Hazel is a 10-year old African American girl with brunette hair styled into an afro and brown eyes and a gap in her front teeth. Her regular attire consists of a blue sweater with pink stripes, blue pants and green sneakers.
Hazel, and her parents, Marcus and Angela, moved to a new city called “Dimmadelphia”…
Hazel Wells is unpacking in her new room, welcoming her pet rocks to her new home in Dimmadelphia. She is saddened by her brother Antony’s absence due to him leaving for college but tries to make the best of the move.
“Clifford, Rhonda, Luis, Smoothie, and Garfield. Welcome to your new home! I know, you're overwhelmed. We're in a new city, having to make new friends, and our big brother Antony left us for college. Well he's my brother not yours. But we gotta roll with the punches! Toughen up rocks! We’re not little kids anymore we're 10 double digits we can handle this, right? I wish Antony were here to help me unpack. And keep me from talking to a bunch of rocks.”
Hazel says, then takes one of the rocks.
“If you are a fairy, you can tell me. I'll follow the rules and just make the one wish. I just want my brother here, okay?”
Hazel says the rock doesn’t answer, it’s a rock, after all.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought…”
Hazel sighs and sets the rock back down.
