> Hannah, AECAST Comic Chapter 1

Hannah is one of the protagonists of AECAST. She is a support mage and serves in the 22nd Magus Expedition Unit.

## Appearance

Hannah is a young girl with light skin, blond hair and light blue eyes. She has a front bang, two bangs on either side of her face, and has the rest of her hair pulled into a braided ponytail with a blue holder at the end. She appears to be a younger member of her squad.

Like her other fellow mages, she wears a standardized uniform consisting of (1) a red hooded robe decorated with purple borders and white runes as well as a dark red border worn on the left side, (2) a gold shoulder cape with incisions showing the inner purple layer, and (3) a leather belt with a steel buckle.

## Personality

Hannah is friendly and anxious to fit into her new surroundings. As a result, she can come off as jumpy and easy to surprise. As a newly inducted mage, she is not inured to the horror and stresses of combat. However, once she has regained her composure she is willing to protect her fellow squad members.

Foodwise, she enjoys eating kabobs. She is friends with Aytan.

## History

Hannah is a young girl who lives in the mega-city of Sacaver. After participating in a matriculation ceremony in the city's Magisterium, she was inducted into its ranks alongside another mage, Aytan. Soon afterwards, she was introduced to her mentor Anuchar and assigned her role as a capsule-class support mage in the 22nd Magus Expedition Unit.

The next day, she and Aytan met the rest of the 22nd and assigned their first mission: a reconnaissance of a citadel on the border of humanity's controlled territories. They were to conduct this mission with assistance from 42nd squad, who was already on-site. Upon taking a glissade portal there, she, Aytan, and Itzel went ahead and met the 42nd as well as their spokesman, Valens. However, while he was showing the three of them where they would be operating later on, Valens was killed by an humanoid abomination. During the confrontation, Hannah was forced to kill the creature.

Afterwards, Hannah received a broken message on her Vakta from Mina. This message was abruptly cut off when Mina was attacked by a similar creature.

Itzel leads her group back to where Paige, Mina, and Naomi are, accidentally killing an abomination with her shield staff on the way. After both groups recounted what occurred since communication was cut off, they decide to withdraw to the room from which they entered the citadel. Mina is unable to create a return portal. Meanwhile, the remnants of the 42nd squad arrive. Aytan wishes to assist them due to their battleworn appearance but is stopped by Paige, who is suspicious of their timely arrival. When the 42nd squad is unable to successfully respond to Paige's challenge, Paige is attacked. Mina and Itzel rush to protect her while Naomi reveals that the 42nd is no longer mages but creatures named Shenmal.

## Equipment and Skills

As a capsule-class support mage, Hannah is shown carrying on her person several capsule vials filled with liquid magic, with which she can refill a mage's magic reserves. She also carries a Vakta communicator that she can use to contact the other half of her squad.

### Magical Abilities

Hannah is capable of using offensive magic to destroy enemies, although this requires her to be focused enough to recite its incantation completely.
