Ruslan

Ruslan was a minor character who appeared in “The Whimsical World of Leopold”; his only appearance was in “The Mouse Whisperer”. He was the older brother of Marnie.

Appearance
Ruslan was an average-built mouse with a medium-broad chest and shoulders, caramel fur, honey-brown eyes and a black nose and matching whiskers; he wore a light-blue polo shirt in addition to a pair of gray slacks and a pair of brown loafers.

After his death sent him to the Purgatory, he gained a blue tongue.

Personality
Ruslan seemed to be a happy-go-lucky individual; however, despite this façade, he was actually a withdrawn kid who kept shutting everyone around him out, including his younger sister, in favor of reading (Soviet-approved) horror comics about monsters and watching (Soviet-approved) horror films about monsters in order to escape his unhappy life.

After his death sent him to the Purgatory, he promptly befriended Thomas and Yakov, the latter of who convinced them to join him in his scams.

Death
Along with his sister and their mom, Ruslan met his end when they all got into a freak car accident in their mother’s process of taking them to Otrada to visit their grandparents in the summer of 1953.
