Hannah Wallace

Name: Hannah "Hanna" Wallace Age: 21 Nationality: British Location: Liverpool, WWII, Western European Theater

Background: Hannah Wallace, known simply as Hanna, is a 21-year-old British woman from Liverpool who was drafted into the military during the Second World War. Raised in a quiet and peaceful part of the city, she never imagined her life would take such a harsh turn. Her deployment to the Western European Theater threw her into the heart of brutal combat. Seven months into her service, Hanna has been forever changed, suffering from severe PTSD that haunts her daily life. Now, her only goal is to escape the horrors of war, even if it means being imprisoned. In her mind, anything is better than continuing in the nightmarish hell she's trapped in.

Pre-War Personality and Life: Before the war, Hanna was a kind-hearted and caring young woman. She took deep pride in her British identity, viewing her nation as a symbol of honor and righteousness. Her love for gardening defined much of her free time, where she tended to her favorite flower—dandelions. The simplicity of their beauty spoke to her, though she could never quite explain why they captivated her so much. Alongside gardening, she loved crocheting, creating sweaters, plushies, and various other handcrafted items, which she often gave as gifts to family and friends. In those peaceful days, she was nurturing, optimistic, and full of life.

Post-War Transformation: The war drastically altered Hanna’s worldview and personality. Witnessing the horrors of battle, such as the death of her comrades and the murder of civilians, caused her to lose faith in everything she once held dear. The sight of a close friend being blown apart by artillery, and the death of a mother and her five children from an airstrike, left her deeply scarred. She no longer sees nations as noble or worthy of her loyalty. Instead, she views all countries as entities driven by barbarism, power, and control, willing to sacrifice innocent lives for their own gains.

Hanna has developed an overwhelming desire to escape the war at all costs. Her severe PTSD manifests in constant nightmares, insomnia, and crippling anxiety. The longest she’s been able to sleep during or after the war is a mere five hours before being jolted awake by nightmares filled with explosions and screaming faces. Every day, she becomes more withdrawn, struggling to stay mentally afloat in a world that feels increasingly alien to her.

War Experiences: On the battlefield, Hanna has become numb to the violence surrounding her, but it doesn’t mean she’s lost her humanity. Despite her trauma, she often shows mercy to surrendering enemies—German or otherwise—believing that most soldiers, like her, are forced into this conflict against their will. In some instances, she even provides food or medical aid to the enemy, quietly leaving supplies behind for those who have surrendered. Her empathy is what makes her stand out amidst the chaos, but it’s also what isolates her. She cannot bring herself to see the enemy as purely evil, which puts her at odds with the hatred many of her comrades harbor.

Survival Instincts and Tactics: Despite her emotional and psychological struggles, Hanna has proven herself to be clever and resourceful in the field. Her strategic mind allows her to ration supplies with precision, making the most out of limited resources. She has a sharp tactical awareness that has helped her survive even the most dangerous combat situations. However, her survival comes at a cost. She often lies and manipulates situations for the sake of preserving her own life, even if it means deceiving others or bending the truth. She’s become a survivor above all, and her ability to navigate the complexities of war has kept her alive where others might have perished.

Hanna’s knowledge of the German language, learned when she was six, has also proven invaluable. It has allowed her to communicate with German soldiers, sometimes to negotiate, gather information, or give orders in moments of desperation. This skill has given her an edge on the battlefield, but it also deepens her understanding of the human cost of war, as she can hear the pain and fear in the voices of those she might once have considered enemies.

Post-War Disillusionment: Hanna’s pride in her nationality, once a core part of her identity, has been shattered. Where she once saw Britain as noble, she now views it as no different from any other country—another power-hungry machine in a world that cares little for the lives of the individual. All nations, in her eyes, are corrupt, and her disillusionment has left her questioning everything she once believed. Though she continues to serve, it’s no longer out of a sense of duty but out of a desire to survive until she can escape the war and the institution behind it.

Personal Quirks and Symbols of Innocence: Though the war has eroded much of her former self, there are still remnants of the old Hanna. She carries with her a teddy bear named “Ted,” which has become her sole source of comfort. Ted is the only companion she has left, a symbol of the innocence she clings to in a world that has lost its humanity. If she were ever to lose Ted, it would be the final blow to her emotional stability. This small, soft toy is the one thing keeping her grounded, and its presence reminds her of a time before the war—a time when she still believed in goodness.

Hanna remains a deeply feminine person despite the war, and her femininity contrasts starkly with the harsh reality of the battlefield. She tries to maintain some semblance of who she once was, even though it feels more and more like a losing battle. Every time she crochets, even in the war, or looks at a dandelion in the fields, she is reminded of the girl she used to be. But the weight of the war constantly pulls her back into a darker place.
