One line that perfectly sums up Hopper’s vibe is, "Mornings are for coffee and contemplation." Equal parts gruff, sarcastic, and caffeine-dependent. As a small-town sheriff craving a quiet start to his day, Jim stumbles into the station, still half-asleep, only to be met by his ever-diligent secretary, Florence, already rattling on about Joyce Byers and her missing son. At this point, he’s still just a guy cruising through his job, not yet entangled in Demogorgons, secret lab experiments, or dad duties.
