Canon: Percy Jackson and the Olympians / Heroes of Olympus
Character: Hazel Levesque
Timeline: Before the start of Son of Neptune
Personality:
The most defining trait of Hazel Levesque is her courage. Several characters throughout the course of the novel recollect on the amount the young girl shows. Percy says she shows no fear even when facing the place where she died, but she isn’t fearless. Hazel has just learned and experienced enough in her lifetime to take things as they are, to not stop when she’s afraid. There are things that are far too important to constantly be afraid. She’d been afraid to stand up to her mother/Gaea, and look where it got her? Defying Gaea had been her final move and since then she’s tried desperately not to submit to that fear, which in turn became courage.
One of the most interesting aspects of Hazel is her accepting personality. Despite the era she grew up in and the things she has been through in her lifetime, Hazel does not fear what is different. If she believes in a little in something she will help it, despite the costs. We see this first when Percy shows up at Camp Jupiter and she’s the one that steps him and takes claim on his behavior, knowing full well if he mucked up it’d be her life. It is almost as if the fact that others never accepted her makes her want to find the good in people so not as to hurt them in the way she had been.
Despite her accepting nature, however, Hazel can be wary and rightfully so. People have betrayed and used her, but on the same vein she’s also met people who’ve saved her. Hazel is not open when she first meets people and keeps secrets from even those she is closest to. It can take her a while to warm up to a person, but once she does she creates close, firm bonds. And, although she may be wary, she does not act suspicious or aloof to the person. She will stand by them, talk, or smile until they give her reason not to. For this, Hazel is a person who feels strongly about what is just and what is wrong. Hazel has a strong sense of morality and it stems from how her first life led and the time period she came from. She firmly believes in what she finds just and, if need be, will put herself in a position where she may have the worst of it if she believes the person innocent.
Hazel’s died once before and for this she sees her life as a second chance, but despite it she also realizes that some things are too important to ignore. She realizes that, no matter what, her life can be ripped from her at any time given the fact she’s escaped, but it doesn’t stop her. In fact, Hazel faces the idea of being sent to the Underworld again with courage. She may still wish to live, but it does not stop her from doing what she believes is right. She’s long since realized that life is too valuable to waste by not taking chances.
Because of the curse on her and her mother’s words, Hazel feels she is a poisoned child. People have been hurt or died because of her abilities and what Gaea made her do. She’s terrified of hurting people when she doesn’t mean to with these things, constantly putting herself in the way of them. While, it does not overwhelm her all the time, it’s a constant thought in her mind especially when her powers shows itself and the metals appear from beneath the Earth’s surface.
Yet, despite her curse and her feeling of being poisoned her father’s given her hope. The one time she met him he told her a child of Neptune may one day be able to free her from her curse, and from that day on she’s believe it (which, in a way, shows her trusting nature). She hopes she can be freed from her curse, hopes she can continue living, hopes Percy will be reunited with Annabeth, and eventually hopes Frank gets to keep living too. Despite all that she’s been through, she hasn’t given up on these hopes or the trust she has in people. This shows an important amount of strength within here, seeing as not many could go through all these things and still believe the same.
Although she is the youngest of the group, Hazel is the one that keeps calm and is the most maternal. When Percy and Frank both go down and out, Hazel is the one that comforts them (even when heading back to the place she died). She’s learned to channel her fears and take the best of things she can, even when things are at their worst. It’s why a simple day with Sammy and a cupcake were the best things in the world to her and still give her strength, because they were. She takes care of the group and keeps them together.
Hazel is still a child no matter how strong and stoic she may come off. She still likes laughing, teasing, and just goofing around. She may have faced a lot in her life, but she values her friends as well as the times they have together when they do not have to fight. She’s had her life taken away before-a life she has been shown what it might have been-and she refuses to not live what time she has now to its fullest. She’s not the same little girl she was when she left New Orleans, but the way she cared and laughed with Sammy has not changed. Hazel has had to give up a lot of things, but she has not given up her heart.
Background:
Marie Levesque always wanted to be wealthy; it was the woman’s ultimate goal. One day, she decided to try and make herself become wealthy by calling spirits to heed her wishes. In doing so she ended up summoning the Roman God of the Underworld, Pluto. Pluto courted her for a time and Marie soon became impregnated, but the child within her would be born cursed for her mother’s selfish wishes.
On the 17th of December 1928, Hazel Levesque was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. As a child she grew up in a conflicted America-one where racial segregation, the Great Depression, and the beginning of World War II were prominent. Despite racial discord, Hazel’s younger years were spent in prosperity as the gifts she inherited from her father made its appearance: without trying Hazel could get precious metals to appear from within the Earth. This, it turned out, was what her mother was looking for and she used it for her advantage. The small family ate well the first time Marie sold her daughter’s first precious jewel and the effects of Hazel’s powers would not be seen for several weeks.
In time, however, odd things would happen to the people that bought up the wares. Accidents and death became common and rumors started fluttering about New Orleans. It turned out if anyone else but Hazel touched the things summoned they would become cursed, often to the point of death. The people began distrusting Marie, who in turn took her anger out on her daughter. Aside from her mother’s harsh behavior to the daughter who brought her faux wealth, Hazel’s own classmates at the school treated her just as badly. Except for one who would become a key player in her story, Sammy Valdez.
Hazel loved Sammy he was both her best friend and the boy she liked. It was on her thirteenth birthday, the day Sammy gave her a cupcake and a kiss on the cheek, that Hazel’s life would be turned upside down. Marie was already awful, but there were times Hazel had been certain she heard other, much angrier voices that sounded nothing like her mother emitting from the woman. After returning home from her day with Sammy, Hazel had been met with another of her mother’s fits and it was the worst of them yet. As her mother recited in that evil, looming voice that Hazel was a ‘poisoned child’ and her mother’s agreed, Hazel ran.
She was stopped by none other than her father’s cold hands and features. This was the first time she met her father who did no more than tell her she had right to hate him and gave her a sketchpad and pencils (telling her she would have to find a horse on her own). Hazel was angry at this man who left and acted in such a way, as if this simple gesture on her birthday would fix everything, but didn’t have time to think on it when he breezed past her into the house where he proceeded to speak to her mother. Her parents rowed, Pluto seemed bent on protecting the two as he told his former lover to not go to Alaska. Alaska was a place beyond the gods, he could not protect them there, but Marie did not listen. Her father left soon after this argument and Marie set them on their way to Alaska quickly.
Hazel never got a chance to say good bye to Sammy and Alaska only brought her strife. Over the following months her mother would go worse until the voice completely took her over during the night time hours. This voice, of course, was Gaea: the earth itself. Gaea wanted to use Hazel to bring one of her earthborn children, the Giant Alyconeus. Every evening Hazel would be forced to take her possessed mother to an island off the shore of the town she was living in and use her powers. Each night she’d collect the precious metals that formed Alyconeus-until, that was, the last night.
She realized much too late that Gaea had won that night, but it did not stop Hazel. Gaea had been sucking away her mother’s energy by possessing her and Hazel had realized she was creating this awful creature. Watching her mother nearly die was the final straw and she defied Gaea. Using up all the strength she had, she destroyed the creature she had been building for months. Hazel did not completely destroy the giant, but she did prevent its return to earth for nearly fifty years. In stopping it, Hazel died along with her mother, but she did not mind. That is until the Fates that decided where a person went after death tried sending her mother to the plains of eternal suffering while offering Hazel the hero’s after life. Hazel rejected them saying her mother did not deserve a life there when Gaea possessed her. Hazel took the blame for the almost rebirth of Alyconeus and, unlike other’s that died, when she was sent to her punishment she remembered her life before.
Hazel wandered the Fields of Asphodel for seventy years until Nico di Angelo, her half-brother, found her and brought her back into the world of the living as the Doors of Death had been left opened.
The eight months after her rebirth aren’t given in full detail, but from notations we can determine this: At some point she found herself at Wolf House, the place where Roman demigods end up, and there Lupa and her wolves tried her to see if she was a new pup or food. Hazel would be “raised” by Lupa and her wolves for some time before being sent south to find Camp Jupiter. Upon surviving the trip to California, she once more had to be told if she would live or die by the camp oracle, Octavian. Once deemed worthy of being a potential Roman centurion, Hazel was taken in by the Fifth Cohort within the Legion.
Hazel did not become a full-fledged Roman officer until six week before The Son of Neptune begins, and only did after she performed an act of valor. She had saved Dakota from being trampled by a herd of unicorn, but Hazel does not consider this an act of valor as she only wanted to protect said unicorns. Sometime during these eight months she befriends Jason Grace, one of the praetors of the camp, who disappears shortly into their friendship. Octavian, almost immediately after Jason’s disappearance, starts campaigning for his position and finds out Hazel’s secret and tries to use it against her. Finally, six weeks before the story begins, Frank Zhang appears at Camp Jupiter and Hazel both befriends and starts crushing on him (despite trying to resist him).
Abilities/Additional Notes:
Hazel is a demigod which, in the Percy Jackson series, is not as almighty as some might think. While it’s true she is one of the children of the “oldest Gods” and that gives her a bit of a power boost, she is still very much vulnerable. First and foremost, demigods can be killed by both mortal and immortal weapons which make them more vulnerable than Gods and mortals. Their godly blood allows them to see through the “mist”, or a sense of illusion that keeps mortals from seeing Godly and monster deeds, though they must be trained to see this.
Most demigods are also born with dyslexia and ADHD. The dyslexia, depending on the version of their parents, allows them to read Greek or Roman with ease as they are “hardwired” to do so; as Hazel’s father is Pluto, she is able to read and speak Latin without having learned it. The ADHD is their battle ready instincts; it’s what keeps them alive in a fight. Their ADHD is near godly, as seen with Percy in his battle with Ares, and allows them to see almost everything at once (but only when they’re in a dangerous fight). Their ADHD is said to be "seeing too much, not seeing too little" and is likely what lets them see through the mist.
Some demigods are born with powers that represent their parents and Hazel is no exception. While her half-brother, Nico, gets the death side of her father’s regime, Hazel has the wealth. Without even trying, Hazel is capable of bringing precious metals from inside the earth itself. She doesn’t have to think about it, they find her, and when they appear they are dangerous to those that touch them that aren’t her or her father (her horse is able to eat them, but it’s never explained why). If Hazel tries to use her powers, she can summon more, but more often than not she refuses to if she can.
Another part of her power, is that she able is to create tunnels underneath her or change the paths of the ones below her, the Earth moves for her. Her brother isn’t shown to have this ability, but both have some control over their Earth. They are able to create earthquakes and shift the Earth in minor ways (in one part of the novel, Hazel summons a mound of rock to save her from wheat deities).
Aside from her abilities, Hazel is a deity in the Underworld. If a person can sense it they can tell she has died and that she has a connection to the God of Death. Her Godly blood, or ichor, also allows her to be able to drink small doses of the drink of the Gods to heal, although if she has too much she will disintegrate. Otherwise, said ichor, is what makes monsters and deities realize what she is and summons them if she’s out in the open or using any form of technology (for demigods, using a cellphone is like putting up a “HEY! I’M RIGHT HERE! COME AND GET ME!” signal for miles around).
**It's also important to note that because of Hazel's rebirth she has "blackouts" from time-to-time. These blackouts cause her to relive her past. As she's being taken pre-canon, she still has a part of her past to go through again before these will end (when Frank joins her as she relives to present time the blackouts end).
Sample Journal Post:
It’s difficult to believe it’s been two weeks since I’ve arrived here. Thank you to everyone who helped me then, I’d probably still be lost without everyone who did.
[A pause before she continues.] I would like to help out if I can. Where I’m from, we were taught to fight and build efficiently. [Treading carefully now, seeing as one can’t give up coming from a military camp.] If someone would be willing to help me, I could start work on repairing some of the buildings for newcomers to use. I have not had to hunt for food in months, but maybe I can be useful there, too, with winter coming upon us. I won’t say I’m very good at it, though, I got lucky I did most times before.
[There’s a brief second of silence as the young girl quiets before going again.] If there’s anyone here who has a weapon they are not using, I was wondering if they would mind if I ask for it. I prefer a spatha normally, but we can’t be picky here.
--Did I do it right? [It’s obvious she’s talking to herself as she fiddles with the PCD.] Frank only mentioned cellphones before, I’m not su-[But it cuts off as it seems she’s found the off button just fine. ]
Sample RP:
Hazel took a breath, legs outstretched before her as she leaned back on her arms. The sun was setting and she’d found herself atop her father’s shrine once more. Meeting here, at the worship place for Pluto, was customary when her half-brother wandered into the Roman Camp. She could feel him beside her, but didn’t look. They’d never felt much of a need to talk or feel, in a way this silence worked best for them. Still, Hazel didn’t quite have an acceptance of her apparent half-brother.
She knew she loved him; of course she did, even if the idea came off as odd. It wasn’t even that he had given her a second chance that she did, Nico was her brother and that was that. He was odd and the members of Camp Jupiter disliked when he appeared, but Hazel didn’t mind. Nico was her family, the only part she felt she had left since returning from the Underworld. And, in a way, she wanted to be a sister to him-especially as the whole reason he had found her was the fact that he had been in search of his sister. His real sister.
Her stomach recoiled and for the first time they had come up here she chanced a glance at him. They were so different in appearance, he was far more like their father, and he was odd… But like with so many things in her life she accepted him and was curious. He knew so much more than she did and it felt like he was hiding even more than that, it made meetings like this turn her mind to turmoil. She wanted to ask so< much, but it felt he disappeared before she could ask much of anything.
Which was why, perhaps, she took her chances. Swallowing, she spoke up, “Nico?” She waited, as she knew by now that it sometimes took a while for Nico to indulge her, but when he looked at her and nodded she continued. “Dad’s palace,” she started, “I’ve only seen it. What’s it like?” Nico eased a little, having expected a worse question than that, and returned to watching the sunset. She didn’t have long to wait before he decided it was an alright topic to talk about and she found herself relaxing as well. Hazel allowed the small traces of a smile to envelop her features as Nico went on. She really did simply enjoy moments like this with her brother.

They’d never felt much of a need to talk or feel, in a way this silence worked best for them. Still, Hazel didn’t quite have an acceptance of her apparent half-brother.
She knew she loved him; of course she did, even if the idea came off as odd. It wasn’t even that he had given her a second chance that she did, Nico was her brother and that was that. He was odd and the members of Camp Jupiter disliked when he appeared, but Hazel didn’t mind. Nico was her family, the only part she felt she had left since returning from the Underworld. And, in a way, she wanted to be a sister to him-especially as the whole reason he had found her was the fact that he had been in search of his sister. His real sister.
Her stomach recoiled and for the first time they had come up here she chanced a glance at him. They were so different in appearance, he was far more like their father, and he was odd… But like with so many things in her life she accepted him and was curious. He knew so much more than she did and it felt like he was hiding even more than that, it made meetings like this turn her mind to turmoil. She wanted to ask so< much, but it felt he disappeared before she could ask much of anything.
Which was why, perhaps, she took her chances. Swallowing, she spoke up, “Nico?” She waited, as she knew by now that it sometimes took a while for Nico to indulge her, but when he looked at her and nodded she continued. “Dad’s palace,” she started, “I’ve only seen it. What’s it like?” Nico eased a little, having expected a worse question than that, and returned to watching the sunset. She didn’t have long to wait before he decided it was an alright topic to talk about and she found herself relaxing as well. Hazel allowed the small traces of a smile to envelop her features as Nico went on. She really did simply enjoy moments like this with her brother.
