well, since I actually have refs for some of my Hollow Knight OCs I thought I may as well yeet them all in one project- also will add some hand drawn/improved refs later, but for now have some Picrews and music. 1-3: Lyja, Nila, and Caria respectively. These three are triplets. Lyja is very protective of their siblings, and the only one who can fight decently. Nila is somewhat timid, but quite intelligent and curious. Caria is an absolute bean, very optimistic and naive, and is deaf as well. All three are a bit taller than the Knight/Ghost. 4: (ignore the bee) Tip, (kinda former) unofficial Hive member and Ruby's twin sister. Tip was about as large as Quirrel, and she had some weird powers that seem to be related to Dream. Tip was alive around the time the Infection was beginning to become a large threat, and sacrificed her life to save Wing. 5: Ruby, former Grimm Troupe member and Tip's twin sister. She was about as large as Quirrel. Ruby wields a knife with some skill. She hates Grimm with burning passion, and was kind of on the run from the Troupe when she was alive. Ruby was alive around the time the Infection was beginning to become a large threat, and eventually became Infected. 6: Daya, a lone vessel. fear and cautiousness hide their naive, childlike personality, manage to earn their trust and they'll act a lot like an energetic little kid. Daya is missing about a third of their right arm, and is almost as large as the Knight/Ghost. 7: and here we have a young Wing. not the version I'll be using for most roleplays, but I just wanted to yeet this in because I had this old Picrew lying around so why not. 8: Spiral, if you know Casey then Casey but more feral basically. if you don't, well, feral vessel child, acts like little animal.
