Mrs. Hazel Moreau is the wife of Dr. Oliver Moreau, whom she no longer loves.

History

Before LL

Early

Hazel was born first and therefore instantly deemed the one responsible for her younger sisters. She almost felt as if she was merely the first try; a trial run for her parents before they realized they were very good at popping out beautiful little girls. For it seemed as each sister was born, each came out prettier, more accomplished, and with a sweeter disposition than the last. Childhood for the four girls was not deprived of luxury, they had almost everything their little hearts could desire, however their parents wanted almost nothing to do with their brood, their social lives being, of course, much more important.

However, all in all, the childhood was a happy one. The estate, Chadwick Manor, was not overly large but had no lack of open space for the sisters to run free. They grew up in Oxfordshire, and as children were quite close. They were best friends, and Hazel being the oldest was almost a mother to them. All those warm feelings seemed to dissipate when the girls hit puberty, and self-improvement proved to be the soul reason for friendship anymore, even with each other.

Debut

Hazel debuted in 1804 when she was eighteen. It was during this time that she, like her parents, was a social butterfly. People liked her, and she discovered a little charm could go a long way. She soon saw her name showing up in all the society pages, the dresses she wore, the men she danced with, the girls she shopped with. It was all new and exciting, and the attention was addicting. She had soon charmed her way into all the ton's hearts and was ripe to marry rich and happy.

Marriage

Oliver Moreau was a dashing young doctor just trying to make his name known. He had been an apprentice to a Dr. Hearnshaw, who had been a friend of the Nelson family and physician for years before retiring to the country. Therefore, when May fainted rather dramatically at a house party she had deemed "far too hot!", it was Dr. Moreau who called in Hearnshaw's stead. Being the friendly man he is, Maxwell Nelson decided he liked the man and invited him to a dinner party they were hosting during the weekend in which Oliver could perhaps "meet the people he'd be working for, righto"

During the dinner party a certain beauty sang a duet with a younger girl who played the pianoforte, harmonizing in pleasant and complicated patterns. Oliver fell in love; deeply, madly, truly. Fell for Hazel's charm and pretty face and spirit. Hazel.. did not. She did not love him. She loved to be loved by him. She loved the adrenaline of sneaking into the garden, of stealing a kiss in the dark corners, of his hand brushing against hers under a table. She loved the feeling of adventure, of risk, of living on the line between a perfect society girl and complete ruin. She loved the danger. So she agreed to the wildly romantic and irresistibly erotic idea of elopement.

The first years of marriage were fun for Hazel, everything was new and exciting. But then the idea that she would be married for the rest of her life to the same man became apparent, and she realized she did not love Oliver. She began to get irritated with everything about him, the way he sat down, the way he chewed his food, even the way he told her she was beautiful. Seven years later and once more back in her family's good graces, she is bored to tears, and has desperately grasped to her sister's good fortune in marriage to ride on her coat tails and be her "companion" in London.
