Only the White Lady, you say? I'm pretty sure the Midwife refered to her as the Gendered Child as well. THE MIDWIFE. Whether they're referring to gender or just biological sex, it's a pretty good indicator that she isn't made of Void (or at the very least isn't a truly hollow vessel).

Also, guess who else has a "shell"/mask with horns and a pitch black body? Zote, Elderbug and sometimes the Mask Maker. Does that immediately they made of Void too, then?

Finally, as GodTamer&Beast said among other things, Herrah is Hornet's biological mother. She was born from a sexual relationship between her and the Pale King, as a condition for becoming a Dreamer. The Pale King already had the Hollow Knight and I doubt Herrah would want her child to die prematurely and become a Void ghost, so why would they go out of their way to toss Herrah's egg into the Void before it hatched? Because that's how the other Vessels were born. And it probably didn't fall accidentally or anything, because the Abyss is pretty far away from the Distant Village and I highly doubt the Pale King would have taken Hornet, his "gift" to Herrah, away from her and raised her in the White Palace.
