Exploring a bit more of weaver queen ending Hornet. I know that logically she wouldn’t grow to be taller than the Hollow knight but please let me indulge lol
Moral ambiguity with this one… I feel like the more dominant higher beings care more for their domain rather than the bugs that live within it, their subservients. Of course, they need the common bugs to reign over, but what they make with it truly matters more to them.
Due to the combination of her father’s godly blood and GMS binded to her, she has the perspective and will of a higher being. She is Hornet no longer, at least not in mind and spirit. Upon binding Silk, she laid waste to the entirety of Pharloom. Now, she seeks to raise it from the ground up to be stronger, grander than it ever was in the image of Deepnest: her home.
I tried to capture both GMS and Herrah in her design. Her limbs are retractable and are hidden in her torso like the ribs. She gained six eyes by binding Silk, but she associates them with Herrah more. As her cloak got torn to shreds, she wove its silk into her hair, keeping deepnest weaver culture with her.
She basically inherited GMS loneliness and is now rethinking how she viewed her own kidnapping. She wouldn’t go as far as to recreate those efforts, though. Probably would send a few letters to her weaver kin :) Would they show up? Prolly not
