She’s wearing a pink dress and pink shoes as well as a blue necklace. A digital drawing of Hephaestus. She is depicted as a trans woman with short, blonde hair and a metal leg; the metal leg is silver in color with red throughout like lava.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled break to bring you the early access for the next Arachne and Athena minisode! You can get access to that episode right now at patreon.com/pinetreepods ahead of our normal Wednesday release!
Arachne is watching Athena a normal amount and in a completely platonic way, I’m certain. There definitely won’t be any implications here, no sir.
