Hazel Levesque is a fictional character in The Son of Neptune, the second book of Rick Riordan's The Heros of Olympus series, where she is one of three narrators. A demigod daughter of Pluto, she resides at Camp Jupiter, a secret camp built to train Roman demigods. She was brought to Camp Jupiter by her half-brother Nico Di Angelo, a major character in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
Hazel is a demigod, daughter of Pluto (the Roman form of Hades), the god of the dead and wealth, and a mortal named Marie Levesque (more commonly called Queen Marie). Queen Marie was a fortune teller living in New Orleans before and during the first half of World War Two. She does not make a physical appearance during the books, only being remembered by Hazel in flashbacks. Nico Di Angelo and Bianca di Angelo are her half siblings on the godly side, as they are the children of Hades, the Greek form of Pluto.
Throughout the book, Hazel is shown to be bright and outgoing with a love for creativity and horseback riding. She tames Arion, the immortal horse son of Demeter (the Greek form of Ceres) and Poseidan(the Greek form of Neptune) - a feat not even the Amazons could do. Hazel has a dislike for boating and curses, and she is somewhat secretive, due to her past and her apparent "curse". Hazel states that it would not take much to make her bitter like her mother.
She is described as being African American, with long, curly cinnamon brown colored hair and hazel golden eyes which look like fifteen karat gold. She is marked with a glyph, the letters SPQR, and one stripe for the one year of service that she got only a few weeks before Percy arrived. Leo and Frank consider her to be very pretty; while Percy states that Hazel's mother looks just like Hazel, saying Marie Levesque was "beautiful." Those who see her find as confident and say that she stands tall.
Hazel's love interest is Frank Zhang, a son of Mars, (the Roman form of Ares) and a descendent of Poseidan, the Greek god of the sea, and the Greek form of Neptune. It is described that, in the beginning of the book, "Hazel's heart did a little two-step." Hazel kisses him towards the end of the book.
Hazel's first boyfriend was Sammy Valdez, a childhood friend from New Orleans. It was stated by the judges of the Underworld, that if Hazel had lived, she would have married him. Gaia tells her that Sammy eventually grew up, married, and moved to Texas; however he never forgot her. Hazel is led to believe that he died of a heart attack in the 1960's. When Percy, Frank, and Hazel meet Leo Valdez, a main character of the The Lost Hero he looks and talks exactly like Sammy, and it is implied that he is Sammy's great-grandson. In The Mark Of Athena, Hazel and Leo share a flashback, while holding hands, and it is confirmed that Leo is his great grandson and that Sammy did not die in the nineteen sixties. In the flashback, Sammy is holding baby Leo and declares that one day Leo and Hazel will meet. When Leo and Hazel awake from sharing the flashback, Coach Hedge noticed them "holding hands and staring into each other's eyes for so long," and announces it so Frank overhears. Frank becomes angry, and is quite jealous of Leo throughout the book. But Leo explains to him that he is not trying to steal "Frank's girl." Leo thinks Hazel is beautiful, and they also hold hands accidentally on a boulder. Hazel's feelings about him seem confused, and are yet to be known, as she did not have a point of view in The Mark of Athena.
