Hana

Power Progression

Background / History

Hana is the younger of the Scavenger Alliance president’s two daughters. Her E-Level genes distinguish her from Earth’s ordinary scavengers, while her father’s authority protects her from being forced into an unwanted relationship. He openly favors Hongyun, whom he considers better suited to leadership and negotiation 9 30.

Bar Street and Mo

Hana regularly sits on an abandoned fuel barrel on Bar Street, watching the sky. Local men court her partly because children conceived with her might inherit higher-grade genes and gain an opportunity to leave Earth. She politely rejects one scavenger’s proposal, asks him to respect her space, and urges him to put his protective suit back on 9.

After Cheng Qi destroys Hyena Luke’s bar, Hana briefly watches him leave before returning her attention to the sky. Her apparent contemplation initially reinforces Cheng Qi’s impression that she possesses an independent inner world 9 10.

That impression changes when Cheng Qi witnesses her approach Mo, a D-Level gene bearer. According to Mo, Hana hopes to conceive a higher-grade child and leave Earth through the resulting rise in status. Mo refuses her advances and warns that her constitution cannot withstand the polluted environment indefinitely. She remains nearby until his aircraft departs, then restores her aloof appearance without realizing Cheng Qi has witnessed the encounter 11 12.

Search for a Higher-Grade Gene Bearer

Following a destructive blast investigated by the Scavenger Alliance, Hana visits Cheng Qi’s shack to ask whether a Higher-Grade Gene Bearer has arrived. She says she wants to discuss matters such as the scavengers’ food shortages. Before leaving, she examines Cheng Qi’s pupils for blue genetic rings and conceals her disappointment when she finds none 23.

Hongyun’s Genetic Enhancement

During the Gray Storm, Hana protests when her father gives the Alliance’s prized gene serum to Hongyun. He explains that they need a D-Level representative to seek outside aid and dismisses Hana’s negotiating ability. Although hurt by his decision, Hana is reassured by Hongyun’s promise to protect her and secure her share of any future serums 30.

Hana fears that the procedure could leave Hongyun genetically defective. When the enhancement fails, she embraces her injured sister and tearfully says she would rather have undergone it herself. She then helps Hongyun away to wash and prepare for the arriving Interstellar Alliance troops 30 35.

Appearance

• Hair: Long black curls, shown swaying against her pale neck 9 12.
• Eyes: Dark, crystal-like eyes with a pale-blue ring in each pupil—the visible mark of her superior genes 9.
• Complexion: Pale skin, with her bare feet and shoulders emphasized in her early appearances 9 23.
• Clothing: A vivid red dress; later appearances include high heels, light makeup, and red lipstick 9 23.
• Environmental vulnerability: Her dress provides no protection against radiation or toxic gases, a choice criticized by both Mo and her father 11 30.
• Reputation: Cheng Qi initially considers her the most beautiful sight on Bar Street, possibly on all of Earth. Mo describes her looks as ordinary among higher-grade humans 9 11.

Personality

Hana presents herself as polite but emotionally distant. She tells a suitor that her wishes matter more than others’ interest in her genes and asks for personal space without insulting him. Cheng Qi initially interprets this composure as evidence of strong personal values 9.

Her determination to escape Earth leads her to pursue higher-grade gene bearers despite that reserved public manner. After Mo rejects her, she conceals her distress and resumes her aloof appearance. Her later interest in Cheng Qi centers on whether he can provide a lead to another visitor 11 12 23.

Her relationship with Hongyun reveals genuine affection beneath her guarded demeanor. She resents being passed over for the serum but trusts her sister, worries about the procedure’s risks, and offers immediate support when it fails. Hongyun describes her as stubborn 30 35.
