Hazel Careon is a transgender (MtF) SBARG player and Heir of Hope. She served in the Prospitian army during the events of the session and acquired absurd quantities of Grist. Her military pension was nothing to sneeze at either, leaving her with an absurdly massive sum of Boon. (She's since had it converted to Intergalactic Federation Credits in Gene, and keeps most of her wealth in various managed investment portfolios as having all that absurd wealth accessible at any time overwhelms her.) She barely avoided being wiped out by the blast from the Giga Reset that destroyed the SBARG session and reset the timeline. She misses the members of Team Awe5ome (Becau5e We A5e Awe5omne55) that didn't make it dearly and still mourns the loss of her team leader and moirail Logan Aura. She's afraid of losing her only surviving teammate, Nick "lavenderSiren" Card, as well but feels like they might have drifted too far away. She escaped the Giga Reset field with LS and discovered the Lost Pawns Hideout together with them. They created a small community there of other players that had become homeless from their sessions, and eventually managed to sneak into Gene, the universe created by the victory of SBARGv2.

Personality wise, Hazel used to be extremely carefree in the session. However, the horrors of serving in actual Prospitian/Dersite war and the destruction of her timeline and most of the people she knew left her with a form of trauma. She appears to have depression, and will randomly go on long morbidly philosophical ramblings about her immortality and how she feels. She still puts up a carefree mask a lot of the time though, as she doesn't want to hurt and scare off what few friends she has left. She still has clearly lost a lot of her innocence regardless, and sometimes wishes she didn't have to grow up so fast. She still maintains her pure Hope that things will always turn out for the best, as well as her strong inner core of courage in the face of it all. There's still a fragment of love in her as well, although her Hope in being able to share it with someone has begun to falter.

Her fighting style is very acrobatic and dexterous, as a result of her acrobatics lessons at a young age. She fights with a modified ClawKind, sometimes called "HandandFootKind," which allows her to use claws connected to both the wrists and boots of the suit she wears. She is also capable of shooting beams of pure Hope energy from her hands due to ascending to God Tier as the Heir of Hope (she creatively refers to this power as "Hope Beams.") However, she has chosen not to rely on this ability very often because it drains her internal Hope reserves and the recharging period for her reserves is very mentally dangerous for Hazel as Hope is what keeps her internal demons at bay. The ScepterKind Strife Specibus is also in her Strife Portfolio, but its Strife Deck is empty. It appeared one day after the Giga Reset, and she has concluded it was granted to her as a field promotion by the process that controlled the Prospitan Military of SBARG. As the only surviving military ranked entity, she was granted the title of Acting White King and ScepterKind by extension. But, since she doesn't possess her own White King's Scepter, and it was taken out of the Strife Deck by the Black King before it ended up in her hands, she is unable to use the Specibus in battle... outside of Dream Bubbles anyway. She still prefers her Claws though, so she only resorts to pulling her rank in the most vital of circumstances. She has only thought it fit to use in a battle against Hatred, where she summoned a memory of Her Rightful Scepter into her hand to summon and lead a memory of Her Beloved Comrades in the battle. It did not prototype her with the powers of the SBARG session during this event. It's unknown if this was because she deactivated the prototyping, the Scepter only working on Prospitians/Deserites, or a NULL being returned by Paradox Space when it tried to look up the SBARG session prototypes.

Hazel has the appearance of an 18-year-old girl thanks to Katie helping her change the body she was stuck with after achieving God Tier. She has a skinny but muscular body, due to her military service and her acrobatic way of Strifing. Her eyes are piercing lime green, and her brown hair is a messy military cut with a bad case of helmet hair. Her body's "assets" are on the small side, noticeable enough that she is confidently seen as a woman but clearly kept small to avoid getting in the way of her fighting style. She's short, only a bit above 5 feet tall, which she likes as "It helps me fit into the small spaces I need to crawl through." She is almost always clad in her armor, which is an Iron Man suit modified with feline features and her hot-swapable claws. The suit also has "core chips" which can be changed to give different passive effects to Hazel, as well as changing the appearance of the suit in various ways. For instance, when set to MilServ mode, the armor is made of a bright shiny Prospitium and takes additional design cues from medival knight armor. (See the description in this forum post for further details on MilServ mode.) However, generally, her armor has the futuristic Iron Man-esque appearance which includes various clear tubes running around it showing the energy of the current core chip. She rarely removes her helmet and often keeps her visor down as well which obscures her face. Her armor is also where her assistant strategist, an AI named *Not_Jarvis, lives and runs. He helps her in many various ways, including translating languages and providing useful information on her visor's HUD.

Hazel's powers include her already mentioned Hope beams and internal reserves of Hope, as well as greatly enhanced flexibility and senses due to The Choice she made with her denizen. The most important thing bestowed upon her by The Choice, however, is a Persona known as The Spirit of The Hunt. Her Persona cranks her already over-cranked senses up to 15 (out of 10) and has incredible teamwork and leadership ability, with the tradeoff being the brash militaristic ego of The Spirit of The Hunt often taunting and flaring up enemies or anyone else Spirit doesn't see as a comrade in arms. Hazel also has the power to share her Hope and courage with people through skin contact, but keeping someone who needs it supplied without contact requires external means like Thoren's Heart Container. Last, but certainly not least, is Hazel's absurdly high Imagination level. This stat controls the power someone can exert over a Dream Bubble to summon or change things within it, and Hazel's power is almost completely unmatched.
