Widow



“ I am here to stop you!” -Widow

Widow is a spider mage who can control void. She is also the daughter of Grimm, so she can control fire as well.

Appearance
Widow wears a black dress with a hoodie which covers her face. The dress has a fluffy red collar with a bow, fluffy red sleeves and the same materiel at the bottom of the dress. She has a white mask with 4 small red eyes on her forehead and under, and 2 big red eyes under the second pair. She prefers to use her void in fights, but she also battles with a nail with a handle representing a spider.

Story
Widow was born in Pharloom, as the Grimm Troupe tent was there at the time. Her mother left the tent for an unknown reason, which is definitely not divorce, and took the baby with her. Her mother and she were separated and she was later picked up by one of the weavers who was fleeing to Hallownest. The weaver brought her to Deepnest, where she was raised by Herrah and Pure, who was her step-sister.

Years passed, and Widow grew up. The infection was coming, and the Pale King wanted dreamers- you know what happened. Widow found out about the deal the Pale King and Herrah made, and was in rage. She wanted to stop the Pale King from taking Hornet, the last and only heir. So she took Nosk and tried to stop the king’s army. They got into a fight when the Pale King tried to stab her and...she accidentally discovered her void powers. The Pale King was both interested in her powers and was in rage of her attacking his army, so he decided to imprison her in the white palace. So the remains of the army captured her and set off to bring her to the Ancient Basin.

After they reached Ancient Basin, Widow took an attempt to break away and escape. It worked, but then she was on the run from guards. Suddenly, a vessel serving in the Grimm Troupe, Red, saved her and transported her to the tent in Dirtmouth. That’s when she met her father, Grimm. He explained her ad her family’s story and Widow understood and accepted it. A few minutes later, the Pale King caught up with the tent and tried to convince Grimm to give her to him. Grimm suggested to give his daughter one last chance, and the Pale King accepted. That way, Widow lived out of trouble and in safety with her father, the Grimmkins, Brumm, Divine, the Grimmsteeds, Blood and Red.

Relations

 * Grimm (father) - He is the only parent Widow has, so she respects him and loves him like a dad. He was the one who gave her those red eyes, her fire and her determination to survive.
 * Her mother - Little is known about her mother, except that she gave her spider characteristics and her powers of void.
 * Red (little brother) - Red is originally the one who helped her find her father, so she likes him. She includes him in her’s and Blood’s adventures, and she fights anyone who dares to hurt him.
 * Blood (older brother) - He is her cool and mischievous older brother. He stands up to her as much as he stands up to him and he has a born smell for geo.
 * Herrah the Beast (froster mother) - Herrah was the only mom Widow ever had. She loved her as she would’ve loved her mother, but she became sad when she found out about the deal.
 * Hornet - Widow only saw Hornet once in the Deepnest palace before she went out with Nosk. She said she looked cute and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She never saw Hornet again.
 * Pure (step-sister) - Pure was the only sister Widow had. Pure was actually a spider mage as well, but only she cast spells with soul. She was kind of disappointed with her on the day she found her father and had an argument with her. Widow still hopes Pure can forgive her.
 * Grimmkins, Grimmsteeds, Brumm and Divine - She likes them a lot and sees them a lot. She likes Brumm best. Once they had a duet: Brumm was on his harmonica and Widow on her flute.
 * Grimmchild (youngest brother) - She sees him rarely, often sleeping. Sometimes she volunteers to collect flames for him. But still, she sees him rarely.
 * Pale King - She was in hot water with him once, but now she stays out of his way. She still thinks of him as ‘a fork-headed worm who crawled out of hell’.
 * Nosk - Nosk was Widow’s pet before she discovered her void powers. She trained him to use his shapeshifting ability. She even tamed him when he was infected.
 * Vance - She still thinks of Vance as a pathetic fool who claims he has the power of god. She has never witnessed it, so she infers that he can’t possibly control god’s power. Little does she know...

Attacks
If Widow is ever challenged, she has the following attacks:

Phase 1:


 * Shade Soul - Widow blasts a shade soul into your direction.


 * Acrobatic Spin - Widow jumps, spins her hands, spins in the air, and lands on your spot.


 * Nail Slice - Widow slices her nail four times: Two times like a great husk sentry and two times like pure vessel.

Phase 2: Keeps the same attacks, and adds new ones:


 * Descending Dark - She jumps into the air like the beginning of an acrobatic spin, but instead of spinning in the air, she gathers void and dives straight into the ground, hitting you if you get too close (A little like the Soul Master’s Desolate Dive attack.). There is also a 20% chance she might do it instead of landing normally in a acrobatic spin attack.
 * Abbys Shriek - Widow shrieks into the ceiling, causing stalactites to fall onto the ground. After each one has fallen, she will pick some up using void, and throw them at you.
 * Shade Uppercut - Widow teleports behind you and dashes, leaving a trail of fatal void behind her. She then launches herself into the sky, then makes five fireballs rain down on the arena. This is practically the same as her father’s Dash Uppercut attack.
 * Acrobatic Dive - Widow teleports in the air, then spins in the air and dives towards you. In any case, both if she misses or hits you, she will dash, leaving behind a trail of fatal void behind her (like in the shade uppercut attack). This is similar to her father’s Dive Dash attack.

Phase 3: She stops using the attacks from Phase 1, keeps the ones from Phase 2 and adds new ones:


 * Fire Bats - Widow spawns five fire bats: one above the middle ones, three in mid-air and one really close to the ground. Same as her father’s fire bats attack.
 * Fire spikes - Widow stamps and makes fire spikes appear on the arena. This is similar to her father’s cloak spikes attack.
 * Fire Spider - Widow surrounds herself with fire and sends out fireballs that follow you. She cannot be hit with the nail, spells and nail arts. This is similar to her father’s pufferfish attack.

Phase 4: She upgrades all of her attacks from Phase 2 and 3.


 * Decending Dark - Widow now sends out shockwaves when she lands.
 * Abbys Shriek - Widow can now do another attack while the stalactites are falling.
 * Shade Uppercut - If you get hit by the void it deals two masks of damage.
 * Acrobatic Dive - When she lands, she creates a shockwaves. The void deals two masks of damage.
 * Fire Bats - This time, she repeats this attack after doing it. The Fire bats deal two masks of damage.
 * Fire Spikes - The spikes deal two masks of damage.
 * Fire Spider - The fireballs deal two masks of damage.

Phase 5: She regains the attacks from Phase 1, keeps the attacks from Phases 2 and 3, keeps the changes from Phase 4 and changes the Phase 1 attacks. Note: This is the last Phase.


 * Shade Soul - She spawns three on the top and three on the bottom. They now deal two masks of damage.
 * Acrobatic Spin - When Widow lands, she does a shockwave. She also can repeat this attack after doing it.
 * Nail Slice - She now does that 4 more times the same way. It also deals two masks of damage.

Trivia

 * Widow’s mother was probably a weaver, and she may have left due to the hive mind in Pharloom.
 * Widow does not share a mother with Red and father with Blood. However, Blood has the same spieces as her. He even shares the same spider type as Widow.
 * Widow also has the power of silk, but it is extremely weak and therefore she dosen’t use it.
 * Widow has clashed with Stich before, but now they are not enemies.
 * Widow’s spider type is, in fact, a black widow.
 * The only thing Widow has left of her mother is her nail. One of the reasons she rarely uses it is because she dosen’t want to break it.
