Hazel for the win, all day, every day. Why?

'''1. Hazel is a girl who can do swordplay, magic, and summon metals. '''She could use the Mist to drive people insane, stab them, OR drown them in a flood of metals. Hazel has options.

'''2. If Hazel's ever in trouble, she can call Arion to trample Piper into dust. '''Now she has even more options.

'''3. It mentions in one of the books that Hazel helps Piper practice swordplay. '''She's already good enough to be her teacher, so a fight? No question that Hazel would win. It's like if you had a spelling bee with your language arts teacher.

'''4. Charmspeak generally works on people of the opposite gender who don't know the user is using charmspeak and have a sort of affection for them. Hazel knows of Piper's charmspeaking abilities, and they are the same gender. '''Did I mention that Hazel's WAY too awesome to fall for some sweet-talk?

'''5. She can manipulate the Mist, and do magic. Like real magic. '''Piper's charmspeak is a lame excuse for magic.

'''Let's not forget that Hazel sacrificed herself in her previous life, died, and came back from the Underworld. And then she quickly adapted to her new life IN A NEW CENTURY. That's pretty epic. '''This girl has seen it all. Period.

I rest my case.
