a type of cockblocker
(noun, verb: White Knight. adjective: White Knightey.)
a male acquaintance of a woman who, usually motivated by jealousy, attempts to cockblock the woman by defending her (implicitly, her chastity) from another man.
Though the White Knight typically attempts to persuade the other man that the woman is "not interested," the White Knight usually is motivated to act in the first place only because he senses that the woman is attracted to the other man.
Amongst cockblockers, the White Knight is a relatively impotent type, because (i) the woman usually knows intuitively that the White Knight wants her and is motivated by his jealously, and (ii) White Knights almost always have low to moderate social skills/influence (which is why they are White Knights, because they do not get laid themselves), so the woman also knows that the White Knight's irritation is not likely to have negative social consequences for her. However, the White Knight's attempts are sometimes successful, often only because he unwittingly embodies the woman's fear of Slut Shaming (being judged), a very potent cockblocking force.
Typically, a man who behaves as a White Knight is in a pathetic state of mind. He feels for some reason that he cannot get laid, so reduces himself to trolling other men, especially men who happen to be hitting it off with women whom the White Knight has a history of fantasizing for.

Brian became a shining White Knight as soon as that guy from the rock band came over - he guarded Emily for more than an hour until she left.

Got some girls being butt-hurt? Got some white teenaged males with nothing to do?
Introducing white knighting! A perfectly respectable act of suddenly becoming chivalric and nice by the mere presence of e-boob.

Standing up for someone or some thing, not in order to defend or help, but to make yourself look good.

The Hollow Knight is one of the final bosses in the Teach cherry game "Hollow Knight". He appears as a tall, skinny creature with a large, cracked, white mask.
The Hollow Knight is the son of the Pale King, and has been sacrificed to hold the moth god Radiance inside his head. He was created to be empty and leave nothing for the Radiance to corrupt, but it turns out that the love the Pale King showed him as a child turned into something that could be corrupted. He is now a vessel of spreading the Infection throughout Hallownest.

Memorial to the Hollow Knight
In the black vault far above.
Through his sacrifice Hallownest lasts eternal.

An absolutely show stoppingly gorgeous person, Abbie is very loveable and finds herself in lots of up and down relationships, although she might want to be single at the moment. She isn't socially awkward, she makes others socially awkward. She is confident and an extrovert, don't be supprised if abbie embarresses you!
Man 1: should I date Abbie Knight?
Man 2 : NO WAY! SHE IS SO EMBARRASSING!
Man 1: But she is pretty gorgeous...
Man 2: Yeah, I guess so.
