Summary

A spunky scientist who is always curious has found her way to a chief of science role and has been challenged to prove herself.

Appearance

Tall, red hair.  A resting face hides a constantly thinking mind.

Hazel Wallaker has a striking presence despite her relatively petite frame. Standing 5’5″, she carries herself with energy and confidence, making her seem larger than life. Her fiery red hair is her most distinctive feature, cascading in loose waves that she typically ties back into a practical ponytail or messy bun while on duty.

Her expressions are animated, quickly shifting from wide-eyed wonder to furrowed-brow concentration as her mind races to solve problems or dive into the next mystery.

Physically fit from her love of hiking and hoverball, Hazel’s frame is lean with a subtle athletic build.

Off-duty, Hazel’s style leans toward comfortable and practical clothing, often with a splash of bright color that matches her personality. Her favorite accessory is a silver necklace with a small, star-shaped pendant—a gift from her family when she graduated from Starfleet Academy.

Personality

Hazel Wallaker is a passionate and driven scientist with an insatiable curiosity about the universe. Her spunky demeanor and boundless energy often make her the spark of any crew gathering. Known for her quick thinking and an almost childlike enthusiasm for discovery, she thrives under pressure and eagerly tackles any scientific mystery. However, her impulsiveness and impatience can lead her to push boundaries, sometimes favoring swift action over careful deliberation.

Interests

  • Hoverball: Although she no longer competes, she remains an enthusiastic fan and occasionally mentors younger players.
  • Folklore and Mythology: She enjoys tracing parallels between Earth legends and alien cultures.

Strengths

  • Innovative Problem Solver: Hazel has a knack for thinking outside the box and often finds creative solutions to complex scientific challenges.
    Leadership in Crisis: Her excitable nature transforms into laser-focused determination during emergencies, inspiring her team to perform under pressure.
    Multidisciplinary Expertise: Hazel’s diverse academic background and practical experience allow her to seamlessly bridge fields such as astrobiology, quantum physics, and xenochemistry.

Weakness

  • Hazel’s impatience sometimes manifests as a preference for forceful, direct solutions rather than measured, contemplative approaches. This trait can lead to conflicts with more cautious or methodical colleagues, occasionally resulting in unintended consequences.

History

Growing up in Cardiff, Hazel’s fiery red hair and equally fiery personality made a mark in her community. As a teenager, she gained the nickname “The Wall” after an incident during a regional hoverball match. As team captain, Hazel threw herself into defending her goal, blocking multiple shots with seemingly unshakable resolve. Her relentless, almost stubborn determination made her a hero in that game, and the moniker stuck throughout her academic and Starfleet career. Over time, “The Wall” became synonymous with her ability to tackle intellectual challenges with extraordinary dedication.

Her family encouraged her love of learning, often taking her to Wales’ numerous science museums and fostering her fascination with the stars. Hazel cites an old Welsh legend about “Y Tylwyth Teg” (the Fair Folk) as the spark that kindled her curiosity about alien life.
