Appearance
Character creator picture to the side in case I don't describe her right, and I plan on editing it as soon as I am able. Dark skin, and white hair. Dull green eyes. Rarely has a smile on her face. Hazel could be described as 'average' when it comes to looks; Not ugly, not attractive, by her standards, anyway. Doesn't wear makeup, and keeps her hair in a loose ponytail. She wears a jacket that her mother used to own; Checkered brown, a holster over it, in which her weapon sits when in it's revolver form. Underneath, on her left side, are nasty scars, healed but still visible. Hazel's left arm and leg are completely prosthetic, after she lost them as a child. She refused artificial skin over them, leaving them a gleaming silver. They're simply designed, silver parts with dark grey joints, and dark lines along her fingers where they bend. Made of a slightly malleable metal, they aren't quite as effective as a shield, but since she can't feel anything her prosthetics do, they can be used to take damage that would otherwise cause her severe pain.

Hazel wears light brown pants, and black boots, with two belts; One for her pants and weapon, the other for one or two pouches she keeps various odds and ends in.

She has a clip on her belt where she keeps her Rapier, with a quick release so she can leap into battle at any time when it's in it's sword form.

Personality
Hazel describes herself as average. She knows she's not the 'chosen one', or someone destined to rule the world. She's just a girl, with a sword at her belt, and two limbs made of metal, who wants to be a huntress, and protect those who need it. Likes to talk, but won't often be seen revealing the few secrets she has without some sort of coercion, or a large level of trust. Due to her team, she's hardly one to judge, and is willing to strike up a chat with anyone she bumps into, or anyone who says hello; Although the chances of someone approaching her aren't exactly high, as she usually keeps a neutral face on, and is usually seen with her head in a book.

Has loved reading since she was a child, is glad to talk about any books someone has read with them. Is very hard to anger, but when she does get angry, she won't hesitate to slam one's face into a wall. Despite carrying her weapon in a way that allows easy access, she only uses it when she feels she needs to, or when facing an animal. She'd rather talk to a person than run them through, or get hurt herself.

As said, she describes herself as average. Nothing special. She doesn't have an overly high opinion of herself, or overly low opinion of herself. Her goals are to become a huntress, and to find her mother.

Weapons and Abilities
Hazel's weapon of choice is a revolver/rapier, that once belonged to her mother. As with her personality, she recognises it isn't as special as other weapons, but it works for her. While her aim isn't amazing with her gun, years of ballet taught her the grace and flexibility with which to use her Rapier as effectively as possible. Prefers to use the revolver for intimidation, suppressive fire, or close range execution.

Hazel's abilities are varied, but simple. Due to her prosthetics, she needed to do physical therapy in which to get used to them as she had with her original arm and leg; She chose ballet, and was very skilled at it, something she adapted to her fighting style.

A speed reader, Hazel takes in written information very quickly, although when it comes to speech, sometimes she can miss things, as her hearing isn't amazing; Her eyesight is a little better to compensate.

Not the best talker in the world; Hazel couldn't talk a Grimm out of eating a baby, but she could talk someone off a ledge, or talk a challenger out of a fight. Not amazing with a gun, but she makes up for it with her swordplay. Horrible cook, and horrible mechanic. She solves any issues with her prosthetics by hitting them very hard, something they suffer for.

Backstory
Hazel Capulus, born in Atlas, grew up with a sister, mother and father as a Huntress, and, as a result, was desperate to be one herself. That is, until she was ten, when she decided she'd try and be one of the legendary heroes she read about, and take down a Beowolf. She left a note for her parents, a note which, in fact, saved her life. The Beowolf she found tore her apart, and ruined her left side. Her parents slew the creature, and rushed her to a hospital. She barely survived, and had to have her left arm and leg amputated.

A mechanic friend of her parents, upon hearing about the incident, immediately set about building her prosthetic limbs.

While in the hospital, recovering, Hazel met Cinnabar, a faunus girl who would later become her closest friend in the world, who was in to get prosthetics; For her right side, in fact. Due to her cat tail, and since she told Hazel that she hated her name, Hazel nicknamed her Kat, a name that ended up becoming used more than her given name. Hazel told her about what happened, still determined to be a hero; This is where Cinnabar told her that they were just kids, and ordinary ones at that. They weren't special, or amazing. It was sad, but if Hazel hadn't believed that, she'd still have her left side intact. This led Hazel to start thinking, and eventually, she realised the truth in Cinnabar's statement. Later, the two bonded during their physical therapy.

When she was sixteen years old, Hazel and her sister were visiting Vale when they received a broken, damaged transmission from their parents; All the two could gather from it was that something had happened, and the two needed help. It took weeks to get back due to the Vytal festival at the time, and when the two returned to their home, all they found was a charred ruin, and, after searching, the body of their father. Hazel found her mother's jacket, and weapon in the ruin, and despite her sister's arguments, refused to believe she was dead. She took to wearing the jacket and using the weapon, as the rapier was suited to her style of combat.

Hazel cut all ties in Atlas, and went straight to Vale, as a part of the transmission she had received, and recorded, mentioned Vale, so she assumed it was something to do with the place her mother had often mentioned as the place she trained to become a huntress. While there, Hazel decided to follow in her mother's footsteps, and began training to enter Beacon Academy. She made it in with three others; Sky Blue, Ebony Schwarz, and Cinnabar; As luck would have it, she was partnered with her childhood friend, who had travelled to Vale to attend Beacon, and, upon learning more about Ebony and Sky, she discovered that they were distantly related; Hazel's mother had had two sisters, Ebony and Sky's mothers.

Hazel was made the leader of her team, and continues to lead them now, while the three help her investigate her mother's disappearance.

Trivia

 * Capulus means Coffee in latin. This is a reference to the nickname Cinnabar has for her, Mocha.
 * Cinnabar was originally designed as Hazel's sister, that is why her appearance is similar; Dark skin, grey hair, green eyes, and prosthetics on her right side. But due to story, and age differences, she was changed to Hazel's best friend, and made the same age, and Holly Capulus was created.
 * Hazel originally lost her left limbs when she was on a fragile bridge, it broke, and gave her severe cuts to her left side, leading to infection that required her limbs be amputated. But that left a lot unexplained, so it was changed.
