesn't exactly belong in Hell. Working as a singer, performer, actress and model for the Three Vs, alongside Angel Dust, she is one of the main characters of two Hazbin Hotel fanfictions: Life in Cyber Hell, which is inspired by HC4Art's AU, and We're Sure to Drown, which takes place in the original universe.

## Appearance

Much like Angel Dust and his family, Aranea is a slender-built anthropomorphic spider demon that stands around 6 foot 7 inches tall. She shares a striking resemblance to Angel Dust, except for a couple of design changes to tell the two demons apart, such as Aranea's extra eyes are in a triangular formation at the corner of each main eye. Aranea's markings are a pastel green color that glow a poisonous green when she uses her powers, and take the pattern of Celtic knots instead of hearts, located on her prominent fluffy chest and hips. Her eyes are a poisonous green with black sclera.

Aranea's casual attire consists of somewhat Gothic, but comfortable clothes. She wears a dark grey cardigan, that reaches past her ankles, over a green t-shirt with black trimmings and sleeves. Dark olive green cargo 3/4-length pants and black boots.

In the Cyber Hell story, Aranea's appearance hasn't changed that much. Apart from that her eyes now glow an eerie green color and she has cybernetic enhancements infused to her spine and AI interface infused in her left eye.

Her Cyber Hell attire consists of a skintight black bodysuit with fluorescent neon green glowing stripes and matching black boots with neon green soles.

## Personality

Aranea is kind, generous and compassionate, good to have around during a crisis as she knows how to remain calm and take control of the situation until it is resolved. Jack is very caring and nurturing to others, however she has a habit of neglecting her own needs while giving to others. She has shown to be very intelligent and loves to learn.

Aranea tends to wear her heart on her sleeve, she feels anger intensely and joy quite well, but her sadness is silent and hardly, if ever, marked by tears. She hardly lets her rage control her and cheerfully remarks on the things that make her happy, but hardly says a word in her sadness, though it is visible to everyone. However, though she may feel sad, she never gives in to despair, always looking for a solution the right way. Her determination and little regard for pain can make her a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Alongside, Aranea is gracious and well-mannered, knowing just the right things to say and do. Although she doesn't look it, Aranea has high moral standards and doing the right thing is important to her, along with being a loyal friend and a faithful partner, gentle but not passionate.

Although strong-willed and loyal, Aranea is a good listener and can view others problems with empathy, clarity and a balanced analysis, seeing both sides while showing respect and caring.

In short, Aranea is generally frank, fairly sociable, but preferring peace at any price. She can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, and run the risk of being exploited by others. She may appear to be innocent and naïve but she is actually quite streetwise and astute - she can read others well, but often keeps it to herself.

## History

Originally born in Gosport, Hampshire, South Eastern England, on the date of August 2nd 1992, Aranea's human life was anything but ordinary. Formerly known as Eleanor May Carter, Aranea was the eldest daughter of a strong and kindhearted mother named Lorraine Gentry, and an emotionally abusive and alcoholic mechanic father, whose name Aranea never mentions. When Aranea turned 8 years old, her mother divorced her father and left home to a smaller town in Nottinghamshire, named Newark-on-Trent, where her mother met a gentle giant mechanic named Stephen Henderson and Stephen became Aranea's step-father.

Throughout her childhood, Aranea was bullied and shunned by the other children in her schools, because she was different, as she always found companionship with animals instead of people, as well as was more intelligent than the other children. She never understood why, but it was breaking her self-esteem and faith in humanity. During her young teen years, Aranea had a habit of running away from home, to express her unhappiness with her life in England. So, to help stop this habit, Aranea's mother and step-father decided to immigrate to Alberta, Canada, because Aranea's step-father got a job opportunity to work as a mechanic for a popular car company. Aranea and her younger sister, Samantha, couldn't say yes fast enough.

During her life in Alberta, Canada, Aranea was able to finish High School education, got a job in the fast food business and lived happily with her family. However, come Friday the 24th of November 2017, during the Black Friday weekend, Aranea was in a shopping mall, waiting for Samantha for a couple of hours. She gets a text message that told her that Samantha was called for a babysitting job, leaving Aranea alone and her depression getting worse. Left home alone with her thoughts, depression got the better of her. So she committed suicide by overdosing on her anti-depressant medication and crashing into her bedroom.

When she regained consciousness, Aranea found herself in a pastel-colored realm of clouds with other people she didn't recognize. It didn't take her long to realize that she was in Limbo and was about to be judged for the afterlife. After the specter of judgement spoke to her, Aranea failed judgement, due to the sins of envy, sloth and sorrow weighing in her heart, Aranea reawakened in the afterlife dimension, Hell, as an anthropomorphic spider demon.

With no home and no job for the first couple of months of being in Hell, Aranea was about to call it quits and found a place to sleep for the night. Aranea sang herself to sleep, and woke up the next morning to find herself not in the alley, but in a bedroom. It turned out that Aranea was found in the abandoned alley by the Radio Demon himself, Alastor. Taken by how well she sang herself to sleep, Alastor took it upon himself to take Aranea in and hire her as a storyteller and songstress for his radio show. Aranea was a little hesitant at first, due to her anxiety and paranoid thoughts, but she eventually agreed to take the job, making a reasonable deal in the process and adopting her new name.
