Hanna Donnelly

**Hanna Donnelly** is the main protagonist of *GEMINA* and a minor protagonist in OBSIDIO

## History

### Early Life

Hanna was born on the planet of Ares VI on the 25th of April, 2058. She was born to Charles Donnelly and Alimah Donnelly. She attended Villon Academy from age six to eleven. However, her mother Alimah died in her youth. Charles decided to move to Heimdall Jump Station soon after. During her life on Heimdall, Hanna continued her education as well as learning several martial art forms.

Aboard Heimdall, Hanna met Jackson Merrick whom she quickly fell in love with. Apart from her relationship with Merrick, Hanna was mostly disdainful of the other inhabitants of Heimdall. This stemmed from her desire to get back to 'civilization' (the Core Systems). Hanna was frequently bored on Heimdall, so often bought dust from Niklas Malikov (a member of the House of Knives cartel aboard Heimdall). Hanna's relationship with Nik was complicated and not always friendly.

Her father Charles recognised her boredom and dislike of Heimdall, so made sure she lived a privileged life, often buying her notebooks. While this may seem trivial, paper is extremely expensive to purchase and transport to a jump station as remote as Heimdall.

### Events of *Gemina*

Hanna is first seen in *Gemina* talking to Niklas and organising her next purchase of dust. After this, a brief insight is given into her relationship with Merrick and her father, as well as her opinions of Heimdall.

## Personality

Hanna is highly intelligent and strong due to receiving both physical and tactical training from a very young age. She can, however, come off as stubborn at times. She is very determined. She also loves to draw and uses a sketchbook to help us understand her mind.
