Unless this general evil they maintain,
All men are bad and in their badness reign.
-William Shakespeare

Las Arañas is Paco's gang that used to work for Martinique. However, due to recent events he left her side and formed his entire own side, the only one lacking a god to completely back them up. Lathair protects them from Megiana and her gang of goonies, but those aren't all the people that are after both Paco and Bonnie and when The Strikers finally do fall, they might be having some troubles. However they left because Megiana was trying to control Paco and in turn his gang when he has more respect and care for his people than that. The following are the people of import that have so far shown up in Las Arañas:

Paco is Miguel's cousin and he used to hate Miguel with a serious passion. All thanks to José, that was helped and now Miguel can rest a little easier. Paco is the leader of Las Arañas and has been for sometimes. Guess the leadership roll just runs through the Sanchez family. He's rough around the edges, but hell, we all are in some ways...besides a few beyond extraordinary few.

Bonnie Sanchez is Richard's daughter and Jeremy's mother. She used to be married to Miller but that was destroyed when he was and the new one brought through the portal. She also recently married Paco and so became a part of the Sanchez family as well. Bonnie comes from an abusive background. Her father beat her until she was about seven and then her mother left, taking Bonnie with her. All these years later, Bonnie hunted down her father again and realized that mistake a little too late. She's scared stiff of him and I have a feeling she always will be. The only people Bonnie really loves are Paco and her three children, Hollie, Chris, and Jeremy, though she has something against the elder Jeremy. And though she beat the younger Jeremy, as Hollie will say, she still does really love him, much unlike her father's feelings for her.

Dare is an 18 year old Hispanic teenager who has the theory that everyone should just "Dare to be themselves." She's always out to show that she follows this theory of hers completely, doing anything she pleases to do. She's a very spontaneous person as one could probably guess. The one way to really get to her is to take away her ability to do as she wants. This was placed on her but was removed after the effects it really had on her were apparent. She's good friends with Taneesha now, especially since Taneesha's helped her through a few problems with the sisters. The sisters really don't like Dare that much, a large part of the reason being that she's one to take a hell of a lot of action.

Lupé is the one current Araña known to have Earth magic, though there are bound to be more. Just like probably all of Las Arañas, she's not all bad and can even be pleasant company at times. Also if it weren't for Lupé, Paco would probably be bowing down to Megiana right about now. Her name means "wolf." ::grins:: Just thought I'd point that out. She's really powerful with her magic now, and the sisters really hate her because she's gotten the best of them more times than one. She's got a really great mind when it comes to thinking about loopholes and ways out of tight situations.

I should really keep him up here though he passed away a few months ago. Quake was a really quiet man, rarely speaking much at all. He was loyal to his friends though and really not one to piss off. His height gave him a bit of an advantage over some. It's really too bad he's gone now.

Hielo fits his nickname well. Hielo means "frost" in Spanish and the guy is really cold, rarely ever showing much emotion at all. There are reasons for this, most of it falling into a woman named Tina who was really nasty to him when they were together a couple of years back. He may be cold, but if Arañas are in danger, he'll fight just as hard as any other Araña to help them.

Rocket is an...interesting Araña. he's a lot like Dare in someways, always out to have fun which usually includes bashing something of the Striker's. Well he used to. The sisters became so sick of him that they put stuff on him until he really couldn't do much to the Strikers anymore. They also had him turned into a Malkavian, forcing Meloni to turn him. Ever since then he hasn't been seen around much and the anger of Las Arañas has been on a peak. I think this might be something the sisters just might regret.
