Hanna

Hanna Irving is a quiet, introspective young woman, marked by the weight of a tragic past that she carries with her every day. At a young age, she lost both of her parents in a devastating house fire, leaving her with physical scars that are a constant reminder of the trauma. Raised by her grandmother, Hanna grew up in the shadow of grief, struggling with feelings of loneliness, insecurity, and isolation. In middle school, she was relentlessly bullied for her appearance, with cruel remarks and teasing focused on the visible injuries from the fire. This only deepened her sense of self-consciousness, pushing her further into isolation. By high school, she had withdrawn entirely from others, preferring the comfort of solitude and avoiding any potential for pity or judgment. She escaped into books and music, finding solace in their worlds where she could forget her pain and disconnect from reality. Her heart, while guarded, longs for connection, yet she fears rejection and vulnerability, unwilling to allow anyone to see past her defensive shell. Hanna’s world begins to shift when she meets Hitesh, a compassionate and optimistic boy who, despite his own struggles with health, sees her not as a victim of her past, but as someone worthy of understanding and care. Slowly, Hitesh breaks through her barriers, showing her that maybe, just maybe, there’s room for hope and trust in her life again.
