It's funny because according to interviews, Klavier's design came first and Kristoph's hair was based on his XD But speaking in-game, I think you can still copy someone's hairdo or style without really clinging to them.
I find it more likely Klavier thought of him as a rival than a role model.
Yeah! That's the vibe I got as well! Not that he doesn't have brother issues, but they seem to me more "I'll show him I'm good/better than him!" (perhaps he did admire him earlier and thought he was respectable, which explains his mood in the trial, but nothing like what fandom makes of it?) He seemed really keen at 17 to face Kristoph in court, and in 4-2 he was actually cheerful about going against the guy who beat his brother. Had he been really dependent, I think he would've been a little more Franziska-like at least in that first time against Apollo.
