Brioche (rabbit)

Brioche, known in Japan as Sanpin, is a young male rabbit from Honey Mint in Magical Starsign, and the son of Cresson. His dream is to save up a lot of bira and own a restaurant in Bena Rikashi.

Appearance
Brioche has long, floppy ears that hang over his face, green hair, and a large circular hat. He wears a gray poncho with triangular patterns, and a pair of big gray shoes.

Personality
Brioche is relaxed, friendly, and level-headed, but also somewhat sensitive.

Magical Starsign
The party first met Brioche in Quinoa Plain, after watching Chai flee from the Space Police in Bena Rikashi. Brioche informed them that Chai had ran off with secret police documents, and invited them to the rabbits' village of Honey Mint. The students arrived in the village shortly thereafter, to which Brioche revealed his dream of opening a restaurant in the big city, having saved two million bira to make it come true. He then brought them to his house, where Chai happily reunited with his classmates and let them read the stolen documents. Shocked to see Miss Madeleine on the list, Brioche suggested they seek help from Twigadamus, the village's local clairvoyant.

Suddenly, Lieutenant Mugwort and Brie Pourri of the Space Police swooped in to arrest Chai. While Brie flew away with Chai, Mugwort fought against the students and lost. He then threatened to charge them for assaulting an officer, to which Cresson took Brioche's piggy bank and offered it as compensation. Mugwort accepted the bribe and returned to Bena Rikashi, to the devastation of Brioche. Twigadamus arrived afterwards, assuring Brioche that his dream was still destined to come true.
