Hana Bexley

## Backstory

Hana is the third and final protagonist of A Multiverse Unraveled, she is introduced last as Mica and Elias meet here in episode 2 of the story. She is a Ring-tailed Lemur that lives within the Towering City. Living all her life there, she had so little hope of change in her early years, however, an important person in her life showed her that change could happen. They showed Hana that the tyrannical government that ruled over their world was not invulnerable and that they could make a difference. They became like a mentor for Hana, a beacon of hope in her life. A few years passed as they constantly created trouble for the government, going on adventures, stopping oppression as much as they could. They even almost started an entire movement against their government.

However, there was one fateful day that would change the course of her life and their movement. She and her mentor had been caught in an ambush, it was the day before a meeting with many of the major people involved in their new movement. They ran to get away but to no avail. They were trapped in a corner inside the alleyways of the Towering City. There was nowhere for them to escape. They tried their hardest to fight off the soldiers that came at them as they looked for a way to escape, but, as time went on and the fight continued, they grew more and more exhausted, not only of their energy but also their tools to fight. This eventually led to them being overwhelmed.

There was nothing either of them could do, Hana’s mentor however, had found an opening. It was a way of escaping. There was one problem though, it would require one of them as a distraction. They knew this and wanted to ensure Hana’s survival, so they made a choice and without skipping a beat they put a plan into motion. They informed Hana of what they were going to do, she begged them not to. She didn’t want to lose the most important person in her life, they’d had a huge impact on her and they taught her so much about fighting for what’s right, life, and how to hold onto Hope even in the darkest of times. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing them but they were adamant that this was what needed to happen, the entirety of their movement relied on the survival of at least one of their leaders, plus they knew Hana had so much more of her life to live than they did. They cared deeply for Hana and would give up even their life just so that she could live. That is exactly what happened. Once they said their goodbyes to Hana they leapt out from their cover they had been hiding behind and creating the distraction necessary for Hana’s escape. Hana didn’t want to leave but she knew if she stayed it would be certain death and her mentor's sacrifice would have meant nothing.

She got out as quickly as she could, running vigorously through the alleyways of the city. She ran all the way to the place they were going to meet with the other leaders of their movement. She was going to inform them of what had happened. But, as if things couldn’t get any worse, as she entered the building she immediately saw that everything was trashed. Windows were smashed, doors broken, even the table in the center of the room was broken in half. Not a single piece of furniture was left untouched. She looked around trying to find if anyone was there. Looking around the entire building, she eventually came across one person. They Were one of the people that was supposed to be at the meeting. They were on the floor of a closet that had been blocked off. They were shot and barely conscious. Hana asked them what Had happened and they gave one of the worst possible answers. The place had been raided not long ago. All of the leaders had been captured or killed. Where the bodies went she didn’t know. But, as they tried to continue telling Hana about what had happened, they winced in pain before eventually passing away moments after.

completely and utterly at a loss, Hana left with the person’s body. She took it to a place where she could bury it and give the person a proper burial as she knew the others wouldn’t have been able to get such an amenity because of what the government had likely done or would do to the bodies. After this, she tried to continue the movement but with little success. It quickly fell apart due to the lack of strong leadership as she was all there was left. The government lashed down onto the people of the city even harder in the following years. This crushed people’s confidence in a rebellion and quelled any and all kinds of defiance. These were truly dark times and Hana almost lost hope. Even years later she continued to fight, only, she was the only one still fighting. She worked from the shadows. Only being able to accomplish small things now that no one else dared to help. All her allies were gone. And life would only keep getting worse.
