Hornet

About


Hornet is a Dark Lord born from a pregnancy between Demon King Gi and a human woman. She is the current Supreme Dark Lord, the second highest position in the Dark Lord hierarchy, and leader of the Hornet Faction. Their sole objective is to make Gi's last will a reality by turning Kurusu Miki into the next Demon King and establish peaceful coexistance with humanity.

They completely oppose the Kayblis Faction, who wish to kill Kurusu Miki and turn Kayblis into the next Demon King, but instead of fighting them, Hornet is mostly focused in Miki's protection and is doing her best to convince her to take the role of the Demon King so they can live in peace. While she really wants her to become the Demon King like her father wished, she doesn't want to force her against her will, a thought that has caused polemic between the members of the faction, but all choose to respect Hornet's decision nonetheless.

Personality and Appearance
With long green hair, and golden eyes, she dresses in a regal fashion, sporting a large purple cloak. Her cloak is the only thing she actually wears, she's completely naked beneath it. Her design has seen multiple changes along the years.

A wise and powerful Dark Lord, she has inherited the will of Gi, and seeks a peaceful coexistence with humanity. She's smart, resourceful and a charismatic leader. Her talent and natural skill as a leader was recognised in a short time since most of the Dark Lords were already fond of the idea of her becoming the Demon King. Of all Dark Lords she's probably the most gentle and amiable. She talks in a very formal and respectful manner towards almost everyone and is not one to easily get mad. She is confused about why her father changed his mind about his successor, but had no anger towards him for it.

She's a good friend with Dark Lord Silky of her faction and seems to show great concern for her. She's also childhood friends with Dark Lord Satella.

She has an apostle called Kenja Keiko. She's loyal and has a strong admiration for Hornet. It's for that reason that she can't accept some nobody from another world becoming Demon King instead of Hornet.

She takes action directly, but secretly because she doesn't want to cause trouble to Hornet. She's secretly plotting to kill Miki herself but would never do anything that would not benefit Hornet or her faction.

Abilities
She has an advanced understanding of magic, boasting level 2 skills in Magic, Holy Magic and swordplay, and is a powerful spellblader like her father was. She is usually surrounded by elemental orbs, each one a different color, these give her quick access to magical abilities of each element. Even with magic alone she's capable of fighting to a draw with Dark Lord RedEye in a magic showdown, despite being only a Lv2 magician herself. This speaks about how powerful her magic is, with only a Lv2 skill. Unlike RedEye however, she seems to be very prudent at the time of use her power to avoid collateral damage.

Her current level was 210 in the old setting, making her the second strongest Dark Lord after Kayblis. Her level cap was 320, which is the highest (excluding the Demon King ) among Dark Lords and also one of the highest in the history of the continent, giving her an absurdly high potential for growth.

Personal History
Despite how much he searched, Gi was unable to find a reasonable heir so he decided to give birth to one himself. After going on an intense sex spree with many different humans, many children were born. In the year GI0850 Hornet is born and Gi chose her as his heir.

He raised her in the Demon King castle with all she could ever need. At some point he brought a human Satella to be her playmate and they became friends. When Hornet was 10 years old, Gi decided to turn her and Satella into Dark Lords. She then recieves special education and training for her future role. He made sure to teach her everthing there is to know to be a Demon King. Other Dark Lords like Kayblis have claimed that she was pampered by Gi, which might not be completely false.

Several years after, Hornet is very powerful and trusted by other Dark Lords. Most accept her as Gi 's successor.

However in the year GI1015 Gi kidnapped Miki Kurusu from another dimention and turned her into Demon King. The reason for this is unknown but it is possible that he might have gone crazy due to his split personality. Gi passed away soon after and left a last will for her:

"With Miki Kurusu as the next Demon King, rule the Monster Realm and maintain peaceful coexistance with humanity".

Hornet decided to follow her father's last wish, and was willing to do so. However, there were Dark Lords who opposed her decision. With Kayblis as their leader, they formed another faction, the Kayblis faction, dedicated to the murder of Miki, and Hornet creates her own faction dedicated to protecting Miki. Thus, the Dark Lords and the Monster Realm were split down the middle.
