Personality
--
Ai is a one sided romantic. She is rather loving and caring to such a degree that it is scary and an feel abusive sometimes. She is very dominant to those she works with or reveals herself to that some call her a shoulder devil given form to curse all of humanity. Her tribes nature are a bunch of skeptics, thus they are hard pressed to trust others at times or believe things on word alone. You usually need to provide evidence to make her understand or change her mind on many things. Though, She and many others are usually pleased when you can provide the proof to your claims.
Appearance
--
Her stature is the first most notable thing, being basically palm sized. Along with short black hair and a fluffy tail, She seems more like a pet then a humanoid being. Her pale white face bears a small rounded nose, swept bangs to expose her forehead, pouty red lips, pointed ears to the side, and icy blue iris'. Her body is rather insectile with thin arms and legs and a lean body where her hips and waist almost match, and a rather average chest to go along with it. Her usual dress seems to be a black dress with exposed sides and a red beret upon her head. She is however wanting more outfits.
As the eater of the 'Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Black Widow'; She is a SpiderDwarf. Her Hybrid form has her gaining 6 extra eyes, 4 tiny pure black forming a V on her exposed forehead and two smaller copies of her Icy iris'd ones sitting at the sides of her head behind her normal eyes. She gains visible fangs jutting from her mouth even when closed, grows 4 more arms under her normal pair which is why she requires extra sleeves on any clothing she gets or something that allows them to poke out. Her tail also transforms into the Spiders abdomen with the black fuzzy exoskeleton and the red hourglass mark, allowing her to produce strong silk to be used for her work or combat.
Beast form is that of an miniscule Black Widow spider. Small and able to crawl into the smallest of places; But able to be blown away by strong breezes or the like. Eight long and thin black legs, two piece body with the red hourglass on her back and matching eye patterns. It is a rarely used form besides attempting to disguise as perhaps a pet or a larger scary insect that just happens to wear a red beret.

Background
--
Dwarves are rarely known amongst the people who live on Psuoletree Island. An island on the Grandline that portrays itself as a large tree in the middle of the ocean, but is actually just a rather large mountain. Those people who live among the rocky 'roots' have dreamed of climbing to the top, but few have ever made the mighty climb up and back down safely to tell the tale of what actually is up there. For they would see the thriving tribe of the Palapina Dwarves, a kind but defensive race of skeptics who tend the land above as a massive garden paradise with long summers and short winters.
The Palapina tribe is split into three castes under their monarch. The working caste tend to the islands crops for which they rain down the massive surplus of fruits and veggies to the islanders below them. In the winter, they take to mining the minerals in the tree to create new tools for the next summer. The warrior caste job is protection of the kingdom from flying invaders and climbing adventurers as well as scouting the ports below for what the humans do. The noble caste are those who stay in the town, not richer then the others and feature jobs such as teaching, medicine, and accounting. Only the queen has a higher standing then the other dwarves with princes and princesses needing to excel working with all 3 castes as they grow up before they are allowed to take the crown.
Ai moved from a working caste family into the noble caste as she took to learning medicine and the likes in a rather harsh way from forcing to get sick in many various ways or hurt in others to understand how somethings hurt in different ways and how to treat it. One of the more stressful positions one would face as she was forced to break her own arm or cut herself give herself a stomach ache or rash. It got rather insane where she quit to join the warrior caste as a field medic instead, now having to learn basic combat among younger recruits. However, It was better then working with the others in forcibly catching diseases and curing themselves of it.
It was an average life from then on, sitting in reserve or working with scouting teams and fixing the odd cut or bruise from watching the people below or fighting off mighty birds that flew all the way up. Trained in 'Palapina Sparring', which one can find many parallels to Tontatta Combat, a fighting style involving the use of their bushy tails and small size for quick striking attacks created as they rebound off objects to either use their tails to smack enemies or slice with handmade dwarf weapons or improvised human tools such as cutlery or medical tools like Ai's use of a humans former scalpel.
Her fruit had been somewhat recent find where her own lack of knowledge while working below the branches of the island, Where she had thought to have eaten some rotten new berry before returning to her comrades for camp. Dawn was awkward the next day from people freaking out about a spider, then poisonous spider, then a talking poisonous spider, THEN a talking poisonous spider wanting a date. Many Palapina members call this the Post-Ai saga where her friendly demeanor turned to a darker sort of romance among others.
The Palapina tribe isn't stranger to one another, like most dwarven tribes, so her antics are pretty much tied up or dealt with by fellow members of her tribe and criticized from being more of a public menace among dwarf and men for tying up fellow dwarves unable to reject and leaving men tied up in an ongoing mystery among the lower islanders. She still works among the warrior caste for now, but is losing her interest with her fellow dwarves and their worries and judgement on what she does.
