Canon Explanation: Highlight for spoilers: This canon point allows for a more interesting take on Henry's character, pretty much it being stated that he has magic that can make anything he wants happen. It also allows me to take him at a point where he's completely safe and he's not constantly worrying about his family's safety.

History:http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Henry_Mills
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 Storybrooke 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 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 done 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 fairy tales 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.
Even though he's a child, he's very protective of the people of his town and the people he cares about. When Regina had regained her magic and would possibly hurt everyone in town hall, Henry said he would go with her just so she wouldn't hurt anyone. It even led him as far as to eating a cursed apple turnover to save Emma from becoming cursed.
Henry has shown to have a remarkable capable of love. Despite how his adopted mother treated him, Henry has shown to care for her. He showed concern on multiple occasions for her safety when she was kidnapped and was willing to sacrifice herself to save the town if only to make sure Henry wasn't alone. For anyone he loves he's willing to put his own life at risk to save them all, like the time he ate a poisoned apple turnover to stop Emma from being poisoned. He's just a boy who felt unloved at certain points in his life has so much love to give to others.
Henry hates being lied to. Whenever he finds out someone's lied to him he completely shuts them out and gives them the cold shoulder. He values honesty more than anything and has said himself he could handle the truth. It's only that when he finds out the truth after being told a lie he's arguably upset. When he found out about his father being alive after being told he was dead, Henry just shut Emma out completely. Even more instances of this are in season 1 towards Regina as he's constantly shrugging her off because of the lies she had told him about the curse.
Henry has always shown to give people more than their fair share of chances and forgiveness. Even knowing Regina had done so much evil, he never let go of the fact that she could still be a good person. He knew she had the capability of being a hero, but, she needed a chance first. This doesn't mean he's willing to put up with someone's evil deeds. Again with Regina, he wouldn't live with her until she showed him she could really change. When the person in question does show that change he's willing to let them back into his life.
Strengths:
Physical
Henry is known to be very sneaky as he's capable of sneaking out of the house without alerting his mother. Other than he just seems like a normal healthy kid. He's been seen sword fighting with his grandpa and seems to be capable at least wielding a sword, even if it's wood. But, it's shown that he's improved having fought a Lost Boy (who's had a lot longer in Neverland to learn how to fight) and won against them.
In canon it's been established that Henry has a special kind of magic himself. Peter Pan had said that he has the Heart of The Truest Believer. That being said, Henry's own kind of magic could be described as being able to do anything he imagines. He managed to turn a stick into a sword just by believing he was holding a sword. Of course, in game this would be down played completely. Only being able to create objects or possibly doing the standard OUAT magic as it were.
Henry's heart is also protected from being stolen from him. With Regina's enchantment put over him his heart can now no longer be taken.
Mental
Henry has been said to be very bright by his teacher, and it shows. He's very perceptive on people's own lies and stories. When August had said he was in Storybrooke for creative inspiration, Henry instantly said he could write anywhere, so there must be more to why he was there.
He's been shown to be smart enough to make a rope out of bed sheets when he tried to escape Regina's home.
Credit Cards/Money - Henry has shown to be able to use a credit card, having used one to purchase the information on finding Emma. It can go as far as him knowing how money actually works and how to use it.
Science - Henry has been shown in science class. But, going from head canon, I would say he's fairly good in the class. He probably gets about an A.
Geography - In Henry's Untold story letter, it's been said they've learned tricks for the state capitals. Henry has done it so much however that he doesn't even need the tricks anymore to know the capitals.
Computers - Henry has been shown to be smart enough with computers, to helping Ruby try to find a job on one, to finding Emma in Boston, and knowing to wipe his search history.
Fairy Tales - Henry has a knowledge on a variety of fairy tales, both from his book and the ones everyone knows. He especially can make the connections between the town's people and what their fairy tale selves are.
Emotional
Henry is a very kind and caring boy because since the very beginning of the series he wants nothing more than to break the curse so everyone can have their happiness back. He's willing to go to any lengths to help the people of his town or the people he loves, like hiding in cars to make sure the people don't go outside town, to eating a cursed apple that almost killed him.
He's also brave. When Emma had received a poisoned apple turnover that would inflict the curse of sleeping death, Henry instantly took it and ate it to save Emma. He explores abandoned mines in order to find proof of the curse even when he could potentially be hurt.
He also has a firm belief in that his town is cursed and believes the curse will be broken by Emma. His hope is what sustains him in the town that time forgot as he wants the queen's evil curse ended. He believes in those he loves, especially Emma, even telling her that even if she didn't believe in him or the curse, he believed in her. His love and belief gives him the strength to keep believing in the power of happy endings.
Being a child, he has no doubts that good will always win over evil. Even if evil gets a few victories he knows good will win out, no matter what.
Even at times when he's sad, like losing his book, he never seems to give up on breaking the curse or helping people. His determination drives him, as he was willing to try and write out all the stories he remembered from his book by hand so he could reference back to them.
He also seems to have a degree of understanding people's motivations. Like with Emma, he knew why she gave him away as she had wanted to give him his best chance.
For a ten year old boy, he has come to be protective of others, including the people in his town. He's willing to give himself up to Regina in order to keep her from hurting anyone else.
Weaknesses:
Physical
He's an eleven year old, human, boy. He's got every physical weakness imaginable that comes with being a kid.
Mental
He's ten years old and hasn't lived very long. He doesn't know how complicated the world really is as he still only see's things in black and white.
Memory - Henry has said that when he lost his book that he he needed to write down all the stories from his book before he forgot the details. While it's been said he has read his storybook a lot it can be said that he hasn't memorized the details of every story. So like any person he is capable of forgetting details in a story.
Math - In Henry's untold story letter, it says he talked to Emma (when she wasn't in his life yet) about doing long division. While it doesn't go into detail, it can be assume he's probably not good since he might be talking to Emma about how he's supposed to do it.
Writing - Henry's been shown at Grammy's trying to rewrite his storybook on pieces of paper. His writing has been shown to be a bit sloppy and has spelling mistakes. Common for any ten year old kid.
English - With writing it can also be assumed that English is not one of his stronger subjects. He probably doesn't know how to use grammar to its full extent.
Vocabulary - Henry doesn't know very many complicated words. He may have heard of them, but, he doesn't know the meaning of some words. This is shown when Dr.Hopper asks him what the word 'delusion' means and Henry replying with a confused expression and thinking he may know.
Still only being a child Henry doesn't understand a lot of the complex thinking adults have. This would be evident when Emma told him she would be leaving Storybrooke. Henry had thought this was because she was afraid to break the curse when in reality, Emma was leaving to keep him from getting hurt.
Emotional
Henry is very sensitive to being called crazy. When he does he often objects to it and does something brash to prove that he's right, going as far as going into an abandoned mine that could collapse at any time. He will also end up crying because of it.
He's also only ten, so he can be a bit naive when it comes to a lot of things in the world. He's firmly against the good guys killing people because good guys don't do that, but doesn't quite understand that the good guys usually will kill bad people to stop their evil.
He also lies, even to the people he loves, even if it isn't out right. It's not out of malice but wanting to try and help as much as he can even if he has to break the rules. But, it ends up putting himself in danger more often than not.
His belief in the curse has been known to falter however. When he overheard Emma calling it crazy he mistook it as her calling him crazy and was on the verge of just not believing in it at all.
He's been known to get depressed over losing his book, giving up on the belief that he would ever find it again.
Henry's want to be a hero can also cloud his own judgement. Thinking if he saved magic he could save Neverland and everyone in it making him a hero. Of course, this was a clever lie that Henry hadn't seen through until it was too late.
Samples (ALL samples must be set in Luceti-verse.)
First Person: Q and A Please
Third Person: Henry had been back for about a few weeks now. While being kidnapped for possibly the fourth time in his short life was distressing, he at least knew this was a lot better than Neverland. The only thing he was glad to know was that his family was safe and they were all finally going home. Now he needed to find his own way home again in Luceti. He was sitting in the kitchen, mulling over a cup of hot chocolate with cinnamon, devising more ideas of how to get home.
Magic beans were off the table currently since none were here in Luceti. Magical wells and trees also were a no go. And he didn't even want to take a chance at possibly trying to contact that shadow. Sighing in frustration he looked to the window, staring out it with uncertainty. His thoughts went back to Neverland, where Pan had told him of his special heart. The heart of the truest believer that could save magic, but really was only meant to save Pan. Still, with a title like that his heart had to be special. If that was the case could he use that magic to help the people here?
His gaze turned back to his mug as he began to think it over. Perhaps that would also be a way home. Maybe he could get some to teach him how to use the magic of his heart. If all he had to do was believe in something maybe he could help make a portal home for everyone. A smile crossed his face as new hope and optimism filled him. Whether or not his own power could get everyone home or not that was to be seen. But, either way he wanted to try. All Henry wanted was to help the people he loved here in Luceti to return home.
With this feeling filling him up he knew for sure they'd find a way home. All of them.
