Appearance[]
Buggs has fair skin and beady eyes, along with a mole under his eye. He nearly always has an angry expression on his face. His hair is buzzed, making it appear gray. He's visibly overweight, and several characters mention Buggs' weight in a derogatory way. He wears a black and grey checkered shirt, which have been a hand-me-down based on the costume description in Kindergarten 2. He also has blue pants, black shoes, and a large gold-colored belt.
Information[]
Buggs is the bully of the school. One of the first interactions the Protagonist can have at Kindergarten is Buggs threatening him to give him his money. He's antagonistic towards other children, namely Nugget, but typically will not cause confrontation unless pushed. He seems to be perceptive, as he knew Ms. Applegate was out to get him and actively plotting his downfall. He was also somewhat aware of what was happening at school, saying "Look, something awful is happening at this school. Everyone knows it, but no one talks about it." This could allude to the murders, as nearly every adult in the first game has homocidal tendencies, but it's unknown if Buggs knew about the child experimentation.
In Kindergarten 2, Buggs brings his knife to school, only to have it get confiscated by Penny. If the Protagonist also gets something confiscated from Penny, then Buggs will work together with him to not only get their stuff back, but to uncover the secret behind Penny. This goes to show that Buggs is actually quite clever when need be, and has a strong sense of justice. He's also just as willing to kill Ms. Applegate as last game, likely still holding his grudge against her for targeting him on Monday.
Buggs seems to have low self-esteem, describing himself as "fat and ugly" in Kindergarten 2. He also thinks he's dumb, as he'll say "you're even dumber than me" to the Protagonist. While he is in the "stupid" class, Buggs is able to see through plans and make complex decisions in a way that's atypical for a boy his age.
Relationships[]
Ms. Applegate[]
Buggs and Ms. Applegate have a mutual hatred for each other. This likely stemmed from Buggs being a problem child, causing Ms. Applegate to want to get rid of him. Apparently, the reason why Buggs was on his "third strike" at their first school was because she had it out for him and set him up. Buggs is aware Ms. Applegate wants him gone, and he says he won't go down without a fight. This leads to him getting the Protagonist to kill her, in which he feels no remorse. In Kindergarten 2, he's immediately willing to kill Ms. Applegate when asked. When things go wrong and she has him by the throat, he claims that he's not scared of her and that if she was going to to something, she should just do it.
In Kindergarten 3, Buggs is not present, but Ms. Applegate mentions him; saying she hates the Protagonist almost as much as she hates Buggs at the moment. When asked where he is, she'll say she doesn't care.
Nugget[]
Nugget seems to be Buggs' main victim. Every day at lunch, he throws slop at Nugget. In Kindergarten 2, Buggs starts a food fight specifically after throwing a burger at Nugget. This is likely just because he finds Nugget weird and thinks he's an easy target.
Penny[]
Penny steals Buggs' knife in the second game, and Buggs is very personally offended. He assumes it's because he's "fat and ugly", which is the only reason he can think of for as to why Penny randomly searched him. Obviously, this was not the case, but Buggs still holds a grudge against her.
His Father[]
Buggs' father left his life when he was younger, and Buggs still holds onto the hope that he'll come back one day. It's a sensitive subject for him, and he gets very defensive about it when brought up. Despite this, though, Buggs does not bring him up as often in Kindergarten 2.
