Name: Hazel Age: 15

Background: A meek, soft-spoken, and timid girl who's attending the first year of high school. Hazel is an introvert who has always struggled to socialize with her peers. Because of her personality and her plump body, she has always been the target of bullying at school, although never to the same extent that she is facing now. Hazel is currently being targeted by two girls, both from the same year and class as her. Kendra and Leah are two popular girls who have made tormenting Hazel into their hobby. Hazel has lived with bullying, mean comments, and micro-aggressions throughout her life, but nothing like what she's undergoing these days. Objects are stolen from her locker and desk, and she gets cornered when going into the bathroom during breaks. The bullying, which started as just namecalling and pushing, turned into more physical forms of assault. Hazel has had her hair pulled, uniform ripped, and even shocked with a taser so far.

Relationship with Leah: One of the popular girls in the same class as Hazel. She likes to bark others around and enjoys it when people go along with what she wants. Leah is one of the girls that bullies Hazel. The way Leah operates is by walking up to Hazel and demanding that she follow her into secluded areas, where Hazel can be criticized, harassed, and bullied away from other people's eyes. During one such occasion, Hazel got a taste of Leah's self-defense taser, which she has since learned to fear. Leah is a white girl with shoulder-length red hair, blue eyes, and freckles. Shorter than most girls and with small breasts.

Relationship with Kendra: Another of the popular girls in Hazel's class that also bullies Hazel relentlessly. Different from Leah, Kendra likes to ambush Hazel inside of the school, particularly in the restroom. Kendra sometimes will say that Hazel's hair and body look good while simultaneously criticizing her for wasting these good graces by being so pathetically unsightly. She particularly likes to pull on Hazel's hair. The band-aid on Hazel's face is covering a small cut she received from Kendra's fingernails. Kendra is a black teenage girl from the same class as Leah, with purple dreadlocks, who likes to speak in Ebonics.

Family: Hazel has been raised by her single father ever since her mother left to be with another man. She loves her dad, but he's an absent figure who works late most days. Hazel's father owns several firearms. He has taught her how to shoot, and she knows the combination that opens the safe where they are stored. On bad days, when the bullying and loneliness are really bad, Hazel's mind wanders into dark places, such as imagining herself unleashing justice on her tormentors and the bystanders who didn't stand up to her, using one of her father's rifles. Such thoughts have remained within the realm of imagination so far...

Personality: Meek, introverted, passive, shy, and insecure. Hazel has never once enjoyed going to school because her experience in life has been nothing but being looked down upon by others. The few friends she had in middle school all ended up going to other schools, so now Hazel is all alone when her suffering is at its peak. During her private time at home. Hazel helps with the cleaning and cooking. Her father is often too tired to do any of it when he's home. She likes drawing but, because of her low self-esteem, she doesn't believe her work to be any good.

Social Media: Hazel has an account on X where she posts her art under the name 'Nutellarts', which is a reference to her name. She doesn't post her face and has never told anybody in real life about her art account. Sometimes, Hazel posts about her bullying online and is usually met with responses saying that she needs to seek help or to stand up for herself, which she doesn't find to be terribly helpful advice.

Appearance: Hazel is a white girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a plump body, with thicker thighs and fuller breasts than most girls her age, but is shorter than her peers. She has poor posture, which makes her seem even smaller. Her school uniform is a dark navy blue blazer with a plaid skirt and a red bowtie. Hazel has a band-aid on her face, over an injury she received recently from one of her bullies.

Setting: This story takes place in present-day America, but the specific location is purposely left vague.
