Komachi

Komachi (小町) is a Jorōgumo that appears in Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls Online.

She joins the liminal exchange program to become one of many potential homestay boarders for the player to host.

Appearance
Komachi is a young girl with black hair, light skin, six red eyes, a humanoid body with a spider abdomen extending from the base of her spine but no spider thorax. In addition to her humanoid arms being covered in an exoskeleton, she has six fully dexterous "spider legs" attached to her upper back which she can hide beneath her clothing.

Her attire consists of a black kimono, red sandals, white panties and socks, and two red flowers accessorizing in her hair.

Personality
Komachi is an old-fashioned Japanese girl who came to Tokyo from a village in the mountains sent by her mother. While she desires friends, she is quiet, shy and withdrawn, and struggles to make friends her age due to her lack of interest in modern things like television. Instead she really likes playing with her ball (made by braiding her own silk) and also likes to play Cat's Cradle (also using her own silk).

While initially hesitant with interacting with the homestay host, she grows to like them (despite them being "a man") and vows to make her small body grow up so that they can be together.

Skills and Traits
Physical Traits=
 * Jorōgumo Physiology:
 * Caffeine Intoxication: Like spiders, Jorōgumo can get drunk from ingesting caffeine.
 * Spinnerets: While possessing a primary spinneret at the rear of their opisthosoma (spider abdomen), from which they are able to produce and emit silk like a typical spider, Jorōgumo also possess spinnerets in their wrists which can emit silk in a similar manner. It is unknown whether the different spinnerets can emit different types of silk, at different lengths, thicknesses and strengths, or if they possess the same capabilities and the Jorōgumo simply opts to use whichever spinneret is convenient.
 * Smallest Subspecies: Smaller than Arachnes, the Jorōgumo stands at around the same size as a Japanese woman.

Zoological Classification
Jorōgumo (絡新婦) are a demi-human species of "spider-woman" originating from Japanese mythology. According to folklore, the species are said to be spiders that can change their appearances into that of beautiful women due to gaining magical powers after turning 400 years old.

Depicted as being skilled at entrapping their prey, Jorōgumo possess many of the same traits as an Arachne; such as possessing six eyes, a light exoskeleton and the ability to produced webs, however, while an Arachne has the upper body of a human and the full lower body of a spider, a Jorōgumo possesses a fully humanoid body with a spider abdomen extending from the base of their spine but no spider thorax. Also, in addition to their humanoid arms being covered in an exoskeleton, they have six fully dexterous "spider legs" attached to their upper back which they can hide beneath their clothing should they choose.
