spiderwoman but she's from the south of Italy !

Her names takes after the typical folk dances in the south as does her costume, which is inspired by Carnival masks, the tarantula and the Mediterranean black widow Her powers are based on tarantism (can send her enemies in a frenzy) --- My original idea was to make an Italian Spiderman based on theatre,Carnival and Commedia dell'Arte but i scratched the idea

shout out to the most difficult thing to translate in the entire 6th anniversary event, the dress 塔兰图拉, this translates directly to 'Tarantula' which is strange because every other piece in this set references classical music or musical composition, and searching classical music on chinese websites using '塔兰图拉' is getting me nowhere

so i go back to the spider classifications, turns out, there's a legend in southern europe, primarily southern italy, that says the tarantula is a highly venomous spider and after being bit by one, you have to sweat the toxins out by dancing, the genre of fast paced folk dances and music originating from southern italy during this time later became known as tarantella, after the spider in question

the species of wolfspider in the legend is actually non venomous, but the tarantism, or dancing fever, was very real and looking back at the records we have about which people were largely afflicted, it was mostly woman in bad situations: abuse victims, bad marriages, widows, etc.

viewing this phenomena again through the lens of marginalized women seeking the catharsis of release and the social support of a community that would otherwise turn a blind eye, it makes perfect sense, we all have days where screaming and stomping around, playing music at full blast and getting comforted is the difference between handling it and having a full on public breakdown

anyways it should have been called 塔朗泰拉 (tarantella in chinese)

Italian traditional folk magick

There is a rich history of traditional magic in Italy, some of which dates back centuries.

Here are a few examples:

The Evil Eye: The belief in the evil eye, or "malocchio," is prevalent in Italian culture. It is said to be caused by someone looking at you with envy or ill will, and can bring about bad luck or misfortune. To protect oneself from the evil eye, some Italians wear red coral jewelry or carry a small horn-shaped charm known as a "cornicello."

Tarantism: Tarantism is a traditional healing ritual that originated in Southern Italy. It involves music, dance, and the use of tarantula venom to cure people who have been bitten by the spider or who are suffering from a variety of ailments. The dance is said to release the toxic energy from the body and restore balance.

Stregoneria: Stregoneria is a form of Italian witchcraft that has been practiced for centuries. It involves the use of spells, charms, and divination to influence the natural world and bring about desired outcomes. Stregoneria practitioners are said to have a deep connection with the earth and the spirits that inhabit it.

La Befana: La Befana is a traditional Italian figure who brings gifts to children on the night of Epiphany (January 6th). She is often depicted as an old woman riding a broomstick and carrying a sack of toys. Legend has it that she visited the baby Jesus on his birth and has been giving gifts to children ever since.

Cimaruta: The cimaruta is a traditional Italian charm that is said to provide protection against evil forces. It is shaped like a sprig of rue, a plant that has long been associated with protection and purification. The charm often features symbols of the moon, stars, and other celestial bodies, as well as images of animals and other nature spirits.

Headcanon Week

Day 5 - Dancing

Since he has jester characteristics it is a must for me to imagine Per'kele dancing in some way or another- and let's be real, aside from preening/sharpening his feathers and practice throwing meteorites I don't think he has much else to do up there.

Pretty sure he dances as if he is going through a possession, the whole closed or wide open eyes and seemengly random/snappy movements deal, think interpretative dancing but following the mess going on inside his head- yeah. He has more elegant and "calm" moments but before you know it he is just walking like a spider or contorting in some other way. He just vibing.. aggressively.

Either that or he just looks like he has acute tarantism and just breaks it down with some sort of Tarantella.
