Araña is a fictional character from the Marvel Comics universe. She was the star of the restarted Amazing Fantasy title, but that particular comic was cancelled to make way for the retitled Araña: The Heart of the Spider. She was created by writer Fiona Avery and artist Mark Brooks.

Araña's real name is Anya Corazon, a teenager hailing from Brooklyn, New York, and she was recruited by a mystical clan called The Spider Society, to become their "Hunter" and fight to preserve the peace of the world. To that end, the Society has gifted Anya with spider-like abilities similar to that of Spider-Man.

Originally, Araña was supposed to be known as Spider-Girl, but since this particular ongoing title managed to dodge cancellation consecutively, Marvel decided to ressurect the Amazing Fantasy brand.
