Hawks is usually characterized by his seemingly chilled, easy-going and relaxed demeanour, as shown by him speaking his mind during the Hero Billboard Chart JP, and casually calming an angered Endeavor who viewed his attitude as disrespectful. Despite seeming laid-back however, Hawks is actually on high alert, using his Quirk to casually stop a criminal, save a dog from getting run over, as well as help an old lady with her bag. Hawks has also shown to interact kindly with his fans, as seen when a bunch of them congratulated him for making the number 2 spot. He is also friendly with Endeavor, despite the latter's crude attitude and high temper, congratulating him over becoming the Number 1 Hero and wanting to help him. It is eventually revealed that he has been a fan of Endeavor since he was young.

While open about his opinions, Hawks does show to have a good heart, he wishes for his fellow heroes to have a relaxed routine where they can take it easy once in a while and have time to spare. Despite appearing carefree and relaxed, he is in fact very stressed and hard-working over his hero duties, following the HSPC's orders dutifully. He admitted to Fumikage Tokoyami that he took the latter on only to learn more about the League of Villains (as well as the fact that they were both birds), but later decided to inspire the young hero in training and giving him some words of wisdom. He also held guilt over Endeavor gaining a scar after the Nomu attack, with him containing the High-End so casualties could be kept at a minimum.

Hawks also shows to be highly intelligent, having been trained by the HSPC at a young age and mastering the skills of espionage and infiltration. He has full control over his facial expressions and way of speech, making him an expert liar, although he admits that he doesn't like lying claiming it to be too much work. These traits allowed him to successfully work his way into the Liberation Army, and fool the villains into thinking he was on their side. In essence, Hawks is a prodigy having started his own Hero Agency at the young age of 18 and reaching the Top Ten Hero Rankings in the second half of that same year, being the youngest hero to do so.

Despite his laid-back and friendly attitude however, a darker side of Hawks personality is shown during his infiltration of the League of Villains . While still on the good side, his conscience flashes through with his disgust towards Dabi following the attacks, leading to him to threaten the villain with one of his feather blades. He later shows that, despite being a hero and a good person at heart, that this darker side also has the capacity to kill. While Hawks maintained a friendship and earned the trust of the villain, Twice, he did feel guilty about lying to him and eventually having to betray his trust. He soon finds Twice to be a good individual despite the latter being a villain, and thus wanted to redeem Twice and help him get back on his feet.

After realizing that Twice wouldn't come quietly however, as well as seeing that he wouldn't turn on the League, Hawks reluctantly killed the villain in acknowledging that he was too dangerous to keep alive
