Mm, kinda makes sense. That's cool. How long did you had the idea of Hanna Julien before you started writing these stories?
Back when I first got into Ninjago, I had dreams about becoming a Ninja. The first version of Hanna, in fact, was basically a Ninjago version of me;. in fact, she was originally going to be rebuilt as a robot after being destroyed in the Final Battle. She's gone through many "phases," so to speak, including being basically a copy of me, Jay, then Zane, in terms of appearance and personality. After a while, though, I realized that wasn't the best idea and I have been working to make her a better OC, with her own personality and interests. Now she is somewhat similar to Zane, but she takes more of an interest in exploring and finding things, isn't quite as amazing at cooking (art is her thing), and is a little shy, but has a big (if artificial) heart overall. She can also be too trusting, but defensive and can hold her own in a fight nonetheless.
I'm honestly amazed by how you've developed Hannah over the years. It feels nostalgic to compare her to her old self on the original LMBs and I'm happy that such a wonderful character exists and her story is still being told here on the Eternals. Good job, Z&E.
"Are you feeling anything yet?" Lloyd asked, a bit concerned. Ever since he had found a scroll while admittedly snooping around my mother's library, he had been searching for the destined Silver Ninja, and he apparently had a gut feeling it was her.
"Just ice," I replied. "Lloyd, what if I'm not a destined multi-elemental? I know you may have seen some text on a fabled Silver Ninja, but is there not a possibility that it could be...someone other than me?"
"I know you have something in you," he told me, holding my hands. "The reason you didn't get damaged as much as you could have been...you unconsciously used wind to break your fall."
"What?" I asked. "But the element of wind...there hasn't been a carrier in a long time, and I don't feel...you know..." I sighed, exasperated. "Stop getting your hopes up. It isn't going to happen."
"Stop getting your hopes down," Lloyd replied. "I know it'll happen." He sighed. "If I'm pushing you too much, we can take a break."
I felt a small breeze turn into a gust of wind. "Wait..."
I looked down at my hands, then pushed them forward. Lloyd was pushed backwards into the training equipment, landing with a painful thud, but I looked up. "You're doing it!" he laughed.
"Ironic, is it not?" I chuckled, and the wind stopped. "Where did it come from?"
"Maybe when Morro died, he passed his power on to someone," Lloyd answered, "and that someone happened to be you."
"But why would he choose me? He didn't even know me." I folded my arms.
Lloyd beckoned me closer, a picture in hand. It was a child, and I was with him; he was following a butterfly, and I was following him. He wore tattered clothing, and his hair was pure black. "Unless he did."
We were best friends. Morro would always show me the wonders of nature, and I was curious. My father didn't mind my going out, as long as I didn't go too far; it felt strange to be a rebel. He would pull me along, laughing and showing me around his world; his most important possession, a kite he had been lucky enough to smuggle, he and I would play with. After several years, he became increasingly distant and bitter, and after saying he wanted to go on an adventure, I never saw him again.
I'm missing so much about this guy Morro.
It's a crying shame you had to miss out on such a terrible, wonderful villain.

Wow, that's amazing. (And what TeaLeaf said. ) And now she's brought to life in your stories for us to read about and enjoy. Well done, Z&E. It's pretty cool how characters can be based off ourselves and yet when we put them on paper and bring out what makes them unique, they're their own person.

Ahh, thank you so much!!! Yeah, it really does! And even if she was a bit of a Mary Sue back then, people still loved her and that made me happy.

Yeah, he was a villain -- though, come to think of it, I suppose you wouldn't have been able to guess by the way the fans talk about him 'round here.
No, I thought he was best buddies with the ninjas.
XD Nah, man, this dude was scary! He even creeped me out, and LEGO villains don't typically scare me that much. The reason everyone loves Morro so much is because of this little redemption moment he had at his death scene.

{SOG/HUNTED SPOILERS!} Poor Rumi didn't get the same treatment though...although she was even scarier, but she turned out good in the end...except to some fans who still think she's a messed-up snake.

{SoG/Hunted Spoilers} Yeah. Harumi was, in my opinion, a much more complicated and controversial character than Morro. I'm still in internal conflict over my ultimate opinion about her, which is why I love her so much.

{NINJAGO 2018 SPOILERS} Yeah, especially with that creepy ritual she performed that made all my fellow Christians wet their pants...
But hey, she also saved a family from a building (and died in the process before we could see any more of her good side ) and I'm sure a lot of us feel bad for her, her parents dying with the Devourer and all.
