“*Hansel, you are connected to the elements and Gods of Mount Olympus, that's why we all called you back here because it's your magic that keeps the universe together*”
―Zeus to Hansel

**King Hansel** (better known as the **Enchanted Pup**) is the main character of *The Enchanted Pup* franchise. He is the youngest son of Giselle and Robert Pup and the youngest brother of Dwayne, Sierra and Charles. Born as a member of the Pups with powerful ice magic, Hansel was next in line to rule EverRealm as king. When his uncle Blacktail and aunt Dalila, the king and queen were killed in a brutal accident and magic was outlawed by Wolfgang, Giselle and Robert feared for their children's safety. Hansel and his siblings were sent to live on the planet Snowi as the adoptive children of Prince Marley. During his years living a pleasant life on Snowi, Hansel has dedicated his life to protecting planets from the forces of evil as a superhero known as the Enchanted Pup. One day, Hansel is called back home by a mysterious spirit to battle against a threat that could destroy the universe.

## Background

Born into the Pup family, Hansel is the youngest son of Robert Pup and Lady Giselle and the youngest brother of Dwayne, Sierra and Charles. In addition to being the nephew of Bloodmoon, Luna, Burnskin, Blacktail, Eddie, Angel, Wolfgang, Blackmane and Dalila, Hansel is also the cousin of Sebastian, Brodi, Archibald, Artie, Stella, Adam, Ace, Timmy, Runt, Martin, Abigail and Karen. Hansel resided in the palace and spent time with his brother, Charles, whom he was close to. On Hansel's eighth birthday, Zeus blessed him with cryokinesis. Hansel tested his new powers by turning the castle into a winter wonderland, amazing the entire kingdom. Since then, Hansel's blessing ceremony has been marked down as one of the greatest ceremonies in Pup family history.

As a pup, Hansel befriended Princess Amber and often used his magic to create a winter wonderland for the two pups to play in. Little did Hansel know was that he was betrothed to Amber. By the time, Hansel turned nine, the council decided that Hansel should be crowned king of EverRealm in the future due to his powerful magic.

Two years later, Hansel's step-uncle and aunt, the King and Queen of EverRealm mysteriously died, leaving the King's stepbrother, Wolfgang to rise as EverRealm's new ruler and established a law that forbids EverRealmians from using their magic or be executed. Robert, scared for his children's safety makes it his mission to earn enough money from his job at the electric company in order to leave EverRealm. One night, Hansel is given a tour of his father's workplace while the rest of his family tagged along. A powerful fire was mysteriously ignited, forcing everyone to evacuate. When the Pups believed that they were going to die, Prince Marley, a monarch of Snowi rescued the Pup children while Robert and Giselle retreated to an unknown location on planet Earth.

As for Hansel and his siblings, they retreated to Snowi where they were crowned monarchs of the kingdom. They resided in the palace where Hansel befriended an orphaned bee named Buzzy who tagged along with the Pup on his adventures through the galaxy. To further secure her children's safety, Giselle used her magic to wipe her children's memories of EverRealm.

### Development

Hansel's character has went through a lot of change throughout the years. In the original draft, he was going to be a teenage human boy named Matthew with an affinity for inventing. His parents were killed in a fire leaving him and his older brother, Charles orphans and the two brothers are estranged due to their polar personalities. An adventure through the woods brings the two brothers together and fully reconcile in the end of the film. Hansel's second character design was a young boy named **Gaspard** who was the destined to protect the kingdom of Wolfwood Forest from its evil king. In that draft, Gaspard is given a heroic role as he battles a powerful werewolf, demons and saves the forest. Gaspard is also given an extended family and is shown to have a strained relationship with them all due to a family scuffle that happened between the patriarch and his brother. In the third draft, Gaspard is then given the name, **Hugo** and made the main character a dragon as his father was one.

In the final draft, Hansel is given the role as the king of the fictional planet, EverRealm and a dog with the ability to control ice and snow.

### Personality

“*Siberian huskies are friendly and intelligent but somewhat independent and stubborn. Siberians enjoy family life and gets along with other dogs. This right here is how I would describe Hansel and why the people of EverRealm love him so much.* ”
―Prancer Elkwood
Unlike his middle brother, Charles, Hansel is a bright, energetic, cheerful, optimistic dog. He is also very sociable and friendly with everybody he meets. His eternal optimism and confidence stems from his childhood and was inherited from his father. After living several years away from his family on EverRealm, Hansel became independent and strong-willed. Wanting to build a legacy for his family and make use of his powers, Hansel became a superhero. Hansel's ingenuity and nobility led him to save the lives of numerous space natives. In gratitude, some have repaid Hansel's heroism with gifts, praise, treasures and a majority of them have even promised to save Hansel should he run into danger. Aside from Hansel's skills and success, Hansel has humility. He didn't become a superhero for the praise and wealth, he became a superhero to keep families together as his family was almost destroyed by his evil uncle.

Although it appears that Hansel is content with his life in Snowi as a prince, he is truly insecure about his upbringing, as it was erased by his mother several years ago. When talking with Marley, Hansel admitted that enjoyed his time on Snowi and cherishes his memories. For years, Hansel felt deep down in his heart that EverRealm was his true homeland and wanted to know who he is. Times after his heroics makes Hansel question his sense of self. The adventure on EverRealm gave him the opportunity to find himself. All Hansel wants to do is to find his forever home and the extended family that he never knew.

After receiving a message from an elemental spirit that his birthplace is in danger, Hansel immediately accepted the message and went to EverRealm to uncover the truth about the past. Hansel's passion and determination was so strong that he was willing to risk his life to find himself. Hansel was very careful not to include anyone else like the Oceanmanes, EverRealmian inhabitants and monarchs. Whenever danger came and threaten the lives of his new friends, Hansel intentionally put himself in harm's way to save their lives. His determination didn't make him neglect the safety of others. Upon entering EverRealm and having a near fatal encounter with the evil Wolfgang and the vengeful Jordan, Hansel immediately told his foes to leave his family out of the conflict. He cares deeply for the well-being and safety of others; this includes his family, friends, his love interest (later wife), Amber, and innocent civilians.

Hansel is sharp and intelligent. As a supernatural hero, Hansel is smart, clever and highly calculated. It is shown that Hansel isn't dependent on his powers and always comes up with solutions to the problems that he's in. Fast-thinking, independent and altruistic, Hansel never gives up on his goals to make life better for the less fortunate. Hansel is also forgiving and refuses to hold grudges against anyone, especially villains. When Jackie and Stinky were exposed to the kingdom, Hansel refused to believe Jack Cat, knowing that his former minions wanted a better life in EverRealm and to cut all contact from their abusive boss.

One of Hansel's strengths is his romantic affections for the Elkwood queen, Amber who was childhood friend. The two pups would play together in a winter wonderland created by Hansel. As children, Amber developed romantic feelings for Hansel but was afraid he wouldn't reciprocate her romantic affections. As teenagers, the two were separated and were forced to move on with their lives. However, around adulthood, Hansel and Amber reunited after the latter sent him a romantic letter which Hansel was flattered by. Hansel was immediately enchanted by Amber's beauty, charm, grace and her penchant for flowers and plants. Upon learning about her loss of her first husband and freedom to the evil Wolfgang, Hansel felt sympathy and wanted to do whatever it takes to help Amber. The adventure not only brought the two lovers together but reignited their romantic attraction for one another. It is by then that they are inseparable and won't stop at anything to find each other.

Another one of Hansel's strength is the bond he shares with his family. Hansel can be mostly seen around his siblings and later his cousins. However, Hansel was distant with his middle older brother, Charles. Ultimately, his goal was to restore his bond with Charles. On his adventure, Hansel made various attempts to bond closely with him. During the years spent on Snowi, Hansel felt that he and Charles are different and have nothing in common. After spending time with Charles and learning about the emotional trauma that he grew up with, Hansel supported him by telling him that he's perfect just the way he is. The dangers on EverRealm caused the brothers to forgive each other for their past actions and rekindle their bond. Now, Hansel and Charles are best friends and their bond was stronger than it was before. Hansel appears to look up to his cousins for their equally powerful magic and always convinces them to express themselves. Hansel appeared to be genuinely sympathetic over their despair of living under their evil uncle's roof. In the times Wolfgang and the Growlers made an attempt on the Oceanmane's life, Hansel was the first to respond by shielding them. He even did the same thing when his uncle and cousins were kidnapped by the evil Wolfsbane. Hansel appears to be sympathetic to his relatives with disabilities. When his sister gave birth to a son, Hansel became a loving uncle to him, telling him stories about the family's ancestry and comforting on the night before his blessing. In fact, Hansel went through this entire adventure to become close to his family, believing that it's love that makes the world go round.

Hansel is a naturally calm and composed character, a trait that he inherited from his parents. Like Charles, Hansel does have a bad temper if he is ever provoked. Like his cousins and siblings, Hansel is emotional and can struggle to control his powers whenever he has an emotional outburst. This is demonstrated when Hansel breaks down in tears at the EverRealmian ocean and everything freezes when his tail touches a bush.

Despite his valiant and majestic aura, Hansel is imperfect and has no shame or embarrassment in admitting it. Like his father, Hansel shares his vulnerability with the people he close to such as family and friends who love Hansel for who he is and no for what he has. He even chooses to spread this wisdom down to his subjects, friends and fans who admire the Enchanted Pup for his heroism. Being EverRealm's king, Hansel's goal is to protect his people and their rights to practice magic without fear of persecution. Hansel appears to be an egalitarian, traveling to planets and EverRealmian countries and helping them fight for equality. This is shown in the films, *The Enchanted Pup 2, Animal Planet and Robin Hood* where Hansel works and fights to make sure that inhabitants of various planets have fair rights.

### Physical appearance

Hansel is a 23-year-old EverRealmian Siberian Husky with blue eyes, a white muzzle, Like his father and brothers, Hansel has a muscular build. Of his brothers, Hansel bears the most resemblance to his father, only difference is his father being burlier.

Hansel's winter attire is a dark blue zippered jacket with a red shirt under it and dark blue pants to match. When Hansel is in a warm environment like Chillrock, he simply takes off his jacket to reveal a red short-sleeved shirt. Hansel's jacket appears to virtually indestructible. When battling that ice monster in the castle's garden, it shot an icicle at him that landed on his chest. He didn't feel any pain as the icicle didn't penetrate through the fabric. As king, Hansel wears a blue suit and tie with a crown pin on his collar that identifies himself as an EverRealmian royalty. Hansel's clothes generally reflect the four seasons along with his relatives and castle staff. No matter where Hansel goes, he wears boots that shoots out snow allowing him to fly.

### Powers and abilities

**Cryomancy:** Being born into the Pup family, Hansel was blessed with cryomancy; ice-based magic. This was an ability that Hansel inherited from his father who also possessed ice magic. On his blessing ceremony, Hansel's magic was so powerful as he could turn the entire palace into a winter wonderland. After the birth of his younger cousins, Hansel's cyrokinesis was marked down as the most powerful magic in Pup family history. Like Abigail and Bloodmoon, Hansel's power allows him to control the weather specifically blizzards.

**Other skills:** Hansel has mastered his powers when battling foes but is unable to fight without magic. Kirby's training allowed Hansel to gain skill in martial arts. By the events of the second film, Hansel was capable of fighting enemies without any help from his magic. What makes Hansel a formidable foe is his intelligence. He has a habit of detecting his enemies' weaknesses and using it against them. For instance, his battle against Wolfgang on Mount Olympus, Hansel spotted Zeus' Olympian pin was giving Wolfgang, his godly power. By removing it, Wolfgang loses his powers, resulting his untimely demise. Like his father, Hansel is knowledgeable in science, mathematics, history, language and the arts. When living with Marley, Hansel indulged himself in performing science experiments, watching documentaries, learning foreign languages and inventing. Hansel continues to invent when he returns to EverRealm.

## Appearances

### *The Enchanted Pup*

The film starts with an eight-year old listening to his father, Robert Pup tell his son a story about how the kingdom of EverRealm was created by the gods of Mount Olympus. He tells Hansel that every single inhabitant is given a power by the gods when they turn eight years old. It was time for Hansel to be blessed with magic. Robert walks his son into the palace where Zeus gives Hansel magic.

Fifteen years later, Hansel has shown to be living on the Arctic planet, Snowi as the adoptive children of Marley, the kingdom's sovereign. He resides in the palace with his magically empowered older siblings (Dwayne, blessed with super strength), (Sierra, blessed as a divine angel) and (Charles, a genie who is distant with Hansel). Across the galaxy, Hansel is known as an intergalactic hero known as the Enchanted Pup. He often goes on adventures across the universe with his bumblebee sidekick, Buzzy. Charles warns Hansel to avoid traveling to EverRealm. He always asks his brother why and Charles replies by calling EverRealm a death trap for creatures with magic. In the present day, Hansel is helping the castle staff set up the castle for Marley's thirty-sixth birthday. As Hansel is decorating the palace by using his magic, Charles politely tells Hansel to cease from doing magic and encourages him to stay on Snowi for the party rather venturing to another planet. Once again, Hansel is offended by this and goes to the kitchen to help the chefs with the feast. Dwayne notices Hansel's frustration and talks to him. Hansel vents his anger about Charles not allowing to do magic, saying that they live on a planet where magic use is allowed whereas EverRealm has a law against magic use. Dwayne tells Hansel that Charles means well and reassures him that he will understand, he just needs to give him space. Hansel and Buzzy head upstairs to the castle's movie room and watches a documentary on EverRealm's history.

Watching the video sets back memories of his childhood. He remembers being rushed into a spaceship with his siblings and having to wave goodbye to his parents who were being rushed into another spaceship. At that time, there was a fire. Hansel was unsure of what was happening due to being a child at the time of the incident. Sierra soon enters the room to bring Hansel downstairs for Marley's party. She notices Hansel's dilemma and asks him if everything was alright. Hansel straightens up his clothes and tells his sister that everything is fine. Sierra knows that her brother isn't fine and notices him watching an EverRealmian documentary again. Marley welcomes guests into the castle and they begin celebrating his birthday. Seeing families come together for a special occasion triggers memories of Hansel's childhood. One memory shows Hansel playing in the palace halls of EverRealm. While no one was looking, Hansel steps away from the crowd and grabs a book for the library and then heads to the castle's private garden. In an attempt to get some answers to some of his repressed memories, Hansel turns the book to a memory projection spell. By following the spell, Hansel creates an icy visions of his childhood, visions that he remembered. Before Hansel could cancel the spell, he notices some mysterious figures outside of the palace walls. He looks through a crack and sees a rocky, watery, fiery and windy figures. Hansel is curious to what he saw, so curious that he almost ignored Buzzy's cries for help.

Hansel turns around to see that his icy vision has turned into a wolf-life monster. The monster is immune to Hansel's magic as it was created from ice. Fortunately, Buzzy created a fire bomb from the spell book and a red tulip that destroys the monster leaving a red powder everywhere. The commotion prompts the partygoers to come out to the garden where they see the red-powdered covered flowers. Charles ushers the partygoers back into the ballroom and brings Hansel into the dining room where he scolds him for leaving the party after telling him not to. Hansel explains that his vision tells him that there's something out there that threatens the safety of the universe. The threat originates from EverRealm and that unless he goes there and confronts the danger, the magic in the universe will be drained permanently. Hansel assures Charles that this is not about him but about everyone. Although Charles is intrigued by this conservation, he still orders Hansel to avoid EverRealm for his own safety. Hansel is infuriated by Charles' stubbornness and heads upstairs to his room in a huff. Sierra and Marley follows Hansel to his room to calm him down. Sierra promises Hansel that she will talk to Charles but for now, just give him some space.

Marley, however, is convinced by Hansel's story and fully agrees with him, knowing that Hansel rescued countless planets out of a selfless desire and believes that's the reason why he wants to go to EverRealm. Knowing Charles will disapprove, Marley tells the staff to keep their whereabouts a secret. Marley prepares a spaceship and leaves the kingdom, the next morning. Upon entering the planet, the trio tries their best to avoid being spotted by royal guards. At the Plaza, EverRealm's king, Wolfgang announces to the kingdom, his future plans of abdicating the throne and leaving it in the hands of one of his relatives. The appearance of the werewolf king makes Hansel wonder who he reminds of him, claiming that he has seen the werewolf from somewhere before. During the meeting, Hansel catches sight of the wind spirit that tries to lure him to the caverns. He loses sight of the squirrel after falling into a pit. By using his ice magic, he's able to create a rising pillar to lift himself out of the pit.

Unfortunately, the rising pillar is so tall that Wolfgang notices it and is shocked at the sight of the resident using magic which is against the law. He orders the guards for Hansel's arrest. As the guards chase after Hansel, he defeats them by freezing them to the ground. This prompts Wolfgang to sic his werewolves on the running trio. Werewolves, Derek, Billy and David corner the trio and prepares to pounce and maul them. Hansel attempts to freeze them but are shown to be immune to magic. With the werewolves being immune to magic, Hansel and Marley are out of luck. Fortunately, Adam and Ace fight the phantoms, allowing Hansel and Marley to make an escape to Windy Holm, an abandoned cave that was originally the home of the Wind Spirit, Zephyr until he joined the Council of Elements. As Hansel was injured during the scuffle, the Oceanmane's second born daughter, Karen uses her magic to heal his wounded arm. Hansel is amazed by the cave dwellers who still continue to practice magic despite the ban. Hansel is then introduced to the Oceanmanes, the children of Bloodmoon and Luna, governors of EverRealm's capital. Being born into the royal family, they were all blessed with magic when they turned eight. The siblings identify Hansel as the Enchanted Pup and are astonished by a hero being in their kingdom. Hansel explains that he's in EverRealm because he saw a vision that the universe is in danger unless he comes to EverRealm to defend the dangers. In that moment, the Oceanmanes realize that a hero is in their midst. Since it was getting close to sunset, the Oceanmanes decide to get some sleep and welcomes Hansel, Marley and Buzzy to stay in the cave.

Hansel's prolonged absence causes a worried Charles, Sierra and Dwayne to follow Marley's spaceship's trail over to EverRealm to find and rescue him. The next morning, Hansel is awoken to the sounds of various animal noises coming from the top of Windy Holm. Hansel goes up to the top to explore it, only to find the famous Dr. Harrison Stone and his teenage son, Bradley who are shapeshifters. Adam tells Hansel, that Dr. Stone is close friends with the royal family and has kindly welcomed the siblings to come and stay in the cave on days where they want to avoid their uncle. Harrison introduces himself to Hansel, whom he recognizes by the ice magic, telling him that he was Robert's best friend. After the anti-magic law was established, Bradley got in trouble for using his powers in public and this lead Wolfgang to have the Stones arrested and executed but they managed to evade the royal guards and found sanctuary in Windy Holm and chose to spend his immortal life, creating new potions to help his son gain better control of his powers. Abigail discovers a love letter and sees that it's addressed to Hansel. He reads the letter and sees that it's from the queen of Elkwood who claims to have met Hansel before.

He leaves the cave to go find Elkwood but is stopped by Charles, whose spaceship landed in EverRealm just minutes ago. He is scolded by Charles for leaving Snowi without telling him but Marley defends him by telling him that he ordered his servants to keep his whereabouts a secret. Charles then prepares to take Hansel back home but he says that he encountered the Wind Spirit, Zephyr and received a love letter from a secret admirer that he used to know. He promises Charles that once he get the answers to the whereabouts of the Wind Spirit and who his secret admirer is, they'll return home. Charles calms down and agrees with him but firmly reminds him that they are not staying in EverRealm. The gang traveled through the forest of the planet where they encounter an alien group known as the Twin Paw that is lead by Jordan. They used to live in the kingdom until they kicked out by Wolfgang and have grown bitter against the people of EverRealm for their abuse and neglect. Hansel tells the Twin Paw that he doesn't mean any harm, he just needs to get past the forest. Jordan refuses to let them cross, saying that this is his territory and no one shall cross it. Hansel begs Jordan to accept his offer. The Paw leader agrees but only on one condition, he shall fight Hansel and see how strong he is. If he wins, he will let Hansel pass. Unwilling to engage in a battle, he tries to dissuade Jordan by explaining to him that he believes that he's connected to elemental spirits. Suddenly, a bolt of energy strikes two of the Paw's houses and catches on fire.

Hansel acts swiftly and freezes the fire before it could spread. Despite saving their houses from destruction, Jordan and the clan are angry at Hansel, believing that he contacted the fire spirit to destroy their home. Furious, Jordan chases Hansel and the gang out of the forest and swears vengeance against him. Hansel is left confused at how the Fire Spirit just appeared and wonders why it burn down a house when the spirits' purpose is to help the forest and not hurt it. Martin claims that the Fire Spirit is helping them in another way, saying that the Fire Spirit is mischievous and enjoys playing pranks and their pranks can be in the form of messages. Unsure of what the message was, Hansel focuses on his problem which is being unable to meet up with his secret admirer and wonders how they can get in the forest and head over to Elkwood. Adam says that his father has a bodyguard who can get him in and out of the forest without being seen by the Twin Paw. In the meantime while hiding out in the cave, he spots a mural on the cave that depicts four natural disasters destroying an unknown planet. Bradley talks to Hansel and asks him for advice on how to control your magic. Hansel tells Bradley that he doesn't know because he's a shapeshifter and should ask his father that question. Bradley replies that he did and tells him to close his eyes and envision the animal that he wants to turn into. Hansel, however does give Bradley advice, telling him not to think about the outcome and not to worry about failure, when the time comes to act quick, he'll know what to do. As a result of this statement, Bradley's confidence is bolstered.

Curious to why the Twin Paw hates the royal family, Timmy shows a vision of EverRealm's past. The Twin Paw were welcomed members of the community for their brave actions in defending the kingdom from invaders. When the kingdom was taken over by Wolfgang, he banished the Twin Paw as he didn't want filthy aliens in his kingdom. The clan's leader, Jordan took that insult seriously and has vowed vengeance against the royal family for their prejudice. The Oceanmanes also shows Hansel how the death of their aunt and uncle affected the family. With magic being outlawed, the Oceanmanes can't practice magic. Magic use helped managed Timmy and Abigail's mental and developmental conditions. Magic use also helped Karen, Adam, Ace and Runt with helping the citizens with their everyday chores. For Martin, he was born during Wolfgang's reign and his ceremony went on undisturbed, but sadly, he couldn't his recently blessed technology magic. But the greatest pain on the Oceanmane family is the supposed death of Blacktail's son, Sebastian. After hearing the tragic news of his parents, Sebastian supposedly felt guilty and took his life. Adam and his siblings refuse to believe that for two reasons. First reason is that Wolfgang told them that and second reason is Sebastian would never harm himself knowing he had a good support system.

Captain Kirby of the Deer Guard arrives at the holm kindly agrees to direct him to the castle of Elkwood, saying that Hansel's fighting mastery was impressive. Excited about meeting his secret admirer, Hansel wants to dress nice and the gang helps him get set up for a date. Before leaving, everyone wishes Hansel luck on his date, especially Charles who tells his brother to break a leg. Marley gives Hansel, a communicator which will call him in case he needs advice. He takes the communicator and follows Kirby through the forest without waking up the Twin Paws. At the castle, Hansel is introduced to Amber, former princess-now queen of Elkwood. He recognizes Amber as the puppy that he used to play with when he was a child. While waiting for the chefs to prepare the food, Amber introduces Hansel to her mother, stepfather and brother and her children (Yukon, a pup with the ability to control ice and snow and Maize, a pup with the ability to control and grow flowers). Hansel strikes an engaging conservation with Amber's family and they immediately grow fond of Hansel. After the dinner was over, Amber takes Hansel outside for a walk in her garden populated with sentient flowers. Although their lives are content, they want to change their lives and how they should live it. Hansel and Amber begin to fall in love with each other after learning that they both have the same dreams and hopes. They lean for a kiss but is interrupted when the people of Elkwood all cheer at the meteor show approaching the kingdom. Amber sighs over the fact that she may never be able to see the universe.

Willing to win over his secret admirer, he calls over Marley to take him and Amber on a trip through the galaxy. During the trip, Amber becomes even closer to Hansel. After dropping Amber off at the castle, she asks Hansel to come back tomorrow night and the latter agrees, saying that he would like to spend more time with her children. Once Hansel got home, he tells the gang that he really enjoyed his date and can't wait to see her again. The gang all went to their rooms for bed but Charles and Hansel slept on the ground together where they had a talk and began to bond. Knowing how much fun, Hansel had, Charles tells him that once they return to Snowi, he can go back to EverRealm anytime he wants. Hansel smiles and then goes to sleep not before he thanks Charles for being a good brother.

The next morning, Hansel is the first one to wake up. He sees that the cave is out of firewood and goes outside to get some more. Above him is a bird who is a member of the Twin Paw and drops a letter which is an invitation to a fight that was arranged by Wolfgang in hopes of having Hansel killed. Having no fighting experience, Hansel fears that he's going to meet his death at the hands of Jordan. Fortunately, Kirby agrees to help Hansel train and during his training, Amber, Yukon, Maize and Cerberus come over to Windy Holm to help him train as Amber said that she preferred to see Hansel "work out his muscles." A few days later, Hansel is prepared to fight Jordan. Back in the forest, Jordan is filled with a rage and an intent to kill. During the battle, Hansel proves to Jordan that he's capable of defending himself. In a fit of rage, Jordan lunges at Hansel but he ducks and Jordan falls off of the waterfall. Hansel grabs a long vine and jumps off the waterfall and grabs Jordan's hand and uses his other hand to pull himself and Jordan up to the forest but the vine snaps and they both plummet to their doom. Fortunately, they were rescued by the Water Spirit who brings them back up to the forest. It is at that moment that Jordan and the Twin Paw realize that they were wrong about Hansel and cheer for him as a hero and Jordan apologizes for his earlier behavior and Hansel instantly forgives him, saying to let bygones be bygones.

Meanwhile, Wolfgang learns from one of his soldiers that his attempt to have Hansel killed has failed and has become friends with his former attacker. Wolfgang then unleashes his monster, the Smogtaur to hunt down and kill Hansel and his friends. In the cave, everyone congratulates Hansel on what a job well done, he did. Jordan decides to tag along with Hansel on his quest to find the Council of Elements. Suddenly, the Windy Holm is attacked by the Smogtaur, forcing the gang to leave and heads over to Elkwood to hide there. In the castle, Amber tells Hansel about her late husband, Milo and how he was determined to end Wolfgang's reign but this results in his tragic death. After Milo's death, it became hard for the pups. Yukon was born with ice magic but it wasn't powerful until the age of 10 and they became powerful when Wolfgang rose to power and outlawed magic. Maize wanted to explore the universe but couldn't leave EverRealm because no one was allowed to leave the planet. Hansel felt sad for Amber and comforted her as Wolfgang has ruined her family's life. The Smogtaur enters Elkwood along with Wolfgang and the royal guard and they attack the kingdom. Hansel, Amber and Cerberus spot them approaching the castle and made an escape especially after learning that more fire strengthens the Smogtaur.

The gang doesn't know where to hide until the ground began to rumble. The Earth Spirit was telling the gang where to go. He tells them to go to Lakeville, a village that inhabits a race of bee-bear creatures known as Honeybear led by Buttons and their army of rhinoceros. Buttons doesn't allow intruders but he recognizes Buzzy as a member of the village who got lost and was presumed dead. He asked how could he survive the harsh conditions of EverRealm and Buzzy says that Hansel saved his life. Seeing Hansel as a brave and compassionate Snow Dog, he kindly allows him and his family into his village. In Buttons' mansion, he tells Hansel that his father was the king of Lakeville and he was a teenager. When Wolfgang was crowned king, Buttons' father was killed for using his magic to grow some crops. Buttons was crowned king shortly after his death and struggled to rule the village at such a young age. Hansel sympathized with Buttons and told him that he's here to restore peace to the planet. While the gang is exploring the village, the Rhino Guards are possessed by Wolfgang's hypnotic magic and is turned against the Honeybears. They attack the village and target Amber as she's the source of Hansel's happiness. Hansel and Buttons discover Amber is about to meet her death in the foyer. Fortunately, Hansel defends them and fights the rhinos until Buttons encases them in gold and makes an escape. While escaping Lakeville, Jordan is shot in the back by Wolfgang's magic.

Hansel sees that Wolfgang casted a stone spell on Jordan which will consume his body in stone and kill him. He proposes that they should find the Elements and they can revive Jordan before it's too late. The Earth Spirit leads the gang through the planet until they approached the mountains. Upon reaching the top of the mountains, they discover that there are no Elementals up there. Feeling as if Hansel was running a wild goose chase, Charles scolds his brother for his fictional beliefs and prepares to leave. Hansel tries to talk to Charles but refuses to listen and this ends with Hansel wishing that Charles would listen to him and Charles disowning Hansel as his brother. Shocked and deeply offended, Hansel prepares to reply to Charles' disownment but suddenly, the Smogtaur climbs up the mountains and the royal guards surrounds Hansel and the gang. Wolfgang reveals to the gang that he created the fake sign which lead them right into his trap. Wolfgang puts magic-proof handcuffs on Hansel to prevent him from using his ice magic to save himself and his friends. Hansel then tries to talk Wolfgang into abolishing the law as if he wants his people to be safe, they need to use their magic. Wolfgang says that there's no need for anyone else's magic except his. He sedates Hansel with his magic and throws him off of the cliff to his presumed death.

While Charles and the gang are taken to the palace's dungeon, Buzzy and Bradley manage to escape and see that Hansel has fallen in the ocean. By using his shapeshifting powers, Bradley finally transforms into the animal that he wants to and rescues Hansel. Hansel then witnesses Jordan being consumed by the stone and is killed. He then makes a promise to rescue Jordan and defeat Wolfgang. As a result of losing Jordan, Amber, Charles and the rest of his family, Hansel feels lost and doubts himself by calling himself and his powers a curse. Bradley and Buzzy comforts Hansel by hugging him. Buzzy comforts Hansel by telling him that his powers are a blessing as it saved him from that snow monster and that his magic amazes him. Hansel thanks Buzzy for his comfort and support and continues with their adventure.

By following the Earth Spirit, they approach the Gold Volcano where Hansel finally meets the Spirits of EverRealm. Zephyr (Air), Phoenix (Fire), Beckham (Water), and Rocky (Earth). The Fire spirit reveals to be Bradley's long-lost mother and the two briefly reconnect with each other. Hansel spots a hooded figure in a private room. The hooded figure is revealed to be Sebastian. He tells Hansel that he encouraged his parents to go on vacation for their honeymoon so that when they return, he would've better mastered his powers as a surprise. Shortly after their funeral, Sebastian overheard Wolfgang confessing to his crimes of murdering Blacktail and Dalila. The guards spotted him and blocked him his escape. Wolfgang blames Sebastian for his parents' death and orders him to leave the kingdom as punishment. Sebastian mentioned that he found the council's hiding place and they invited him to live with them. The mention of Wolfgang being called Blacktail's stepbrother confused Hansel as he thought Wolfgang was Blacktail's biological brother. Blacktail often told Sebastian stories about how the family came to be and it started with his grandfather, Odin marrying Jade, a lonely widow. In that moment, Hansel realized that Jade is his paternal grandmother which makes his father and Wolfgang brothers and that also makes Wolfgang and Hansel, uncle and nephew. Because of Odin's second marriage to Jade, that makes Sebastian, Adam and the Oceanmanes, his step cousins. By combining their powers, the elements show Hansel a vision from two decades of Wolfgang emerging from the shadows wearing black clothing, the same clothing that the mysterious coachman wore on the night of Blacktail and Dalila's deaths. Hansel, Buzzy and Bradley are shocked by this vision of Wolfgang murdering his brother and sister-in-law in cold blood. Wolfgang was even responsible for the fire at the museum that almost killed Robert and his family. The aftermath of that event led Giselle to relocate her children to Snowi for their safety and to increase their security, Giselle erased the family's memories.

The council are worried that Wolfgang is getting close to taking over the cosmos and they need help in stopping him. If Wolfgang becomes ruler of the universe, he'll be able to drain the magic from the entire galaxy, leaving all creatures including the EverRealmians powerless forever. Wanting to set things right once and for all, Hansel lifts Sebastian's spirits by reminding him that what happened to his parents wasn't fault and that Wolfgang is to blame. He also tells Sebastian that his powers are not curse or a gift, they're who you are and says he's perfect just the way he is. Sebastian's confidence is restored and performs a voodoo ritual that gives Hansel, the group and himself armor.

Hansel returns to Chillrock where he reunites with his uncles and aunt. At first, Bloodmoon and Burnskin are unable to recognize him because of his mother's magic. Hansel then shows them two ice sculptures (figures that Hansel made on the night of his ceremony) and ultimately restores their magic. The reunion is cut short as Hansel ordered his uncles to evacuate the capital while he battles Wolfgang for his crimes. Hansel heads down to the dungeon where he frees the gang from their cell. Upon seeing Hansel alive and well, Amber, Charles, Adam and the family embraces him. Charles is the most relived as he thought he had lost his brother forever. Hansel and Charles show one hug together and Charles apologizes for everything. Hansel accepts his apology and the two brothers make a promise to never leave each other's side. With everyone reunited, the gang spreads out around the castle for Wolfgang but can't find him. The reformed werewolf clan redeems themselves by telling them where Wolfgang went. Having believed that he won, Wolfgang blasts off to Mount Olympus with his empowered Growlers to overtake Olympus.

By using Marley's spaceship, they fly over to Mount Olympus only to learn that Wolfgang and a race of demons known as Growlers have captured and drained the Gods of their immortality and prepares to have them killed. Fortunately, before Valanche could devour the Gods, Hansel comes to the rescue and engages in a battle between the Growlers.

While Marley and Cerberus manages to defeat Thawe and Valanche, Hansel freezes Ozone and Lavar. Although the Growlers were defeated, the gang still had to battle the Smogtaur. Hansel rapidly blasts ice at the Smogtaur until it got into his mouth. Instead of it, hurting the Smogtaur, he is shown to like the taste of ice and figures that the Smogtaur will reform if he's made out of snow and not ashes. Hansel places a powerful spell on the Smogtaur which turns him back into his true form, the Frostaur, which befriends Hansel. An enraged Wolfgang then attacks Hansel. A fight takes place atop the Olympian palace where Hansel and Wolfgang engage in a subsequent fistfight where Wolfgang gains the upper hand thanks to the Olympian magic he absorbed. Hansel spots an Olympian Staff and blasts Wolfgang with it before he slashes his throat. Wolfgang falls onto the castle balcony, unharmed. As he regains consciousness, the balcony that he stands on begins to crumble causing Wolfgang to fall off the palace to his death. His death kills his magic and frees all those cursed by his magic.

Hansel and Zeus officially meet and the Lightning God thanks the Snow Dog for saving himself, his family and planet. Hansel asks the Mighty Zeus if he could revive a friend who was killed by Wolfgang's magic and he kindly accept the wish and grant it. Jordan's stone corpse is brought to Mount Olympus where it is revived by the Gods' magic. With Wolfgang finally gone, Hansel and his siblings fly to Massachusetts where they reunite with their parents after twenty years of separation. They tell Robert and Giselle, the truth about the past and say that they can return home. Upon returning to EverRealm, Hansel helps the citizens rebuild their homes in the aftermath of their battle against Diesel and his army. Once the repairs are done, Hansel is left in tears of joy learning that the kingdom wants Hansel to be the king. The family agrees with their decision, believing that Hansel has all the traits of a king. Hansel accepts his new position as king and EverRealm as his permanent home alongside his family. Hansel and Amber decide to get married in the front of the castle. After sharing a kiss, Bloodmoon officially crowns Hansel, the new king of EverRealm. Bloodmoon's words calls down the spirits of the ancestors and they restore the palace to its former beauty.

Hansel looks over his new home and declares that EverRealmians are now allowed again to use magic now and forever. The family enters the palace and Hansel watches as his relatives use their powers again as they hoped for. To celebrate this wonderful event, Hansel turns the castle into a winter wonderland similar to the wonderland that he created on his eighth birthday. Amber and Hansel looked at each other in love, happy to be together again. Charles comes to Hansel and says that he's happy to be home. The two brothers then celebrate their restored brother bond by having a snowball fight which the family soon joins.

It is shown during the credits that Hansel has made several accomplishments in his reign as EverRealm's king. In addition to abolishing the anti-magic law, Hansel welcomed the Twin Paw back into the capital with open arms, even going as far to award Jordan with a medal for helping defeat Wolfgang. With Wolfgang gone, Giselle restored the family's wiped memories and Hansel is able to recall his childhood memories. On Hansel's birthday, Adam gifts Hansel with seashells. On the years leading up to Hansel's blessing ceremony, Adam would give his cousin, a seashell as a present. The credits scene ends with a picture of Hansel, the Pups, Buzzy, Marley, Jordan, Buttons, the council and the Gods being placed in the castle's hallway to forever remember the day that magic and happiness was restored to EverRealm, thanks to the Enchanted Pup.

Upon returning to EverRealm and shortly after Brodi's departure, Hansel learns from Robert that he has a brother named Eddie. This makes Eddie, Hansel's uncle and Brodi, his cousin. It is that moment, Hansel realizes the reason why his powers were acting out is because the person who can protect EverRealm is related to him.

## Trivia

* Because of Hansel's cryokinesis, he needs to be constantly hydrated and avoid hot beverages such as coffee. In the sequel, when the Pups are having breakfast, Hansel is one of the family members that sits down with a cold drink.
	+ He, Amber, Robert, Luna, Yukon, and Maize are the Pups who need to remain hydrated in order to keep their powers stable. Becoming hydrated would result in their powers being drained.
