Character Analysis: Get To Know Rufus

Kim Possible is the kind of show that has it all. Action, romance, and a naked sidekick. No, we're not talking about Ron, although he often loses his pants. We are here to shine the spotlight on the smallest, mightiest member of Team Possible. Rufus is a character that most would not expect to fall in love with, but can't help it. Let's take a deeper look into the hairless rodent and find out what makes him an important member of this show.

A hit with the ladies, Rufus is the naked mole-rat that lives in the pocket of Ron Stoppable. But he is so much more than that. Rufus has helped the team since their very first mission and has saved Kim and Ron too many times to count. Whether it's dodging from lasers or trying to return the Kimmunicator, Rufus is the wingman every team cannot live without. There isn't a time that Rufus isn't showcased in some kind of way. He has a personality and style that makes more than his team take notice. In the future, he is reviewed as a god-like figure and is asked about his knowledge of the meaning of life. Cheese is his favorite food, among the rest of the fried foods of the world. Bueno Nacho is a staple in his diet and his love for food, in general, overpowers most of his decisions. Rufus can act as the voice of reason for both Ron and Kim, talking them off the ledge and making them focus on what is more important at that moment.

Rufus takes snacking to a whole other kind of level. His dynamic with Ron is kind of like Scooby and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, down to the overstuffed nature after eating a bite too many. He is a character that completes the show and the team would not survive most missions if he wasn't around. He reminds us that even the smallest of us can hold the greatest power.
