**TRACE-E** is the tritagonist of Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends. Despite being technically genderless, she is referred to as a female. She is a spider bot (spider-themed robot) created and owned by Peter/Spidey.

## Personality

TRACE-E is very loyal to Spidey, as she is always helping him in any way she can, from following his instructions to calling the rest of Team Spidey for help when she knows that he is in trouble, demonstrated in the episode Speedy Spidey Delivery. She can also be sensitive as Peter calling Aunt May the most important person in his life, causes her to ask him what about her, in the episode Peter's Pendant Predicament. She deeply loves Spidey as she interacts with him more than anyone else she interacts with, and enjoys him gently petting her and praising her in several episodes.

She can get upset when she makes mistakes that can disappoint Spidey such as bringing his party blasters instead of web fluid refills in the short Spidey Surprise, but learns to cope with it and find another solution with him.

She also gets along with the other members of Team Spidey, and their friends. Near the end of the episode TWIST-E, she started interacting with Spin's spider bot TWIST-E by waving to him in a friendly manner, before they started communicating. In the episode Washed Away, she greeted Ms. Marvel by chirping and waving, climbed onto her arm after demonstrating her new abilities, and liked her praising her(TRACE-E) for her (TRACE-E's) help. In the episode Speedy Spidey Delivery, she saved Hulk's birthday cake from hitting the ground, and danced alongside Team Spidey and their superhero friends at the party.

When in danger, TRACE-E can become very afraid, since she does not have the abilities to save herself, to the point that she uncontrollably chirped loud enough for Doc Ock to discover her hiding place in the episode A Very Spidey Christmas. When captured by Green Goblin in the episode Trick or TRACE-E, she chirped sadly when she could not do anything to stop him, and when it seemed that Team Spidey would be unable to retrieve her from him.

## Appearance

TRACE-E is a small robot that is about half the size of Peter/Spidey's head. Her head is mainly red with the exception of her digital blue eyes and black eye outlines. Her legs are mainly red with blue tips at the bottom and each leg has a black dot at the center of the top part. TRACE-E's colours of mainly red, secondarily blue, and a bit of black resembles Spidey's suit colours.

## Trivia

* Although TRACE-E is an original character, created for *the show*, she is completely based off on the Spider-Tracers, that have originated from the Marvel Comics, since they first appeared in *Issue #11* of *Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1*, respectively.
* Despite being a robot based on a spider, TRACE-E's loyalty and love towards her owner Peter/Spidey resembles the traits of a dog.
* TRACE-E is the first spider bot, with the second being TWIST-E, and the third being TWIRL-E.
	+ Following TWIRL-E's debut, TRACE-E is the only spider bot that does not have her origin of being built shown in her debut.
* She shares the same voice actor as TWIST-E and CAL. Additionally, they are all robots introduced in Season 1 and act as helpers towards their owners.
* TRACE-E and TWIST-E are similar to the Kwamis Tikki and Plagg from *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir*, since TRACE-E is mainly red and helps create things like the comm links and WEB-Ster, while TWIST-E is mainly black and destroys things throughout his debut episode.
* TRACE-E got captured by all three supervillains in Season 1 at certain points of time: Rhino unknowillingly caught her when he caught Spidey's backpack in Lost and Found, Green Goblin had her trapped in a jack o' lantern he carried around in Trick or TRACE-E, Doc Ock unknowingly caught her when picking up a bag that TRACE-E was hiding in, and eventually discovered her on her (Doc Ock's) sleigh in A Very Spidey Christmas.
* She has been called 'a little robot' and 'spidey bot' by Green Goblin in Trick or TRACE-E.
* Doc Ock called TRACE-E 'Spidey's little bot' in A Very Spidey Christmas and 'That Bot' in the episode Bad Bot.
* TRACE-E is known publicly as Spidey's robot, demonstrated in the episode A Very Spidey Christmas. Therefore, she is not allowed to be seen with Peter when he is not Spidey.
* Spidey carried her in his backpack as both Peter and Spidey in several episodes such as Lost and Found, Trick or TRACE-E, A Very Spidey Christmas, and Washed Away
* So far, the only people seen to have TRACE-E perching on their arms and touching them are Spidey in several episodes and Ms. Marvel in Washed Away.
	+ Gwen/Ghost Spider is the third person TRACE-E is seen making contact with, when she perched on her head in the episode The Case of the Burgling Book Bandit.
	+ Miles/Spin is the fourth person TRACE-E is seen making contact with, near the end of the episode Bad Bot when she perched on his shoulder as Team Spidey descend down with their webs to confront Doc Ock and CAL, and then briefly on Spin's head when he was the right side up.
* TRACE-E is shown to like balloons, as Peter/Spidey prepared balloons as a reward for her first successful scanner usage to open his locked fridge in the episode Washed Away.
* Despite appearing in the Season 2 intro, TRACE-E alongside TWIST-E and TWIRL-E do not appear in the first few episodes of the season.
	+ A drawing of her appeared in Can't Stop Dancing, before she physically appeared in The Hangout Headache and in the episodes Doc Ock and the Rocktobots, Bad Bot, Little Ant, Big Problem, Ock Tower and The Lost Web Shooter
	+ TRACE-E, TWIST-E and TWIRL-E all appear together for the first time in the episode The Lost Web Shooter
