Personality ;; Rukii has a very kind a gentle spirit, and cares very much about her friends and family's well-being and happiness. Whenever times are rough, she is always the one to try and brighten up everyone's day. She is no doubt the biggest optimist in the pack.

Background ;; After her parents were both murdered, her eldest brother Zasshu left their birth pack once all of them were fully grown, and confused and worried for him, she and her other two older brothers Shinso and Markus all set out to follow him, and all three of them found and became members of Zasshu’s new pack that he had formed high up in the mountains. Rukii, Shinso, and Markus are now all a part of their eldest brother’s new pack, of which they are the rival pack of Nava.

Relation to Balto ;; To add to the misfortunes of Kiime (the alpha female) passing away and the famine, Aleu, after becoming the new alpha of Nava's pack and leading them across the great water, moved her pack into Zasshu's terriitory and began hunting his pack's prey. Some of the wolves in Aleu's pack even began to attack Zasshu and his pack members. Zasshu decided to take Shinso and Markus, his brothers, Rukii, his sister, and Toshiro, Natsume, and Sojiro, his three sons along with him to confront Aleu and a select few of her pack mates and have a meeting. Zasshu gave Aleu two choices - leave his land peacefully with her pack, or he and his pack will fight them for it. Aleu refused to leave, for unknown intentions, and she and Zasshu's pack declared war for the territory. However, Zasshu will not give up his territory for anyone, so Aleu best watch herself.
