Skitter
"has complete mental control over most invertebrate (e.g. insects, arachnids, crustaceans) within a three block range"
It's a really interesting question what colour Skitter would be! She's often very altruistic (
). She has a strong moral sense (
). But she's got a scary temper (
). She's a master of group-think (
), a superb tactical coordinator (
?
?), capable of being extremely cruel when she thinks she needs to be (mainly
, but that can also be in
or other colours)...
Any sufficiently complex character will be hard to pin into one of Magic's colours. And Skitter is one of the more complex characters of recent years.
Quite!
Suggest akihng her a cycle?
Skitter, Thinker 1









Skitter, the Bug Girl
Skitter, Alexandria's Bane
Weaver
Skitter, lord of the bay
and of course; Skitter, Apothesis
I think a cycle is probably the right thing to do.
Riffing on that; I'm tempted to suggest she should be a morph. You're never quite sure which skitter you've got your hands on. And the whole chrysalis concept works lovely.
On the flip side - more words, and it's just getting cute for the sake of getting cute.
