**Harry Buns** is a supporting character in the series *Kiff*. He is the older brother of Terri, Barry, and Kristophe Buns. He is also an aspiring DJ.

## Profile

Harry is the eldest child of Mary Buns and lives with his mother, his younger sister Terri, and his younger brothers Barry and Kristophe in suburban Table Town. He is 17 years old, as revealed in "Harry's Maturity Crisis", and is a student at Table Town High School. Harry is an aspiring DJ and performs DJ gigs around Table Town under the stage name DJ 11:30.

## Appearance

Harry is a bunny with brown fur, a light brown tail, and light brown inner ears. He has large round eyes with small pupils, a pink oval-shaped nose, and a light mustache. He styles his long ears over his forehead, giving himself a sort of fringe.

He has a gold piercing in one of his ears. In his debut appearance in "The Fourth Bath", he wears a plain black T-shirt. In subsequent appearances, he is typically seen wearing a black T-shirt featuring a design of a solid gold disc with a knife and fork underneath.

When performing as DJ 11:30, Harry wears a white helmet which covers his head from the eyes up. The helmet's visor features an LED clock display, and the ear areas are dotted with yellow lights.

## Personality

Being a teenager, Harry is prone to bouts of angst and moodiness. In "Harry's Maturity Crisis", he is shown to desire to be taken seriously as a mature adult.

In "The Fourth Bath", Harry makes frequent reference to his teen angst and says that his angst began when he had to hand down his stuffed doll Farley to his youngest brother Kristophe. Harry is delighted to be reunited with Farley after Kiff takes the doll from Kristophe, but gives it back after he and Kristophe fight over it.

Later, in "Brunch DJ", Harry is shown to have been skipping school on Tuesdays in order to DJ at Café Penguino. Kiff and Barry discover Harry's whereabouts and try to get him to return to school, but Harry refuses because he wants to further his DJ career by experiencing performing in front of an audience. Principal Secretary at first expels Harry for his truancy, but Flam Bingo, who signs Harry as a client, and Kiff work out an arrangement where Harry can DJ on Sundays instead. At the end of the episode, Harry is shown to have a newfound appreciation for school.

Harry runs away from the Buns household in "Harry's Maturity Crisis" after Mary refuses to let him drive her hot rod because she feels he is not yet mature enough. He manages to find a job at Rat's Hats and Mats and is allowed by Rat to live in the store's back room. Although Harry is initially reluctant to return home, Kiff and Barry's intervention makes Harry realize that Mary means well, and he returns home and apologizes to her.

## Relationships

### Barry Buns and Kiff Chatterley

Harry can find himself annoyed by the antics that his younger brother Barry gets into with Kiff, but he loves his brother regardless.

In "Brunch DJ", Kiff and Barry convince Harry to return to school when they learn that he has been cutting classes to DJ at Café Penguino. In "Harry's Maturity Crisis", the two again look out for Harry when he runs away from home, and ultimately help him realize there is no place quite like it after they decide to run away with him.

### Mary, Terri and Kristophe Buns

While Harry's angsty personality can cause conflict between himself and the rest of his family, it is clear that Harry has an underlying love for his mother and siblings.

In "Harry's Maturity Crisis", Mary refuses to let Harry borrow her hot rod, prompting Harry, who feels that Mary is babying him, to run away from home. Eventually, Harry comes to appreciate how Mary cares for him and his siblings. He returns home and apologizes to Mary, giving her a bouquet and rug and calling her "the best mom in the whole world".

In "Maybe-sitting", Harry and Terri are tasked with babysitting Kristophe. Though the two are shown to be quite detached when it comes to babysitting, they become extremely concerned when it seems Kristophe has gone missing.

### Principal Secretary

In "Brunch DJ", Harry's principal Principal Secretary assigns Kiff and Barry to investigate Harry's whereabouts after learning of his repeated truancy. Principal Secretary initially expels Harry for his truancy, but is eventually convinced to reinstate him as a student.
