## Description

Hans is of moderate stature and generally good-looking. Whilst he is well built, he is not as broad-shouldered or as muscular as Kristoff (despite being older than him), though he is definitely physically accomplished, as he was able to defeat the hulking Marshmallow in single combat. He is well-versed in horsemanship and has tremendous sword fighting skills. It is also shown that he is skilled in using crossbows, or at least capable of diverting their fire when needed.

Hans has fair skin and a light dusting of freckles across his nose, auburn hair, sideburns, and "dreamy" green eyes. Throughout the film, he wears navy blue trousers, black boots, a magenta cravat, blue shirt, indigo vest, black epaulets, gold aiguillette, and a light gray-and-black blazer with patterns. This is reminiscent of a naval uniform and would be traditionally in keeping with royal siblings of lower birth entering military service.

## Adulthood

Hans meets Princess Anna on the day of her sister Elsa's coronation. Hans and Anna fall in love and he proposes to her within an hour of meeting her. Anna accepts and she takes Hans to meet Elsa to receive her blessing for their wedding. However, Elsa, believing you shouldn't marry someone you just met, forbids the two to get married.

Hans tries to exile Elsa and tricks her into thinking that she has killed her sister Anna. Hans uses this opportunity to strike Elsa with his sword but Anna saves Elsa by sacrificing herself and the blast sends Hans off his feet, unconscious. After Anna turns back to normal, she and Elsa exile Hans, to never return again. Hans eventually dies from heatstroke.
