—Hansel src

Hansel is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He débuts, with his only appearance, in the ninth episode of the first season. He is portrayed by guest star Quinn Lord, and is the Enchanted Forest counterpart of Nicholas Zimmer.

Hansel is based on a character of the same name from the fairytale, "Hansel and Gretel".

History

Before First Curse

In the woods, Hansel and his elder sister, Gretel, are sent by their wood chopping father to take a cart and collect dry kindling. After collecting some kindling, Gretel notices it is getting late and wants to get back to her father. She takes away the slingshot that Hansel is playing with and begins using her father's compass to navigate the area, while her brother pushes the cart. The siblings arrive back to where they last saw their father, but he is no longer there. As they shout for him, they hear a man crying out in pain and rush out to the road, where they are surprised by a pair of Black Knights, the Queen's guards. Gretel crashes onto the ground to avoid them, which breaks the compass. One of the guards forces the children up and shoves them in front of the Queen, Regina, who questions what they are doing in her woods. Gretel tells her they just lost their father, and while at first Regina expresses sympathy for their plight, she then orders her guards to seize them. While Hansel is told by his sister to run, Gretel hits one of the Queen's guards with the slingshot before fleeing the area. Regina blocks them by teleporting in front of them and then uses roots to pin them to the ground. She calls their escape attempt foolish but also notes their bravery, which is exactly why she decides to spare them. She agrees to find their father for them if they retrieve a black leather satchel from the Blind Witch's house that contains something which was once hers. Regina instructs them to wait until nightfall for when the witch is asleep before going into the house, and she forbides them from eating anything inside the home no matter how tempting they may seem. ("True North")

Upon entering the house, Gretel and Hansel become prisoners of the witch after Hansel accidentally wakes her up by taking a bite of a cupcake. As the Blind Witch prepares her oven to cook Hansel, Gretel instructs her brother to grab a key from the witch's pocket and give it to her so she can unlock the cage door. Hansel, however, is too scared to do it when the witch comes to get him, so Gretel puffs up her cheeks to make the witch choose her instead. Gretel pilfers the key and tosses it to Hansel, who frees himself and goes up some stairs to get a cane to attack the witch. Hansel trips on his way down as Gretel is having her hands bound up, causing the witch to shove Gretel aside as she magically propels the cane out of Hansel's hand. The witch begins dragging Hansel away, but Gretel pushes her onto the cooking rack instead before she and her brother lock her in the oven. After Hansel grabs the leather satchel, he and Gretel flee back to Regina's castle to deliver it to her. The siblings are anxious to be reunited with their father, though Regina ponders if they truly want to be with someone who abandoned them. As Gretel sadly laments that their father is all she and Hansel have, Regina suggests they can live with her and she will give their hearts' desire, with their own rooms, personal carriages, and valets. Despite this, Gretel professes she and her brother only care about finding their father, no matter if he deserted them or not because they don't want to be with someone as terrible as her. Angered at their refusal of her, Regina sends them to the Infinite Forest, where, unknown to the children, their father has also been banished to by the Queen so the three will wander in search of each other forever, never to be reunited. ("True North")

For events occurring after the casting of the first curse, see Nicholas Zimmer.
