Spider Girl is sitting patiently in what seems to be a circus arena. (In the original artwork -which is attached below- there is a circus toy on the background.) She has fabulous red boots in all her 8 legs (only 6 are visible). Her lace collar has been woven by her spider friends, two of which we can see in the picture. I seem to remember that in the original artwork she is called Charlotte.
Spider symbology is ancient and spiders are depicted in the folklore of probably all cultures partly because of their fascinating ability to weave webs.
I see this is actually as a very RWS card. The Arachne/Spider-girl knows rewards will come but only through patience. She knows that she will get what she wants but not just yet. She needs to wait patiently like a spider, and if anything, attend to detail but not make any big moves.
LWB:

I think her red boots symbolize her independence and her ability to assess and know what it is that she wants. They hold a promise that she knows where to go next after this waiting period is over. The boots have high heels and look rather sexy. There are some red shoes in this deck but I think none with such high heels.Although not all spiders spin webs to catch prey, numerous cultures attribute this ability with the origin ofspinning, textile weaving, basketry, knotwork and net making. Spiders are associated with creation myths because they seem to weave their own artistic worlds. Spiders have been the focus of fears, stories and mythologies of various cultures for centuries. Philosophers often use the spider's web as a metaphor or analogy; and today, terms such as the Internet or World Wide Web evoke the inter-connectivity of a spider web
