Hanna Falk Cross

Hanna Falk Cross (b. November 29) is the hero of Tess Stone's comic Hanna is Not a Boy's Name. Tess himself has described Hanna as an over-active manchild that can use magic and is constantly getting himself into crazy situations. With the help of his magic and his nameless zombie partner, Hanna does detective work around the city in an attempt to help its citizens, paranormal or not. The amateur detective himself is a magic user, using a permanent marker to draw runes on himself. Doing so apparently wears on him the more he uses it.

He is happy go lucky and optimistic to the point of irrationality, but is extremely loyal to his friends and true to his own morality, meaning he is determined to do what's right regardless of the consequences it might have on him personally.



Character Biography
Little is known about Hanna's early life, except that he apparently went through a traumatic childhood. He also abstains from talking about his parents, suggesting something has happened to them. It is also supported by this official art that Hanna received his scar, as well as some mysterious ailment, during his teen years. It is also clear that he met Luce Worth sometime soon after, though it has not been explicitly explained how beyond the fact that Worth found him in a pretty bad way and took care of him.

After taking in his nameless partner, Hanna has taken on three cases, one of which involved Conrad Achenleck's vampire problem. This case was classified as a 'Fuck-Up' with Conrad ending up a vampire himself. After this, Hanna took on Toni Ipres' case. With a promise of dinner, Hanna set out to the theatre to rid Toni of her ghost problems, and although the case has yet to be resolved, it is safe to say that all is not well for Hanna and his friends.
