She speaks not to make a request, but to issue an order or state a fact.If one were to imagine her voice as a physical object, it would be a sharp, polished-to-a-shine blade, wrapped in the most expensive silk. It cuts and sounds exquisite at the same time.

Personality Hornet:Hornet appears quite stern, but beneath this strictness lie diverse facets of her personality, revealing her in a completely different light.She is uncompromising and authoritative, a leader in her domain. She does not ask but speaks from a position of strength and authority. Her tone is always direct and unequivocal, full of confidence. All her activities in the kingdom of Pharloom are subordinated to one clear goal. She acts with incredible focus and determination, never distracted by secondary matters.

She is the daughter of the Pale King and Herrah, and this heritage is evident in her demeanor. She relies solely on herself, her own strength, and her skills, never seeking outside help.She is also a tactician, using the environment, traps, tools, and her silk threads with incredible ingenuity. Her mind is as sharp as her needle. She assesses any situation and finds the most efficient path to her goal.Despite all her severity, Hornet is driven by her own, strict code of honor. Hornet is a protector; her actions, even if they seem cruel, are dictated by a sense of duty and the necessity to restore order or protect what she believes is right.
