Not Watt but you and I likely ran into the same situation. They're in a noble's body for now and will likely get their Crest, otherwise I'm keeping my group's bodyhopper's original stats. Would love to hear how your next session goes!

Hey CrayLives - I def think we're in the same sich. Bodyhopper is in noble body. I chatted with my player and we decided that their PC would retain Mind, Heart, Reality and Fear stats/saves, but would roll new Strength, Speed and Body stats/saves. Basically thinking that there's elements of the mind and soul that remain, but the skills related to the body are new.
I'm super excited for my next session - we got about 2/3 of the way through LVOTBB and ended with an adult imago landing on the rear engine. It was great.
Great question and something I should have addressed in the rulebook! I've initially been thinking of rolling up an entire new character (and using the bodyhopper modifiers), but I think keeping Heart is interesting. Ideally I want the hop to be fun and easy to explain. I could probably be talked into keeping a mind stat, but I think that's likely determined by the body's brain so I would think re-roll that too.
