⭐ Hey now, you're an all star 👁️

Can we just acknowledge the fact that we spent 3/4 of chapter 4 trying to kill him for his Omni Hand only to lose it like 10 minutes later and that there's a 50% chance that he watched it all happen.

I do think the funniest Hornet character trait that silksong kept consistent from Hollow Knight is that Hornet is really really bad at remembering to introduce herself to new people. She never actually tells the Knight her name in the game. She just forgot.

In keeping with this theme, Hornet completely forgets to introduce herself to a number of people even after growing close to them. This includes, Shakra (who has to learn Hornet's name from OTHER PEOPLE), Nuu, Pinstress, Sherma, Seamstress, the caretaker, Second Sentinel, Lace (in fairness, Lace also never tells Hornet her name), Plinney, Forge Daughter, Twelfth Architect, and both Garmond and Zaza!! Like 90% of the characters Hornet has a substantial relationship with either do not know her name, or in Shakra's case literally only know it because they learned it from someone else.

The Caretaker helps Hornet kill a god. She still did not remember to share her name with him. Nuu is running around after Hornet looking at bodies the entire game, and calling her Miss Grown Up. Hornet openly declares Second Sentinel her friend, to them, despite having not even remembered to introduce herself on their first meeting.

Literally every instance I can find of Hornet telling someone her name, is when she's specifically prompted to do so. Seth tells his name on their first meeting and Hornet's like "oh neat" and then Does Not Introduce Herself until their second meeting when Seth is like "uh by the way what's your name?".

Hornet tells Kratt "I am Hornet, sir. Address me by that name or not at all." Which is such a funny line and so specifically targeted at him because Hornet has 20+ different nicknames and she responds to literally all of them without any problem. Shakra starts calling her "Child Wielding Needle" and for literally the entire game Hornet's like "yeah I'll answer to that".

HORNET LITERALLY TELLS STYX "Do not call me mistress" AND THEN DOES NOT TELL HIM HER NAME. IT'S REALLY REALLY FUNNY OF HER. STYX NEVER LEARNS HER NAME EITHER. My girl is so bad at introductions, post-game she is gonna have to reintroduce herself like 20 times, and I hope Lace is there to make fun of her each and every time.
