Bunny Hug

Bunny Hug is an old flame of Ricochet Rabbit's. She first appears in the story On Notice, which details her attempting to revive her romance with Ricochet before his eventual reunion with Melissa Starkweather.

Personality
Bunny Hug's a sweet girl who dislikes violence and is willing to do anything to make sure that the people in her life take on the same attitude, ranging from hiding/breaking their weapons to throwing herself in danger to protect people. This can also extend into becoming completely domineering over their lives, as her husband and former outlaw Slapjack learned.

History
Bunny Hug is Ricochet's third-grade sweetheart from when he was in school. It is assumed that at one point they went their separate ways, possibly when Ricochet stopped attending school, but they were still fond of each other. They later reunited, and Ricochet attempted to bring in the notorious outlaw Slapjack Rabbit in her honor. Bunny Hug's urging of using nonviolence, however, resulted in a difficult time for Ricochet, and he later admitted that it was hard to work with a woman around, especially since she was gluing his weapons in his holster and throwing herself in danger to protect Slapjack. She was later won over and married Slapjack, although she quickly turned the tables on him by gluing his guns in his holster and forcing him to leave the outlaw community.

Their marriage only lasted for two years because of this--later, Slapjack was tempted by a well-known outlaw queen. Despite Bunny Hug's attempts to keep him away from her, Slapjack left her and returned to the life of a outlaw. Heartbroken, Bunny Hug remained alone for a year, her minds drifting back to her old flame, Ricochet.

Another year passed before she was ready to talk to Ricochet again, and she sent him a letter requesting to speak to him. Ricochet agreed that they could give the relationship another chance, although she felt wary of Ricochet's deputy, Droop-a-Long, who knew what she'd done in the past and didn't want her pulling the same tricks again.
