“I did not expect any of this.”

Friendly, sociable, and passionate, Hannah is a natural leader. She has a take-charge attitude and works diligently, and enjoys both solving problems and helping others out. Most of the time, she presents a happy face, and she genuinely is an optimistic person on balance. However, she has a short fuse, and her anger tends to be hard to notice until it bursts out. That only makes her anger seem more explosive than it already is, and through her outbursts Hannah has strained relationships and wrecked projects. Hannah is deeply passionate about her areas of interest, investing in her projects to the extent of neglecting her well-being. During her years with her abusive biological parents, her passions were her only escape, and she still uses them to hide from her trauma. She can talk for hours about her favorite subjects, bursting with enthusiasm as she does. Though her cheerful attitude draws people in, Hannah has trouble with deep, intimate relationships, pushing them aside in favor of more distant acquaintances. She has trouble keeping the close friends she does make, as she tends to neglect her friendships, to the point of appearing to ghost people. She finds romantic relationships even more terrifying, and prefers to date people she’s already friends with. Her years of abuse have made her fear getting close to others to avoid being hurt further. Hannah’s main interest is astronomy, specifically astrochemistry. Though her formal education has focused on the astronomical aspect of her interest, she collects elements and periodic tables as a hobby, and her room is littered with chemistry books and samples. Through chemistry she has become interested in biology and biochemistry. Combining that with her astronomy passion, she's become interested in astrobiology, and the chemistry required to sustain life beyond Earth. When not deep in her research, she likes swimming, stargazing, and gardening. Hannah has cut out her biological parents from her memory: for her the only family she has ever had is her adopted family. Among her moms she is closer to Primina than Electra thanks to Primina’s sunny disposition. Primina helps Hannah find joy in life, while Electra helps ground Hannah and helps her focus on her needs. She’s been close to her uncle Newton ever since the two met, though her sisters have always been closer to him. She tries to spend time with her sisters, but too often finds herself overbooked. She remains in touch with her high school friends Cecilia, Nettie, and Octavia, the members of the original LOEL. Another of her closest friends is her college roommate Helga. Those five became Hannah’s invites to the new LOEL.

Hannah’s biological parents are Eva and Paul Hindenburg, two neo-Nazis who raised their daughter with the intent of spreading their ideology. Most of Hannah’s memories of her time with them are fuzzy, as she has worked to push her biological parents and their abuse out of her mind. They were strict with who Hannah could hang out with, and would gaslight her to make sure she didn’t question their ideology. When Hannah was ten, she was taken from her biological parents after a neighbor caught her trying to run away from home. She was taken into foster care and adopted soon after by Primina Quintero and Electra Li. Primina and Electra would, in the following years, adopt two more children, Destiny and Trinity. Hannah’s new moms worked to undo Hannah’s upbringing by exposing her to diverse families, different cultures including their own, and by treating her with kindness. Still, Hannah remained a bitter and angry child until her teens. As part of a neighborhood expedition, eleven-year-old Hannah met Cecilia for the first time, though they rarely interacted until high school. Also at age eleven, Hannah’s parents took her on a stargazing trip to watch the Geminid meteor shower. Hannah stayed up late to watch the shooting stars, and they captivated her. She decided she wanted to be an astronomer, and promptly began researching everything she could about the universe. A passage in an astronomy book about spectroscopy launched Hannah’s interest in the periodic table and chemistry By age fifteen Hannah’s interest in science had been solidified, and she became known in her high school as the quiet, nerdy kid. Her friends started calling her “Hannah Hydrogen”, prompting her to ask her friends which elements they were. Thus, the first LOEL was born, with Hannah, Cecilia, Nettie, and Octavia as its original members. At UCLA Hannah met her roommate Helga, who shared her passion for astronomy. While Hannah continued on to pursue a more advanced degree, Helga found the college environment stressful and settled for a career at a party center to pay off her student debt. In college, Hannah and Octavia had a brief romance, but broke up because Hannah was spending all her time studying instead of spending it with Octavia. Currently, Hannah is in a program working toward a Ph.D., and is on track to become the youngest member of her program to do so due to having no life and too much study time. On a vacation her parents made her take, Hannah, embarrassed in front of her family, runs off to restart the League of Element Lovers.
