Biography[]
Hannah is the third child in Pontypandy to have blonde hair, the other two being Sarah and James. She first appeared in the episode All at Sea with her parents in a non-speaking cameo. Due to her being born with a walking disability in her legs, she is the only child in Pontypandy with a wheelchair which she can also use to do keepie-uppies with two footballs at the same time, as seen in Battle of the Birthdays. As the oldest child in the series, she has her own mobile phone and laptop. She's also proven to be a very strong swimmer as shown in multiple episodes. When Hannah grows up, she wants to be a marine biologist, like Jodie, as discussed in Riptide Rescue. In Series 16 she had a new purple wheelchair and now wears a light blue hoodie with black skirt.
Personality[]
Hannah is very smart and is always good at fixing her dad's problems. However, she is always embarrassed every time her father, Joe, tries to solve a problem, using his inventions and even more so when they backfire on him. But she starts thinking his inventions are cool after one of them helps charge her mobile's battery so that she could call the emergency services in Pontypandy Heatwave. She is always really good at football, as she can also use it to do keepie-uppies with two footballs at the same time, as seen in Battle of the Birthdays.
