Design

Appearance

Full body view of Hal.

Hal is a young boy with orange hair that has a yellow top that flicks up at the sides. His hair has three red highlights; two diamond shaped sections on the temples that almost seem to extend from his eyebrows, and curved section on his orange fringe, which resembles a Barian Emblem. Like Bowman, he has orange eyes with yellow borders on the irises. Hal wears a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with a white blazer with yellow accents, orange pants with yellow accents and the cuffs turned up just past the knees to reveal an aquamarine lining, a pink belt with a silver buckle and an aquamarine, diamond-shaped fastener, and white boots with pink soles.

As with Bowman, the Southern Cross star is prominent in Hal's design; his boots have yellow stars on the ankles, and his blazer has a larger star on the chest.

Personality

Ryoko Shiraishi describes Hal as possessing lovely expressions, but also countless different types of feelings.

Etymology

Hal's name may be a reference to HAL 9000/Hal from the science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey; a character named "Bowman" also appears in the film.
