Early History:
Anya, or Araña as she would be called, was a teenage gymnast from Brooklyn whose father Gilberto Corazon was an investigative reporter. He moved with her from Mexico to the United States after her mother was killed.
Spider Girl:
Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) who as part of a long list to get her identity wrong since she changed her costume, called her Anya Spider-Girl who adopted the name in part to avoid confusion.
Some time later, the Red Hulk had gone on a rampage, and killed Anya's father almost instantly. Infuriated, Spider-Girl went after the Red Hulk, but he got away. She was just about ready to give up being Spider-Girl, when her friend Rocky Flint told her about how Anya's mother had been killed by the Green Goblin. She decided then, that she still had responsibility as Spider Girl, and attended her father's funeral. One night on her way to Rocky's house, she came upon a carjacking, and went into an alley to change into her costume. When she got dressed she saw that Red Hulk had taken care of it, and wanted to talk with her. He explained how he'd been investigating the murder of a friend, when he came across her father, and worked with him, sharing notes on the investigation.
While investigating, the Red Hulk and her father had been poisoned, and as a result Red Hulk had went into a rage. He explained that the organization behind the poisoning was called "Raven." Anya agreed to work with him on their hunt for answers. Later in the day, she confessed what had transpired the entire day to an invisible Sue Richards who already secretly knew she was Spider-Girl. Sue had also been friends with Anya's late father for at least 7+ years.
Soon after, Ana Kravinoff came hunting Spider-Girl, using her Twitter tweets to track her down. After taking down Screwball for a second time, Anya looks at the footage that Screwball herself had been taking. She had then noticed Ana Kravinoff in the background during an interview. Spider-Girl then laid a trap for Ana, knowing she'd find her clothes. They got into a fight, which eventually led to Spider-Girl's victory, and Ana's arrest.
In an attempt to impress Norah Winters, Phil Urich set up Spider-Girl, by tweeting her with information on a sighting of the Hobgoblin. Spider-Girl put gum into her ears, and followed a trail of witnesses to the Hobgoblin. When the Hobgoblin laughed, the affect was not as great on Spider Girl due to the gum in her ears, and she managed to hold her own against him. Spider-Man interfered, causing the Hobgoblin to get away.
Sometime afterwords, Spider-Girl asked Spider-Man for help in tracking down, and attacking the organization known as "Raven," discovering different hideouts and valuable information. They followed a trail that led to a hidden facility, where they discovered files on a project aimed at brainwashing Spider-Girl as an agent of Raven, and that Anya's roommate Rocky was a kidnapping target. It also showed that her "creepy" neighbor, Kurt Godwin, was an agent of Raven, and had been spying on Anya.
Spider-Girl rushed to her apartment to find that three "Raven" Agents were waiting there to recruit her, using her roommate and her father as leverage. Minutes into the confrontation, Anya felt her super-strength return, (She had lost it at some point before) and used it to punch one of the "American Ninjas" through a wall, and took down the other agents. Anya then discovered that she had webbing as well, (Something that she did not know beforehand), before getting information out of the "Raven" Agents. She called Spider-Man about the base she found, and went in for an assault.
She took down most of the agents in the dark, virtually unseen. Anya had also called in the Red-Hulk for help, and destroyed a machine that kept the "American Ninjas" in line. The, that is the "American Ninjas," then turned on Godwin, and almost killed him, before Spider-Man and Red Hulk arrived to stop them. Anya then proceeded to rescue her friend, and showed Rocky who she really was. Rocky then revealed she already knew, and they exchanged a hug.
