## Biography

Hannah is the daughter of Lisa and Dr. Bradley Dash. However, Hannah lost her mother when she was young; Lisa was presumed dead until recently.

Dr. Dash volunteered frequently, and often brought Hannah along. One time, they went to the town of Verdant Valley to help out in the aftermath of Dr. Robotnik's attack. There, Hannah met Sonny Flame. She comforted him over the loss of his sister and offered to be his friend, which he hesitantly accepted.

When the war broke out, Dr. Dash joined with General Flame's GUN remnant, leaving Hannah to stay at a shelter like many others during the war. Life didn't return fully to normalcy afterwards. Her father's new position in GUN kept him very busy, and very secretive. Then, one day, he vanished entirely. Hannah knew nothing of his whereabouts or if he was even alive. She blamed GUN, knowing they had him working on some sort of secret project.

During that time, Hannah lived with an older friend of hers, a former GUN agent who then taught Hannah everything she knew. Over a year later, Hannah heard of an unjust GUN mission involving a project of her father's: the Chaos Blade. This was one project he *had* told Hannah of, and she decided the time had come to act.

### Phase 1

Hannah infiltrated the GUN fortress, intending to steal the Chaos Blade so it couldn't be used in such a terrible way again. However, while there, she encountered Mimic the Octopus, who then took on her appearance. After taking the Blade for himself, he paused in front of a security camera to frame Hannah for siding with Eggman. Hannah chased Mimic through the streets of Central City before being spotted by the agents sent to catch her: Major Grant "Grizz" Ursa and Calias the Pseudo-Phoenix. She eluded capture and stayed the night at the garage of her good friend Nezumi Numanaga.

The next day, Hannah set out with two of Nezumi's friends on a search for the Chaos Blade. They suspected it to be at the hideout of the Rat-Trap Gang, but what they found instead was a Chaos Emerald. An extreme gear race was set up for a chance to win the Emerald from the gang, but this was cut short by the arrival of General Flame's mech. Blinded by rage at Hannah's apparent betrayal, he attacked viciously, but was defeated in the end.

After Hannah explained her actions, she was directed to seek out Admiral Beauregard Cheddarosier, who could take her to Raven Haven and, perhaps, the Chaos Blade. Once Hannah and Beauregard arrived, they encountered Jack Beakton, who was able to locate Mimic and the Chaos Blade. Hannah met with the man who purchased the Chaos Blade and purchased it herself, using that Chaos Emerald from the gang.

Hannah wielded the Chaos Blade just in time to combat the Gundroids sent to capture her. With help from a few friends, including the two GUN agents who had tried capturing her before, the bots were defeated. Calias revealed that he was the creation of Dr. Dash, and just as curious as Hannah about the doctor's whereabouts. Grizz declared a quest to bring down GUN, and all present agreed to join him. He named them all Burning Rangers.

On their way to Central City, the Rangers stopped by Golden City to add to their numbers. Then they created and executed their plan. Grizz and Calias brought Hannah into the GUN fortress as if she was their prisoner. Flame met them inside and led Hannah away, bringing her to Dr. Starline's lab. Starline made his revelation to the world that his true goal was to help Eggman, and Hannah was stunned to see that Flame seemed unbothered by this. She then found out that Starline was brainwashing him, and used this knowledge to explain herself to Flame and break the spell. With Starline soon incapacitated, Hannah and Flame were left alone and able to reconnect, moving past their prior grievances.

Hannah helped in the battle against the Gundroids attacking the city. When they vanished, the Rangers used Starline's Warp Topaz to go to Egg Base Epsilon, where they found Calias and Polybius battling. Calias told Hannah that their father was inside one of the buildings, so Hannah went inside and rescued him from his cage. When they went back outside, Polybius seemed defeated, but he then used the Chaos Emerald to become even more powerful.

The first effective blow against Polybius came when Calias and Pipsqueak Cheddarosier lent their power to amplify the Chaos Blade. Then, Grizz gathered six of them, including Hannah, giving each a Chaos drive. The drives and the Chaos within everyone enhanced all involved. Just as the Rangers seemed to finally be damaging Polybius, he flew away on a crash course for Central City, which Grizz sacrificed himself to prevent.

When GLACIA was established to replace GUN, Hannah joined the organization as part of the official Burning Rangers, along with her brother Calias and General Flame, who oversaw the team.

### Phase 2

The severe training Hannah endured was overwhelming, particularly as she fought not with the Chaos Blade, but two simple batons. However, she pressed through, and soon was given two smaller Chaos Blades made from the first, to better suit her in stealthy situations.

The Burning Rangers' first mission was to the town of Bootstrap Butte, following an emergency beacon. When they arrived, they learned that the town had been taken over by a man called the Overlord. They resolved to attack the Overlord's fortress the next morning.

That morning, Hannah woke up to Calias declaring that he had already lived today over 130 times. After failing to save breakfast, Calias explained this to the others, detailing what went down each time he went through today.

## Relationships

### Calias the Phoenix

Hannah and Cal's first meeting was less than pleasant, involving him kicking her across a room and her using a flash bomb against him. The next time they met, however, they were united against their common foe, GUN. Calias stated at the time that he and Hannah were like siblings, as they were in a sense both created by Dr. Dash. Hannah agreed, and the two quickly bonded. While close, they do sometimes have tension arising from their opposite natures. Hannah struggles to keep up with Cal's boundless energy, but tries to be supportive.
