Until the day that Jessica took ill with a mysterious sickness. Her parents took her from doctor to doctor, in Europe and abroad, desperately seeking out a man who could cure her. The family fortune began to dwindle alarmingly, and little Jessica clung to life by a hair when Ivan and his wife turned from science to superstition to save their daughter. In return for most of the remaining funds available to them, a voodoo priest in Haiti prepared a potion that he promised would save their girl.

Under the tutelage of the Academy, she learned to control her powers, and unlocked new ones as well. Her body produced chemicals alien to human biology and stored them in glands just under the skin. She could generate small but powerful electric charges that would launch this venom at incredible speeds through the air. With practice, she learned she could control the toxicity of the poison, controlling the dose so it would merely stun or knock someone out...up to potentially lethal. The electrical ejection of the venom became so fast that she could punch through steel. Yet another chemical she could release into the air around her that made her irresistable to males of the species...though it seemed to irritate and repulse females. In addition to her vastly expanded physical abilities, she found that she could 'spin' long filaments from her back that would catch winds and updrafts and let her glide. These would then retract, all in seconds flat. All the while she was learning the extent of the spider essence's potency, she was also learning more mundane skills that the Count deemed important for his students. Pugilistic styles from English boxing to the exotic fisticuffs of the Chinese. Half a dozen languages so she could fit in anywhere. Skullduggery, stealth, and spying.
