GENERAL HISTORY
Suspiciously surrendered to a muggle orphanage at a young age, Hazel Elise Caelum grew up in foster care with a clouded past. Her pureblood parents, Aurora and Phaethon Caelum, left her with half a name and no record of her magical abilities, and then disappeared into the night. Raised as Hazel Elise by her adoptive mother, the young girl thought nothing of her legacy, talents, or her name.

She was subjected to less than desirable conditions as her single mother worked several jobs at a time in the diners and stores of South Kensington, England to keep them afloat. The two didn't have a loving relationship, and Hazel was frequently left alone to cook her own meals and take care of herself in their cramped townhouse. Every so often, a couple days would pass where her mother didn't return home at all.

Hazel's first experience with magic happened at age three, coincidentally was when her mother was out of the room: in a characteristic burst of happiness, Hazel's favorite toy levitated several inches off the ground. Other instances came later in her childhood - such as a kitchen spoon flying across the room and the paper flipping pages on their own - but Hazel chalked them up to coincidences and put them out of her mind. Conveniently, her mother was gone for most of these moments.

PERSONA
Generally depicted as a ray of sunshine, Hazel is an amicable, happy-go-lucky person. She's not extroverted by any means, but if she's approached, she'll respond with a smile. Hazel's time caring for herself has made her self-reliant and patient, albeit a little hesitant to trust. She's loyal and hardworking, willing to do the most for the people closest to her, and she's enthusiastic about nearly everything.

On the flip side, this little light has a bit of an explosive temper - at her age, she's still learning to work with it, but in the meantime, watch out. Hazel also has a bad habit of taking things a little too personally, and bearing the guilt on her own; she is unwilling to burden other people with her problems.

APPEARANCE
Even as a young girl, Hazel's build is short, as her age predates her growth. Stepping into the dawn of puberty, she is at the point where her hips and chest have begun to develop in an awkward imbalance. Her skin, a creamy brown, is spattered with sun-kissed freckles from summers in the streets and parks. Her hair is a halo of tight cinnamon curls that frame her round face, which is usually tied up with a scarf or down.
