Abilities

 * Truth Seeing Web: Jorougumo is able to look deep into a person's mind before she kills them by using a web tendril to explode and overwhelm their mind. This is usually to bring up a trait that they have hidden from the world. Once she kills them, she spins a web with the word depicting that trait.
 * Spider Form: Jorougumo has the appearance of a small school girl, though her true form is that of a giant spider. She is able to use her fangs, sharp venomous legs, and even the ability to spit web in her disguise, though it's only in her spider form is she able to tap into her strength.

Trivia

 * The overall method of presenting a word in a spider web is a reference to Charlotte's Web.
