Summary of Events: After Henry meets his father, he's very annoyed at Emma. He ignores her to spend time with Neal though that comes to an abrupt end when Hook appears and stabs Gold in the chest with his poisoned hook. The four of them (Henry, Emma, Neal, Gold) then travel back to Storybrooke using the Jolly Roger. Neal even teaches Henry how to sail, steering it together as they come into the docks.

Having finally learnt the truth about Mary Margaret's involvement in Cora's death, Henry embarks on a journey to find a way to destroy magic in Storybrooke. He believes it's the source of all the current corruption including a curse that Regina wants to cast to make Henry love her. Taking dynamite from the mines to the well, he proceeds to try and blow it up. Regina stops him but burns the scroll. Henry thanks her and leaves with Emma, David and Neal.

A few days later after August's sacrifice, Emma and Henry make up. They spend time with Operation Praying Mantis but it is eventually shot down even though they were right that Tamara was the her August was trying to warn them about. Later, Tamara shoots Neal and he falls through a portal. Emma has to tell Henry about this and angry because of it, he makes everyone else work together to stop the diamond fail-safe that Greg and Tamara have activated. Regina reaffirms her love for him and he reciprocates before they go fulfil their separate tasks before meeting again later in the mines trying to stop the destruction of Storybrooke. Once Emma realises she can combine her powers with Regina, he moves away with David and Mary Margaret. But in the confusion of winning, he is taken by Greg and Tamara. Through the mines and into a portal to Neverland.

After landing in Neverland, Henry tries to escape but easily gets caught by Greg. Tamara gloats but Henry threatens both his mothers will be coming to get him. The three of them continue on their journey until they're found by Felix and the other Lost Boys. Greg's shadow is pulled out and Tamara urges Henry to run. He does so, eventually tripping and being saved by an ex-Lost Boy. Together they run through the jungle until cornered by the Lost Boys on the edge of a cliff. Using all his belief, and a vial of pixie dust, Henry manages to make him and the other boy fly. But the other boy's demeanour changes upon landing and reveals he's Peter Pan.

Sleeping by a tree, Pan awakens Henry for some target practice but Henry tries to shoot Pan instead. Not succeeding, Pan then shows Henry the parchment with his face on telling him about being born from the greatest light and the greatest dark. Not wanting to believe it, Henry initially throws away the parchment but does eventually see the truth. Another night, the Lost Boys are dancing to the sound of Pan's pipes but Henry doesn't join in. This is the night Neal and Gold manage to rescue Henry but due to the knowledge of the prophecy, Neal and Gold split and Pan catches Henry once more. Once Henry wakes up, he thinks he remembers hearing Neal but Pan says he's dreaming. He tries the pipes again and this time Henry hears the music and joins in around the campfire.

At a later date, Henry is poked by a Lost Boy named Devin. He challenges Henry to a fight and Henry picks up a stick and blocks the few oncoming attacks. Spurred on by Pan to believe that the stick is a sword, Henry makes it so and starts to go on the offensive, slashing Devin's sword to pieces and eventually slashing a cut on the other boy's face. After Devin goes and comes back from hunting, he tells Henry about how his family are here in Neverland and gives him one half of a mirror. For a moment, Henry manages to see and talk to Regina, Emma and Mary Margaret before having to hide the mirror from Pan.

When invited by Pan for a walk, Henry declines knowing about his family and telling Pan this. He vows to find everything else Pan is keeping from him, assuming the reason his family haven't seen him yet is being Pan is keeping them apart. To do this, he overhears a conversation between Pan and Felix then follows the latter to a tree house. This is where he finds Wendy. Together they discuss her sickness as well as their connections to Baelfire. Pan finds out about this meeting but pretends that he kept it from Henry so he didn't have to bare the burden. He also tells Henry that only the heart of the truest believer can save her at Skull Rock. Making it sound like only a hero can do it, Henry agrees to help.

Seeing that Wendy is getting worse, Pan takes Henry to Skull Rock ready to save magic but makes sure that no one else can interrupt them. Pan tells Henry he needs his actual heart in order to save magic and he gives Henry the ability to pull out his own heart. Henry does so just as his three parents arrive on the scene. Despite their best efforts, Henry still gives his heart to Pan as he believes it's the right thing to do.

After the rest of the family fight against Pan and retrieve Henry's heart, Regina places it back where it belongs and after tucking him in in the Captain's quarters, places a spell on it so no one can ever take it again. Once Regina leaves, Pan appears and tries to steal the heart threatening with a knife. When he fails he tries to steal Henry's shadow. Gold appears and opens Pandora's Box but Pan switches bodies with Henry at the last second and Henry is the one trapped in the box.

The next thing Henry knows is coming out of the box past the town line with Emma pointing a gun at him. Once he convinces them that he is indeed Henry and not Pan, they reconcile and go to find the real Pan. Gold performs a spell to switch the bodies back so Henry has what Pan wanted but it was too late. The Dark Curse was cast again and Regina had to give up the thing she loved most in order to stop it. Henry and Emma get new memories from Regina and ride off to live in New York. He is still there one year later.

Henry's base personality rarely changes throughout all these events. He remains the truest believer with the trust in his family. He learns more and more about being a hero and that it's not all black and white. He also learns more about his family as time goes on and the prices magic can have. Obviously this is all negated as he loses the memories of these events due to the undone curse. He then becomes a normal kid who enjoys video games and does well in school. Once the memories of this return, he will gradually turn back into the truest believer.

Why this Canon Point?: Henry's sense of value, belief, thirst for knowledge and the truth are made up from his time in Storybrooke. Being lied to, thought crazy, being part of a fairytale all take their toil on a small boy. He's not having a normal childhood and thus isn't a normal boy. But bringing him in from a point in canon where he is having that normal childhood and doesn't believe in the fairytales means his life in Teleios will be very different. He'll form new relationships because of his differences but hopefully keep the old ones because they still mean something to him and to those he's made the attachment with. He's still himself but a different version of himself. A self that could be had the situation been different. And not only is it going to make life in Teleios hard for those around him, it will make his life interesting when the memories of his previous life trickle through. But most of all, it'll be a challenge for me to play this new version of Henry. And I feel that no matter how well you play a character or how much fun you have, you also have to challenge yourself within the game. The point of RP is to experience what canon doesn't give you which is why I'm moving Henry to this canon point.
