Hank Pines
Hank Pines is the founder of the Dinner Crew. He is the son of Mabel and Henry Pines, and is the middle child of the Pines' triplets.
Physical Description
Hank has Mabel's hazel eyes and cutie nose, and his father's sharp features, red hair, freckles, and oval shaped eyes. Hank keeps his hair somewhat short, and has wire framed glasses. Like Henry he has a propensity for work boots and flannel shirts, however, he has a thing about his jeans always being ironed and mended, and his shirts run towards the geeky/nerdy gamut. There is an inch scar on his left hand from when he was eight and ran into a tree.[3]
Not long after moving to Portland, his Dinner-Crew-related activities put him in the hospital with a shattered kneecap. After this incident, he walks with a slight limp and/or a cane.[4]
Personality
Hank is very socially adept and is good at making people trust him. Hank is a generally passionate person, and responds quickly in difficult scenarios. However, his passion can also take a turn for the worse, through the creation of his mafia.
He is like both his father Henry, and also his cousin Wendy, in that he is a remarkably relaxed in comparison to Mabel and his siblings. Unlike Henry, who gets nervous in large social gatherings, Hank is very gregarious (like Mabel) and has no problem going up to complete strangers and becoming closely acquainted with them.[5]
He is often considered the 'normal one' of the family, which he dislikes because it implies that he's better than the rest of them. He dyes his hair green, pink, and yellow in college to stand proud with his weird family.[6] His hobbies include puzzles, computer programming, and running track.
History
Like the rest of the triplets, Hank spent his childhood in the Mystery Shack, by then called the Stanley Pines Memorial Library of the Supernatural.
He went to college at his father's alma mater, Oregon State, where he majored in computer science. It was while at college that he met his future wife, Vivienne Chen. Hank got a full ride scholarship because of his grades, but had to live in the dorms all four years, working as an RA after freshman year as a condition of his scholarship. He found that he really enjoyed helping people with their problems and getting to make lots of new friends.[7]
At the age of twenty two, he moved to Portland to live with his girlfriend, Vivienne. There, out of his desire to feed supernatural beings in need and help them with their problems, he would accidentally end up forming a supernatural mafia called the Dinner Crew.[8]
