Hazel Lionheart

Early Life
Hazel B. Lionheart was born on October 4, 1975 in Greenwood Lake, a small village in Otariano. Although she was born as a Pasatanian, Hazel grew up switching parties throughout her childhood.

When Hazel's brother was born when she was 8, she was living in upstate Malkon and studying politics. When she turned 14, she wrote a political book dedicated to Gordon Helmer, who, at the time, was currently serving as a senator in Thoustrawn.

At the time, the book was named "The Brief Political Statement." When Hazel turned 17, she renamed the book to "A Political Compact To Those Who Need It." It earned 4 Bookworm Junior nominations in 1990, of which it won 3 of them, including "Best Political Book."

Young Adulthood & New Careers
Hazel grew up as a member of the Skurza religion meaning when she turned 16, she would have to marry someone of her family's choice. Her family chose a Cuunsmakio immigrant named David Pogest who married her in 1991. After their marriage, they moved to Geyto City.

In 1993, Hazel divorced Pogest and moved away to Landaros to start college. In 1997, Hazel graduated from Dywald Queen College with a 4-year degree and moved to Instorantile City to graduate from law school.

In law school, Hazel met Leodore Lionheart. After law school, they got married and moved away to Zootopia. She didn't have an official job like her husband, and mostly lead rallies and made speeches for support in anti-racism and for Leodore's political positions.

Role In ZSO
When Leodore was arrested for hiding missing mammal cases, the public had a lot of curiousity about Hazel's reaction. Hazel never responded to her husband's arrest, but after Leodore was released early due to a confusion, he told ZNN many stories of his return home and that Hazel would often refuse to speak to him.

Later that year, Leodore had said that things had finally started "going his way" and that Hazel "continued his life" for him. Hazel's response to this is unknown, but she announced that she was having a third child with Leodore, which many believed was a sign of forgiveness.
