Hazel Velaryon

Hazel Velaryon is the secondborn child of Lord Vaemond Velaryon and Lady Laena Baratheon.

Appearance and Character
Hazel is a homely, plain child whose looks favor her mother, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. Her face is round, her chin weak, and she is prone to stoutness. Tall for a girl of her age, she is perpetually clumsy, unaware of how rapidly she's grown and tripping over her own feet because of it.

At ten, she is earnest and compliant, eager to please her parents and earn some measure of their affection. Vaemond is willing to heap this upon her without reservation, but Laena's more demanding nature leaves the relationship between mother and daughter tense.

Hazel has lived her life upon Driftmark, rarely venturing to King's Landing, and serves as a lieutenant to her older sister Laurel and a guardian to her younger siblings, Sage and Juniper. She greatly misses her grandfather, Aurane Velaryon, in whom she saw something of a kindred spirit - the both of them were poor with words, shy, and flustered by the nuances of feelings. She has a great fondness for horses, though has fallen from the saddle more than once in overeager attempts to test their limits.
