Shiraori (白織), formerly known as Kumoko/No Name, is the main protagonist of Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? A normal spider residing on a Japanese classroom, until she was caught in a strange explosion that ended with her death. She was reincarnated in another world in the body of a Taratect.

= SPOILERS AHEAD ======= ======

Appearance
Finally she got the arachne evolution after killing various humans at the battle between the Divine Word Religion and the Goddess Religion. At this point, a human torso grew from the top of her spider head connected to the spider's body around the waist, being white as the body, with a red pair of eyes and a long white hair. While she has the upper human body, she maintains the eyes and mouth of the spider on the spider portion of the body.

After that, the only change in her appearance occurred on her apotheosis, where she lost her lower spider body and created a pair of legs. Her appearance turned more human like, reflecting in the appearance of Wakaba Hiiro. She can change her body at will at this point, so she can remake her spider body anytime she pleases.

Personality
She's an introvert, who has little to no experience dealing with people. It can be seen through the chapters in her clumsy way of talking to other people. Very shy, and always tries to avoid interacting with people. When she is forced to interact with someone, she always does it with much reluctance.

Although she rarely speaks, she likes to write. After coming to the realization that verbal communication is a difficult thing for her, she decided to communicate with others through written words. This is evident after going on a writing frenzy and writing several book's worth of information that she wanted to convey to others.

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's fond for good food, since she had to eat unpalatable food when she first came in this world. It's pretty much clear that she would do nearly anything to protect her food, and also her idle time.

She likes alcohol but cannot hold her liquor, and her drunken behavior are note-worthily stupid or outrageous to the point that people no longer try to stop her from going on a drunken rampage as it is a lost cause.

On the other hand, because she is a spider (a spider that turned into a goddess), she cannot consume caffeine without consequences. Caffeine acts like a drug to spiders, and when Shiraori attempted to drink a cup of coffee, she got knocked out. (Note: she can drink tea with caffenie for some reason in the web novel)

Plot (Spoilers)
Read the novelWhen the Hero and the Demon King fought, they created a dimensional rift. This rift ended up destroying a classroom inside a Japanese Highschool. There were 26 humans inside the classroom when the rift opened, but only 25 humans died, since the last human was "D" under a human disguise. She sent 25 human souls into the new world + 1 Spider's Soul to be reincarnated. "D" then injected the Spider with some human memories, intending to use the spider to replace the identity of Wakaba Hiiro. Shiraori is that spider.

Despite never having lived a life as a human, Shiraori has a very human-natured temperament.

Through the skill "Taboo", Shiraori seems to have discovered the secrets of the world. In Chapter 200, she destroyed a MA energy generator, stating that its something that could destroy the world.

Shiraori has split her soul by using "Parallel Will". Originally she created a consciousness that would control her body, while she focused on being the 'brain'. Then she created another consciousness that would focus on casting spells, later joined by another consciousness that would control the spells.

By using these split personalities, she has managed to infiltrate the soul of other beings, mainly the Spider Queen that gave birth to her. She discovered a link between the Spider Queen and Ariel, and proceeded to attack Ariel's soul by sending one of her fragmented pieces of soul. In the end, Ariel and the piece of Soul had merged to the point where even the Administrator could not separate them.

However, after becoming a Goddess, these fragmented parts of her soul returned to the main soul and fused back together.

After becoming a Goddess, she began to enact her elaborate scheme. She wants to destroy the skill/magic system of the world since it consumes too much of the planet's magic energy. But by doing so, it will most likely kill a lot of people through the backlash.
