I really don't think Hornet is a Vessel.

Look first at her dialogue in the Abyss: "Though our strength is born of similar source, that part of you, that crucial emptiness, I do not share." The similar source here is of course the Pale King, who sired Hornet with Herrah, but "that crucial emptiness" seems to refer to the Void itself. Seeing as Hornet lacks that crucial emptiness, I really think what she's telling you here is that she is NOT a vessel like you, and has nothing to do with the Void.

Another evidence can be seen when she talks to you outside of Black Egg Temple, once you have the Void Heart. "That space is built to sustain your likes. Its bindings would drain me were I to join." If Hornet were also a Vessel, then the Temple certainly wouldn't have adverse effects on her, just as it doesn't seem to negatively affect the Hollow Knight or player character.
