Personality[]
Buddy is friendly and innocent. He is curious about the world around him and about Bloom. He is easily frightened by things that are unfamiliar to him.

Buddy was also willing to help Bloom when she was in need. Buddy instructs Bloom on how to become a dragon and helps her on her journey through Pyros. His positive attitude helps Bloom believe in herself and "become" a true dragon.

Trivia[]
- “Buddy” is a name often used as a nickname to describe someone as a friend, highlighting Buddy’s friendly and trustworthy nature. Adding to this, the first part of Buddy’s name (“Bud”) shares a similar, floral commonality with Bloom’s as a “bud” is a flower that has “yet to bloom”, symbolizing his status as her inner dragon.
- Bud greatly resembles a dragon species called flames, whose names were revealed in Issue 115: The Last Dragon of Pyros. The only difference is that they have a longer, skinnier neck than him.
- His adult appearance however is exactly what the species will grow up to be, except that he is still green.
