Prompt: description of the character Arachne from the series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians"

In Greek mythology, Arachne is a highly skilled but overconfident weaver who challenges Aphrodite herself to a tapestry weaving contest. When she loses, the goddess turns her into a spider.

In the book series, she is part spider and part woman. Here we see Arachne in her lair weaving a tapestry of herself prior to her transformation.
