Hana is the daughter and biological heir of a secret North assassin organization known as the Sunsu Clan. As a child she was raised to be the perfect assassin, manipulated by her father to believe anything that he told her to be true. Upon her first international job her group had been caught by Green Arrow and his sidekick Speedy and she was amongst the few they had managed to capture. Although she managed to get away, she found that the ship she had arrived to America on was gone and she was left alone to fend for herself. She spent many weeks on the streets before joining forces with Cameron Mahkent, aka Icicle Jr., but the longer she stayed in America the more she began to realize that being a villain wasn't what she truly wanted. She decided to join Green Arrow, leaving her life of crime behind to instead become a hero.

Blunt | Cautious | Reserved | Understanding | Curious | Grouchy | Quiet

Preferring to keep to herself for the most part, it takes Hana a while to fully trust someone and open herself up to them. Once she deems you trustworthy enough, she won’t kill you…This arguably stems from the fact Hana's trust had initially been broken by her own father and the person she thought was supposed to protect her. Who's to say someone else close to her will do something like that again?

She’s understanding of others' pain and tries her best at counseling despite her very awkward and, frankly, straight forward approach to it. She isn’t afraid to call out your mistakes and faults to a near awkward degree. Her stern and seemingly stone face isn’t for show though, often being very blunt and reserved even towards people she likes. There are few she opens herself up too, though as she gets older she gets better at loosening herself up and showing some emotions.

She’s very judgmental, especially towards people she doesn’t like, but if she can get a sense for why someone exhibits certain qualities, negative or positive, she can be quite understanding.

Morally Hana is very ambiguous. While many would consider killing an absolute no, case closed, she sees no issue when a situation calls for it. This view likely stems from her upbringing as an assassin and becoming desensitized to death, though she draws the line at unwarranted death and senseless killings. Like many of her views on life, she believes that if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. If you are unfortunate to get in her way, she cannot guarantee you get out of her way safely.

Energized Body/Empowerment

Through the absorption of energy and converting it to bodily energy, Hana can improve her abilities and even bodily functions by speeding healing or slowing aging. This also allows her to be stronger than most humans.

Energy Amplification

he ability to amplify/concentrate energy and increase its destructive power. Occurs mainly after receiving a boost of energy through electrical bursts/jolts.

Energy Attacks

Able to release/use energy as either projections or balls of energy.

Energy Concentration

Can concentrate energy into certain parts of her body or objects to create energized weapons that act like energized bombs.

Energy Current

Putting an increased amount of energy into either her fists or feet, she can essentially "hit" the ground with a knock back wave that can act like an shock current. Most effective on metal surfaces.

Energy Charge

An advanced skill she learns in her adult life, Hana can boost the energy in her body and essentially "charge" at a target, appearing like she warps in space to slam full force into her target.

Energy/Force-field Generation

Can manipulate energy into a field of energy that can act as a non-passable wall.

Martial Arts

Hana is a skilled martial artist due to her background as an assassin.

Born the daughter of a secret organization in North Korea, Choi Hana-Jin found herself spoiled and treated like a princess during the first half of her childhood. Her father being the head of the Sunsu Clan, Hana had been raised in a bubble from the outside world and shielded from the atrocities outside of the place she called home, oblivious to the horrors her own father committed himself. Sung-Hoon wanted to “purify” the world of its evils and restart it under the control of North Korea and the Sunsu Clan, using meta-humans to achieve this dream. The organization captured children up to young adults that had any detectable meta-gene, raising the children themselves to believe in their ideas and forcing others through mind control as well as hypnosis to follow the organization.

When Hana-Jin was 11 her powers were activated. A group of recently captured meta-humans had managed to escape the clan’s holding barracks and were attempting to escape the facility as well as some sought to cause as much damage as possible. Some of the revolters managed to make their way into the main housing facilities of the upper staff members and elites of the clan, where Hana and her mother were hiding. Jin attempted to shield her daughter as the rampaging meta-humans entered their home and proceeded to attack the two, killing Jin-Ji in the process. Shocked and traumatized, Hana’s meta-gene kicked in and caused a massive explosion that severely wounded the escaped meta-humans as well as destroyed a majority of the building they were in.

The murder of Jin changed both Hana and Sung in very different ways. Hana became closed off, uncertain of her new found powers as well as shaken by witnessing her mother’s murder. Her father’s more gentle and caring persona faded and he began to show his darker side to his daughter as well as becoming more crueler than prior to those in the clan. He appeared to be even more determined to purify the world of sin and rewrite it in his image.

When prior he had kept his daughter away from the clan's dealings, he now brought her fully into and began to train her in multiple martial art techniques, weapon handling, and finally to use her powers. There were others in the organization that had similar energy powers to hers and they worked with her to figure out her abilities, but because of her age and unfamiliarity with such power she was unstable as well as potentially dangerous if she made the wrong move.

Sung claimed this training was to help protect Hana, but when she began to show exceptional promise in being a well adept fighter, Sung changed his motives. It started out subtle, but Sung put Hana through the same forms of manipulation as many others in the organization, feeding her false information about the outside world and what it entailed through not only his telepathic abilities but through traditional brainwashing methods as well. America and the west were the enemies and needed to be destroyed, making Hana believe the world was cruel and that it needed cleansing.

During her time training under her father and clan’s leaders, Hana met Chang-Ming. The other girl was a year younger and the daughter of one of the higher ranking officials in the clan as well as a meta-human. The two bonded and became close friends, almost inseparable, and Chang seemed to bring out bits of the older, once more happier, Hana that had been buried after her mother's death.

Becoming a Hero

At the age of 15, Hana’s father deemed her ready for her first mission. She had proven herself to be an able fighter and had successfully taken on more local, national jobs to prove her worth that Sung-Hoon was confident enough in her abilities to take on a much larger job to show she was ready for the next steps in her assassin training. She was sent off with a group of Sunsu Clan members to Star City with the intent of infiltrating a Queen Industries’ warehouse full of tech the clan intended on stealing. During their raid of the warehouse, Green Arrow and Speedy showed up to stop their infiltration. Many of the group were able to escape, but Hana along with two others were caught in a net trap by the archer duo from one of their arrows.

Expecting torture or death due to the many falsehoods she was fed from her father, Hana was shocked to find Green Arrow and Speedy simply wanted to question the three captured. All three refused to answer their questions about why they were stealing the tech as well as where they came from, the Sunsu Clan not being very known to the world outside of Korea. The two heroes appeared to be unaware that any of the three they had captured had powers, though Hana knew her fellow clan members didn’t have abilities that allowed them to escape like she did. Believing it was everyone for themselves, she managed to use her powers to escape and ran straight to the docks where the boat that had brought the clan to Star City should have been waiting.

She hadn’t entirely been sure what she was expecting, but she was both disappointed and broken to find that the ship was gone and she was left there, alone. The clan’s methodology meant it didn’t wait for those left behind, but she had hoped that, maybe, since she was the daughter of their leader they would wait for her. The realization that they didn’t care, that she was just another soldier for them to waste hit her hard.

Hana was left to roam the streets of Star City afterwards. She was alone and in a country she only knew through what her father and his goons told her, which she quickly found was not much to work on. She spent a month wondering on her own without knowing how to gather her own food, find her own shelter, and with poor english she didn’t have much communication-wise either. Her wealthy lifestyle was not much help, but her assassin abilities seemed to come in use. She was able to figure out she needed money, cash and coins to purchase things, so she learned how to steal wallets and purses to gather funds to buy food and even then she would often just steal food as it was much easier.

During her time on the streets, Green Arrow kept a close eye on her. He noticed she seemed lost and confused as well as had a powerset that she seemed uncertain of. On one occasion, when she was attacked by a thug in an alleyway, she attempted to use her powers to get out of the situation but lost control and instead severely hurt the thug. She didn’t feel anything for the thug persay, but more frustrated with herself that she couldn’t control these abilities. Green Arrow came down from the rooftops, calming the confused and now panicked girl and telling her that he wasn’t here to capture her again. He simply wanted to talk. So hesitantly she let him talk, listening to him explain that he had been watching her and wanted to help her. He knew people that could help her with her powers and teach her how to use them without hurting herself or others. Most of all, he was offering her a place to live.

Skeptical of this green archer, Hana felt he was tricking her, an attempt to get her to willingly fall into a trap. Despite her time in America, she still viewed them as inferior and untrustworthy. Prior to this no one had attempted to help her, so why would anyone want to help her now? Besides, she was too stubborn to accept help from him. So she continued to live on the streets.

It was only a few days after her meeting with Green Arrow that Hana ran into Icicle Jr. The young teen had been running from police after attempting to steal from a retail store. He happened to turn down the alley that Hana had deemed would be her residence for the night and the two were surprised to see each other, Icicle Jr. uncertain if he should continue his path through the alley and Hana annoyed that she’d been interrupted. When the police caught up to Cameron because of the sudden pause, Hana panicked, afraid the police would target her as well. She used her powers as a reflex, blasting the police back and giving her and Cameron time to bolt.

They managed to lose the police and Cameron expressed a form of flattery and interest towards her, grinning from ear to ear as he praised her powers and help. Hana found the boy odd but was intrigued by his own abilities and didn’t deem him immediately as a threat. He offered for her to stick around with him, to become a team and help each other out. He explained that his father was currently at Belle Reve and he was residing in their home currently alone without supervision. Unlike Green Arrow, Hana could see that Cameron was different. He appeared to be in a similar situation, struggling to survive and simply doing things to keep himself alive, so she agreed. It was an added bonus that she was getting a solid place to live.

Hana spent four months with Cameron, living together, stealing and avoiding the police. Cameron taught Hana about America, things she didn’t know about and the lies her father had spewed to her for years slowly began to crumble. Her views of America began to change and her ideologies did too. Her and Cameron shared things with each other, insecurities and past events that they would never tell anyone else. She found herself feeling strongly for him, though she wasn’t entirely sure what these feelings were, but Cameron wasn’t necessarily shy about expressing his feelings. He was slow at first though, seeing that Hana wasn’t sure how to handle the affection he wanted to give her but eventually she opened up to him.

Though Hana had feelings for Cameron, she also couldn’t ignore the fact that she was becoming unsatisfied with the life she was living. Her and Cameron would often watch TV in their free time and she would see what it was like on television, see the shows that depicted American life and she wanted that. She understood to a degree she could never be truly normal, but she also knew she couldn’t steal for the rest of her life. She’d had many encounters with Green Arrow over the past four months as well, him always trying to offer her help and her saying she had it, but every time he asked a bit of her became more and more uncertain of her answer. Maybe Arrow had seen something in her before that she only now was seeing, the potential to be something better than what she was made to be. Eventually, one night when Green Arrow runs into her while she’s running away with the goods of a heist she and Cameron just committed, she finally gives in and says that she wants to be better.

The next day she tells Cameron she’s leaving to join Green Arrow. Cameron is confused about the sudden and unexpected change and the two end up getting into a fight. She leaves on bad terms with Cameron, taking what little she had and going to join Green Arrow.

Oliver accepts Hana with open arms, introducing her to Roy and Dinah. Hana is intrigued by Dinah, finding her influential and appreciates how gentle and understanding she is, the woman helping her understand and control her powers to her best ability. Roy on the other hand appeared to tolerate her and for a time even considered her a rival to his role as Green Arrow’s sidekick until they eventually came to a mutual understanding. Additionally, she was taken aback by the little girl that lived with Oliver, the blonde a bit too energetic for Hana’s taste. Dinah’s own protegee also provided her with another form of companionship, Hana able to connect with the feisty curly haired girl despite her initial reservations about her. Camila was more expressive than Hana was used to, but was a well adept fighter and she enjoyed their training together, even if Hana won primarily. When Oliver officially declared Hana as his ward, signing the papers and bringing her officially into the family, she felt like she was finally home and soon after she was able to get her hands on an official hero's suit that Oliver had designed just for her. She felt loved, wanted, and had a new purpose.

Through the Seasons

Hana joined the Team after it was clear Speedy, now Red Arrow, was not interested in the sidekick’s group. Having already been known amongst the more seasoned sidekicks due to working with Oliver a few months up until that point, the Team members accepted her without complaint. Being on the Team allowed Hana the chance to make friends who, in many ways, shared similar life experiences to her and she was able to grow not only as a person but as a hero. She still kept to herself and refused to tell certain details about her past to the others, but she became a far more understanding and open person due to her time on the Team.

In 2013 Hana began to rekindle her relationship with Cameron. Initially she told very few people about her meetings with Cameron, nervous of what her friends and family would think of her seeing a known villain. Eventually though the two begin to date and Hana doesn’t see the point in trying to hide their relationship, coming clean to her family and close friends as she still prefered to keep the circle limited as to not put her or Cameron at risk.

During this time Hana, with the growing number of sidekicks joining the Team, gains the responsibility of being head of Gamma Squad. She helped train and mentor the members of the Squad, notably Robin II and Paradox who proved to be not only an inseparable duo but a pain in her side, and saw them as her personal responsibility. This proved to be fatal in the long run, as her attachments to her squad resulted in her questioning her abilities and qualities as a leader with Jason’s death. She let go of her leadership role over the squad and the members found themselves merged into either Alpha or Beta, Hana deciding that for the foreseeable future she likely wouldn’t take any more leadership positions on the Team or otherwise.

When Nightwing begins to plot out his plan to double cross and deceive not only the Light, but the Team, he approaches Hana with the proposition of her and Cameron being essentially information feeders to their respective sides. Though Hana agrees, not seeing many options when it is clear that they are getting nowhere in their fight against their enemies, she warns Dick that he is playing a dangerous game and that people are going to get hurt. Upon discussing the plan with Cameron, the two come to a personal agreement that after the dust settles, considering their plan worked, Cameron would leave the villain business behind.

As their plan begins to seemingly crumble around them, Hana is adamant that it is Dick’s job to make his wrongs right as this is simply the consequences of his own actions. She doesn’t deny her own mistakes in the situation though, fully admitting to them once things become known and the air is cleared. When Wally unfortunately loses his life, Hana sees it as a grim reminder of what it means to be a hero and that sometimes people don’t always get to see the impacts they have made.

True to his word, after the events of season 2 Cameron walks away from villainy. For a time. The two live relatively comfortably until it’s discovered they are going to have a child. Though the pregnancy was an accident, the two see it as a new beginning, especially for Cameron. Due to being pregnant, Hana decides to leave the Team and in April of 2017 Ava Mahkent was born.

Their familiar lives unfortunately only lasted a few months, Hana discovering that Cameron had broken his promise by aiding in the increasingly growing problem of meta-human trafficking, particularly children. She was furious and undeniably disappointed. Cameron was fully aware of Hana’s past and her father’s abuse of meta-humans, but on top of this the two had just had a child that was undoubtedly going to be a meta-human. Trying to save not only himself but his relationship with Hana, Cameron attempted to explain he had to help with the trafficking because he was being blackmailed with Hana and Ava’s safety. Hana would have none of his explanation. She had extended a lot of patience towards Cameron and forgiven things he’s done that many people wouldn’t, but she drew the line at child trafficking and chose to kick him out.

Left with a baby not even halfway to a year old, Hana’s mental state spiraled into a depressive streak. She struggled to take care of Ava by herself and often asked for help from family and friends but even then she felt like she was unfit to take care of the girl alone. It was during this time her father wedged himself back into her life, being revealed that he has teamed up with The Light. Taking advantage of Hana’s poor state, Sung-Hoon manipulates his daughter into helping him and she begins to act as a sort of spy for her father alongside doing missions for him as partners with her childhood friend Chang-Ming.

With his powers, Sung-Hoon slowly nips at Hana’s mind and turns her into a near mindless shell of herself. Hana often finds that she barely remembers what her father has her do except for bits and pieces, thinking that many of the memories she does have are almost like fever dreams. Alongside this, he starts to subtly recondition her into the person she was before she came to America where she still believed in his ideologies and beliefs. Hana was becoming more aggressive, snapping at people and even at her own daughter until eventually she began to realize that something was wrong as her personality was changing to the point she didn’t even recognize herself.

Suspecting her father was mentally manipulating her with his powers, Hana panics. Not knowing what to do and afraid she is being watched, during one of their lunch dates Hana secretly passes Silas’ a note in hopes that he would be able to help her. In the note Hana explains what is happening and where she believes her father will be sending her next. Additionally she asks him to take care of Ava for her, not able to trust herself to even care for her own daughter.

With the information Hana gives him, Silas passes it on to the members of the original team who attempt to intersect Hana, her father, and Chang-Ming at the location she provided. When they find her, Hana seems almost like a puppet to her father’s whims as he appears to have complete control over her when she is near him. Though they struggle, they manage to separate her from her father long enough for M’gann to successfully clear Hana’s mind of Sung-Hoon’s control, but M’gann can tell the damage her father has done to her mind runs deeper than they have time to assess.

Now with a semi-clear mind, Hana helps her teammates defeat her father, Chang-Ming, and his Sunsu followers.

Desperate, as it is clear he is losing and his plans falling apart, Sung-Hoon in a last ditch effort pulls out a gun and attempts to aim it towards one of Hana’s friends. Hana immediately lunges at her dad and, after scuffling, snags the gun from him. Panicked and high on the adrenaline of their fight, Hana accidentally shoots Sung-Hoon when he tries to attack her.

The death of her father is almost bittersweet to Hana. On one hand it meant he could no longer torment her, but on the other it wasn’t the death he deserved. It left a bitter hole in her heart to know she wouldn’t get to see him suffer for all the wrongs he had done to not only her but to others that she will always live with.

It takes Hana time to recover from what happened and reconnect with her daughter after the events, vowing to herself that she would be a better mother to the now almost year old girl. While she is recovering she begins to talk to Will more frequently. The two had never been close before, nearly having no contact after he became Red Arrow, but after finding out about his daughter and beginning to go by Will, him and Hana strike up a friendship that only seemed to get stronger while she learned to accept the events that lead to the death of her father. They connected in a lot of ways due to their shared experiences and tragic love lives, their feelings for one another beginning to grow beyond just friendship. Though Hana was still recovering not only from the loss of her father but also Cameron, she tells Will that she doesn’t mind seeing him casually until she’s in a more stable headspace.

By the end of season 3 Hana and Will begin to officially date and on New Years Day of 2019 announce their relationship to their friends and family to, almost humorously, mixed results. Only a month after their public reveal Hana finds out she is pregnant. Though it feels way too soon for the both of them, they decide to see things through and, while pregnant, decide to get married.

Carson is born in August of 2019 and by 2020 the two are juggling three kids, Bowhunter Security, and being on and off heroes.
