History[]
Crystal Fury[]
Aracne was born in Othrys and join the Othrys Empire some time after it was created and eventually attacked the Crystalia Kingdom with help from defector Artemis and both Draco monster and Faucet Hildon.
With the Crystalians gone, the Othrys Empire is seemingly unstoppable so Artemis deploys an army of Bechats to conquer Pine Ridge, California so that the Empire could engulf it in darkness for Lord Cronus to live on. However, heroes named the Crystal Fury Power Rangers defeat the Gnomes so Aracne deploys Faucet Hildon to draw a magic circle around the city to destroy it. However, the Crystal Rangers and thier Crystalzords are easily able to destroy it. Crystals Awakening
Camille was able to kill Rugbyman with his own rugby bomb. Forutunately for Aracne, she is able to use Rugbyman's Dark Energy to send a Masked Beast. Using a Lizard Type Masked Beast as the base, Aracne creates Rugger Ligany and sends it to Earth to steal human resolve. However, the Crystal Earth Megazord was easily able to slay the beast. The Worth of a Leader
Whilst Headcatcher causes chaos in Pine Ridge, Aracne discovers that he has gathered enough dark energy to unleash a Masked Beast. She chooses a Snail type to create Vise Shellga and sent it through the Dark Portal to aid its monster counterpart in killing the Crystal Fury Rangers. However, both were easily killed. Blue Issue
After Artemis revealed the Dino Crystalzord to the Crystal Rangers, Lord Cronus becomes worried that this new plan to get them out of the way would fail miserably. To appease her master, Aracne sends Paleolith Basra to Earth to soften then up to make it easier for Artemis to kill them. This ultimately fails when the Masked Beast accidentally attacks Artemis and is killed for its incompetence. Ally or Foe?
Although Freezer is killed by Artemis for being weak and pathetic, the dark energy that he and Flamator gather is enough for Aracne to unleash a Masked Beast. Despite being displeased at Artemis' brutal killing of the Masked Monster, she chooses a Double-Head Type to create Cold Hot Dagames and sends it to Earth to try and salvage the scheme. Although it manages to defeat the Crystal Fury Rangers, it is forced to retreat when it runs out of energy. Hot and Cold
After Julian kills Flamator with his Crystal Blade Blaster's Double Crystal Blast, Aracne sends the newly re-powered Hot Cold Dagames to Earth to get revenge but the new Train Crystal Megazord easily destroys it. Express Train
Although disappointed with Artemis for killing the Reset Button Jamen for desertion, Aracne realizes that the treacherous monster gathered enough dark energy to unleash a Masked Beast. He chooses a Lizard Type to create Hassha Button Ligany and sends it to Earth to try and salvage the disastrous scheme. The Rangers are surprised by a Masked Beast arriving so soon but they swiftly summon their Crystalzords and form the Crystal Megazord. However, Aracne points out that it can end the battle immediately by launching its missiles and so orders the Hassha Button Ligany to hit its launch button. However, Lionel summoned the Train Crystalzord and combine it with Crystal Megazord to form the Crystal Megazord Surfer Formation who instantly obliterated Hassha Ligany with its Crystal Dash Express before it even had a chance to press its button to fire its missiles. Enraged, all Aracne can do is slam and stamp around in frustration. Déjà Vu
Aracne sends Haejigoku Shellga underneath Pine Ridge to rip the city apart since the Crystal Fury Rangers are unable to reach it underground and thus be helpless to stop it. Unfortunately for Aracne, this prediction proves to be untrue since Christian (Crystal Fury Silver) uses his new Drill Crystalzord to force it to ground level where the Crystal Earth Megazord obliterates it. Underground Combat
Months after the death of Lord Cronus once and for all, Aracne went into hiding in another unknown planet but was found by Christian. Queen Esmeralda has Aracne remanded to Crystalia's prison. The Shining Ones

Personality[]
Aracne is shown to hate beautiful things, and viewed them as annoying. She is seen being sickened by the sight of many beautiful things on Earth, as she almost wanted to puke when she sees in the Othrys's globe that Earth has so many beautiful things. She has Artemis and later Rhea as her comrades and colleagues. She also enjoys the entertainment the Crystal angers provide, but finds Artemis more than intimidating, especially since he effortlessly defeated Paleolith Basra. Artemis employs tactics based on many human lifestyles and activities, although she despises the planet's natural beauty. Arcane could sometimes be jealous of the arrival of new recruits to the empire, although this can quickly pass in a few days as seen during and after Rhea's arrival.
She is loyal to her master, giving him useful advice and suggestions in addition to reassuring him when their plan fails or whatever. Aracne is also someone who enjoys to deploy her skill to construct monsters for the common good of the Othrys Empire and is one of the main responsible (the other being Lord Cronus) for the growth of the empire with the addition of the monsters she creates. Despite being evil, she is kind to her teammates, which was demonstrated when she defended Artemis, following his death, against Lord Cronus in "The Arrival of Lord Cronus" and extremely loyal to the empire.
However, as seen in Royal Cosmic, after her days in prison and the defeat of the empire, Aracne became crueler and less loyal to her allies than before, not hesitating to flee the battle and abandon TBA just for her own selfish survival. She is however more open to collaborating with other monsters, not in the same way as when Rhea arrived where she could not stand her, however she now betrays them when she feels it necessary.
