time, although perhaps at a slightly reduced rate.
History:
(The
Marvels#6 (fb) - BTS) - As local legend stated that evil beings
hovered
off the Earth looking for spirits to take and that real names
attracted
them, Lotus kept her real name secret, and she similarly did so with
Hana/Blossom.
(The Marvels#6
(fb)) - Around the time of the Vietnam War, when Lotus had her two
sons, Hana may or may not have been the woman helping to care for
them.
Hana was very likely
present when Lotus and her associates met with Dr. Carlo Strang.
(The Marvels#6 (fb) - BTS) - Around the time of the Sin-Cong War, within Lotus' castle/home, Hana discovered a set of stairs in the basement -- when both she and Lotus knew that the stairs had not been there before. At the bottom the stairs, Hana discovered a set of immense doors.
(The Marvels#6 (fb))
- Acknowledging that they had not been there before, Hana led Lotus
down the stairs to the immense doors. 
(The Marvels#9 (fb))
- During what
they called the War against the World, but what outsiders had called
the Sin-Cong War, Hana dwelled in the hidden encampment with Lotus.
Hana was present when
Lotus learned of Strang's conflict with and defeat by Iron Man (Tony
Stark).
Hana appreciated
that Lotus wished to move forward but had begun to doubt the
allegiance
of her inner circle. These were not those she'd begun her efforts
with,
and Hana speculated that perhaps long-time exposure to her mental
powers had weakened their effect.
As Lotus met with
her sons, discussing delaying tactics via Genosha and/or Latveria,
Hana
silently observed, apparently saddened that they had greater standing
with Lotus than she did.
As the war
escalated, Hana appreciated that those present felt increasing
distortion effects from the Dragonbloom and the power from beyond the
doors beneath Lotus' temple. Observing as Lotus absorbed the power
from
beyond the doors and wondered why Hana could sense the power before
she
could, Hana considered that perhaps it had been to dangerous for Lotus
to sense. Beyond the power and the anger that Lotus sensed, Hana also
felt deep sadness and fear, and whatever slumbered beyond those doors
left her profoundly uneasy. Hana further sensed that whatever it was
dreamed of their world and she knew, in some way that she could not
voice, that it could be the end of them all.
When Lotus asked
Hana to go through the doors to see if she could sense anything more
beyond them than Lotus did, Hana could not bring herself to do so.
When
Lotus went through the doors, she found greater power, allowing her to
take the wounded and enemy prisoners and reshape them into zombie-like
warriors the would fight for her tirelessly, unthinkingly, brutally.
While Lotus was delighted, Hana worried what kind of power could do
such a thing, and what would it be like if she awakened it fully.
The war reached a breaking point when peace talks in Madripoor were disrupted by battling American and Russian super-powered warriors, a conflict that resulted in the deaths of both of Lotus' sons. Enraged, Lotus ignored Hana's advice to rest and think, and she threw open the doors beneath her temple, drew the power into her and cast it out into Sin-Cong. Lotus power caused massive, hurricane-like devastation and further caused the outsiders present to forget why they were there and to depart.
Hana helped Lotus
back to her bed as Lotus plotted to avenge her sons and to return to
the USA and poison their people with drugs.
(The Marvels#9 (fb) - BTS) - Per her own notation, Hana had seen much in her many decades on Earth.
(The Marvels#6) - When Lotus awakened and called out after a dream involving past conflicts with various heroes and soldiers, Hana rushed in to check on her. After Lotus confirmed that she was well, Lotus suggested some calming tea, which she then served for her, calling her mistress and telling her to rest well. Lotus thanked her and drank the tea.
(The Marvels#9) -
Hana observed from a distance as Lotus and her forces battled the
heroes, noting "My
lady, Hasu -- 'Lady Lotus,' they called her -- had challenged the
Americans, lashing back at them. And they, true to their nature, had
responded. I think they are Americans, in any case, most of them.
But
they blur together, in my mind, just as events seem to blur
together." She found herself think back to an earlier time of
violence, the War against the World.
As Lotus' enemies opened the doors and passed into the realm beyond, Lotus noted that she had always followed Lotus faithfully. However, she also considered that Lotus sought power for herself and that her heart belonged to her lost sons. She tearfully thought "You say what you do is for your people. For women. Is it, mother? Is it really?"
(The Marvels#10) - After the doors slammed shut again, Lady Lotus angrily and futilely commanded the doors to re-open. As she expressed her frustration, Hana suggested some calming tea. Calling her a fool, Lotus told Hana that she did not need to be calm but rather needed to know what what was going on beyond the doors.
(The Marvels#11) - Hana was by Lotus' side as the doors flung open and the heroes who had previously passed through the doors returned through them into the temple. She watched as the ground shook and Shan-K'ang/Siancong, the power behind the Dragonbloom and Sin-Cong/Siancong, emerged through the doors as well, asking for help. As the energies apparently created holes in the ground through which Lotus' agents fell, Hana called to her lady, but Lotus told her, "Run, Hana! Run, you old fool!" As they fled, Lotus continued, "If that -- creature is what I think it is --"
(The
Marvels#12)
- After
the heroes
forced the
doors closed,
containing the
Kaaraga ho
destroyed
the world from
which they had
come, Siancong
screamed in
agony. Hana
sensed that
Siancong was
in such pain,
and she
wondered how
anyone
could endure
it. she
further
appreciated
and she told
her Lady Lotus
that Siancong
had
begun to
reabsorb her
power,
disintegrating
the
dome Lotus had
created.
As
Storm, Aarkus
the Vision and
Aero calmed
Siancong,
assuring her
that
the gates were
closed and
that she was
safe, Lotus
considered the
the
power she had
been seeking
all of these
decades was
now here in
the
open, and it
would be all
hers. Hana
futilely tried
to counter
such
thoughts.
Soon
after,
however, Lotus
realized that
the being
Siancong was
withdrawing
all of her
power from the
land back into
herself, and
the
land began to
contract as
well.
(The
Marvels#12) -
Refusing
to
stand for
this, Lotus
attacked the
Siancong
being,
shocking Hana
and insisting
that
the being's
power was hers
by right of
birth, mastery
and conquest,
and
that the being
Siancong was
her slave.
As Lotus
forged the
power into
chains around
Siancong, Hana
exhorted her
to remember
that she
had fought
against those
that would
enslave
nations and
women: "You
have said so!
You must not
--"
Casually
striking Hana
down and
cursing her an
"aged fool,"
Lotus
argued that
she deserved
this power and
had been
seeking it for
over a
century, "And
I'll have 
it
-- no matter
who stands in
my way!"
Crawling and
apparently
bleeding from
her mouth,
Hana futilely
and faintly
cried out, "M-my
lady...m-mother..."
As Lotus began
to drain
Siancong's
power,
Aarkus
appreciated
that Lotus and
Siancong's
powers were
too
intertwined,
such that if
they harmed
one, the other
may be killed.
However, Kevin Schumer of the group of heroes then struck Lotus with a sedative via a quill-launcher from the Porcupine's armor that he obtained, diffusing that situation.
(The Marvels#12 - BTS) - The enigmatic Threadneedle subsequently appeared before the being Siancong, explaining to her that she could leave behind a little of her power for the Marvels to safeguard, which would allow the land and the people within it to survive...and to let her true self flow through the power here instead of being warped by others. Siancong did so, forming energy bubbles to protect the people until the heroes could get to them. Threadneedle then took Siancong away to rest and heal, and the nations' tremors slowed, softened and stopped.Comments: Created by Kurt Busiek and Yildiray Cinar.
Much of The Marvels#9 was narration by Hana. However, I have chosen
not
to include her entire narration, but only what related specifically to
Hana.
Lotus claimed to be a liberating force for women, but she kept Hana in the background, using her as a servant and never acknowledging her as her daughter. Hana usually addressed Lotus as mistress, but she occasionally quietly called her mother (mostly when talking to herself).
We don't know when Hana was born. I would assume it was some time
after
Lotus came to Sin-Cong. Therefore, neither of the two women shown in
he
background after Lotus and her allies began to grow the Dragonsbloom
in
great quantities, which would presumably only be a few years after
Lotus' arrival, is likely to be Hana.
I also don't know if the woman seen with Lotus and
her
sons is Hana...Hana was already gray-haired when Lotus met with her
sons during the Sin-Cong War.
