David Harbour and the Duffer Brothers added a heartbreaking layer of silent character development to the show. The braided blue hair tie Hopper wears on his wrist originally belonged to his biological daughter, Sarah, before she tragically passed away from cancer. Throughout the chaotic events of the first two seasons, he never takes it off. It isn't until the Season 2 finale that he gently gives it to Eleven to wear at the Snow Ball, visually symbolizing his full acceptance of her as his newly adopted daughter.
