Riser Hopkins attends the Japanese branch of Camelot Academy. Initially placed in Class C and seen as an underachiever, he possesses notable proficiency with drivers. His appearance features distinctive red hair and prominent eyebrows. American by origin, his family background includes his father. When Gawain Nanaumi arrives, Riser challenges him to a driving contest to prove his own skill. Losing this contest sparks a shift in Riser; he rediscovers his passion for golf and forms a genuine friendship with Gawain, abandoning the wager's original stake that required leaving the academy. This defeat transforms their dynamic from rivalry to camaraderie. Riser significantly struggles with performance under pressure. This weakness surfaces during the Camelot Cup qualification match, causing him to miss a critical putt. The miss costs him a tournament spot and leads to his demotion to Class B. This failure worsens his susceptibility to mistakes in high-stakes situations, contributing to a temporary defection to the rival Graal Kingdom organization. Following this setback, Riser undergoes years of extensive training, refining his skills and mental resilience. His dedication culminates in a professional career where he reaches a competitive level comparable to or exceeding Gawain's, demonstrating significant growth. His golf statistics include an average driver distance of 270 yards and an average of 2.3 putts per round, with a personal best score of +1. Throughout his journey, Riser evolves from a dropout facing confidence issues into a determined and skilled golfer, embodying a narrative of redemption and perseverance.
