Arachnia is a humanoid Yo-kai with pale peach skin, eyes with light white sclera and light blue irises. They have violet-colored Kabuki-styled face markings, dark purple hair with light violet streaks, and appendages that simulate spider legs and a ponytail at the back of their head. They wear a black colored kimono, a pink-colored kataginu with spiderweb designs held by red ropes, a light blue hakama, and black socks with pink zori sandals. Their overall appearance is identical to that of Arachnus, despite the colors.

Etymology
Arachnia's name is derived from Arachnida, the class of arthropods that spiders belong to.
Origin
Arachnia takes their Japanese name from the Jorogumo (Japanese: 絡新婦,Jorōgumo), a youkai born from a Nephila clavata spider when it reaches 400 years of age. Different from the tsuchigumo, they are female youkai that use their beauty and biwa playing skills to lure their prey into a remote location, only to revert to their monstrous spider form once they're in their clutches, and control hordes of smaller spiders to do their bidding.
Trivia
In-game text refers to Arachnia as male. However, in a scene in Yo-kai Watch Blasters, specifically the congratulatory photo for completing the "Yo-kai Ladies' Society" Yo-kai Circle, shows Arachnia as part of a group of female Yo-kai, which could imply they're actually a trans woman.
For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that "Yo-kai Ladies' Society" is a mistranslation. The original Japanese title is "Yōkai Joshikai" (Japanese: 妖怪女子会,"Yōkai Joshikai"), with Joshikai (Japanese: 女子会,lit "women's meeting") referring to an entirely casual hanging out with friends, similar to a "girls' night out".
However in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, Arachnia doesn't get a bonus from the Yo-kai Watch Model U2, which boosts the effectiveness of all-female Yo-kai. That being said, Wibble Wobble has been inconsistent with other media in the franchise before.
Arachnia's "random" nicknames in Yo-kai Watch 2 are: Poison, Fatale, Toxiden and Davis.
