Trusting in Fiver, Hazel leads the rabbits on many adventures before eventually finding Watership Down.
On the way, he earns their trust and loyalty with his quick decisions and understanding nature. With his ability to cultivate the best in everyone around him, the rabbits suceed with his leadership as he makes the most of each of their abilities.
