Hanna Broz is Tytus Broz’s adult daughter. She was born without forearms or hands, and this inspired Tytus to start his prosthetics business. Hanna has long, white-blond hair and seems quiet and kind. She always wears prosthetics presumably made by Tytus, though Eli recognizes that hers are more for looks than for function. It’s not entirely clear what her relationship with her father is like. Eli notices that at Tytus’s 80th birthday party, he keeps his hand on her thigh most of the evening, and she barely eats.
