Personality:
Competitive
Bruce likes to challenge others, but also to challenge himself. He always sets his goals high, which when you consider that he's only around three inches tall, is all the more impressive.
And yet he doesn't choose fights or challenges simply to win them. You wouldn't see him challenging an opponent who's weaker or about his own strength, far from it. The stronger an opponent is, the more likely that Bruce will see him as a worthy opponent and ask for a friendly fight.
This has gotten himself and his human associate into trouble more than once.
Caring
Despite coming off as really pushy at times, Bruce cares deeply for his adopted human (aka Rince). Whenever he's pushing the boy to go past his limits, it's all for the boy's own good. Bruce tries to motivate his human to do better and although he sometimes crosses the line, his intentions are genuinely good.
Should someone else however push his human around however, Bruce can become quite angry. Like a mother bear he will defend his "cub", even though that "cub" is way bigger and stronger than him.
Appearance:
Round and fluffy, the haggis is quite similar to a hamster, only rounder and with triangular ears instead. While haggis have fur in lots of different colors, Bruce has shiny long fur of pure white. He's not an albino though and has deep black eyes.
He's the size of a big apple, which indicates that this haggis is currently in the teenage years of his species.
While haggis in the wild usually communicate with loud squeaking and whistling noises, Bruce has adapted a sort of sign language on top of that, using his short little arms and legs to mimic certain gestures he picked up from watching humans.
Traits
Animal Senses
Starter Trait #1
Due to belonging to the rodent family, Bruce has senses that far surpass those of a human. Especially his olfactory sense rank pretty high in his abilities. Just like a dog would, Bruce can smell things that are far away and follow the scent of someone if he knows the smell of that person or thing (especially when it's food related) and can differenciate between different people of the same species by scent alone. He's also able to pick out the presence of chemicals that denote a change of atmosphere or emotion.
Strong Bite
Starter Trait #2
With his prominent teeth and a strong jaw, Bruce can deal a bite that is far stronger than one would expect from such a small creature and can bite even through hard materials. They're not strong enough to bite through steel and stone, but can crack bones and nutshells or chew through wood.
Like with most rodents, the incisors are continuously growing to account for the abrasion during use, so it's not much of a problem to him even if they get shortened by use for a while.
Inhuman Swiftness
D Class Additional Trait
Small and lightweight as he is, Bruce is very quick on his feet and can move faster than the average human as he doesn't have to shift so much weight around.

Rank: 1, 50 X-Poinz rebate
Description: With his small size to his advantage, Bruce can move quickly while being hard to hit. This enables him to run around and sometimes over a person. For this attack he does so while holding a thread, either a very strong textile one or a steel wire to wrap in his opponent, restricting their movements as their limbs get tied up more and more as he's getting them tangled up.
