Hazel • any/all

Hazel is the main character of the Hazel Hotel universe, the first "Guy" I ever designed and the reason this project even exists!

Not much is known about Hazel's past - they showed up as the new Hotel Manager one day, holding a magical mirror that allows them to cast powerful spells and transform their appearance. They might come off as a fantastic people-person, but in actuality they're just very good at sticking to a social script. The moment something unexpected happens, they go silent and just stare at whoever they were talking to with large, unblinking, autism-filled eyes.

Trivia

• Hazel was originally the counterpart to "Blanc", a look-alike of Hazel with white skin, black eyes, and no hat. This was back when I was planning on taking Hazel Hotel down the creepypasta route - which I don't plan on doing anymore!
• Despite being the main character (and having the entire universe named after them), Hazel's design is actually my least favourite to draw. It's probably because they're the first guy I ever made and so I just stuck with the first design I came up with. It's different to my process nowadays, wherein I throw a bunch of concepts at the wall and take what sticks, then iterate on their design until it becomes really fun to draw.
