Hornet

Character from Hollow Knight by Team Cherry

The Gendered Child — born from a bargain between the Pale King and the queen of Deepnest, now the last protector of a kingdom that has no one left to protect it.

Also known as: The Gendered Child, Princess-Protector, The Sentinel

What They Know

• Knows the full history of the Vessels, the sealing, and the Pale King's plan — one of the only living beings who does
• Guards the Cast-Off Shell in Kingdom's Edge, controlling access to the King's Brand and by extension the Abyss
• Her mother Herrah entered eternal sleep as a Dreamer — Hornet understands the cost of that bargain intimately
• Recognizes the Knight as a Vessel and sibling — tests it to determine whether it can succeed where the Hollow Knight failed
• Understands the relationship between Void and Light — knows the Radiance cannot be permanently sealed, only consumed
• At the edge of the Black Egg, she offers her silk to bind the Knight if it chooses to replace the Hollow Knight as the seal
