However, for other parts of the fanbase, many people just consider it common knowledge that Hornet is into women. Gamer bros consider this pairing implausible for some reason even though Lace literally calls Hornet "delicious" prior to fighting her. This is the music that plays when you fight her.Īs previously mentioned, the most popular pairing for Hornet is between her and Lace. Eventually she directly helps the player in the second-to-final boss. She explains herself that she's just testing the player to see if they're strong enough to get through the dangers of what lies ahead. You fight her as a boss two times throughout the game, but after that she becomes a supporting character. She's a very skilled combatant, and is also technically a demigod because one of her parents was a Higher Being (analogous to gods in this setting). Though a lot of people draw her as having a body like a human woman anyway, because she deserves it. In fact, due to the game's complex lore and fancy wording, a lot of casual players won't piece together her origins at all.īug. Though she appears quite a few times throughout the game before and after her boss fights, her origins are shrouded in mystery until very late game. Unsurprisingly, people immediately latched onto this, and Lacenet became a popular ship (mostly with queer fans). As Silksong is not released yet, not much is known about their dynamic however, in the interaction we have seen, they definitely give off an enemies-to-lovers vibe. Hornet is often shipped with Lace, a character from Hollow Knight: Silksong. She's a powerful opponent against the player both times you fight her, and she makes it clear in no uncertain terms that she won't hesitate to kill the player if they aren't strong enough. Hollow Knight just sort of has that gothic-esque style as a general rule. Understandably, there's a lot of angst created from this whole situation, because it's sad as hell and Hornet needs a therapist so bad. If things have been done in a certain order, Hornet shows up at Herrah's resting place to mourn, where she expresses her guilt for simply allowing her mother's death (despite believing it was a necessary sacrifice). The player has to kill Herrah in order to break the seal and complete the game. Still, even though the two had little time together, it's clear that they both loved each other - there's a point where you can read Herrah's mind, and every one of her thoughts is about how much she loves her daughter and how this was a worthy sacrifice.
Hornet didn't get to spend much time with her mother, as Herrah entered her eternal sleep when Hornet was still a young child. Hornet was the child who resulted from this arrangement. Herrah was not satisfied with the king's offer, and made a deal with him: in return for her becoming a seal, the king had to have a child with her. One of the bugs chosen for this was Herrah the Beast. He also enlisted the help of three bugs who would act as additional, living seals - these three bugs would be sent to sleep forever, and as long as they were alive, the seal would remain intact. To summarize the basics: in an attempt to bring an end to the infection ravaging his kingdom, the king of Hallownest created a vessel to seal the infection in. Oh boy is there a lot to say here, and it's hard to explain without ending up retelling the entire story of the game. In Silksong we may see her wield other weapons or clothing, but again that game isn't out yet.įor more information, see her article on the Hollow Knight wiki. Her weapon of choice is a needle made especially for her. She actually has more legs which can only be seen when she skitters in Silksong, but this usually isn't shown. She has two pale long horns, (haha horn-et I am so smart my parents never loved me as a child) and wears a muted cloak. She's also the half-sister of the player character as well as the Hollow Knight (no, you do not play as the Hollow Knight in Hollow Knight, that's a different character). This is significantly relevant to her as a character. Despite the fact that her name is Hornet in a game where everyone is a bug, she's actually a spider. Hornet is a very important character to the plot of Hollow Knight, and is also the first boss considered to be a serious heightening in difficulty throughout the progression of the game.
