Hänsel Twiright

"*Hey father, what are you doing? You’re acting like a henchman.*"
―Hänsel Twiright
**Hänsel Twiright** was a boy kidnapped and raised by Adam and Eve Moonlit, and the twin brother of Gretel Twiright. Born as part of Project 'Ma', the newborn twins were taken by their mother, Seth Twiright, to Held's Forest and raised by the Moonlit Family after Adam killed Seth. After being abandoned in the forest during a famine, Hänsel and Gretel were murdered by their foster parents, which split Adam's Original Sin into the vessels of sin.

## History

### Early Life

Hänsel was born along with his twin sister, Gretel, on December 27, EC 0 in the royal institute in Magic Kingdom Levianta as part of Project 'Ma'. After being born with the DNA of his father, Seth Twiright, Hänsel and his sister were placed in a life support system, due to having problems breathing on their own. Celebrated by the people of the Magic Kingdom, their births marked the first year of the new Evillious Calendar.

Five days after their birth, when Meta Salmhofer launched an attack on the research institute with the remnants of Apocalypse, Hänsel and his sister were taken by Seth from the laboratory as he fled with Meta. When Pale Noël used a gas derived from the brainwashing drug Venom to capture the fugitives, Meta collapsed, but the twins and their father remained unaffected. Escaping into the night, they fled to Elphegort, Seth hiding with his children in Held's Forest.

One night, on a stroll through the forest after a year of being hidden by Seth, he settled them near a tree and left them. Soon after, he and Gretel were discovered by Adam Moonlit. The wizard took the infants and fled through the forest, killing Seth during his pursuit. After Adam showed the children to his wife, Eve, the woodcutter couple adopted the newly orphaned babies and raised them as their own. Over the years, Eve tried teaching Hänsel but the child failed to understand any of it. He also kept a glass bottle as a personal treasure.

### Moonlit Abandonment

In EC 013, fragments of the Levia-Behemo dragon descended upon the twins as two lights and fused with their bodies. A few months later, in EC 014, Hänsel and his sister were led by their parents deep into the forest on a moonlit night, following a famine in Elphegort resulting from the Levianta Catastrophe.

Despite questioning their parents on where they were going and why they looked so sad, the twins received no answers, continuing to be lead deeper into the forest. Eventually, Hänsel and his sister realized that they would be lost if they continued on the path and were soon after abandoned by their parents to die. Seemingly betrayed, Gretel and her brother concluded their parents were tricking them somehow, but they didn't know why.

Using the glass bottle full of moonlight he had around his neck, Hänsel lit the path as they wandered together. At last, Hänsel and Gretel arrived back home. When arriving, expecting to see their happy parents, the twins were instead murdered by their foster parents, who they compared to a "witch" and her "henchman".

Watching the children burn to ashes in the oven, the couple witnessed the bodies of the children become the embodiment of Adam's Original Sin. Splitting it into seven fragments, the couple also performed a Re\_birthday, remaking the six spirits of the earthlings into Demons of Sin. Housing each demon inside a household object, the two thus created the vessels of sin. Afterward, they scattered the vessels across the world. Hänsel and his sister wandered alone as ghosts before deciding to go out and search for their "real" mother and father. Part of Hänsel's soul got lost, and Held, taking pity, turned that piece of his soul into a forest spirit called Lemy and wiped his memories.

### Stupid Servant

*Main Article: Pollo*

"*Do you know Arte and Pollo's true identities then?*"
"*It's a bit difficult for me to describe. They're Hänsel and Gretel— reincarnations of friends of mine, or parents or kids.*"
―Carlos Marlon and Vlad Tuberci
Following his death, Hänsel and his sister reincarnated as the twins Arte and Pollo in the Beelzenian Empire in EC 298. Losing their parents at a young age, the twins became servants to the Conchita Family and became obsessively loyal attendants to Banica Conchita. When she became a cook flr Carlos Marlon, the two tagged along, but were hateful of Carlos because of his disgusting habits and similar appearance to Adam. After Banica's suicide, Carlos forced the twins to cook and serve her body for his dinner. Pollo was later killed and devoured by Carlos around August of EC 325, following his sister.

### Forest Spirit

*Main Article: Lemy*

"*You... I recognise you.*"
―Ney taking her body back from Julia to speak with Lemy
Lemy's remaining soul took the form of Lemy the forest spirit, who became the disciple of sorcerer Gallerian Clockworker and saw him as a father figure. Banica watched over him during this time to make sure he was safe and didn't stray near Carlos. Gretel also communicated with him through possessing her identity of Ney Avadonia. During the Duel of Merrigod Plateau Lemy fell uncomscious by the explosion, freeing the piece of his soul that belonged to Hänsel, thus becoming two seperate beings and allowing Banica to find him again.

### Servant to the Duchess

"*…Well, let’s leave them be for a while. I have other things to do. I’ve finally gotten you and Pollo—or rather, the ‘Twins of God’ Hänsel and Gretel.*"
―Banica
After Hänsel's now complete soul was brought to the Heavenly Yard by the Demon of Gluttony and his memory of his past lives reawakened, the familiar returned to serving Banica with Gretel. While the three dined together, Hänsel watched the events of the Duel of Merrigod Plateau again, seeing Julia discard her human body and self-destruct her red cat body with Black Box Type S, dragging everyone caught in the blast into Behemo's inner psychological world.

He then observed the conflict between Irina Clockworker, Lemy, Adam Moonlit, Levia, Behemo, and, later, Carlos. To his surprise, Carlos attempted to kill Irina, summoning the massive skeleton Worldeater and clashing it with the mage and gods. After seeing the resulting blast cause Gallerian's curse to strengthen, Carlos appeared and Hänsel sulked over his mentor's strengthened curse. Later on, he learned about Carlos's ambition to find the Grave Yard where the technology of the Second Period was located to become the Master of the Graveyard and devour everything, and was surpirsed to see Banica and Carlos on friendly terms.

### Evil's Theater

"*Search, search, search for him left, right or below; find the holder of all keys, the Master of the Hellish Yard.*"
―Hänsel following Gallerian's "testimony"
Once Carlos awakened as Master of the Graveyard, Banica took Hänsel and his twin along as they continued to serve her; they did this by defeating any intruders to Evil's Theater, allowing Carlos to eat them. Bruno Octo later encountered and escaped from them, and they attended his trial for him by the Master of the Court.

Although calling for Bruno's execution, they were forced to comply when the Waiter recruited him as a choreman. When Bruno submitted a "motion" to review the script regarding his vision for the Director Doll's utopia, Hänsel attended the faux hearing but largely ignored the prophecy.

In EC 998, Hänsel attended the "trial" meeting called by the Master of the Court as they searched for the vessel of Wrath. After Ma claimed the last vessel was in the hands of the Master of the Hellish Yard, Hänsel frantically ordered everyone to look for his previous self. Hänsel was later killed in the destruction of the world the following year.

### World's End

After the Third Period's destruction and subsequent merging with the Hellish Yard in EC 999, Hänsel and his twin joined Banica at the Conchita Mansion in Gasto in the forms of Arte and Pollo. When Tasan Party soldiers arrived with a Black Box, Arte and Pollo captured and interrogated a soldier about Evil's Theater under Banica's orders. After reporting their findings to Banica, Pollo and the other servants accompanied her to Evil's Theater; the twins and Banica later escaped the theater with Lich when Ma absorbed Carlos.

Resting under a tree, Pollo watched as the confrontation between Rin, Michelle and Gallerian carried out. Hearing Clarith sing the Clockwork Lullaby, Pollo discussed the lullaby and Clarith with Lich before taking part himself.

After Gallerian's soul mended, Hänsel reunited with him along with Lemy to thank him for all that he had done to help. Along with Gretel, they participated in the ball at the Lucifenian Royal Palace. Afterwards, he and Gretel discovered akashic records and played them on a jukebox. He then gathered to play games along with Seth, Gretel, Lemy, Gallerian and Meta.

### Legacy

Due to the disruption of fate caused by Irina Clockworker and Queen Prim, Hänsel's reincarnation wasn't born into the world with Gretel's incarnation as twins, though the originally intended reincarnation, Prince Alexiel, continued to share his visage. Centuries later, Hänsel's will later manifested working for Banica.

Gallerian wrote several screenplays involving Hänsel and Gretel and adapted them into films. While watching the films with an intruder to Evil's Theater, Gallerian playfully questioned their existence, citing they seemed to be hidden so well by their parents that there were no recorded documents of them in existence. While reflecting on the "motions" of the Master of the Court, Bruno Octo noted how Hänsel and Gretel's reincarnations Lemy and Ney existed at the same time and died within months of each other. Bruno also wondered what became of the twins, questioning if they needed to ask the Master of the Hellish Yard to find an answer.

## Personality and Traits

"*You’re kidding, you don’t even know that you’ve died? You stupidly used ‘Punishment’ on your own country. And thanks to that—we’re all sons of bitches!*"
―Hänsel to Michelle
Hänsel was a dumb and somewhat naive boy. Typically free-spirited and playful, he was always ready to have fun whenever the opportunity arose and rarely sulked over anything for long. At the same time, his simple nature made him rather submissive to others, quick to serve his superior's whims. This was especially true of his twin sister, Gretel, where the boy often let her boss him around largely without complaint; despite this, he sometimes took the lead in supporting her in certain situations.

Unusually for a HER, Hänsel was rather mischieveous and didn't show any signs of malice. Following his reincarnation as Pollo, Hänsel became wholly devoted to Banica Conchita, serving his good natured lady in whatever she needed; he also inherited the servant's peculiar laugh.

Likewise, after his reincarnation as Lemy, Hänsel was uncharacteristically depressed from seeing Gallerian's curse, still feeling some attachment to his previous incarnation's father figure. He decided that Banica and Gallerian were the ones he would share his loyalty to. Otherwise, he was intrigued by the "Irregular" Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche and happily befriended his look-alike, following the boy on his journey through the Hellish Yard to pass the time and helping him on several occasions.

## Skills and Abilities

Due to being designed after Behemo of Levia-Behemo, Hänsel was an imperfect copy of one of the dragon gods. As a result, the young twin's shadow could come to life and manifest in dark, twisted forms, such as arms, hands, or other appendages, and be freely manipulated by him. Hänsel also showed some other magical capabilities.

It also allowed Hänsel to reincarnate every few centuries, his soul fated to be reborn in an identical body, typically with his reincarnated sister as a twin. However, if either of the boy's fated parents had children with someone else before his intended birth, Hänsel could instead incarnate as someone related instead or not incarnate in that particular reincarnation cycle at all.

After becoming Banica's servant in the Heavenly Yard, Hänsel was able to possess others on his master's behalf. However, this also meant he shared his master's weaknesses, unable to manifest his spirit and move freely outside conceptual worlds due to the Third Period's rules. Possessing the combined experience of all his reincarnations, Hänsel was extremely skilled in strategy, though pretty terrible at cooking.

## Character Connections

Seth Twiright: Hänsel's real father. Hänsel didn't remember Seth, growing up in Adam's care, but he later expressed a wish to go find his "real" father after he died. He passed on a fanatic loyalty to Seth to all his reincarnations, including those who looked like him.

Adam Moonlit: Hänsel's foster father. Hänsel grew up thinking of Adam as his father, however he became convinced he was a wicked henchman after he died. He later considered her to be a troublesome man, discovering his Original Sin when they died; similarly the boy treated him with little familial affection at the end of the world, subduing him with the Clockworker's Doll with little more than quips.

Eve Moonlit: Hänsel's foster mother. Hänsel grew up thinking of Eve as his mother, even trying, albeit failing, to be taught the woodcarving trade she engaged him. Later, however, he became convinced Eve was a wicked witch after he and Gretel were murdered by her.

Gretel: Hänsel's twin sister. Hänsel loved his sister and was always beside her if he could help it, holding her hand to comfort her while lost in the woods and leading the way with the bottle; later he would stay by her side when they died. Hänsel continued to stay with Gretel after their deaths and would usually be by her side in their reincarnations.

Pollo: One of Hänsel's reincarnations. Hänsel's appearance and soul passed on to Pollo's, and with it he passed on his loyalty to anyone resembling Seth, such as Banica.

Lemy: Another of Hänsel's reincarnations. Hänsel's appearance and soul passed on to Lemy, and with it was his cheerful, intrigued personality.

Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche: One of Hänsel's intended reincarnations. Due to the disturbance of fate and Lemy's existance, Hänsel wasn't born as Alexiel. In an alternate timeline, Hänsel worked with Alexiel and formed a partnership with him, rescuing his lookalike on more than one occasion. Despite this he was not always cooperative with Alexiel and didn't regard the boy very seriously.

## Trivia
