Myla

Myla is an NPC in Hollow Knight. She is a happy little miner mining for treasure near the entrance to Crystal Peak.

Lore While searching for something valuable hidden deeper within the crystals,  she enjoys singing and wants to come up with some songs of her own. Myla hears the crystals singing and whispering, hoping to find them and hear what they are saying.

Eventually, Myla becomes Infected, her cheerful song changing. The voice of the Radiance appears in her mind, commanding her to kill the Knight. In the end, the Infection overtakes her, making her become hostile. However, the song she always sang remains in her thoughts.

In-game events Myla is located in the Forgotten Crossroads. When first met, she is mining and gleefully singing, hoping that the Knight comes to visit her again later.

Once the Vengeful Spirit Spell has been acquired, her dialogue changes. After Soul Master has been defeated, she starts showing signs of being Infected.

After obtaining the Crystal Heart, Myla turns into another fully Infected Husk Miner. Using the Dream Nail on her during this state gives unique dialogue. If she is killed, she lets out a cry upon death.

Location Myla can be encountered in the northeast part of the Forgotten Crossroads, near one of the entrances to Crystal Peak.

Trivia
 * Killing Myla after she is fully Infected counts towards the Husk Miner's Journal entry.
 * When asked about whether it is possible to save Myla, Team Cherry said in a Reddit AMA that as long as Myla is not killed, there is "always the chance of a happy ending". However, their follow-up response to this was: "...right?".
 * Early stages in development showed Myla with a slightly different design and in a different room. In the Hollow Knight Kickstarter, Myla was accompanied by a male voice as well as being referred to as The Miner. In a teaser video, Myla was shown with the dialogue: "Have you come down here to have a c-crack at that vault then?".
