context_page_description: The following is a list of characters from Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' epic space opera/fantasy comic book series Saga, which debuted in 2012 by Image Comics. It depicts a husband and wife from long-warring extraterrestrial races, Alana and Marko, fleeing authorities from both sides of a galactic war as they struggle to care for their newborn daughter, Hazel, who occasionally narrates the series. In the series, each issue is referred to as a Chapter, and each story arc, which consists of usually six Chapters, is referred to as a Volume.
context_section_description: First appearance: Chapter 1
  Alana and Marko's daughter, born on the planet Cleave in the first issue, who occasionally narrates the series. She has wings like her mother, horns like her father, and green-brown eyes unlike those of either of her parents. Conceived following a fight between her parents, she was named after the librarian who first recommended the work of D. Oswald Heist to Alana. She spends most of her childhood growing up in the organic tree-like rocketship with which she and her parents escape Cleave. She is seen taking her first steps at the end of Volume Three, and is speaking in simple phrases by the beginning of Volume Four.
  During her life on Gardenia, she has a doll named Ponk Konk. After she and the family are kidnapped by Dengo, Marko keeps it with him while he searches for them. Barr made Hazel a winter coat when she was a baby, which she wears in Volume 5. Hazel always hated romantic comedies. As an adult, she still has a scrap of the garment Barr created shortly after meeting her and Alana, and uses it as a bookmark. She says that although many men have pursued her during her life as a fugitive, only one ever broke her heart.
  After Hazel, her mother and grandmother are kidnapped by Dengo, it was years before she would see her father again. When Dengo contacts the Fourth Cell of the Last Revolution, the cell's captain, Quain, makes a deal with one of the two governments to free a thousand of the Revolution's members in exchange for Hazel, but Dengo has a change of heart and kills Quain before this can happen. Hazel then ends up on a Coalition detention center with her grandmother and Lexis, where she befriends her teacher Colleen and a fellow inmate called Petrichor.
  Brian K. Vaughan has stated that while time works a bit differently in the Saga universe than it does in real life, Hazel is roughly 19 Earth months old as of Chapter 19. She has taken her first steps by Chapter 18, and has begun speaking by Chapter 19. In Volume 5, Hazel is speaking in more coherent, full sentences.
  Hazel's narration is hand-lettered by Fiona Staples, using her own handwriting, which is the last thing she does after finishing the artwork on a page.
