—In-Game Profile

Profile[]

Hansel's outermost layer, as a reference to his fairy tale, is almost completely made out of sweets which Gretel uses as sustenance when she is living in the Dorm. Hansel is very territorial, placing the protection of Gretel and his home (and his friends later on) above all else, including his own life.

Underneath the candy exterior is a fleshy body with misplaced eyes and mouth and abrasions in his pale, veiny skin. After his core is destroyed, he is unable to regenerate his sweet outer layer, so Gretel is forced to find food elsewhere.

Story[]

Mary Skelter: Nightmares Prologue Short Story[]

Hansel initially found Gretel near immediately after her birth from a Marchen in the Dorm. While the other Marchens ignore her, Hansel finds her and chooses to raise her, citing his seeming affinity for children because of his sweet layer for this choice. He did not have a name for until Gretel decided to name him Hansel. When Hansel asks for her name, she names herself Gretel, similar to the other Blood Maidens.

As Gretel grew older, she began to take interest in the human prisoners, especially a Dawn researcher, who taught her some of the tools of the trade. Hansel feared she will leave him and escape with the researcher and kills him in fear. He delivers the news to Gretel, who reacts with apathy at the news.

Throughout their time together, Hansel noticed that Gretel was tripping more often than not, to the point where Hansel had to escort her. In an attempt to help her, he went to the human prisoners and motioned to his eye until someone with glasses gave them up in the vain hope they would be released if they complied. Hansel did not release them, but gifted the glasses to Gretel, who responds with joy at being able to experience the world, but cannot bring a true smile to her face. Hansel is overjoyed despite this fact.

Mary Skelter: Nightmares[]

Chapter 5/6[]

Hansel is first seen after the group encounter Gretel. He attacks the group as he believes they are intruding on his and Gretel's home. After the group defeat him, Gretel nearly goes into Blood Skelter, detailing how she felt a surge of rarely felt emotions within her, before Jack purges her. As told after his death, a few things become clear: compared to most other Nightmares, he was considerably nicer, and he allowed no eyes in his area, which means that he was never in line with Snark, who had placed the eyes there as revealed later.

Mary Skelter 2[]

Chapter 3[]

Hansel is introduced as the Nightmare of the Dorm along with Gretel, who orders him to pursue Otsuu, Hameln, and Little Mermaid after they refuse to leave their home. Hansel followed her orders with little resistance, even after his core was destroyed and he was left broken and weak after his fight with the party. Unlike Mary Skelter: Nightmares, Little Mermaid manages to defuse the situation before Hansel was killed and Gretel asks him to stop fighting, to which he obliges. After Gretel joins the Blood Maidens, Hansel makes his home in the New Liberated District, quickly becoming friends with Jack. He is known to listen to Little Mermaid's song along with Jack and even allows Rapunzel to climb on him and nibble on his sweet outer layer.

Chapter 6[]

After the Blood Maidens defeat the O. Nightmare in the Art Alley, the Mysterious Nightmare attacks Mamoru at the entrance to the New Liberated District. Hansel rushes forward to protect his friends, and the player briefly takes control of both Hansel and Mamoru. Hansel is able to hold the Mysterious Nightmare long enough for the party to return and scare it off. However, due to Hansel's core being destroyed and him taking considerable damage, he dies, with his final request to Jack being that he protect everyone and apologizing to Gretel for failing, to which she disagrees and says that he has done plenty.

Love Prison Tower Mary Skelter[]

Gretel's profile mentions that she has a tall, handsome brother, likely Hansel, but he does not expressly appear in the game.

Trivia[]

  • Hansel's text speech patterns between the games are markedly different, as Nightmares has him speaking normally while Mary Skelter 2 has him always speaking in all caps.
  • Ironically, Hansel will die around the same time in both stories, whether or not Otsuu chooses to reset the timeline.
