Reincarnated Person #1: Hugo van Rengzand
His name in his previous life was "Natsume Kengo," and his main skills included "Lust," "Greed," and "Grudge Magic." He was selfish and arrogant, and in his previous life, he was something of a class boss. After his reincarnation, he became the crown prince of the Rengzand Empire in another world, living a life of luxury. He enrolled in the same academy as Shun and the others, and was hailed as a genius. However, he once tried to kill Shun, who was developing his talents more than he did, as he felt that he was getting in the way. As a result, she is stopped by Filimes and loses most of her powers.
Reincarnated Person #2: Yurine Urren
Her previous name was "Hasebe Yuika," and she is currently human. She is commonly known as "Yuri." After reincarnation, she is a beautiful blonde with blue eyes and is a candidate for sainthood in the Church of Saint Aleius. She is abandoned by her parents shortly after reincarnation, but is picked up and raised by the Church of the Divine Word. Suddenly reincarnated into another world, he was shocked, but even after his reincarnation, he was abandoned by his parents. He was saved at a time when he was desperate, and he now believes in the Divine Word Religion with all his heart.
Reincarnated Person #3: Shurein Zagan Anareit
His name in his previous life was "Yamada Shunsuke," and he is currently a human hero. His main skills include "Clairvoyance," "Heavenly Protection," "Compassion," and "Taboo." Nicknamed "Shun," he is the fourth prince of the Anareit Kingdom. He fully understands his royal duties and, while naturally committed to protecting the weak as a hero, he does not wish to take the lives of others. He inherited the title and throne of the hero after the death of his older brother, Julius, the previous hero. However, shortly thereafter, his father, the king, was killed by Hugo and his men, forcing him to leave his homeland.
Reincarnated Person #4: Karnatia Seri Anabaldo
His name in his previous life was "Oshima Kanata," and while he was a man in his previous life, he was born a woman in this other world. In fact, she is the only one who has been reincarnated with a different gender, and although she speaks in a masculine tone in front of her friends from her previous life who know the situation, when conversing in the local language she speaks like a woman, an aristocratic young lady. Her race is human, and she is commonly known as "Katia." She is the daughter of the Duke of Anabald in the Anareich Kingdom, and looks like a beautiful redhead. Having been Shun's best friend in his previous life, she now travels together with him and supports him. She and Shun were once best friends of the same sex, but after a certain incident she began to think of him as a man and fell in love. However, Shun is completely unaware of her feelings, so it is unrequited love.
Reincarnated Person #5: Feiruun
In her previous life, her name was Mirei Shinohara, and she has now been reincarnated as a land dragon. Nicknamed "Fei." She was Shun's pet, and when Shun inherited the title of hero, she became a light dragon, gaining the ability to fly and transform into a human. In fact, the egg the protagonist picked up early in the story was the egg she was in before she was born. In her previous life, she was beautiful and a center of attention in her class. She has a bright personality and excellent observation skills, and she also possesses the senses and instincts of a dragon. Before her reincarnation, she had a one-sided hostility toward Wakaba Himeiro. Despite being more beautiful than her, she disliked her cool demeanor and ignored the feelings of those around her, and she repeatedly harassed her. However, now that she has been reincarnated as a monster, she deeply regrets her actions.
Reincarnated Person #6: Kudo Sachi
In her previous life, she was a high school class representative. She is now a human and is being protected in the elf village. As a class representative in her previous life, she has a very serious personality and can be quite vocal. She also had many conflicts with Hugo and Fay, as their personalities did not match up. After her reincarnation, she was almost abducted and brought to the village at a young age, which is why she deeply distrusts elves.
Reincarnated Person #7: Ogiwara Kenichi
She is commonly known as "Ogi." Like Kudo, he was originally a high school student in his previous life and is currently being protected in the elf village. He's in charge of cooking. He was a member of the soccer team in his previous life and was good friends with Shun, Hugo, and Katia.
Reincarnated Person #8: Kunihiko Tagawa
He's commonly known as "Kunihiko." He currently lives as an adventurer and is known for his considerable strength. He frequently keeps in touch with his fellow elf villagers, and was childhood friends with Asaka in his previous life. He still travels with her. Due to his somewhat reckless personality, Asaka often stops him.
Reincarnated Person #9: Asaka Kushitani
He's commonly known as "Asaka." She's also an adventurer and partners with Kunihiko. The two, childhood friends in both their past and present lives, were born into the same tribe and grew up together in the other world. Their tribe of origin was a band of thieves who repeatedly attacked and killed elves, demons, and occasionally humans, circling the human and demon churches. While she often acts as a stopper for Kunihiko, she nonetheless respects him.
Reincarnated Person #10: Sajin
His name in his previous life was "Kusama Shinobu." In his previous life, he was the most playful person in his class, and that personality hasn't changed. He currently works on espionage missions and was born into the dark side of the St. Areius Church. He works the same job as his father in the other world. His unique skill, "Ninja," allows him to instantly swap positions between his clone and main body to evade enemies. While not as strong as Lars or Sophia, he is still quite strong, reaching a similar level to Shun. During the battle for the elf village, she escaped capture, accomplished her mission, and retreated.
Reincarnated Person #11: Filimes Haifenas
In her previous life, her name was "Okazaki Kanami," and she was the homeroom teacher for her classics class when her entire class was transported to another world. Her nickname at the time was "Oka-chan," and while she was beloved by her students, she also seemed to have a negative impression of them. She has now been reincarnated as an elf girl, and her father is Potimas, the leader of the elves. His main skill is "Student List," which allows him to learn about the past, present, and future of his students. He has been training his skills since childhood in various ways, hoping to save his students from their past lives.
[So I'm a Spider, So What?] Summary of the Reincarnated Characters!
That concludes the summary of the reincarnated characters appearing in "So I'm a Spider, So What?"! Many characters, including the protagonist, are reincarnated into other worlds. In fact, there's a great deal of mystery surrounding the protagonist, and he wasn't simply reincarnated as a spider. The intertwining of these complex settings is one of the charms of this story. In this work, "So I'm a Spider, So What?", the story of humans (human race) progresses simultaneously with the story of monsters in another world. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this will be portrayed in the anime!
