== Appearance and Personality ==
Hopefinder became a Returned eleven years before the events[[Pahn ofKahl [[Warbreakerrebellion]]. His body died at the age of two, and he now appears to be an unusually strong thirteen year old. However his voice and maturity rapidly progressed, to the point where [[Lightsong]] describes him as "a boy trying to imitate his father".{{book ref|wb|30}} His first few years as a Returned were marked by his ability to think and act like an adult, despite his apparent age. He is the 5thfifth oldest in the court of Returned gods.{{book ref|wb|30}}
 
His apparent age is also inconsistent with his formal disposition. He is unaffected by [[Blushweaver]]'s flirtatious personality and seems to authentically care for those who bring their petitions to him. During his conversation with Lightsong and Blushweaver, Hopefinder even admits he's considered relinquishing his [[BioChromatic Breath|divine Breath]] in order to heal someone else.{{book ref|wb|30}}
 
Hopefinder's objective is to have a substantial impact on the government. Responsible for a quarter of the city's [[Lifeless]] soldiers, he expresses his frustration and boredom with the little sway he has in the [[Court of Gods]] during peacetime. He is also confident that the troubles in the city will blow over, especially since he believes [[Siri]] and [[Susebron]] are well on their way to producing an heir. Indeed, he seems to be well informed of events both inside the God King's palace and outside the city's walls. For these reasons, he agrees to exchange the pass code for his share of the lifeless soldiers for Blushweaver's vote on the [[council of social ills]]. His code is "A candle by which to see," which is a popular poem in the world of Warbreaker. After sharing his code phrase, Blushweaver is instructed to begin voting for the Reformist arguments. This suggests that he is not only well informed of the current political situation but also eager to begin exercising his newfound influence.{{book ref|wb|30}}

== Trivia ==
Because a god's appearance is based on what that individual believes a god should look like, Brandon chose to use this character to show gods of various ages. Since most of the present courtCourt of the godsGods are young, manipulative, and majestically beautiful, Hopefinder's age and maturity are an intentional contrast.{{annotationwob ref|wb|chapter=306966}}
