Character Name; Hana "Hatchin" Morenos
Canon; Michiko e Hatchin; Wikipedia link
Canon Point; Episode 22; Run With It (pre-flight)
Age; Ten.
House; Heimdall.
Power; Power Lending.
Personality; Hana is strong. It's something to remember, something to revere in a girl so young. Her father having died in a bus explosion (supposedly) and her mother having died as well for unknown reasons, she was bought out and fostered with Pedro Yamada and his wife and children. From her youth, she was abused and mistreated, commonly treated as a servant or worse. Physical abuse ran rampant, emotional abuse more so. Even so, Hana never lost sight of who she was or how this was, in fact, wrong. Hana was not warped. She is mature in knowing that the system that she lives in is incredibly flawed. Her foster parents schmooze the officials and make it seem as if nothing is wrong--and she is powerless to stop it, as she knows that she will not be listened to and punished. Instead, she endures, because she has nowhere else to go to. She tried--when Maria held a hot iron to her face, she stood up for herself. Even as she was tried to be forced to apologize, she pointed out that she did nothing wrong in trying to protect herself, but was still hauled by the rope around her neck and thrown outside. Hana is able to snap and suddenly become very dangerous, as she runs back in and lays an impressive beatdown on Maria, telling her "this is me! Remember it!" with a final punch and freeing herself.
But Hana is mature enough, once she's far away, to realize that she has to go back.
But Hana is childish enough, once she's far away, to dream of someone saving her. ("Beyond that road, someone will come for me.")
... and, again, she's mature enough to be brutally truthful to herself. ("... that can't happen.")
When a Miss Michiko Malandro crashes through into her life, Hana has her realism shattered. There is someone who is calling her by name. This someone has come for her. And she will take the chance. She takes Michiko's offer and goes with her in a reckless mission. She knows how reckless it is, but it's bettter than her home situation and she leaps at it.
Michiko gives her idealism. Michiko states that her father must be alive--the bus explosion was twelve years ago, and she's nine, so he must've bedded someone for Hana to exist. Hana doesn't believe her all the way. Hana does not give stock in dreams or fairytales or idealism. She does not think the best out of everyone. She is almost infuriatingly realistic about the dangers of the world, what is right and what is wrong. Hana does not believe in people.
Until they give her something to believe in. Michiko did so. Michiko told Hana to believe in her--because Michiko believed in Hana. Hana, as a child that was in a powerless situation for so long, craves that belief. Hana, above all things, wants to be wanted. In a home where she was unwanted but needed for welfare money, she grew up without this. Michiko makes the mistake of handing her over to her previous caretaker and "parent", and Hana is incredibly distraught, to the point where she starts to hit her because she doesn't think she's going through with her promise to protect her. Hana needs that constant.
She can be as much a child as Michiko can be at certain times. She does crack jokes at oppertune times ("It's raining." "Can you see with [those sunglasses] on?") though most of her humor comes from her reaction to the world around her. Around friends, especially people her age, she tends to be more childish, but also quite confused. Hana is very unaware of what it means to have friends, having spent her life without them until then. Love outside of a relationship like she has with Michiko is extremely odd and serves to be examined very closely. Around friendly people her age, Hana tends to be quite different--smiling far more and being less upset and fussy about life. Then, she tends to be somewhat clumsy and prone to making mistakes, but she still tries as hard as she can at everything. Her chidlishness refers to her innate innocence at these times rather than pouting or acting like a spoiled child.
Hana's maturity, however, is far more displayed in a world full of childish adults. Michiko, as an idealist and a criminal, thinks that they definitely will find Hiroshi and doesn't really give a fuck who she has to trample over to get to him. Hana serves as a ground and a foil to Michiko, as she commonly points out holes in Michiko's plans and is the voice of reason. She gets angry at Michiko for stealing things, breaking property, and causing general mayhem all during their journey. She even claims to be "tired of this!" in an episode before Michiko and Hana part ways. Although they're reunited a few days afterward, many things have still not changed.
Hana still mothers Michiko, especially after she's sick. Michiko is still a child. But Hana's few days of bliss and happiness with a new friend, apart from Michiko, have caused her to think a little differently. She's more confident and outspoken. She promises to herself that she will protect Michiko--even if she doesn't need protection. Stubborn to nearly a fault, Hana makes sure that herself and Michiko are protected.
Throughout, she worries and protects Michiko from all she can, even as a child. Michiko does the same, in a physical way. Hana is the one caring for Michiko's well-being, for her emotional state, for her mental state. She tells Michiko to rest and gives her wake-up calls and she never falters in her stance. Once Hana has made up her mind about something, it stays that way, through thick or thin and despite what may become of it. It's shown blatently, even if she doesn't kick her feet or scream or yell. She finds other ways of doing things, civil-minded and level-headed ways of doing things. Michiko is fire and Hana is water. Hana is calm and soothing and serves to cool down the flames as well as she can. Hana can, true, be hotheaded at times, but it's rare that it comes to Michiko's level, given the older woman usually starts beating up anyone who opposes her.
Hana tries to reason and understand people. She acts as a good child therapist. When Satoshi takes her because she supposedly knows where Hiroshi is, she does not stay curled up in a ball, terrified, even if he is one of Mostro and has killed people and hurt Michiko before. She talks to him, gets to know him. Not only that, but she scolds him for not bathing and for being a general brat. Hana may be a child but she doesn't take shit and she calls people out on what they do. She shouldn't, as it's a surefire way to get killed, but she hasn't yet. Upon finding her father, she is not overjoyed--she is disappointed and angry and cannot face him. When he tries to talk to her, she refuses to ("Can... I call you Hatchin?" "Please stop." "..." "...") and one can assume after they leave and find a place to live together, that it is not all sunshine and rainbows.
After all, Hana is still a stubborn, fussy, pessimistic, far-too-mature-for-her-age child; she's capable of handling a gun and throwing rocks with accuracy, as well as being a general distraction for pretty much anything. She's dangerous. She's ten. And she will mother you to death.
