*Hocus has a very similar role of [[Carol Rawley|Foe Hammer]], the principal [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] pilot in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Her voice acting and personality are similar to the original drop ship pilot's, possibly an indirect reference to the character by [[Bungie]].

*On the level [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]], you can see Hocus' face when she picks up the Marines after the [[Jump Pack Jiralhanae|Jump Pack Brutes]] are killed, by jumping on the front of the Pelican. However, she tends to have a completely different face from time to time, so it is unknown what she really looks like.
*The character is voiced by Debra Wilson, of MadTV fame.{{citation needed}}
*Hocus has the standard Marine pilot character model when seen flying her Pelican, which, strangely, is a male marine body.
*It is common misconception that Sergeant Johnson is a higher rank than Hocus. This is however not true as Hocus is a Lieutenant which is a officer rank and Sergeant Major is a NCO or Non Commissioned Officer. The misconception stems from the fact that Sergeant Johnson often gives orders to her.
