White Lady

The White Lady is the former Queen of Hallownest. After the White Palace collapsed, she, along with Drya retreated to her gardens, where she can be found by the Hollow Knight.



Trivia
"1. The corpse of the white knight's corpse outside her hiding place is mentioned in a Kickstarter update: 'One of Hallownest's five greatest Knights and defender of the Queen's Glade. She was driven mad by her Queen lost and the garden overrun. Still she retains her honour, offering fair challenge to the Hollow Knight. Nail against nail. A duel to the death.'""Some of the above did not make it into the game, but it is clear that the Knight in question defended the Queen, who later died. In the game, she is dead and the White Lady's dialogue makes it obvious that she is not aware of this:""'I'm sure you saw Drya on the way in? She's stood guard over me for so long. Despite her hard front, she's always been a caring type. I'm sure she'll much enjoy a Knights' reunion.'""2. The White Lady's dialogue mentions a 'dalliance' of the Wyrm/King, which, since it 'birthed a creature', probably refers to an extramarital affair. Her saying that she did not begrudge the Wyrm for this possibly implies that she is his Queen.""3. In the game files, the White Lady is referred to as just 'Queen'."
