Hazel Foxbell

an original character

"Hazel Foxbell may not be my given name, but it is the name by which you may address me. If you're here, you've heard something of my nature or of me. Whether you seek the perfect floral arrangement to express yourself, a magical sachet to help you achieve your designs, or a few ingredients missing from your personal spell works, it comes as no surprise that I am whom you have found."

Advocate

Idealistic and principled, Advocates aren't content to coast through life - they want to stand up and make a difference. For these personalities, success doesn't come from money or status but from seeking fulfillment, helping others, and being a force for good in the world.

While they have lofty goals and ambitions, Advocates shouldn’t be mistaken for idle dreamers. People with this personality type care about integrity, and they’re rarely satisfied until they’ve done what they know to be right. Conscientious to the core, they move through life with a clear sense of their values, and they aim never to lose sight of what truly matters – not according to other people or society at large, but according to their own wisdom and intuition.

Six Traits: Creative. Curious. Insightful. Passionate. Perfectionist. Private.

Motivations: Curiosity, Regret, Self-actualization.

Handling Conflict: Hazel is the type of woman who will first attempt to have a rational discussion in which both parties are given space to speak their truths and come to a compromise. If that fails, she will withdraw herself from the person and situation instead. She needs time to process, and it can be difficult for her to open up. She isn't exactly stubborn, but it can be difficult for her to have her beliefs challenged. She would rather someone believe they've 'won' an argument than waste her time and energy with someone she believes is not trying to build a bridge.

First Impressions: On first impression, one might attribute a sharpness to Hazel. Her bone structure is strong, angular with well-defined features. Her dark gaze may seem keen, searching almost into the depths of one's soul. A touch to the shoulder or arm could give the idea of openness, but it would soon become apparent that she offers little else of herself initially.

Fashion: Hazel tends to wear loose, flowing outfits that wrap around her body, especially when she's in cities, at home, or in her shop. When gardening or foraging, she tends toward tight-fitting trousers. Unless it's cold, she will typically wear tops that show her arms. Her jewelry tends toward gold, and she loves colorful gemstones. She favors bright, floral colors though she rarely wears patterned materials. Instead, she opts for interesting textures to her clothing and interesting jewelry to add interest.

Hazel Foxbell speaks little of her past, but when she does, a sadness reflects in her eyes. She is open about being born of ravens, but surely she only means she was born among those whose totem is that bird. After all, there doesn't seem to be any indication that she's anything more or less than human. Sure, there's a little magic in her aura, but it shouldn't be enough to shapeshift.

Otherwise, she's happy only to speak on her floriography studies, how enamored she's been with foliage since her youth. Flowers especially have always seemed to carry messages whether anyone cared to hear them or not. So she was happy to stay aground and pick through them, learning their associations and their properties.

Few know why she left her people. Easy speculation is curiosity about the world beyond her little village of ravens and wolves. Some suppose she must have done something terrible to bring about her exile. Hazel won't speak on it, at least not without a strong connection to someone and perhaps a drink or two to ease her into openness.

If one presses her, she may tell them the past is history, and the present is where all concerns should lie. For now, she helps people with communicating their more ardent feelings without having to speak a word. She helps a person's intentions call out to the universe itself. And isn't there joy and satisfaction to be had in that?

Spellcrafting

Floriography: The language of flowers. Hazel has spent a large chunk of her life learning proper correspondences associated with specific plant-life, especially flowers. She helps prepare floral arrangements that say so much more than, "Here are some pretty flowers to look at."

Herbalism: Part of her correspondence work led her, naturally, down the path of learning the properties of plants. While her knowledge would be a poor substitute for that of true healers, she does know how to help with simpler remedies.

Spellcrafting: With her herbs and flowers, Hazel crafts magical sachets for others with instructions on use. Most are typical spells for love, confidence, or luck (her best sellers). Every so often, she will craft something more intensive, but those typically require more time, more focus, and more complex rituals.

"Rhiannon"
Fleetwood Mac

♫

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

"Space Oddity"
David Bowie

♫

I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

"Amaryllis"
Shinedown

♫

So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
