Personality: Henry is very bold and is always willing to break or bend the rules when he feels it is necessary. Examples of this would be when he ventured out of Storybrooke on his own to find his birth mother and stole his teacher’s credit card to fund said expedition to see his birth mother. This all stems from Henry having lived with Regina, his adoptive mother, who he never felt really loved him. But also because Henry wishes to change the situation he is in. Having lived with Regina, someone he felt always emotionally neglected him; he wanted a better life for himself and went as far to find his birth mother to begin that change. In a sense breaking the curse on his town is also shows the significance of what he wants changed. Since Storybrook was the place where no happy endings could happen because of the curse Henry wishes to break that curse so the happy endings may come back; in doing so this would allow him to have the change he wants to his life.
Henry also has a firm belief in what good and evil is. This due to the influence of the story book Mary Margret gave to him. With these firm beliefs he sees Regina as evil being capable of anything. This would be due to the fact of his complicated relationship with Regina and the storybook showing Regina what she had down in the fairy tale world. In this belief he also has an extremely caring nature towards others as he wishes for the curse upon Storybrooke to be broken from the queen’s evil curse. At times when it was essential Henry has told Emma that no one could leave the town in fear that something terrible could happen like with Ashley, Ava and Nicholas.
Henry has a strong belief in magic and the power of happy endings. Since he is a child this allows for these views to stay with him but is grounded into him because of the storybook. He is very outspoken about his views and his opinions. When his mother continually tells him that there is no curse, Henry continually stays strong in his belief and tells her otherwise. Even with Emma who is a hardcore realist Henry doesn't falter on his belief of fairytales being real. This however usually earns him a bit of criticism as most people tell him that he’s just making it up. Usually when this happens Henry becomes very defensive in his stance about the town being cursed trying to convince those who don’t believe him. This makes him very sensitive to being called crazy as he knows he is not. However if he is pushed far enough Henry will go out and try and find proof for his story. This has led to him going into an abandoned mine when his therapist had outright called him delusional.
Henry is very idealistic as he believes that Emma (someone who does not believe in Fairy Tales or happy endings) will be the one to save Storybrooke. With this belief in Emma who doesn't believe in magic makes him very optimistic as he has yet to stop believing in her. He has a strong faith in her and those who are willing to help break the curse. Even if people do not believe in him, he is willing to believe in those he loves and trusts no matter what. This even leads him to being a very brave boy for his age. Since he believed so strongly in Emma, he was willing to eat a cursed apple turnover Regina had given to Emma believing Emma would save him. His naivete gets the better of him though. Since he is so young he fails to grasp sometimes the seriousness of the curse until something bad happens. Like with Graham he had not realized how dangerous with trying to break the curse was until it was too late.
Henry is also very persistent in what he does. He will not give up on what he believes in no matter what, even if people tell him he’s wrong or crazy. However like any little boy he can become discouraged wondering if what he is doing will actually help anyone. When Graham had died Henry was unsure if that he should even continue trying to break the curse. But because of his faith in Emma he can continue to preserver no matter how hopeless a situation may be.
Abilities: None, he’s a normal little boy. He does however have a story book which he likes to carry around (though I know he won’t have it to begin with it.) It holds though all the stories of the Enchanted Forest up to the point the curse had been enacted and put everyone from the Enchanted Forest in Storybrooke.
