He received no formal education, but learned what he could from his father and mother while they were alive. He is very thin and has average health at the start of the story.

Hansel tries to help his father gather food every day, even though he is not very good at it. When Hansel has free time, he likes to explore the forest.2) Gretel - Gretel is a 13-year-old white female and she shares her brother's ethnicity. She is the same as her brother in terms of education, social status and health, but has different roles and activities based on gender. Gretel manages the household while her father and brother are away; However, her mother-in-law does not help her when she is promised.2) Witch – The Witch is a 112 year old Caucasian woman and her ethnicity is most likely German. She has a great education since she has the means and connections with other witches to obtain one.

Day after day, she receives beads, jewels, and other valuables from the lower classes of the forest, while her people dominate the forest and legislate for taxes without services because of it.
