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 is an albino. She keeps her extraordinarily long, flowing, straight hair loose on the top of her head but from her neck down she styles it in an extremely large braid. Her eyes are 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 too 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 a 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.

Shiraori came into being when Kumoko eats a GMA Bomb in a panic because it was going to explode, thinking maybe she could digest and absorb it in a similar fashion to Ariel's skill Gluttony. The GMA Bomb was being used as a generator to power a large pre-system flying machine and its army of fighters and robots. Devices that utilized MA Energy as a power source is the technology that led to the destruction of the world and the necessity of the System. After absorbing the MA Energy from the GMA Bomb, Kumoko reaches Divinity Expansion Level 10 and undergoes Apotheosis, transcending the system, and is reborn as Shiraori after 47 days.

When she awakens, she comes face to face with Güliedistodiez and Ariel. Güliedistodiez quickly realises what has happened and explains to her that she has successfully become a god and escaped the confines of the System, but due to the unusual way she entered Apotheosis by using the system she has been left weakened due to being unable to use her energy. Ariel then decides to protect Shiraori until she learns to utilize the tremendous energy she now possesses.

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.

Relationships

 * Sophia Keren: Servant. After a drunken card game with cursed cards from D's home, Sophia is unable to refer to Shiraori as anything but "Master".
 * Ariel: The current Demon King. Ariel's soul is fused with a part of Shiraori's, causing them to have a great mutual understanding of each other.
 * D: Creator. Kin. Fused her some of her memories as Wakaba Hiiro into Shiraori as she was being reincarnated.

Abilities & Equipment
White's Scythe: A weapon built from one of Shiraori's front scythe-like limbs when she was an Arachne, this weapon has been modified by D with automatic growth properties and within the confines of the System it is indestructible. It has the ability to cut through anti-magic and constructs, and emits an eerie aura of darkness. A piece of Shiraori's soul is inside it.

Magecraft
Having transcended the System, Shiraori is now incapable of using any of her former Skills. None-the-less she can replicate certain effects through magecraft. For example she can create a mirror from earth using magecraft that is like an extension of terrain magic or create bullets of darkness. Shiraori explains that she only knows how to perform Darkness Magic, Space Magic, Healing Magic, and Heresy Magic without system assistance. Even though Shiraori states that Heresy Magic can still be used, Ariel specifies that Shiraori can not use the heresy attribute Soul Break anymore.

 * Thread Manipulation: Due to her spider heritage, Shiraori can produce and manipulate spider threads. She can also completely customize them; See: Dimensional Magecraft.
 * Immortality & Regeneration: As a god Shiraori is immortal. She will never die of old age. Destroying her body is meaningless because the true form of a god is its soul, even destroying the head will only cause her to momentarily lose the ability to think. There are only two ways to kill a god. The first is to wear them down until they lack the energy for regeneration. The second is to use magecraft to destroy their soul. Even if one has soul destroying magecraft this isn't easy; according to Ariel it would require hundreds of users of Soul Break to really affect Güliedistodiez.

 * Foresight: Even after becoming a god, Shiraori is still able to use this skill. It strengthens the user’s predictive abilities. Furthermore, it allows the user to see the possible outcomes of the immediate future.

 * Evil Eye of Analysis: An Evil Eye which analyzes the energy of an opponent's soul, giving a rough estimate of their strength.
 * Evil Eye of Grudge: Shiraori has developed a Magecraft version of this Evil Eye. It continually weakens all of the recipient’s stats while damaging their HP, MP, and SP, it also adds the decreased HP, Mana and SP to herself.
 * Evil Eye of Panic: Strikes Fear into the enemies in her view. The only people that can resist this are Gyurie and Ariel so it even works against high-grade fear resistance.
 * Evil Eye of Serenity: By reversing the effects of the Evil Eye of Panic. Shiraori can use an Evil Eye that grants the target serenity instead of fear.

 * Resurrecting the Dead: Shiraori is able to resurrect the dead. However, this is only possible in a world with the System.
 * Dimensional Magecraft: Shiraori specializes in dimensional magecraft, and it has many capabilities. She can use an enhanced version of teleport that allows her to teleport anywhere she wants, even to other worlds. Furthermore, she can sense and interfere with the teleportation of others to make them teleport to unintended areas. Shiraori can create vast pocket dimensions and can manipulate the flow of time within them to a certain degree. 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.
 * Threads: Shiraori's spider threads are laced with empty space. More specifically every thread is at the same time a pocket dimension of its own, making them practically indestructible unless one is able to destroy space itself.
 * Redirection: When attacked with projectiles Shiraori opens portals leading to a pocket space in order to catch the attack. She can then open another portal in order to send the attack right back at the opponent.
 * Dimensional Fissures: Shiraori can create dimensional fissures. She uses them to defend against attacks by opening up a portal into a different dimension, and then redirecting the attack with a second portal. She also hides her clones in pocket dimensions, opening up portals in a web-like pattern to attack with her custom Evil Eyes.
 * Division: Shiraori's aptitude for splitting her consciousness into multiple bodies emerges as one of her most subtle, yet powerful, Skills in the form of division. By creating innumerable tiny spider clones implanted with her own consciousness, she has nearly super-computer levels of multi-tasking ability. 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. She currently has over ten thousand clones all over the world and in various pocket dimensions. Should her main body die she can simply transfer her soul into one of the clones. Her clones generally have the same abilities as herself.
 * Mind Control: Shiraori can mind control people by having a small clone crawl into their ear and connect to their brain.

 * Recognition Obstruction: Shiraori makes it so that people do not recognize her, instead remembering whiteness. This works by planting the concept of whiteness directly in consciousness' of the people around her.
 * Telepathy: Shiraori can use telepathy, and eavesdrop on other people's telepathic communication.
 * Soul Protection: Shiraori is able to protect a few souls in the event of System collapse.
 * Absorbing External Energy: Shiraori has a talent for absorbing external energies, being easily able to drain any power source she comes across.
 * Hologram Creation: Shiraori can create Holograms to illustrate what she is explaining.
 * Boundary Field: A realm created by a god, that is sort of like being inside the god. Güliedistodiez demonstrated that a god can even change the laws of physics inside its zone. 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. Shiraori not only has such a zone, but she can also use space magic to turn a space into her zone and in turn, cancel out the zone of others. This requires her to summon a massive number of clones into her opponent's zone.
 * Body Transmognification: Shiraori has been shown to transform her hand into a blade
