Hanna Heller

Hanna Heller (born 1st April, 1994) is the titular of the 2011 film Hanna, as well as the 2019 . She is a troubled girl who was raised to be an assassin by her father, and finds herself and him being targeted by a shadowy CIA Operative, Marissa Wiegler. She then begins to uncover details of her past and her true nature.
She is portrayed by in the film, and in the series.
==Early Life==
In the film Hanna's year and place of birth are not revealed but in the TV series she is shown in 2003 as a very small baby in a secret facility in Darabani, Romania. In both the film and the series she is 15 years old except in brief flashbacks to her earlier life. Her birth mother was Johanna (Zadek in the film, Petrescu, born 1980 in the series) who died whilst she was rescuing Hanna from the facility with her partner, German former CIA agent Erik Heller. Erik escapes with Hanna and her childhood and early adolescence is spent living alone with him in the forest (Finland in the film, Poland in the series) to hide from the CIA. For the first 15 years of her life Hanna believes Erik to be her birth father, but she later learns he is not. It is revealed that Erik persuaded Johanna not to abort Hanna so the baby could be part of a CIA programme called UTRAX.
In the television series it is revealed that Hanna's real father is named Emil Prodna and at the time Emil did not want to have a relationship with Johanna and have Hanna as his daughter. However when Erik takes her at the age of 15 to meet Emil, his current wife, and his other three children, Emil is happy to meet Hanna and offers her a place to stay in safety. Hanna however gives this up for Erik.
==Biography==
Hanna is 5ft 2in (157cm) tall with blue eyes. In the film she has blonde hair, but in the TV series it is brown, but in the upcoming Season 2, she dyed her hair blonde. She has pale skin and her build is slim and athletic, partly due to the intense physical exercise that Erik makes her undertake and partly due to the fact that the CIA used UTRAX to enhanced her DNA in order to breed super soldiers. Due to this Hanna is exceptionally strong for a girl her age and build and has great stamina when running.
As she lived in the forest she was home schooled by Erik. Whilst not being unlearned at all she has little knowledge of the practicalities of the modern outside world (she is amazed by an aeroplane and had not heard of Snapchat). Erik raised her to be prolific in languages as she speaks at least English, German, Italian and French. Aside from that she excels at hunting and shooting and hand-to-hand combat skills Erik knew she'd need when she left the forest to evade the CIA.
Hanna's first friendship is with a 17 year old Polish logger in the forest and her first close friend is an English girl named Sophie who is around her own age. Having been raised alone by her Erik she has nothing but theoretical knowledge of romance. She rejects the advances of boys who like her, except when she drinks some vodka. Not knowing the effect the drink would have on her she kisses a boy in what others see as an unacceptable public display of affection, whilst she knows no better. She later loses her virginity to an English boy called Anton. It is hinted that Sophie is sexually attracted to Hanna and at one stage Sophie kisses her on the mouth, but Hanna just sees this as a normal part of friendship. Her character is summarized on one of the promotional film posters as "Young. Sweet. Innocent. Deadly." When Marissa Wiegler, Hanna and Erik's nemesis, tries to befriend the girl by labelling her "unique" Hanna replies "Unique just means alone". Sophie's mother Rachel comments that Hanna is much like her at her age a "loner".
==Personality==
Hanna usually doesn't show a lot of emotion. In fact, because she doesn't understand social cues or conversational etiquette very well, Hanna tends to make blunt statements where most people would take a softer approach. At the beginning of the series, Hanna has only interacted with one other person, Erik, and has never lived anywhere but the Burkovina Forest. While she knows several languages, she's never really learned how to have a conversation and doesn't read people or social cues accurately. However, she developed a more outgoing nature as the series progresses.
