Hannah Parker (The Holy Prophetess Hannah)
The Holy Prophetess Hannah had a childless marriage with Elkanah, and grieved because she could not bear children. Every day she prayed for God to end her barenness. Her story is in the Old Testament book fo Samuel. One day, when she was praying fervently in the Temple, the priest Heli thought that she was drunk, and he began to reproach her. But Hannah poured out her grief, and after she received a blessing, she returned home. After this Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son, whom she named Samuel (which means "asked from God").

Hannah Parker is a studious young girl who enjoys swimming, biking, playing dress-up, and playing with her brother, Adam.
