Hannah

This article is about the Arulian Armed Forces Commander as she appears in Legendary Defender.For a list of other meaning, see Arulian Armed Forces Head Commander Empress Hannah was the former reigning empress of the planet Alluvia, stepmother of Crown Princess Allura of Planet Altea, and the second and last wife of King Alfor of Planet Altea. She was killed alongside her husband by Zarkon of Planet Daibazaal ten thousand years ago, in order to ensure that her stepdaughter would always have memories of her and her husband, she created hundreds of photo albums, sealing them in the rooms of the previous Paladins of Voltron, as well as creating an artificial intelligence from her memories, linking the sealing key to the life force of Allura, storing them both within the Castle of Lions.

An AI containing a copy of her consciousness and memories was stored in the Castle of Lions computer, serving as a counsel and a source of comfort for Allura until the corruption of the Galra crystal forced her to destroy it, leaving no trace of her AI-generated stepmother. She would later on discover the volumes of pictures taken by her stepmother, in the rooms of the Paladins of Voltron. However, Hannah actually reincarnated as Lance, the Blue Paladin of the Voltron Paladins, unknowingly to her stepdaughter.

Appearance
Hannah had the appearance of a tall, older woman with a appearance virtually undistinguable from that of a Altean with brown skin and white hair. Her ears were pointed at the top rather than rounded, and she had small sickle-shaped marks of light pink situated on her cheekbones, right under each of her blue eyes. The pupils of her eyes had a noticeable pink in the center of them. Allura described her stepmother as "having stern eyes", a "stoic aura" and a "air of authority" wafting off her in waves, wherever she went. She also wore the same earrings that Allura wore, though she was not depicted ever wearing a crown, despite her status as both a suo juro reigning Empress, as well as her secondary status as the Queen consort of Planet Altea. She appeared to highly resemble an Altean version of the Blue Paladin, Lance, [minus the sickle-shaped markings underneath both her eyes, her pointy ears and her abilities] something which is often commented on by Zarkon, who once mistook Lance as Hannah.
