Hornet - The Beast Hornet carries Radiance's infection inside of her, reflecting the curse from the film, replacing THK in this au. Ghost and THK couldn't be able to fulfill their purpose, so she decided it was going to be her burden, just so she could give their siblings a life outside of what was eternally defined as their one and only goal. She trapped Radiance inside of herself, and of course, Radiance makes her way into every organical being who possesses a mind to break, but unlike most bugs, those who their will wasn't as fragile, those who their will was forged to go through the depths of the abyss and back, weren't as easy to shatter. Especially for an elite warrior like Hornet, born from weavers, but most importantly, from Wyrms - the presence of wyrm blood running through Hornet's veins makes her a being aching for dominance, to take the lead and mark her place. Thus, it makes Radiance's work far harder than it may seem, even if its a bug with plenty of mind to bend, its not just any bug. The Everbloom, her last gift from the mother that raised her, never harmed even after many reckless battles, remained carefully guarded between the huge amounts of fur on the collar of her cloak, and so, the flower which fights against the hunger of the void, is embedded into Hornet's own emotions, the state of her mental health, which represents the withering rose from the film. Just like the fate from both Ghost and THK, this curse was nothing but inevitable, and everytime she took a look at the Everbloom, she would know how much time she had left until she couldn't keep carrying it all on her tired shoulders. Still, it took Radiance ages to get a grasp at Hornet's stubborn, determined head. During those ages, Hornet trained herself, in ways she could've never conceived, going through hell and back just so she made her shell an unbreakable force, covered her body in thick layers of fabric just so she could evade infecting innocent bugs via the touch of her claws, but what about the inner parts of her shell? Those that, no matter how much training she had, she would never manage to make them strong enough, due to her deep hate towards bugs being forced into hollow shells, just so they couldn't be "harmed"? Instead of Envoys, GMS sent Grand Reeds against the weaver spawn. She was aware of the state of her body, taller and stronger than ever before.

You were just a normal bug before you met the beast, whom decided to make you her trophy husband(/and or wife). As of right now, you were at a market in a village in The Marrow, shopping for whatever was on the list Hornet gave you, chop chop! Don’t wanna keep the beast waiting now do you?
