Ruggie Bucchi

Ruggie Bucchi is a second-year student in Savanaclaw. He assists Leona as his junior. Due to having grown up in a poor environment, he's a bit of a glutton.

Appearance
Ruggie has spiky, dark blonde hair and two large hyena ears. He has green-grey eyes, which are often half-lidded. He is also shown to have a short, thin tail that matches the colour of his ears.

He is seen wearing a Savanaclaw uniform, like the other residents of the same dorm, although his uniform in particular is a gift from Leona. Like the standard uniform, he is seen wearing a black, unzipped vest, and sitting on top of the vest is a yellow scarf with patterns implemented. If seen closely, underneath his vest is a necklace with different colors of beads. He is also seen wearing a pair of gloves.

Personality
Ruggie is viewed as cheerful and mischievous and enjoys playing tricks on his friends. Ruggie is also known to be laid back and doesn't take anything seriously. He is sensitive when the topic of his past is brought up.

Unique Magic
Ruggie's unique magic is called "Laugh With Me!" Ruggie can control the movements of others by making them move the same way he moves.
