### First Apperance

Fruit Caboose

**Gus Greenfly** is one of the six main characters in Lu & the Bally Bunch.

## Personality

*From the 9 Story Media Group website:*

*"Gus is a serious bug who loves to follow rules and point out unfairness if he sees it."*

Despite being the youngest out of his group of friends, Gus Greenfly is arguably the most mature out of the bunch. Gus is introverted and, while he isn't shy and will easily speak up when he sees an injustice of some sorts, he also cherishes his individual time alone. More extroverted bugs, like Lu, are often confused with Gus' different ways of play, but he doesn't care for the suspecting comments. Gus is blunt, honest, and never filters what is on his mind.

Gus loves rules; He frequently uses them in games he plays. When rules are broken in his games, he gets unhappy very quickly. One example of this would be in Proper Game, where he got mad at Lu for not following his rules. Gus is still learning to use his imagination to play games rather than always using the logical way.

One of Gus' fatal flaws is rooted in sensory overload. Gus tends to get quite uncomfortable in loud, bustling situations. In Talking About Birthdays, he expressed his desire for a quiet celebration free of singing, confusing his friends. In Vacuumasarus, Gus is scared and uncomfortable when Shella turns on the vacuum due to the loud sound the machine makes.

Even though he may seem gruff on the outside, Gus' strong sense of justice will always guarantee that he tries to help his friends out when they are in the middle of conflicts. In, Find the Blueberries, it was Gus' idea for him to hide the blueberries in a place that everyone could access so there would be no bias when trying to find them. In another episode, he tried his best to ensure that Lu comply with his older sister Grace's instructions on how to stand for a grow line, although his comments were ultimately in vain.

## Relationships

### Biba:

Gus and Biba get along well. Biba doesn't hesitate to invite Gus over to play, but also knows his boundaries and when he'd rather be alone. Gus and Biba partnered up for the rocketship project in Spotty Rocket, and Biba's absence deeply affected Gus.

### Declan:

Gus and Declan are an odd couple, as while Gus is more introverted and quiet, Declan is extroverted and loud. Declan and Gus have shared a few starring roles in episodes such as Tower Tower Wow and But Why? and they are also shown hanging out in episodes such as Don't Want to Miss Out and Wiggling and Flapping and even dancing together in a few bug-boogie dance times.

### Lu:

Lu and Gus are on good terms. Sometimes, Lu struggles to see the more introverted perspective from her friend. Copy Copy Caterpillar and Proper Game are good examples. But, Lu also helps Gus to get out of his shell and try new things with the other buglets. In the latter episode, it was her imaginative game that taught Gus to embrace being silly.

### Barnaby:

Gus and Barnaby don't interact much, but when they do, it's always in good spirits. Barnaby helped Gus find inspiration for his rocket ship in Spotty Rocket and was the first one to feel bad for Gus and his fear of loud noises in Vacuumasarus. Gus can also be seen mimicking Barnaby's dance moves in the same episode.

### Elodie:

Gus and Elodie are great friends. They can be seen hanging out together in episodes such as My Friend Biba. Gus was one of the first bus to fully be aware of Elodie's departure from Shell School and the first of the bugs to express his sadness about her leaving.
