### Background

Military operative Richard McNamara met a young Korean woman named Hana while on assignment in South Korea acting as a security consultant for the Rhelasian unification discussions. The two began a relationship which would continue throughout the early days of Rhelasian restructuring and the rebuilding of Seoul (which would became known as New Seoul). When Hana became pregnant, the two were married and though Richard was activated for special assignments often, Hana was allowed to live on the U.S. military base — which was where she would give birth to their daughter.

### Hazel McNamara: 1991 - 2009

Hazel would go on to travel to many different countries throughout her childhood but Rhelasia would always hold a special place due to her mother's heritage and the fondness for Rhelasian cuisine Hazel enjoyed in her earliest of memories.

When Hazel was still just a girl, she received word that her father had died while on assignment. Further details were classified, leaving Hazel and her mother unable to properly process their grief. Hazel turned to food to comfort herself through this sad stretch of her life.

Hazel and her mother moved to National City. This was a matter of convenience as one of her father's military friends, John Lynch, had approached them after the funeral and offered the widow and fatherless girl use of one of his residences until they landed on their feet.

After years of struggling to find sustainable work in America, Hazel's mother decided she wanted to return to Rhelasia where her brother had offered her a job. Though Hazel did not want to leave her mother, she was eighteen and had been accepted to one of the world's finest culinary arts school in Canada with a scholarship from something known as the Vigilance Foundation — which Hazel did not recall applying for.

### Hazel McNamara: 2009 - 2013

With her mother's blessing to pursue her dreams, Hazel went off on her own and became an accomplished chef, studying under Cecil Graham. While in her final year of studying and preparing to go to work in some vegan diner, Hazel was approached by another friend of her father's, a man named Greg Saunders. **[see Supplemental Report 3]**

### Hazel McNamara: 2013 - Present

Saunders eventually offered Hazel an opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to run her own restaurant. It was modest place at the base of the Coventry Cove Building on Coventry Island in Gotham City, but it would be Hazel's own — with Saunders only interested in enough of the shares to break even on utility costs. Hazel accepted the offer.

At the opening of the Seoul Food Grill, Saunders introduced Hazel to the MeVids musician known as Foxglove. The two women got to talking and drinking, waking up in bed together. Both thought it was just meant to be a one-night-stand, but Hazel liked Fox's music so she kept going to her shows and Fox couldn't get enough of Hazel's cooking. So after they kept waking up naked with each other, they decided to give love a chance.

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Gimmix*) If you're ever finding yourself in the Coventry district and looking for a bite to eat, do yourself a favor and go to Seoul Food Grill. If you don't know what to order, I say you can't go wrong ordering the chimaek.
	+ **Supplemental Reply** (*Submitted by Gremlin*) Personally, I recommend the *seonji-guk* or "hangover stew". It's so yummy and a very generous portion size!
	+ **Supplemental Reply** (*Submitted by Gimmix*) Of course *you* would recommend *that*...
* (*Submitted by Gremlin*) Don't make the mistake of thinking Hazel's just a Korean BBQ cook. The girl knows her stuff. If you don't believe me, head over to Seoul Food Grill on "Fusion Friday". Or, if you're busy on Fridays, pull a "Rose" and find a reason to knock on Hazel's door around lunch on Sunday when Hazel's in the midst of experimenting and happy to have test subjects.
* (*Submitted by Gimmix*) When he approached her in the final days of her culinary arts program, Greg told Hazel that her father had died a hero, having saved Greg's life by sacrificing his own. Greg was unable to give her more specific information as it was still classified, but he told her what he could. Greg had been trying to contact Hazel before, but Hazel's mom did not want anything to do with Greg or his charity and had turned him away. Hearing this, Hazel needed to speak to her mother about Greg. So she asked him to come by later. Greg left her with a Vigilance Foundation business card. Discovering that Greg was the one responsible for footing the bill for her tuition, Hazel had a change of tune and quickly agreed to hear him out.
