If the story of Hollow Knight: Silksong is going in a similar direction to that of its predecessor, then players should expect a dire and sorrowful end for those involved. It may even be likely that the sequel could end up being more tragic, partly due to Hornet, the main protagonist and a memorable character with an important role in the previous game. The information known about Hornet before Silksong is that she is the princess-protector of Hallownest who will persistently do everything possible to save her kingdom. Other than her combat abilities and stubbornness, she is known for one other quality that could play a big role in making the sequel's plot cut deeper.
