#hazah

Hazel and Lezah first met when a toddler Hazel discovered what anti faires were, and INSISTED upon meeting the ‘other four fairy kids’ despite MANY protestations from every adult in her life and also the fairy council. Hazel is very persistent, however, and eventually did get permission to meet the anti-kids with heavy supervision. Honestly, I think she was the only fairy child brave enough to actually show up, and she tries to be sensitive to the anti-fairies culture by letting them rough house with her. Lezah however is more interested in verbally berating her fairy counterpart, eventually leading to Hazel taking a step away, and accidentally meeting Ved! he had been hiding in the rafters, observing the first fairies he’d ever seen out of curiosity, but shortly after he and Hazel hit it off his Father Elad finally tracks him down and takes him home, but Hazel is more than satisfied with her experimental outing after proving anti-fairies could be befriended! (Ved DOES actually like and befriend her at first… the resentment came later, after Ved found out the truth about how the fairy and anti fairy war was ended…)

At first, Lezah does not think much of Hazel, if anything being a little offended to see someone who’s supposed to be her that’s so uncool, but eventually the anti-fairy figures out that as her world’s princess, her magic is too powerful to be stopped by most teleportation barriers, thus beginning kid Lezah’s somewhat-frequent terrorizing of fairy world.

She wasn’t really into the world domination thing like Foop (and later Ved ☠️) -mostly just doing her tornado thing and causing havoc until her mother was called to come get her, but these repeated visits made Hazel suspect Lezah maybe wanted to be friends with her, so kid Hazel doubles down and tries to hang out with Lezah whenever she appears, to the point that the fairy council start sending Hazel to distract Lezah directly so she does less damage. It’s around this time Hazel comes to the (incorrect) conclusion that because Lezah is an anti-fairy, she always says the opposite of what she means, so when she tells Hazel she hates her, she’s actually being affectionate, and when she tells Hazel to go away, she actually wants to hang out! This is, of course, not how anti-fairies talk, but the misconception is enough to make hazel believe they are truly friends, no matter how much Lezah protests.

This pattern continues all the way up until Hazel goes to Godparenting school, dragging Dev with her so he can get away from his dad. Lezah welcomes her absence at first, even if she doesn’t know the cause, but over the first few weeks of not seeing one another, she grows strangely uneasy, and when Ved asks her to sneak into the godparent in school as a favor to install one of his flash drives (because the magical barriers can’t really stop her)

Lezah agrees because she wants to cause destruction, but upon finding out that’s where Hazel went, she gets completely distracted interrogating her half asleep ferry counterpart for the reason why she left with no warning. Despite how badly Lezah wrecks the godparenting school, Hazel is genuinely touched by her check-in, and after this event, the two of them started to schedule actual hangouts to work with Hazels Godparenting schedule. Lezah only decides to come to like half of them, on days she decides she doesn’t have better things to do, but while Hazel WAS being delusional before, she can now confidently say she is friends with her anti-fairy, and that friendship only grows with time.

(When they first got adopted by Perry and Iris, Wren had Hazel as a godparent, and Eli had Lezah! There were BOTH very excited to be godparenting siblings, even if Perry and Iris are such good parents that Hazel doesn’t keep her job as long as Lezah does- but even she is eventually excused once Eli finally accepts his new family 💙💜)
