Hazel Levesque

Hazel Levesque, is one of the main protagonists in The Heroes of Olympus and one of the seven heroes in the Second Great Prophecy. She is a demigod daughter of Pluto.

History
Hazel was born to Marie Levesque and Pluto in December 17, 1928. Her mother's ambition to become wealthy later caused her grief, as Marie began to use Hazel's unique powers to selfish reasons. During her childhood, she had a close friend named Sammy Valdez whom she loved, but never saw again. Her mother became unstable because she was possessed by the Gaea and when Pluto came to protect them, he'd realized he'd lost her forever. Marie moved them Seward, Alaska, beyond the power of the gods.

It was there that Hazel was by Gaea to raise one of her giant sons, Alcyoneus, using the precious metals that were beneath the earth on an island. Once Hazel discovered the treachery, she called down her powers and destroyed the island, killing her mother and herself in 1941, but stopping the giant who would oppose her father.

While awaiting judgement, it was decided that she and her mother would go to the Fields of Asphodel, but while there, Nico di Angelo came along and brought her back to the world of the living due to the Doors of Death. Initially, he had been there to rescue his other sister, Bianca, but discovered she had tried for rebirth.

Once Hazel was restored to life, she began experiencing "blackouts" of her horrible past. Eventually, she made it to the Wolf House and, consequently, Camp Jupiter, where she was made a guard at the entrance to the Caldecott Tunnel.

The Lost Hero
She is remembered by Jason as being one of his friends at Camp Jupiter.

The Son of Neptune
Hazel is one of the demigods at Camp Jupiter's entrance when Percy Jackson, defeated the Gorgons. She helped pull Frank Zhang out of the water after the whirlpool Percy created calmed down. After Juno formally introduced the sea demigod and disappeared, Reyna then orders Hazel to take Percy inside the camp to be questioned. Hazel then carries Percy to Octavian, who is revealed to be blackmailing her to get her vote to be a legion leader. She then shows Percy the various temples like Neptune (which is a small shed) and Pluto where she meets her brother Nico Di Angelo

She then eats dinner with Dakota, Percy and Frank before the war games (which is like capture the flag with a fortress). They then proceed to the war game where she, Frank, and Percy are the first ones to penetrate the fortress with the rest of their team following. They then capture the 'flag' and win the war game but before they can celebrate Gwen is killed. With the doors of death open Gwen quickly comes back and there is much confusion. They leave the fortress and are stopped by Mars, Roman god of war, who then claims Frank and gives him a special spear. He gives him a quest and his own written prophecy to go north to the land beyond the gods to free Thanatos. Mars picks Percy to go on the quest and Frank picks Hazel. They then go to a senate meeting to decide what to give them for the quest where she sees Nico, but due to Octavian they are given a boat and a little bit of supplies. Hazel isn't to happy about the boat but they take it.

When they get to the Camp Marina and find the small, old leaky boat which makes her fell even worse. After they get on the boat Hazel has a vision of her past. She is then woken up by Frank in Portland Oregean and the trio then go find the blind seer Phineas, son of Neptune. They find him trying to smack the Harpies with a weed whacker and he then tells them to find a red-haired Harpy named Ella. After chasing Ella around for awhile they catch her in a library and they take her to Phineas. But they had no intention to give the small harpy to the blind king. Percy gets Gaea to trick Phineas and he drinks the wrong blood and Hazel discovers the location of Alcyoneus.

They return to the boat where she has another vision. She is then woken up again and they go find Reyna's sister, Hylla, who is Queen of the Amazons. They find the lair of the Amazons, which is really a front of the online shipping company, Amazon and Percy and Frank are captured. Hazel proceeds to talk with Hylla. She asked her if the Amazons can help the camp but Queen Hylla declines because her own people are at war with each other due to the arrival of the dead Queen Otrera who has been revived by Gaea. But Hylla agreed to let Hazel and her friends go along with the horse from Hazel's past, Arion.

After escaping, she and the boys arrive at Iris, R.O.F.L.. While Hazel and Percy make a few Iris-messages Frank battles three monstrous snakes alone, allowing them to leave. Hazel and Frank then share a vision of her life in the Underworld and when she meets Nico and Frank puts his life in her hands by entrusting her with a stick that would snuff out his life. They then go north to Frank's Grandma Zhang's house.

When they arrive, the house is surrounded by Laistrygonian. They talk to his grandma and escape the giants and fly north to Alaska. They stay in Hazel's old house for awhile and take Arion to the home of the giant, Alcyoneus who is keeping Thanatos. When they get there the threesome split up, Frank frees Thanatos, Hazel takes on the giant, and Percy handles the rest.

Frank and Hazel are able to defeat Alycyoneus after they drive him to Canada.. They return to Alaska to get Percy who has the eagle of the Twelfth Legion and head back to Camp Jupiter on Arion. Upon arriving, she meets Tyson and Mrs. O'Leary. Then, she heads off into battle.

Once the monsters are defeated, Hazel goes and finds Thanatos and asks him about the escaped souls. He tells her that she is not on his list of escaped souls and believed that maybe Pluto gave her pardon so that she may do some good within the Prophecy of Seven. She also makes her feelings for Frank known and kisses him to show her affection.

Afterward, she gathers in the Forum to await the arrival of Camp Half-Blood on the Argo II.
