Opal pointed out that Hop's desire to follow Leon's footsteps is misguided. Hop is later revealed to have an inferiority complex as he pressures himself to live up to Leon's legacy, who otherwise feels it would tarnish his brother's hard earned reputation. Hop idolizes his brother Leon and wishes to be like him, down to almost copying Leon's gestures and battling strategies.
Hop is passionate and determined to surpass Victor/ Gloria so that he can subsequently challenge his brother, Leon and become the Champion, though he can often come off as a bold, rash and reckless youth. He wears a blue fur-rimmed jacket, with a black T-shirt and pants, the latter with two purple stripes on the sides, along with black, white and purple colored sneakers and a comparatively smaller, green duffel bag. Hop is a dark-skinned boy with purple hair and bright yellow eyes.
