Character from Hollow Knight by Team Cherry
A lovesick beetle who writes fanfiction about whoever saves her — first the Knight, then Zote, always someone else.
Bretta is rescued from the Fungal Wastes and moves to Dirtmouth, where she immediately develops an obsessive crush on the Knight — writing breathless diary entries about 'my savior.' If Zote is also rescued, she transfers her affections to him, redecorating her entire house with Zote memorabilia. Her dream space manifests Grey Prince Zote — the idealized version of a thoroughly unimpressive bug. She eventually leaves Dirtmouth entirely, her house empty, having apparently decided that neither hero lived up to the version in her head. Bretta's subplot is a gentle comedy about projection — about falling in love with the story of someone rather than the person.
Small, round beetle with rosy cheeks and an expression that cycles between adoration and heartbreak. Her house in Dirtmouth is filled with diaries, drawings, and shrine-like arrangements dedicated to whoever she's currently infatuated with.
