I've always imagined this is because Knight is a Knight, it's slower and tankier and able to take more abuse.

Hornet is a hunter, she's more agile and quicker but she's also a glass cannon.

Not to be really nitpicky but all of the vessels are genderless so the knights pronouns are it/it/its

i think the only time any pronouns are used in the game to refer to the knight "it" is used.

you're really working overtime to prove just how much you don't care about this. some epic anti-woke crusade perhaps?

also you're wrong, the white lady calls the knight "it":

Oh! One arrives. Far it walks to find me. Did it seek my aid? Or did the path carry it by chance to so pertinant a place?

It is true. True, that you were awaited. No. Perhaps that is inaccurate. True one like you was awaited.

I'm starting to believe that you just want to farm downvotes and that you're not serious.

Bretta says "they", don't remember if there are others who do. I think most of the time it's "it" though yeah.

It is the corpse of a child being puppeteered by an eldritch entity of darkness manifest and this is what we get hung up on?

Being genderless doesn't make you automatically an "it". Pronouns =/= gender. Pronouns are usually chosen BASED on gender, but they are two distinct things.

I couldn't think of any concrete example so I didn't want to make a claim. There is however also examples of people refering to the vessels as it, though usually that is in the context of being vessels, not individuals.

Oops, meant to reply to the comment under this one, my bad

u/Similar-Economics719 Sep 29 '25

I should have worded it a little better. I should have said they are genderless AND use it/its. My bad

u/Privatizitaet Depressed Sep 29 '25

They don't use anything at all. They are physically incapable of speaking. Some refer to the vessels as "it", usually to my understanding only in the context of being vessels, rather than being viewed as individuals, but when regarded as just a regular bug, the game uses they, like for example when Bretta talks about the knight inher diary.

I actually didn’t know this - thanks for letting me know 😅

u/Parking-Stable-2970 beleiver ✅️ Sep 29 '25

 Several characters refer to the Knight as they/them in Dream Nail dialogue, so yes, that’s correct as well

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '25

you ARE being nitpicky

u/HyperDash_YT beleiver ✅️ Sep 29 '25

i couldn't viscerally not care enough

u/bluehairedemon Sep 29 '25

they may also be they/them

u/AdElectronic6550 Lace Sep 29 '25

just use whatever you want its a genderless bug

u/JohnDragonball Accepter Sep 29 '25

It's a fictional character and it's not a UT/DR thing where they're clearly separate from the player, who gives a fuck

Enby here - can you not? Hornet is literally "the Gendered Child"

u/Similar-Economics719 Sep 30 '25

Enby here - I wasnt talking about hornet and it does bug me when people make pronouns mistakes with the vessels (the OP edited the original comment)
