"...We have to get everyone and hide somewhere. Gather the entire tribe. Tell them we're using the evacuation plan and moving out before noon. Pack lightly, if at all. Bring weapons. Try not to panic the dragonets. Tell them... tell them all is not lost, if we move swiftly. Make sure they know we can still save our queen and our friends, and that I'll tell them more once we reach safety."
— Hazel, The Poison Jungle

Template:Charbox Queen Hazel is a female LeafWing and the current queen of the LeafWings, as Queen Sequoia is currently under control by the Othermind. She is the great-granddaughter of Queen Sequoia and was first introduced in The Poison Jungle.

Appearance

Queen Hazel is a female royal LeafWing described to have large brown eyes and deft dark green claws by Sundew[1]. She can be regal when she wishes, by sitting up in a position of elegance and speaking haughtily. 

Personality

Queen Hazel is shown to have a love for reading and making books, as she was always putting together her own creations or reading the ones of others. She was also seen to be critical of the binding on the Book of Clearsight. She seems to be laid back, breezy, and a bit dorky with a cheerful sense of humor. Hazel is kind and smart, as well as a swift thinking, considerate leader.

When ordering her subjects, she puts on a "queenly posture and voice" which she practices, similar to her great-grandmother. Hence, she becomes a lot more formal and eloquent towards her subjects.

Biography

She first is seen to be sewing sheets of speckled paper together to make a book on Queen Sequoia's throne. Right after that, she is ordered off the throne by her great-grandmother and is confused about if she is allowed to talk to Sundew normally. After that, Hazel, Willow and Sundew go to see the new strangers that turn out to be Tsunami and Turtle, as well as Io. Later, the three spent the rest of the night in a pile of leaves in Hazel's room. Upon waking up, Sundew notices Hazel perched in her hammock, reading a book. She asks if they were late to see Queen Sequoia, to which Hazel responds that she will call them when she wants, going back to her book. Moments later Willow asks if Hazel wanted to come with her and Sundew to take breakfast to the visitors, but Hazel declines, saying that she is at a really good part in her book. The next time Hazel is seen is while Sundew and Willow are visiting Tsunami and Turtle. She had poked her head into the room and asked them if they could hear the roaring of Commander Belladonna. Hazel witnesses Queen Sequoia's telling of the Legend of the Hive. She is horrified and wants to fight with the other LeafWings. Sequoia puts her in charge of the SapWings while she goes to war, not wanting to lose her great-granddaughter. After Sundew, Willow, Mandrake, Nettle and Bumblebee return from the Eye of the Jungle with the "Heart of Salvation", Hazel feeds the root to Inchworm. When it seems to work, she sends Sundew, Willow and Mandrake back to Queen Sequoia, who is preparing for war. The next time Hazel is seen, The Othermind has been revealed as an antagonist. Hazel uncovers Clearsight's map to Pyrrhia. She is now the new queen of the LeafWings and leading them across the chain of islands leading to Pyrrhia.

Relationships

She has a very close bond to her great-grandmother, seeing her as a kind of motherly figure. She takes after Sequoia when addressing her subjects and giving them order, showing that Hazel looks up to her great-grandmother, and thinks of her as a good queen.

Hazel is quite close to Willow, so close that Sundew even worried that Willow might have feelings for the princess, but Willow assured Sundew that they were just friends.


Since Sundew and Hazel have only met each other recently, but Sundew is thought to think kindly about the queen, and it is thought Hazel does also.

Quotes

"Hello! I'm Hazel-- sorry, you know that. I hear about you all the time! Belladonna thinks you should be queen instead of me; do you think so, too? She's so scary! Sorry, I know she's your mom. Ack, I'm saying all the wrong things. [...] Welcome to the LeafWing village. We are delighted you could join us. Tea?"
― to Sundew (The Poison Jungle)

"I'm at a really good part [in my book], [...] You know Great-Grandma usually never leaves me alone for this long, so I want to take advantage of it while I can."
― to Willow (The Poison Jungle)

"I would think we'd need more than this, [...] What if we plant a few of these and get our most powerful leafspeakers to grow them as quickly as possible, so we'll have as much as we need?"
(The Poison Jungle)

"So... we have to get everyone and hide somewhere, [...] Gather the entire tribe. Tell them we're using the evacuation plan and moving out before noon. Pack lightly, if at all. Bring weapons. Try not to panic the dragonets. Tell them... tell them all is not lost, if we move swiftly. Make sure they know we can still save our queen and our friends, and that I'll tell them more once we reach safety."
(The Poison Jungle)

"Well, look at how the back cover is thicker than the front cover. That's just messy. The end pages are sewn down with these perfect little stitches-- it looks like gold thread, but maybe it's flamesilk, the kind that doesn't burn? So someone put all this effort into perfectly sewing down the endpapers around the edges, but left the middle all lumpy."
― criticizing the Book of Clearsight (The Poison Jungle)

"Get everyone to the coast, [...] We'll gather on the north shore of the mouth of the Gullet River. Use the evacuation plan-- everyone was assigned to a trio, and all the dragonets and elders have someone responsible for them. Tell them to go right now. [...] Draw faster, dragon from across the sea."
(The Poison Jungle)
