Hannah Choi

"I may have broken a law or two, but I got the info you need. Isn't that more important... you know, catching bad guys?"

- Hannah Choi

Hannah Choi (Krn: 최 한나) is the Tech Expert of the Pacific Bay Police Department.

Background
Hannah was born and raised in Inner City per Chief Marquez in Heartless (Case #11 of Pacific Bay). Her parents struggled with the Pacific Bay Immigration office for citizenship after migrating from North Korea, being blessed of Hannah being an American-born baby, but her parents didn't become citizens until Hannah turned twenty-one.

Service in the Inner Chaos
As shockingly revealed in Case #13 of Pacific Bay, Hannah was a member of the anarchist organization known as the Inner Chaos a few years back, something she regrets to this day but believes that she wasn't herself at that time and that their aim at equality and freedom had attracted her. Hannah was the Inner Chaos' hacker, a profession she used to spread propaganda and other illegal things for the organization.

One day, Hannah ran a major hacking operation, a feat which got her caught by the Pacific Bay PD. Due to her good hacking skills, the police offered a deal to her—to either go to prison, or to join the Pacific Bay PD and put her skills to proper use. Realizing she had been blinded by Inner Chaos, Hannah decided to join the Pacific Bay Police, thus making the right decision to leave the anarchists for good.

Profile
A tech expert of Korean heritage, Hannah, 26 years of age, sports ash-brown hair, a button-up summer green police coat which consists of black buttons, two breast pockets and two police badges on each side. She is also wearing a binary shirt beneath her coat. She wears an army green track bottom with a mid-gray belt. In her right pocket of her bottoms, she carries an MP3 player, and holds a tablet as well as a pen-drive and tamagotchi with her left hand. For accessories, she has lipstick on and she wears a necklace with the Korean word "무사" (musa, roughly translating to "warrior") on it as well as a police badge.

It is known that Hannah's favorite animal is a rat and her favorite dish is Mac 'N' Cheese. She is known to be snarky, and rebellious, but hard-working. Hannah is also known to be a smoker.

Personal Life
Not much is known about Hannah's personal life apart from the fact that she is currently in an LGBT relationship with Heather Valentine, daughter of Chris and Ivy Valentine.

Trivia

 * On Hannah's analysis render, she can be seen holding a Pearphone tablet which sports the company's logo of a pear on the back. The pear seems extremely similar to Apple's logo, thus the tab being a parody of Apple's iPad.
 * Hannah surprisingly revealed herself to be LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) sometime in Case #58 (Case #2 in Pacific Bay), making her the first main character to have an LGBT orientation.
 * Hannah's also the ninth LGBT character in the game behind Alice August, Kim Aoki, Lucy Campbell, Josh Anderson, Irina Nemovska, Jenny Honeycomb, Jimmy "Ice P" Lewis, and Zack Taylor.

Case Appearances
As one of the main characters and the Tech Expert of the Pacific Bay Police Department, Hannah will appear in every Pacific Bay case in which there are digital clues requiring her expertise. In certain circumstances (such as Bayou Blood), Hannah won't make an appearance due to an absence of digital clues in the crime scenes.
