Hazel (XC3)

Hazel is the main protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. A young swordmaker from Sorgfalt Village in the Kleosian Empire, Hazel aspires to join the Kleosian Mercenary Guild alongside her childhood friend, Leon. When her village is attacked by Cliastine terrorists, she sets out to find the man responsible and bring him to justice.
==Appearance==
Hazel is 5' 4" and weighs 135 pounds. She has long, unkempt brown hair tied up at the top. Her complexion is somewhat fair, with the exception of a birthmark over her right eye.
Her normal outfit consists of tight red shorts with blue chaps on top, along with a single-sleeved red jacket with only a tight black crop top underneath it, exposing her navel. She also wears a purple hairband which she inherited from her mother, and keeps her metersaber hanging by her left hip.
==Profile==
Hazel was born on the 7th day of the Month of Meyneth in the year 5242, to renowned Kleosian blacksmith Bishop Karatasas and his wife Galia. Her younger brother, Regus Kallian Karatasas, was born six years later. As a child, Hazel lived an isolated life; she rarely left the village and didn't have many friends. When she was 12, Bishop and Galia were killed in an accident, leaving Hazel and Regus in the care of Kleosian Mercenary leader Mykhael Kleaides and his son Leon. To honor her father, Hazel took on his previous job crafting swords and armor. She also developed her own technique, which was much more efficient and refined compared to her father's archaic methods.
==Gameplay==
===Overall===
Hazel's fighting style is inspired by Shulk and Rex. Her major damaging Arts require her to be either on the side or behind the targeted enemy, so it is best for aggro to be as low as possible. Hazel's Talent Art, Secret Dance, will also accumulate a large amount of aggro, so it should only be used when absolutely necessary.
