What are at least two traits of Hazel Grace?

Hazel Grace Lancaster, the protagonist of The Fault in Our Stars, is presented as a relatable yet profound character who is negotiating her relationship with life, death, and cancer. We gather that Hazel is intelligent, or at least very self-motivated, as she is already enrolled in college courses at the age of sixteen. Hazel is also very mature, but sadness ages a person in certain ways. Hazels' sense of self-awareness and morality is surprising to many people who meet her. For example, Augustus' parents are surprised when Hazel explains that she is a vegetarian because she wants to minimize the amount of suffering she causes in the world. I think that Hazel could also be described as brave. She is not afraid to speak up when she disagrees with someone and had the courage to go all the way to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author.
