Marie moved them to Seward, Alaska, beyond the power of the gods. Her mother soon became unstable as she was possessed by Gaea and when Pluto came to protect the two, he realized he'd already lost his queen because she was too far gone. During her childhood, she had a close friend named Sammy Valdez, whom she loved, but after moving to Alaska, she never saw him again and did not get a chance to say goodbye, to her horrified dismay. It later caused her grief, as Marie began to use Hazel's unique powers (ability to raise precious jewels from the ground) for selfish reasons, while also listening to a strange Voice that directed her. She had been treated like a queen by Pluto and expected to be one in real life. Her mother's ambition to become wealthy was more like an unhealthy obsession. In The Tower of Nero, she and Frank are stated to be the best praetors that Camp Jupiter has ever had.Hazel was born to Marie Levesque and Pluto on December 17, 1928. In The Tyrant's Tomb, she and Frank team up with Apollo and Meg McCaffrey to protect Camp Jupiter from the emperors Commodus and Caligula as well as the undead king Tarquin. She is now able to summon precious metals and use and spend them without terrible consequences. This confirms something that Juno had once told Hazel: that a descendant of Poseidon would some day wash away her curse. During The Tyrant's Tomb, Hazel reveals that she has managed to break her curse with Frank, which is confirmed in The Tower of Nero. After the Second Gigantomachy, Hazel is promoted to the rank of centurion of the Fifth Cohort, succeeding her boyfriend Frank Zhang. During The House of Hades the goddess Hecate insists Hazel learn to manipulate the Mist. She is unusually knowledgeable about the Underworld because of her time there. She tames the horse Arion, who eats precious metals. She is an accomplished horse-rider and skilled with a spatha. She eventually learns to manipulate her curse, manipulating precious stones and metals and sensing structures underground. Her legion tattoo is described as looking like a cross with curved arms and a head. Hazel is described as African American, having cocoa-colored skin, curly cinnamon-brown hair, and golden eyes. Hazel and Nico are protective of each other, much as true half-siblings. With the Doors of Death open, Nico is able to take Hazel to the world of the living through them, resurrecting her and then delivers Hazel to Camp Jupiter. At some point before The Lost Hero, Nico finds Hazel in the Underworld while trying to visit Bianca, only to find she has tried for rebirth. While Hazel's spirit is being judged, she gives up the chance to go to Elysium to save her mother from punishment, and they are both sent to the Fields of Asphodel instead. When Hazel's mother changes her mind about helping Gaea, Hazel buries herself and her mother under the earth, delaying Alcyoneus's rebirth and killing them both. Hazel died after Gaea tries to use Hazel's power over earth to resurrect Alcyoneus. When she was born, Pluto offered to grant her mother a wish, but her request for wealth backfired into an ability to control precious metals and gems, which both first view as a curse. She grew up in the 1940s in New Orleans, where her mother had a gris-gris shop. It is later revealed that she has returned from the dead, assisted by her half-brother Nico. She first appears in The Son of Neptune, at Camp Jupiter. Hazel Levesque is a fourteen-year-old demigod, a daughter of Pluto and Marie Levesque. |
