Hope

Hope is a mouse who lives in a small community on the streets who debuted in Keisuke Satō's manga adaptation of the series.
==Appearance==
Hope is a light-colored mouse whose hair is slightly darker in color.
==Personality==
Hope aspires to be able to cross the ocean similar to a legendary rat who not only did the same, but also saved an entire island from a so-called white demon. Ridiculed at first due to being sickly by Nemo and the chief of his village who is too content with their life at their current home, his bravery ultimately allows him to win them over.
==History==
===Little Witch Academia (Keisuke Satō Manga)===
====Chapter 7====
During another fight with Nemo and his gang at Bkytonbury streets, Hope is unexpectedly saved by mouse!Akko who stands up for him before things escalate. After Nemo and his cohorts lose interest and make their leave, Hope and mouse!Akko introduces themselves during which the latter reveals that the ocean indeed exists and that she came from a land across the sea (Japan). This excites Hope who expresses his dreams of being able to travel across the ocean just like a legendary mouse who did the same in a bid to defeat a white demon long ago. To mouse!Akko's shock, Hope suddenly coughs a bit of blood in mid-sentence but shrugs his chronic illness aside as he brings her to his village's elder.
To Hope's dismay, the village elder, who is also his father, refuses to believe his son's story, let alone fulfill his dreams because of his would-be responsibility to care for their humble village. As Akko calls the elder out for being inconsiderate, a commotion ensues as the so-called "white demon" from their tale appears by their village's doorsteps. Despite their differences, Hope steps in between the "white demon" and Nemo who got stuck beneath a piece of large wood in a bid to save him, citing it's the very thing the rat from the legend is willing to do.
Fortunately for everyone, this particular "white demon" is friendly and even apologizes to them for the mess. Such a turn of events faintly surprises Akko since it is actually Diana's weasel form all along. Bewildered by the unexpected turn of events, Hope immediately assumes mouse!Akko is the rat of legend he heard about. Playing along by introducing herself as "Akko Kagareen", mouse!Akko offers to show him the ocean, but Hope refuses since he wants to achieve his dreams with his own effort. With that, mouse!Akko and weasel!Diana part ways with the small mice village. Watching them leave, Hope is pleasantly surprised to see the humbled Nemo changed his mind about their argument earlier and offers to join his friend in his future journey, knowing he needs all the help he can get.
==Relationships==
===Atsuko Kagari===
Nemo meets Akko when the latter is stranded in the streets of Blytonbury as a rat, an encounter which made him believe the rat of legend he heard to be real all along. When Akko bravely confronts the white demon from the same legend which turned out to be Diana in weasel form, Nemo assumes her and the rat of legend to be the same person, prompting her to play along. Nevertheless, he decides to fulfill his dreams on his own thanks to her inspired him to do so.
===Nemo===
Hope and Nemo originally had a stormy relationship because the latter doesn't believe the tale the former grew up to hear. That changes when Hope stands up between Nemo and the so-called "white demon" (which really is Diana in weasel disguise) which lead to him winning his former bully's respect.
==Abilities and Equipment==
Despite being sickly, Hope's determination allows him to maintain his ground even after receiving a beating from his former bully Nemo and his two cohorts, showing that he can take punishments.
