A member of House Orien, Hazel grew up within the structure of the house hierarchy. In her younger years she had a taste for adventure that her elders found troubling, especially after she manifested her house’s dragonmark, but upon reaching adulthood, Hazel found a way to use the two together in a way that benefits herself and her house: she became a house courier.
Hazel has her center of operations at the station, taking the mail that comes in by coach and delivering it to the more outlying towns and homesteads nearby. Most of the mail that comes through her hands goes to people in the area, though some gets forwarded to the next coach. When necessary (or if she’s bored), Hazel will hire herself out for private jobs, taking letters, papers or small parcels from one location in the area to another, a service she refers to as “express” delivery.
As a result of her job, Hazel knows nearly everyone in the area—and everything they’ve got going on. She knows who gets letters and who never does, and a large portion of what goes in those letters as well. Anyone who needs to know more about the inhabitants within twenty miles of the station could do far worse than to ask Hazel.
