Spider Demon (Mother)

The Mother Spider Demon (「」) was a member of the Spider Family.

Appearance
The Mother Spider Demon is a short woman with long white hair and red markings on her face. She wears a long white kimono with very long kimono with large sleeves. She is very young for a demon and thus very small.

Personality
Like most demons, she is cruel, unfeeling, and murderous towards humans. Though after much time with him, she developed fear for Rui and the Father Spider Demon who abused her for being weaker than expected,this abuse was severe enough to cause her to fully embrace death instead of having to continue on knowing that both Rui and the Father Demon would continue to abuse her,in her final moments she seemed to have regained some of her feelings and memories as a human and seemed to have been genuinely touched by Tanjiro's kindness that she bid him good luck as she died.

History
Not much is known about her history, but at some point she became a demon. She took up residence at Natagumo Mountain. Later Rui came to Natagumo Mountain, and forced her and her, soon to be, family to transform themselves to look like him and become his fake family. She herself took the role as the mother of this family, but because of her being a very young demon, she was very unfit for the role and faced chastation and abuse from Rui and the Father Spider Demon. In her final moments, she seemed to have remembered some parts of her life as a human such as remembering being loved and cherished by someone, presumably her lover.

Natagumo Mountain Arc
Her role was to protect the Natagumo mountain and her family from the demon slayer corps that were assigned a mission in the mountain. She uses her threads to control whoever enters the territory and make them her own dolls. She is using some to kill each other so she can have fun playing with them.

Tanjiro and his friends enter the mountain in order to defeat her and her family. They were greeted by her dolls which were dead demon slayers. Her dolls were defeated easily and Inosuke has detected her spot. As they get closer to her, her threads become harder and her dolls get stronger. She then encountered Rui, he asked her if they can win and this was taking so long. She panicked because despite their supposed "Mother-Son" relationship between them,she knew full well the massive power gap between herself and Rui. Rui then threatened her by informing the Father Spider Demon about the situation if she didn't kill the remaining Demon Slayers faster.Now in a state of panic She then began to push the physical power of the controlled Demon Slayer to the maximum, completely uncaring to the immense pain she was putting on them due to the physical strain and began to attack the duo,She even began to resort to using the heavily injured Demon Slayers in order to inflict Psychological damage to the duo to create an opening. Eventually she began to corner the two,due to Tanjiro's unwillingness to kill his comrades,figuring out how she controlled his comrades like puppets using her threads Tanjiro picked up and threw the controlled Demon Slayers into the trees where the the threads controlling them where then tangled into the tree branches preventing them from being controlled any further,Now deeming them to be all useless to her,The Mother Spider Demon then snapped all of the captured Demon Hunters Necks and finally resorted to her strongest puppet due to her entering into a even stronger state of panic,Her strongest doll was later revealed to be a headless corpse of a Fellow Demon that she then launched to battle Inoske and Tanjiro. When they saw it they were amazed that it didn't have a neck. They started attacking it but it was no use. Until both of them used a combination attack together to defeat it. Straight after it, Inosuke threw Tanjiro up to the sky to be able to locate the Mother Spider Demon's location. As she was fearful of her defeat,knowing full well of the punishment awaiting her from the rest of her "Family",She noticed Tanjiro coming in from above her,trying to figure out her next move to survive,She realized that if she died she would finally be at peace and would no longer have to suffer the wrath and ridicule of her "Family". Having already given up any form of resistance and any will to fight on she held her arms up awaiting the release of death at Tanjiro's coming attack, Tanjiro realizing that she no longer had any intention to fight back, decided to finish her with his Fifth Style: The Merciful Rain of a Dry Day instead of the First. A "sword strike of kindness" that beheads the target with little to no pain. Used when the enemy surrenders him/herself willingly.After she was beheaded the Mother Spider Demon was shocked of how peaceful and painless her death was and was even further surprised and touched at Tanjiro's eyes,For she saw no malice,hate or contempt in his eyes but instead saw nothing pure kindness and mercy,as she faded away she began to remember all the painful memories and unkind stares her "Family" gave her and vaguely remembered her past as a human,having remembered being loved and cherished by someone and wondering where he was now,Being touched by Tanjiro's kindness she weakly warned him that one of the Twelve Demon Moons were in the mountain and bid him good lock as she died.

Abilities and Powers
Like others of her family, she can use threads to cut apart humans. She can also attach these threads to living people and corpses to manipulate them, with the recipient not being able to fight back, this ability even extended to the corpses of fellow demons,seeing as she was able to control the headless corpse of a demon and keep its body from disintegrating into dust.
