She's an only child and a stay at home student.

B. Hazel is Caucasian with a "Steroidally" round face due to her medication and rosy cheeks. She has a pageboy haircut and green eyes. She is very skinny due to her weight loss from the cancer and carries an oxygen tank with her.

He had a touch of osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that usually occurs during rapid growth. He lost his right leg to the cancer. Augustus uses his Wish to take himself, hazel, and her mother on a trip to Amsterdam to meet their favorite author Peter Van Houten.

B. Augustus is tall and lean. He has straight short hair, the color of mahogany and green eyes. He also has a prosthetic leg.

C. Augustus is kind of like hazel. Like her, he also has a very strong personality. He is intelligent, sarcastic, and witty. He likes metaphors and often does them.
