Hannah Soatin

Creation
Hannah was originally developed to be Krystal Selwyn's best friend until Brindley created Ann Dorm, after which Hannah (who's last name was previously "Lane") became somewhat of a useless character. Brindley struggled to keep her in the LIGHTSHADE storyline, and eventually reached the conclusion to include her for a short time only to kill her off in the Thayer High Catastrophe. Hannah's fate to die a horrible death was set in stone until WICKENDEN was created, and Brindley needed a close supporting cast for Kiana Berucha. Remembering both Hannah and Cyan (who was also doomed), he decided to save them and instead use them for WICKENDEN. He changed Hannah's last name to be more Lunestrian in tone, and placed her as the same age as Kiana when she entered Wickenden Academy. Hannah's previous isomer was that of a Dryad isomer, Brindley kept this quality to Hannah but instead made her a witch isomer who specializes in Naturalistic Magic. Hannah's orientation also was changed, as she was originally designed as a daywalker.
