Nutty theories, get it? Nutty, but, hazelnut, Hazel’s character art and info came out, this is her article, nuts, confusion, hun? Never mind.
    But Hazel IS the subject of today’s প্রবন্ধ (and her horse- let’s not forget Arion), and I’ve scavenged the information far and wide (hence the two দিন lateness) because I am even আরো confused than when I found out that teddy bears can be sacrificed.
    Let’s start with the info that was released early (tee-hee, score 1 for fans!) and that a lot of people have already seen.



Name: Hazel Levesque
Gender: Female.
Eyes: Golden, like 14 karats.
Hair: It's long, curly and brown and I keep it glossy with জুঁই shampoo.
Hometown: New Orleans but I moved to Alaska on my thirteenth birthday.
Loves: Riding horses, art and the sun since I spent so long without it in Alaska. And I'm also pretty talented when it comes to manipulating dirt . . .
Favourite comfort food: চিংড়ি gumbo.
Crush: Crush?! OK, on Frank maybe but he doesn't know!
Weapon: A spatha– a cavarly sword.
Hates: Boats as I get so sea sick. Oh, and curses.

Let’s pass this slowly now…

Name: Hazel Levesque
Levesque is a French name. It means ‘bishop’- a bishop being
a)    A type of priest
b)    A chess piece
c)    A superhero! I’m not kidding! Sad part: he turns evil, so if Hazel’s last name means anything and if it means this guy, well we’ve found our Luke! (that’s a 10 on the theory wackiness scale- a scale that should have been invented a long time ago)
Fun fact: Bishop’s powers include absorbing and releasing energy in various form. Don’t ask me why I’m sharing this information.

‘Zhang’ seems to mean something for Frank, ‘Grace’ meant something to Thalia, so we’re going to have to wait like good little children and see if ‘Levesque’ means anything.

    ‘Hazel’, as my beautiful entry mentioned, is a type of nut, and a warm brown colour. It’s not really a French name though…

Eyes: Gold, like 14 karats
…
Yeah that’s not weird at all!
First thought about স্বর্ণ eyes is Kronos, but I seriously doubt that because her parentage is on the Roman side [quote RR]
It seems magical doesn’t it? Trivia- but [quote RR] her godly parent is all Roman.

Hair: It's long, curly and brown and I keep it glossy with জুঁই shampoo.
Well, then.
I Googled জুঁই (mm-hmm) and it turns out to be a million things. Asian and Middle-Eastern countries came up a lot, so Hazel could have some roots there seeing as RR seems to be touching various races this time around. Oil, tea, garlands, ডিজনি Princesses- আপনি name it, jasmine’s there.
That was a waste of a few minutes.

Hometown: New Orleans but I moved to Alaska on my thirteenth birthday.
Let’s start with: New Orleans.
    New Orleans is a কারুকার্য of cultures- from Caribbean, Europe, Africa, etc. It’s developed its own dialect of English, and is known for some (hi Annabeth) French creole architecture. It’s seen as the birthplace of jazz and of course প্রথমপাতা to Mardi Gras and other festivals and celebrations!
    Plus we’re on a ডিজনি Princess roll here; we’ve got জুঁই from
Aladin, and Tiana from The Frog Prince who lives here.
    Anyways, Hazel comes from a place of culture, and then she moved to Alaska.
    Alaska is the largest state as far as territory goes, but it’s the least populated. Probably because it’s up north with Canada, and Russia across the Bering Strait- with some pretty intense climate. It was purchased from the Russian Empire back in 1867, দ্বারা William H Seward- who’s statue was the one that Percy and Annabeth set off during the battle of Manhattan.
    Fun fact: in 1789 names were প্রদত্ত from Spanish settlers to places; one of them being… Valdez!
    A fun thing in Alaska is the sled dog race called the Iditarod.
    It started out as a medical crisis, called the Serum Run to Nome, অথবা the Great Run of Mercy.
    A diphtheria epidemic threated Nome (I don’t mean a nome like in the Kane Chronicles, I mean the city is called ‘Nome’), especially the children, especially the native Alaskan children with no natural protection against white man’s disease. The closest place where the cure was found was in Anchorage, the biggest city. But the only 2 planes that could go were dismantled and had never been flown in winter; it was too dangerous. So how did that run happen? Dog sled teams passed from point to point, passing the serum to each other. Anybody ever hear about Balto? There’s a statue of him in Central Park; and Balto was the lead dog for Gunnar Kaasen’s team- and they were the ones who rode into Nome. They became media যশস্বী and all; but there are other teams that happened, like Togo and his master Leonhard Seppara. That’s what happened. There’s even a movie about Balto!
     Speaking of races; isn’t that what Hazel’s horse is all about? Stay tuned for আরো (I sound like a television!)
    But here’s something that struck me; Hazel was 13 when she moved. Isn’t that the age where monsters start going after you? So maybe the সরানো was made to protect her. I mean; Alaska isn’t bursting with people, so it can’t be bursting with monsters either. অথবা maybe it is… Hmm…
    Something else to think about; did it ever mention that Hazel moved there with her mortal parent? Because when আপনি look at the cover for The Son of Neptune, one of the first things that we ব্যক্ত about it was that it might be Alaska. So maybe she pulled a Nico. He has a room at Hades’ palace; maybe she lives with a god, অথবা to be closer to a god. Maybe she worked in the enemy field at some point and that’s what RR means when he introduces her in her blog as a demigod with a complicated past.

Loves: Riding horses, art and the sun since I spent so long without it in Alaska. And I'm also pretty talented when it comes to manipulating dirt . . .
    How’s that for confusion?
    Let’s go with association- gods with activities.
Riding Horses- Neptune, I found a dude called Ares Lusitani who was the god of ঘোড়া বিষয়ক and knights, Juno and Mars as war gods (war horses)
Art- Apollo, the muses, Minerva
Sun- Well, Apollo… The Romans were big অনুরাগী of Helios as well, Apollo says that they were introduced in the Titan’s Curse. Well; maybe the Romans believe that the sun is driven দ্বারা Helios- অথবা Sol as they called him (fun fact; the French word for sun is soleil). They sometimes associated him with Janus as well, the beginning and end god, who is all-Roman. Plus; স্বর্ণ eyes…
    Although for those theories crashing down; Hazel has a legit and reasonable and normal reason to like the sun. She went from New Orleans to Alaska, where it’s dark 6 months a বছর অথবা so unless I’m mistaken (which I might be). That’s harsh, I’d miss the sun too and I’m a bad-weather type of person.
Manipulating dirt-… Pluto? Gaia? Ceres? Whaaaat?
    I seriously don’t get this. I’m guessing that she’s in the same age group as Leo; which means that Gaia wasn’t having kids when she came around, she was destroying and plotting to destroy the childhood of others. Well… Multi-tasking…
    Nico manipulated stone in the Battle of the Labyrinth, when Kronos’ সিংহাসন room went down on শীর্ষ of him.
    Ceres is a goddess of earth, right? And she actually has a connection to Gaia that I should bring up. See, in roman religion the earth goddess was linked to Ceres, and it’s mentioned in one of the printables on the site! Look here: link
    You can learn again from those printable, I swear! Did আপনি know than an oath on Gaia was even আরো serious than an oath on the Styx? Because আপনি can’t escape the earth if আপনি break it. নমস্কার maybe that’s what the curse of কেবিন 9 is about… Anyways, moving on!
    So maybe Ceres –the Roman Demeter- is going to have itty bitty little technical issues during this. Maybe her kids too, so Hazel is going to be really torn and so forth.
    The choice that comes up the most is Apollo but RR’s blog says;
Hazel has powers আপনি have never seen before, because her godly parent is on the Roman side. But (major hint) she is related to a character আপনি know well from the Percy Jackson series. Which one? I think that will surprise you.[/b]
    Supposedly it’s a major hint.
    Okay, that clearly rules out: Clovis, Drew, Piper, Leo, Jason and Lou Ellen. And it leaves: 20 million others.
Let’s see; some characters we know well (like, really well) from PJO…
-Percy
-Thalia (I don’t see a repeat to that. If there was a sister থালিয়া would have asked ‘is Maya with you?’ অথবা something)
-Nico/Bianca (if she’s related to Nico she’s related to Bianca too, no?)
-Clarisse
-Grover
-Annabeth
-Chiron! (Kronos… Sorry, I should know better than that.)
-Rachel (she likes art too!)
-Luke
-Mr D (I… guess?)
    If her mother/father is a Roman only deity, it means that her link to Percy Jackson is most likely…
a)    A parent that is an epithet of a Greek god
b)    A newly-invented siblings of a Greek god
c)    An all Roman god- such as Janus অথবা Bellona
d)    A god that was changed nearly beyond recognition

Favourite comfort food: চিংড়ি gumbo.
Great, Alaska was an abundance of seafood and hunting game as well, so as long as she can make gumbo herself she’s good.

Crush: Crush?! OK, on Frank maybe but he doesn't know!

Creepy thing; I actually thought of this couple before... Can somebody say 'inquest tension'?

NO I don’t think that this means that Percabeth is totally out of the woods just yet because there are still a million things that could go wrong. So hold the cheerleader routines, confetti cannons and free hugs for later.

Weapon: A spathaâ a cavarly sword.
Makes sense, right? Cavalry sword- she’s on a horse.
    The Spatha was a straight sword measuring beyong 0.75 and 1 metre. It was a heavy infantry weapon, unlike the gladus, and soon came to replace the gladus in front ranks after

its origin in Germanic auxiliaries. It was different for the infantrymen and cavalrymen because for the later, the tip was rounded a bit to avoid stabbing of the foot.
    So either Camp Caesar সালাদ (until the end, it will have this name) has auxiliary units (which I highly doubt because FYI: auxiliaries were less trained men from other countries who were fighting just as hard as legionnaires for less to try and get Roman citizenship for them and a friend অথবা family), অথবা a cavalry unit (ding, ding, ding!).
    That; অথবা Hazel is even আরো special than her character info makes us all believe.

Hates: Boats as I get so sea sick. Oh, and curses.
Well…
She hates boats- okay; this might make taking her on the Argo II either a bit complicated, অথবা really hilarious.
And two; this clearly means that she talks to ঘোড়া বিষয়ক but is not a daughter of Neptune!
No but seriously; I know that a lot of regular people get seasick, but if Percy is a ball of nerves on caffeine when he’s in a plane, so would a child of Pluto not hate boats? And she makes it sound like it’s some really intense sea sickness.
    Curses: Does this have anything to do with Leo, Jake and Nyssa’s little problem? অথবা is it completely unrelated? Maybe her best friend is in a coma from a forge accident. Was she cursed because she was a *cough* broken oath? Did she break one herself? Maybe she had a clash with Trivia (alias Hecate, alias the magic goddess) and the outcome was bad. Maybe she’s cursed like Annabeth. Either way, I don’t know a lot of people who, with no experience of them, say ‘I hate curses’.

WHOO! One text of info down- and I have one আরো to go for আপনি guys!

[i] Hazel's Stallion
Also known as Arion, this horse makes Olympic sprinters and cheetahss jealous. He's fast. He's also Hazel's most powerful tool.
What do they do? Aside from his lightning-fast feet and some impressive brute strength, Arion is the most loyal horse a girl could ask for.
Noteworthy:[/b[ Arion was initially a royal treasure of the Amazons, and has a taste for gold, and other metal objects. What's precious to humans is lunch to Arion
Source: link

Before we go any further, let us all notice the misspelling of the word ‘cheetahs’. That is all.

Anyways- Arion. Yes.

So his parentage is complicated to trace. Some say that he was the child of Poseidon and Demeter while they were both transformed into horses. In this version he has a sister who isn’t known- tuh-tuh-tuh! Maybe she’ll pop up if we’re going with this idea.
Some say he and Caerus were children of Gaia. (which would be bad at this particularly point and quest, especially since he’s really important to Hazel, which I imagine means she fights horseback.)
Others say that it was the child of either Poseidon অথবা Zephyrus, with a harpy as a mother.
The three parentages relate highly to The Son of Neptune characters; Percy, Gaia, Ella.
There is so and so and so other examples of Arion’s race winnings whether at funerals অথবা Nemean games, and of his speed. So far, I’ve got nothing about the horse being a metal detector and eater though.

Supposedly Arion has offsprings; like the Pegasus does (refresher: only one সত্বর and immortal and wonderful Pegasus, as in tamed দ্বারা Bellerophon, but Blackjack, Guido, Porkpie, etc were all sired দ্বারা him অথবা one of his children).
But this horse is highly important and he went from owner to owner- all with complex Greek names leading me to believe that they were important.
1)    Ogkios- He owned the horse field where Demeter and Poseidon once camouflaged as horses
2)    Heracles- আপনি do know who this guy is, I hope?
3)    Adrastos

But RR tells us where Arion is from, does he not?
‘A royal treasure of the Amazons’. That too sounds important, and I was very pleased to hear about the amazons.
    The Amazons were a nation of female warriors. Their territory was vast and they were known for their warrior skills, and they were excellent horse tamers- trained as everything from an early age. King Priam even called upon the help of Pentkesileia, an মর্দানী স্ত্রীলোক queen, to fight for Troy. She killed heroes, and a hero killed her- Achilles, actually. When he lifted her helm, he fell

in প্রণয় though (Cue Aphrodite girls and romantics: awww…), and returned her body unharmed to the Trojans (which he didn’t do every time; he dragged a friend’s killer around behind his chariot after the battle, Clarisse and the drakon style). Their queens were ferocious, and included a few daughters of Ares. Actually, one of the left Amazons’ most respected gods was Ares, possibly like a certain archer with a Chinese surname.
    Plus; do আপনি not see the hunters and the Amazons? They’ll be either best বন্ধু অথবা they’ll have issues. Heh…
    Anyways, how in the world did Hazel end up with a horse that passed through so many hands?
    Same way as Reyna ended up with the hounds, I guess…
    No but seriously; what did she do? Is it in her family? Maybe her mother was an Amazon, অথবা a descendant of Heracles. Maybe she won the horse in a fight, অথবা a good deed. And why is he so loyal to her? It might be because she’s a horse whisperer, অথবা is it because she saved/rescued/found him? Sort of a Blackjack/Percy thing. Aww- Hazel will make Percy miss Blackjack! :(
    This part actually made me look up Diana to see if maybe, just maybe, Diana wasn’t a virgin goddess like Artemis. Artemis has the powers and abilities to talk to animals, and so does থালিয়া (I don’t think ‘how to talk wolf’ is something she Googled) and probably the other hunters, so I was thinking that maybe Hazel could talk to জন্তু জানোয়ার because of that.     Well- I looked it up and Diana is one of the three virgin goddesses in Roman myths as much as Greek. But maybe Hazel is an ex Hunter? I don’t get how that would explain Arion অথবা the স্বর্ণ eyes- but hey, maybe she’s just stopping দ্বারা with the hunters of Diana when Percy shows up. She knows Jason personally and gets involved.
    *BUZZAR NOISE* Crush on Frank! Then again, a few hunters throughout history fell in প্রণয় at some point অথবা another.

    [b]Final Theory on who Hazel Levesque really is

•    You know, I think it might be Saturn. For those of আপনি who don’t know your equivalents দ্বারা heart; Saturn is Kronos.

    I know, I know; a child of Kronos is the তারকা of many অনুরাগী fictions and sounds a little weird when RR does say ‘Demigod? Yes.’ So I have a feeling he’s staring me in the face and saying ‘drop it…’ but he didn’t listen to me when I told him to প্রকাশ his book early, so fneh. That’s what আপনি get, Rick Riordan, especially after the tantalising picture on your blog.



     Anyways; in Roman religion he was the god of agriculture (hence: the dirt), and Hazel's eyes are ব্যক্ত to be gold. RR also mentioned that Hazel had a complicated past. 'Complicated' applies to three quarters of the demigod population, but being the daughter of an evil titan must be in the শীর্ষ 10, right? It also explains a সরানো to Alaska; to keep Hazel hidden from the Titan Lord (who was looking for help, am I right?) and from Camp Caesar সালাদ who would figure it out.

    Here’s an elementary problem with this theory. Well, 2.

1)    Hazel is ব্যক্ত ‘demigod’. Titans and gods are not the same thing!
2)    How do আপনি have kids when you’re chopped off in a million pieces and just lying in Tartarus in a state of semi-conscience and pain?

    Anyways here’s the answer, in Roman myth Saturn didn't get chopped in 1000, he fled to Rome and established the 'Golden Age', which made a perfect time of peace and harmony.

    There was also Saturnalia, which was a festival where slaves and masters ate at the same টেবিল and exchanged roles, executions were postponed and gifts were given. It used to be one day, then it turned to a week. If the timing didn't play around the Winter Solstice, then I would say that this might be our 'feast of fortune'.

    And if Hazel has no link to Saturn as parentage- maybe she carries a part of his spirit for the Golden Age to preside without the titans ruling. I don't know. As previously mentioned RR was uncooperative when I sent telepathically brain waves to him urging him to প্রকাশ the book faster.


Character she’d have that special link with: Luke, Kronos, Chiron


•    Pluto
    Okay, I know that this theory was gone over again. And again. And again. And again numerously. But dirt? Nico and Bianca? It still could be.
    
    It would also explain that sudden সরানো to Alaska maybe. If the monsters were starting to প্রদর্শনী up big time, Mrs Levesque (we’re assuming it’s a Mrs if Pluto’s the god) moves Hazel to Alaska to hide her. Although Roman children seem to be younger than 13 when they get claimed, etc.

    Plus; Arion has some dead owners, am I right? If Pluto taps into that; Hazel gets a horse that makes cheetahs depressed about their physical capacities.

Character she’d have that special link with: Nico and Bianca!


•    Victoria
    Victoria? Wow that’s kind of weird and যেভাবে খুশী Hecate, explain yourself, in the name of Rome!

    I’m getting there;
    
    -Gold eyes- a স্বর্ণ medal, the best. Victoria was featured on numerous coins as well.

    -Race horse, the fastest and most loyal- the one who always wins, right? Victoria was the goddess of victory, and often seen on a chariot herself.
    
    Nike (the Greek original) was seen as আরো of a celebration of Olympic victories and winning sports games. Victoria was really seen as a goddess of victory over death (I went all out here- bold and underlining) and was often worshipped দ্বারা Generals as they won the war and went back home.

    -Likes art- Victoria was all over in art. She was on coins, statues of her were here and there, architecturally mind-blowing temples (hi Annabeth) were seen here and there, etc, etc. A statue in Victoria was removed দ্বারা emperor Gratianus and there was a big uproar দ্বারা the people- Victoria was আরো important to the Romans than she was to the Greeks.

    -Sea Sickness- Victoria was winged, so Hazel would probably like it in the air better, just like Jason. She might not be in fatal danger like Jason while she’s in water, but she wouldn’t be at total ease.


Character she’d have that special link with: Umm… Umm… Umm… Pass!


•    The weakest of my to-be-elaborated theories right here ladies and gentlemen; Bacchus. The god of parties, wine and madness.

Mr B…

Yeah, I know, it sounds weird. But…

-She’s from New Orleans- a place widely known for its celebrations.
-Sea Sickness- Mr D was once captured দ্বারা pirates, wasn’t he?
-Curses- Dionysus was known for curses. Over and over and over, it’s always him and the curses. If she got a curse as a punishment from Dad, অথবা as a revenge from somebody else, well…

Character she’d have that special link with: Duh


•    Other যেভাবে খুশী theories to be thrown out there
-Bellona, goddess of war (not with that smile, আপনি don’t)
-Muses (art, although who knows about the horses)
-Other (ding ding ding ding ding!)
    
    
Am I losing my mind? Are my theories Hazel অথবা nutty? অথবা both? Has the waiting turned me into a nut case? Are আপনি feeling strong urges to pelt me with nuts right now? (Okay, I’ll stop with the ‘nut’ jokes).

    Either way; there’s heck of a character ridding our way in 5 short and sweet days.
