Mental characteristics
Personal history
Big Mama was born Oiwa Kikume in a tribe of jorogumo. Like many of her kind she sustained herself by feasting on the energy men that she tricked into loving her. But Kikume was a little more greedy than the others, simply unsatisfied with power she gained from hunters and fishermen, she eventually moved to the city, where she'd use her charm to wriggle her way into the local crime syndicate, where she'd gain enough influence and money to start making predatory deals with the citizens of the Nanohana District. These deals were often designed to fail, leaving people in debt to her, allowing her to feed on their energy, or just eat them if she wanted. She would gain the nickname Big Mama, and become notorious in the region.
Big Mama had many men wrapped around her finger. One of these men was the Daimyo himself. He had fallen in love with the bewitching spider demon and would give her whatever she wanted to make her happy. Treasures, riches, and gifts of all types. One day, she convinced the Daimyo to give her control over the Battle Nexus, the fighting arena that hosted battles between the greatest warriors in the land. But soon, even the Daimyo had nothing left to give but his throne, which he could not give to Big Mama. When he said as much, Big Mama broke things off with him and refused to see him again. This made the Daimyo so distraught, that he was later found dead with a sword plunged into his stomach, forcing his son Lord Daigo to take over.
Lord Daigo wanted nothing to do with Big Mama, but also had little power to take any of his father's gifts from her, so he simply forbade the spider demon from entering the palace, declairing if she ever set foot in the palace again, she would be killed and her treasures returned to the palace.
Since then, Big Mama has been satisfied running the Battle Nexus, which not only made her money, but allowed her to feed on the energy of the warriors and the violent whims of the audience. Big Mama would change the rules of the Battle Nexus dramatically in order to make the fights more tense and exciting. Fights to the death where now allowed and there was no amount of cheating or dirty play that would disqualify a match, so long as it was entertaining. This turned the once honorable Battle Nexus into a bloody, scummy death arena.
Employment
Big Mama is in charge of the Battle Nexus. She does all the planning and scouting for fighters as well as acts as the final judge for a fight. She creates the rules for the battles and enforces them how she chooses. She also has her hands in the pockets of some very influential people in the city, which garners her a lot of power.
Morality & Philosophy
Big Mama does whatever she wants and whatever suits her needs above all else. She's not opposed to manipulating people and ruining their lives if it means she gets something out of the deal. She has little empathy for others, and doesn't care who she steps on to get what she wants. All she really cares about is her image and power.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Jorogumo feast on the energy of other living creatures, particularly that spawned from emotions. It doesn't really matter if said emotion is positive or negative, so Big Mama will do whatever gets those emotions out of people the most effectively. Doing so not only feeds her, but makes her more powerful.
Personality
Big Mama comes off as a charming, elegant woman with a bubbly personality. She's always smiling and speaks in an almost sickeningly sweet tone that lowers people's guard so that she can make a deal with them or convince them to do something for her. But underneath it is a manipulative monster. She is very cunning and can read a person easily, and can easily trick people. When Big Mama shows her true colors she can be quite mean and scary, and downright psychotic. She will meet even the slightest transgression against her with threats of mutilation and death, mostly in the form of eating them alive.Personality Quirks
She tends to make insectoid hissing sounds when she speaks, especially if her mask starts to slip.
Social
Mannerisms
Big Mama presents herself as a elegant and beautiful woman. She is often smiling and holding herself in a flirtatious or seductive position. When she speaks it's very smooth and bubbly, but she has an odd speech pattern where she'll sprinkle whimiscal nonce words to make her sentences sound more cute and cheerful, for example, refering to the turtles as 'Turtley Boos".
Wealth & Financial state
Big Mama has amassed herself a large amount of wealth in her long life. Her office alone contains a massive vault overflowing with treasures, many gifted to her or taken as repayment for loans. She's rich enough to offer sizable prizes for her Battle Nexus champions.
