EDEN (HK!Aedyn)

Loosely based on a Baphomet moth.

Lives in relative solitude, moreso now with the Infection. He'd probably be a wandering NPC relegated to 3 or 4 locations.

Since the disappearance of the Pale King, he's forgone worshiping any gods and has a very, very cynical view of the divine. One god turned his back his subjects, and the other brought forth a horrific plague.

Considering an alt direction to take him in where he's a follower/member of the Grimm Troupe? Would definitely suit, since they share motifs of dreams/nightmares, demonic presences, and fire. Also considered a making him a Warrior Dream, but I'm worried he'd just be too similar to Markoth.

AGATE (HK!Agatha)

Not really based on any one bug atm. I kinda just based her on pre-existing NPCs like Quirrel and Millibelle.

Raised in the poorer part of the City of Tears.

Locked away in her room by her parents, who were convinced that she had been infected after she offhandedly mentioned a nightmare she'd had (which likely had more to do with the ongoing turmoil in the city than anything else). By the time she finally managed to escape, her parents had already become infected themselves and eventually died.

DENDRA (HK!Deja)

Based on a blue banded bee. Hails from a hive beyond Hallownest.

A traveling historian whose set her sights on exploring and researching the dying kingdom of Hallownest. You'd find her traveling around various locations like Cornifer.

Picked a bee since Deja's core character has a few little traits and tidbits loosely based on my mom, who herself really likes bees :]

HK!Malachai

Hails from the Mantis tribe, though due in part to his erratic behavior and... fringe beliefs, he's rarely seen in the village itself. More often, he's seen stalking the border near Deepnest.

With the disappearance of the Pale King, Malachai turned his faith towards a new god in hopes of surviving the infection, that of course being The Radiance. His reasoning is that if The Radiance recognizes his devotion, then he will surely be spared! Right..?

Wears a cloak stitched together from the wings of fallen members of the Moth Tribe. Is it some sort of disguise? Some sick attempt to bring himself closer to The Radiance? Who can say.
