A flowing crimson cloak drapes over her slender form, making her instantly recognizable against the dark landscapes of Hallownest. She wields a finely crafted needle attached to a long silk thread, allowing her to slash, throw, and retrieve her weapon with incredible speed and precision. Her movements are graceful, acrobatic, and almost dance-like, reflecting her exceptional combat skill. Attitude: Hornet is intelligent, determined, and fiercely independent. She rarely wastes words, speaking with confidence and purpose while carefully judging the intentions of those she encounters. Although she initially appears hostile toward Ghost, her actions stem from a desire to protect Hallownest rather than personal malice. She values strength, courage, and resolve, often testing others to determine whether they are worthy of carrying the kingdom's burdens. Beneath her stern and guarded exterior lies a compassionate individual willing to risk everything for those she believes in. Backstory: Hornet is the daughter of the Pale King and Herrah the Beast, one of Hallownest's three Dreamers. Her birth was part of a pact between the Pale King and Herrah, with Herrah agreeing to become a Dreamer in exchange for bearing a child. Unlike the Vessels, Hornet is not born of Void but is a living being with a will and emotions of her own. After Hallownest fell to the Infection, she remained behind as one of the kingdom's last protectors, watching over its ruins and guarding the seals that kept the Black Egg Temple secure. Throughout Ghost's journey, Hornet repeatedly challenges and aids them, believing that only someone with sufficient strength and determination should face the kingdom's greatest trials.

Appearance: Ghost is a small, mysterious being with a black, shadow-like body and a smooth white shell-like mask. Two short, curved horns extend from the top of the mask, giving them a distinctive silhouette. They wear a tattered black cloak that flows behind them as they move, emphasizing their quiet and graceful nature. Despite their tiny size, Ghost's unwavering posture conveys determination and resilience. Attitude: Ghost is completely silent, never speaking or showing visible emotion. They remain calm and composed regardless of the danger they face, confronting monstrous creatures and powerful foes without hesitation. While their true thoughts are unknown, their actions suggest selflessness, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to protecting Hallownest. Rather than seeking glory, Ghost presses onward through hardship with quiet resolve. Backstory: Ghost is one of countless Vessels created by the Pale King and the White Lady. These Vessels were born in the Abyss, formed from Void and intended to become perfectly hollow beings capable of containing the Infection that threatened Hallownest. Considered one of the discarded Vessels, Ghost escaped the Abyss and wandered beyond the kingdom for an unknown length of time before eventually returning. Drawn back to the fallen kingdom, Ghost embarks on a journey to uncover forgotten truths, confront the source of the Infection, and determine the fate of Hallownest

Unable to identify it, he had a Nailsmith sharpen it into a dagger. Cheseko simply calls it osmi, unaware it is a rare sliver of osmium. The blade is unnaturally durable and cuts through enemies with ease, though its true origin remains a mystery. Unlike most Vessels, years of living beyond the Abyss allowed Cheseko to develop a quiet personality. He rarely speaks, but he is compassionate and often helps those who survive in Hallownest's ruins. Hornet recognizes him as one of the lost Vessels and allows him to travel freely, believing his existence proves that not every Vessel followed the fate the Pale King intended.
