Shiraori

Shiraori (白織), more commonly known as Shiro (白) or White, is the Tenth Demon Army commander and the transcended protagonist of So I'm a Spider, So What? After the events of the battle with the G-Fleet, Kumoko was forced to transcend the limits of the System and become a god, losing access to the System, but in return gaining an incredible amount of energy at her disposal as well as the ability to create unique magic.

Appearance
Shiraori has the appearance of a stunningly beautiful young girl with ghost-white skin and long silver-white hair. She keeps her extraordinarily long, flowing, straight hair loose on the top of her head but from her neck down she styles it in a french braid. This braid is wrapped around her like a scarf and lining for her dress. Her eyes are extremely unique, shining a bright ruby-red. Inside her two human eyes are four small arachnid pupils, which makes it look like she has five eyes on each side. Her clothes, created from a her own dimensional thread, consist of a one-piece dress with wide-open sleeves and a large hood.

Personality
"I worked, gimme food!"

Shiraori is an introvert due her having little to no experience dealing with people. She can read people very well, but often fails to communicate her thoughts. She does her utmost to avoid interacting with others whenever possible. When she needs to, it takes a great deal of effort on her part to speak clearly. .

Although she's easily misunderstood, Shiro is the type that can't help but to pick up the abandoned kitten. She's a tsundere that finds reasons to look down on her own kind actions.

Although she rarely speaks, she likes to write. Since coming to the realization that verbal communication is a difficult, she prefers to communicate with others through writing instead. She ends up writing several books worth of information about the System, her plans, and the state of the world.

She's usually stoic and happy-go-lucky but in actuality is very depressed. This side of her comes out when she has nothing to do and she herself doesn't seem to notice this aspect of her personality.

She will go to extreme lengths to get good food, such as ruthlessly rooting out dissent in the Demon Army just to ensure her three or four meals a day. It should also be noted that Shiraori needs a large amount of food to sustain her energy.

She likes alcohol but cannot hold her liquor. Her drunken behavior is note-worthily stupid or outrageous to the point that people no longer try to stop her from going on a drunken rampage. Many, many incidents occur while she is drunk.

As the teacher of Sophia and Wrath, she drills into them the idea that stats aren't everything, and that strong individuals should never underestimate those below them.

She thinks the name Shiraori is awkward, and prefers to be called Shiro.

Synopsis
Shiraori's first appearance is from the perspective of Balto, who suspects that she is an Ruler. She is also present when the Demon Lord picks up the Hero's scarf in the aftermath of the Human-Demon Great War. In Hyrince's recollection of the battle, she is described as a pure-white girl who leisurely walked onto the battlefield and obliterated the Hero and his party with a Rot Attack.

After the war, Shiraori rides atop an Arch Taratect with Ariel while travelling through the Great Garam Forest. She seems concerned for the reincarnations about to be caught up in the ensuing battle with the elves, but Ariel tells her not to worry.

In the Web Novel, Shiraori first came into being after absorbing an massive amount of ＭＡ energy from the cores of a ＭＡ Energy Generator and the robots that guarded it. These generators are the source that led to the destruction of the world and the necessity of the System. After absorbing the cores from the knowledge granted by Taboo, Kumoko undergoes Apotheosis and is reborn as Shiraori after 47 days.

When she awakens, she comes face to face with Güliedistodiez and D(via smartphone). They explain to her that she has successfully become a god and escaping the confines of the System. Shiraori actually wants to leave the planet, but is unable to do so due to the danger of gods on other worlds. D offers to make Shiraori her Kin, which would guarantee her safety, but wants Shiraori to see to the fate of the planet, either by destruction or salvation. And so, she is stuck helping the Demon Lord Ariel with her plan to restore the MA Energy and kill Potimas.

It is later revealed that Shiraori, the rebirth of Kumoko, is not the missing classmate Wakaba Hiiro. Instead, she is a spider that was in the classroom at the time of the incident.

She is able to teleport entire armies and uses this at times to teleport opponents into her pocket dimensions. Touching is not required for teleportation. In order to aim the dimensional magecraft one can either aim at a certain place, like normal, or also just designate the person one wishes to effect, in which case knowledge of where the person is is apparently unnecessary.

Shiraori uses this immense ability to partition her effort into researching new abilities and hacking the System, as well as gathering information by sending out her spider-clones to track key individuals and locations throughout the world. It is, in fact, this massive information network that she has created that is one the most instrumental of assets in her personal arsenal.

Being inside a god's zone is advantageous for the god and disadvantages for everyone else. The zone will dull the movements of opponents and nobody except the owner can properly use their power within it, although some internal magecraft such as healing and setting up barriers over the skin is possible.

This requires her to summon a massive number of clones into her opponent's zone.
