Moon Hae-Ra was a rich Chinese daughter of Hecate who married Ryong Tae-Gun, a striving Korean businessman. Even after a year of marriage, they were unfortunately not blessed with children, thus Hae-Ra constantly prayed to the deities for a child. Fortunately, the gods have heard her prayers, especially Zeus, who had fancied her since her camp days. With the help of Apate, Hae-Ra slept with her "husband," who was actually Zeus, in a beach resort; in the light of things, Hae-Ra was finally pregnant with a child.
Nine months later, a baby girl was born. While curling in a ball, the baby girl’s pointed nose and round face were evident. There was even a birthmark that appeared like a lightning strike behind her neck. Her parents then named her Haze due to her hazel eyes; however, her Asian name, ironically, stores the special tribute to the sea. Half of her family was glad of her birth, yet the other half disliked her for her gender.
The daughter of Zeus grew up in an unhappy home. Although it was better than most, she would often hear painful comments from her relatives, friends, and her parents; yet this did not hinder her from continuing to dream for a better. Even at an early age, she became stressed with her grades, not allowing herself to get anything lower than a C. At home, she had to worry about being screamed at by her uncles and aunts. Due to wanting praise and appreciation from her parents, Haze often works hard beneath a smile to hone her skills to the sharpest they can be; however, most plans just don't work out, which depresses her. It seemed liked there was no place for her.
In one of those years, she had a little brother named Tae-Hyun. The birth of Tae-Hyun helped the situation of having a boy in the family; however, this made Haze strive harder to gain attention. She was even more persevering to outwit her brother in whatever activities there will be. Despite having a close bond together, Haze never saw her brother as someone she could share her worries to.
One night, when Haze was a mere age of eight, Zeus had spoken with Hae-Ra about Haze’s identity in a dream. Zeus handed her twin hooked swords in form of two earrings and warned Hae-Ra of the life Haze had to live as well, especially greater due to the fact she is a daughter of the Big Three. That night Hae-Ra, clipped the earrings onto the sleeping girl's ears. Devastated by the fact this was a child of another man, Hae-Ra decided to keep this information away from Tae-Gun, Tae-Hyun, and Haze for the next years of their life.
After a little event, monsters were frequent events to Haze. At the age of 10, Haze had her first monster attack. Being an early bird, Haze regularly went to school on early mornings. As she was walking down the hall, she saw a black dog and started to pet it. The dog suddenly shifted into a large hellhound. This took Haze aback, and her luck was shining bright when a thunderbolt flew right into its mouth. Haze then found glistening bronze swords next to her. Since it was a time of life or death, Haze picked up the swords and swung them at the hellhound, disintegrating it. Wiping off the sweat, the student went to class without another word, pondering about the event.
There were many reasons why Haze is still alive today. Although she was not athletic as most children, she tried her best to stay fit in case of another disaster. Her mother signed her up for a few sports such as swimming, dancing, and running. Also, without knowing, another point that kept her alive was her mother secretly asked for one of her teacher's help in protecting her; her teacher was apparently a daughter of Psyche, one who will make a great impact in her life. Although she would experience at least two monster attacks every year, ranging from harpies to Scythian dracanaes, Hae-Ra and the daughter of Psyche protected her.
Due to her constant want for escape, Haze began to be exposed to various websites online, where she met the set of friends she would never forget. One of them was a Korean boy by the name of "Park Hyoon." Starting at the age of 12, the daughter of Zeus would come home, lock her room, and always exchange messages about fears, worries, and expectations. After a series of chats, Haze secretly became attached Park Hyoon but knew her feelings for him could never be. Little did she know that it was one of the idols her friends admired most behind that screen, who used a friend's picture and name. When Hae-Ra found out Haze was obsessed with her gadgets, she created a field to hide her scent from being transmitted. Left unaware of all these, Haze still talks to Park Hyoon every night and day.
Thanks to the special teacher, the daughter of Psyche, Haze found love for the English language in her high school years. She started debating, writing, emceeing, and competing even more than her childhood years. Her teacher encouraged her with opportunities for the whole year, so she was not someone Haze would easily forget. It was during one of her debate matches that the daughter of Zeus met Kiana Kwang, a daughter of Apollo. After knowing they were from the same school, Kiana started to talk to Haze. Unfortunately, a monster had disrupted their little conversation in the bathroom. Before the lamai could attack, it was zapped by a bolt of lightning and ray of light. The two looked at each other as Kiana allowed Haze to give the final blow with her CB swords. Kiana then offered Haze a home in camp as a daughter of Zeus. Once the offer was given to her, Haze immediately accepted. She wanted to be freed of her worries, at least for a few months.
Haze took Kiana home to meet her parents. Her mother agreed to Haze to camp. Once she was transferred to a school in New York, Haze packed her things and flew straight to New York. The thirteen hour flight was worth it when she was escorted to Camp Half Blood by Kiana. Luckily, the two did not encounter any monstrosity of any sort. Haze went to camp at the age of 15.
