Ananasi Page
Ananasi- Ananasi are were-spiders, of all the Bete these are the most fractured in there Alliances, as are the oddest due to there nature as half-spider, Half-human... The Ananasi are split up into 3 seperate Factions, the Tenere follow the Weaver, the Hatar follow the Wyrm, and the Kumoti follow the Wyld. But dispite what most think they do not follow these as they are but as they are MEANT to be... the Hatar do not follow the destroyer Wyrm... but the Wyrm of Balance.... a little Weaver rests in every Ananasi's soul and this makes them view things as they should be. Within each faction there are aspects, each following either the Wyld, Wyrm or Weaver, thus giving the Ananasi a total of 9 aspects.. or Auspices. There are a couple groups of Ananasi that do not follow the rules laid down by Queen Ananasi herself. The Asian Kumo for example are devoted to the Destroyer Wyrm, and are capable of creating Metis unlike the Ananasi, and as odd, but almost as disturbing are the Ananasi known as Kumatai, they also forsake Queen Ananasi's roles she laid down, but not for the Wyrm, or even the Wyld.. but for themselves, they set themselves up as Gods made flesh in small communities so they can be worshipped as deities.

Crawlerling Form- The best defence against attack for an Ananasi is the ability to turn into thousands upon thousands of spiders all sharing a type of collective conciousness…The Ananasi can become easily confused by all the Various eyes so they must choose between 1 and 10 "commanders" to control the rest as drones, unfortunatly a drawback is that if one of the leaders die then the Ananasi losses 1/10th or 1/5th ect ect of there memory, which may or may not include gifts depending on the STer. This form is also the form the Ananasi must be in to cross the wall to the Umbra ((crossing Explaination below))
