Hazel adopted Jenkins as a therapy rabbit and furry companion; he found rabbit-hopping as a stress relieving and social activity.

Appearance

• Hazel is a 6’4” (193cm) tall man with a solid muscular build with large, but gentle hands that look like he might be built for manual labor instead of the delicate archival work that he does most days. He has dark hair all over his body and while he looks like he works out, most of his working out comes from lifting and chasing after Jenkins. He has gray green eyes that are like storm clouds reflecting over a murky sea. His eyebrows are full and his eyes are bright with amusement, intelligence, and warmth. He has freckles that dust over his nose and cheeks and a perpetual five’o’clock shadow that dusts his cheek. His wavy hair is medium length and he’s constantly pushing it back from where it falls over his round-frame glasses. He is a big fan of semi-permanent hair dye and will frequently change his hair color on a whim - he has had it red, orange (never again), teal, blue, green, and purple; currently his hair is a mix of burgundy and a magenta color. He generally has a serious expression, but when he smiles, it’s like the sun bursting through the clouds.
• Other: Hazel always wears a variety of rings and an assortment of jewelry, including necklaces, a wallet chain, a leather wristband, ear piercings, septum piercing, and an eyebrow piercing. He also has six star tattoos behind one of his ears for each pet that has died in his past.
• Scent: Hazel smells like fresh timothy hay, plain cheerios, and his spiced but clean soap.

Attire

• Typical: When working, Hazel wears clean and fitted jeans with a wallet chain and Hazel’s leash attached to the belt loops with a plain t-shirt underneath a heavy cardigan with leather elbow patches, and heavy boots in case he needs to go out ‘in the field’ (usually someone’s basement, but there was that one time with the snake). Casually, Hazel wears looser fitting jeans or athleisure with a pair of sneakers or slip-on shoes, band or meme t-shirts or plain tank tops when the weather is warm, and switches between a leather jacket and cardigans depending on the weather.
• Inventory: Hazel always carries around a small plastic bag of plain cheerios in his pocket as a treat for Jenkins.

Backstory

Hazel Peters grew up in Hempholme Town as a quiet and observant boy, preferring the library to socializing. He was often teased for his size, becoming known as a "gentle giant." His grandfather gave him the nickname "Leroy" after a World of Warcraft character, which Hazel embraced as part of his nerdy identity. His teenage years were marked by a series of losses as many of his family's pets passed away, leaving him with deep emotional scars, shaping his compassionate loyal nature. To cope with his grief, he tattooed six stars behind his ear in memory of his lost companions. Hazel started expressing himself through piercings and hair dye, which helped him manage anxiety and control how others viewed him.

He earned a scholarship to university, where he studied archival science and historical preservation. He excelled in research and restoration and struggled with elitist attitudes in academia. Hazel believed history belonged to everyone, showcasing his resourcefulness by fixing old documents with unconventional materials. Hazel also unknowingly displayed a flirtatious nature, using humor and genuine enthusiasm to connect with peers.

After becoming burnt out from academic politics, he returned to his hometown and took a job as the Town Archivist, where he was the sole caretaker of local history. Feeling anxious and stressed in his quiet job, he visited a shelter, where he met Jenkins, a large Flemish Giant rabbit. Jenkins quickly became his therapy animal and best friend, leading Hazel to start rabbit hopping as a new hobby. Their bond allowed Hazel to channel his energy and anxiety into training Jenkins, who in turn played a vital role in bringing joy to children at a local hospital.
