Hannah Valentine

Stripper (former)

Serial Killer

**Hannah Valentine** is the protagonist of *No Escape* and she is portrayed by Camren Bicondova.

## Personality

Hannah Valentine was an emotionless and apathetic young woman who often spoke in a deadpan manner, displaying no feelings for anyone or even care about herself. She is extremely mentally unstable because of a mixture of having suffering and experiencing no love from others throughout her life, leaving her a lost and tragic soul who, deep down, needed someone in her life. Eventually, Hannah got the attention of a fellow student named Jesse Banks and she slowly "fell in love" and became obsessive with him which resulted in her stalking him and become aggressive towards people who get close to him. Hannah, despite not knowing Jesse properly, felt that she was entitled to "have" him and realized he was the only thing making her feel alive and more happy and emotional.

Hannah's path to get Jesse to love her back resulted in her devolving into a murderer, a stalker and a kidnapper as well as committing other numerous crimes in order to achieve her goals, going to very extreme lengths to do so. She was very protective over Jesse, desiring to hurt the people who would hurt him and anyone who could potentially to "steal him away" from her. Hannah's already unstable mind only deteriorated progressively throughout the series, causing her to hear voices in her head and hallucinate. The more people she hurt and even murdered, the more she began to enjoy it sadistically because it apparently made her feel alive and liked the idea of getting revenge on those who hurt her, viewing them as everything that destroyed her throughout her depressing life.

In public, Hannah put the facade of a caring, sweet and kind woman who seemed to care about those around her and had friends. However, Hannah secretly despised her friends and everyone around her, frequently receiving dark thoughts of killing them out of jealousy of them being genuinely happy and loved. She is also highly intelligent and manipulative, using this to her advantage in very unethical ways. Hannah was also not above torturing her victims, especially the ones who hurt Jesse in some way. She is capable of extreme violence and has skill in combat and hunting.

Hannah's manipulative plans of winning over Jesse "normally" met failure as he rejected her, driving her to mentally break down terribly and she was driven to attack and kidnap him in a fit of rage. Hannah initially treated Jesse with love, care and kindness, showing how obsessed and possessed she is over him. When her plans yet again failed, Hannah went to extreme lengths by psychologically and physically torturing Jesse into breaking his mind and manipulate him into loving her back. Her killing spree only increased in her efforts to "keep Jesse safe" and prevent herself from being caught, publicly putting on the facade of being concerned for Jesse's disappearance though would let her facade slip on occasion from specific comments. Overall, Hannah was a broken person who desperately wanted something meaningful in her life to keep her "alive" even if it means committing the most despicable crimes to achieve these goals.
