Bunga (SIA)

Bunga Blake Bondaruk is a major supporting character in Rebel Bladers and Siblings In Action. He is the adoptive nephew of Timon and Pumbaa Bondaruk, the adoptive cousin of Simba and Nala Gozi, and the adoptive uncle of Kion and Kiara Gozi.
== Appearance ==
When he's introduced, Bunga is a young honey badger similar to his appearance in The Lion Guard, save for his attire. By the end of the series, he surpasses Flora in height, despite being much shorter than them prior to the third season. In season 3, Bunga's mane grows longer, and sometimes Flora will tie it back.
Just before his senior year starts, his mane grows until his back, and he often wears it in a ponytail.
== Personality ==
Bunga is a free-spirited honey badger without a care in the world. He tends to goof around a lot, even on set, leading to castmates, crew, and production members scolding him for his antics. He also often causes trouble on set (usually by accident).
While being rather impulsive and carefree, Bunga cares deeply for his friends.
Bunga has a tendency to speak his mind.
