Hornet
''I know what you are. I know what you'd try to do. I can't allow it.''

Hornet is the princess-protector of Hallownest, raised by the weavers, and daughter of Herrah the Beast, queen of Deepnest, and The Pale King.

She is first met in Greenpath, where she has to be chased until at the end of this area, she will then challenge the Knight to fight.

"I've seen you, creeping through the undergrowth, stalking me."

"This old kingdom... A terrible thing awakens. I can smell it in the air..."

"I know what you are. I know what you'd try to do. I can't allow it..."

She can be found next in City of Tears in front of the Memorial to the Hollow Knight. She recognizes the Knight's value and admits she underestimated them. Then she hints at where to find her next to continue her quest.

"It's no surprise then you've managed to reach the heart of this world. In so doing, you shall know the sacrifice that keeps it standing."

"If, knowing that truth, you'd still attempt a role in Hallownest's perpetuation, seek the Grave in Ash and the mark it would grant to one like you."

Next, she is found in the very eastern part of Kingdom's Edge, above Oro's hut. She then challenges The Knight to another fight warning them that she wouldn't hesitate.

"But could you raise your nail once knowing its tragic conception? And knowing yourself?..."

"Then do it, Ghost of Hallownest! Head onward. Burn that mark upon your shell and claim yourself as King."
