Hazel Aden
Nicknames: Paige's Shadow
Quotable Quotes: "Not for long, Hazel's on the case. I think I need help with my math homework."
Hazel spent her first two years following Paige around and not saying anything. She was in nearly every episode and didn't even get her name in the credits until the third season. I think she was just supposed to be a background character that happened to end up in enough scenes that the producers decided to make her a regular character.
Some of Hazel's major story arcs include, umm...well I guess she hasn't really had any. There was an episode where she was afraid to let people know she was Muslim, but then Muslim girl yelled at her and she saw the error of her ways. Then later, she started to date Jimmy, so good for her.
Final Grade: C-
There have been several characters that started out as background characters and then made their way to being regulars. Marco, Chris, and the Candy Bandits come to mind, however they were able to make this change in less then a season. It took Hazel so long to make the change that it's pathetic.
