Accompanied by a semi-sentient energy that can transform into modern military armaments, including guns, grenades and melee weapons. A side benefit of her power is that she does not need to sleep. Is actually a Kurdish refugee who triggered at a young age when Turkish forces attacked her village and abducted the children to use as bait for landmines and traps. Dark haired and olive skinned, Miss Militia wears a scarf and sash patterned after the American flag, with stylized, fitted army fatigues. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast Page (In-Depth)]</ref> village attacked in [[Timeline#1985|1985]]<ref name=I7e1>Hannah bent over the sink and washed her face. She found a toothbrush and cleaned her teeth, then flossed, then scraped her tongue. Too easy to forget those things, without the rhythm of sleep to break up the continuity of days. Better to do these things a little too often, than to forget. She gargled with mouthwash, then bared her teeth to see the dentist’s work, where he had capped them. Teeth that were perfectly shaped, white. Not really hers.<br/>[...]<br/>She’d accepted without complaint when her adoptive parents told her to start writing her name in the more American ‘Hannah’. She’d agreed and signed the papers when they took the last name her parents had given her and replaced it with their own. Small things, so minor, compared to what she had seen and done. It didn’t bear complaining about. Everyone praised her for how dutiful she was in school and her training. She never gave up, never quit. Why should she? This was nothing compared to those hours she spent in that forest.<br/><br/>So hard to believe that the events from her dream had occurred just twenty six years ago. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/28 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 7]]</ref> by Turkish soldiers. She had her trigger event while she was being used as a human minesweeper by said soldiers. Most of the survivors were evacuated to the U.K., but when her power caused problems with the metal detector she ended up being rescued by an American and brought to the United States, where she was fostered and given a place in the [[Inaugral Wards Team|Inaugural Wards Team]],<ref name="I24"/> and her name was anglicized from Hana to Hannah.<ref name=I7e1/> She formed lasting friendships with many of her teammates. A few years into her time with the wards, Hannah had a short relationship with [[Chevalier]]. Beyond a few dates, however, they drifted apart, both being too busy with where their lives were heading.<ref name="I24"/> At some point, she worked directly under [[Alexandria]] and presumably the rest of the Triumvirate before she was located in [[Brockton Bay]] under [[Armsmaster]].<ref name="R1">Capes who are holding their own or who are very on top of their game might start getting pulled away for trips to nearby cities and locations, to bolster numbers or provide backup (or be the tool that another department doesn't have in its toolbox). Or they're left in charge of the team while the team leader is away/off duty. Once this starts becoming regular and they're still proving their mettle, it becomes a sort of informal thing where they end up on a team with Legend or Alexandria or Eidolon, and tackling some real nail-biters. And if they handle their shit then (excuse my French), then their Director calls them into the office and says "The Triumvirate wants to borrow you for a while."<br/><br/>And then they're working as a direct subordinate to other members of the Triumvirate for a short stint each time, which is a final series of checks and balances before they run their own Protectorate team.<br/>[...]<br/>It's not a hard and fast rule. Some teams find leadership in other ways. But before a cape really gets branded and presented to the nation at large as 'leader of [city]'s Protectorate', they'll be vetted and tested and given time with the Triumvirate. Until then, it'll often be something along the lines of... sure, you're in charge of the team until someone says different, but don't go saying you're in charge and if someone asks you if you're leading the team, deflect or be sure to say it's temporary. - [https://redd.it/5ezjhd comment by WildBow on Reddit]</ref>
