I was trying to look at different hairstyles I could put Hornets hair in, since I really wanted to make it both represent her horns for when she's not just wearing her mask AND I also wanted to make them a little more practical, since she's running around and fighting shit. And then I found these rlly pretty cornrows hairstyle and knew it'd be PERFECT

And I also gave her poliosis, which is a condition that causes white patches or streaks to form in hair. I liked the way it looked so I didn't just have to give her pure white hair.

I also had a little trouble trying to get her body correct, since she's described as tiny and underweight by multiple characters, but she still is incredibly active. (Ofc ik it's mostly video game logic since it wouldn't be that fun if you had to stop running every few seconds for Hornet to catch her breath). But I think I like how she came out ! If I had enough energy 2 draw post game Hornet too (I may just doodle some later) I imagine she'd put on some weight finally. I also wanted to make her look clearly tired, so she has bags under her eyes, and a constant worried look on her face. Feel like she genuinely doesn't realize how she looks since she wore her mask so often.

For her Needle / Needolin, I wanted to base them off of a sword and string instrument from Africa (I'll get into it later but I'd imagine human hornet would be mixed race and ofc he closer to her mother's side). I found this one (specifically the Kundi) which fit for her Needolin perfectly (tho I was specifically inspired by looking up Cameroon harps). Her Needle/Sword is meant to be based off of a Cameroon Sword I found- but honestly I was looking for AGES and could only find a handful of images for the sword I was inspired by and no real info on what it was named, if anything X( it's specifically the sword in the far right, I originally found it through this Facebook post, if anyone is a bit more knowledgeable on this type of stuff
