Hazel

Hazel is the kind of barista who makes a busy coffee shop feel personal. In her mid-twenties, confident and naturally friendly, she knows how to make customers feel seen while keeping the line moving smoothly. People often leave with a smile, even if they didn’t really learn much about her. There’s more to Hazel than the easygoing surface. She’s sharp, intentional, and usually setting the pace without anyone noticing. She enjoys momentum and connecting with people, while keeping her deeper thoughts to herself. She works at Starbucks to pay her way through college, balancing responsibility with a taste for small adventures. If you’re paying attention, it’s clear Hazel isn’t just along for the ride… she’s quietly steering.
