Believe me. Kiera and Gruffi would be hilarious together, especially when it comes to figuring out how to outsmart enemies without getting yourself into a fix.
I think it’s so cool how Corey Burton got to be Ludwig again. He’s been playing his voice for 30 years. And I just know he was in this particular episode because of all the Gummi references. I would love to hear him bring a voice to Gruffi again. Corey and Jim are my childhood, and I like to think of them as cartoon VA uncles.

Just notes for Gummi Bears. For an OC of mine, and more for Gruffi. Gruffi Gummi is owned by Disney. Marri is owned by me.
Marri Gummi
Pronounced like Berry
Short for Marionberry
Fur Color: Deep red
Hair Color: Deep purple/black and curly
Gold hoops in ears
From a clan of Gypsy Gummis
Only 7 left including her
Father: Smoki
Mother: Minti
Brother: Cloudi
Smoki and Cloudi were working in a field for pay when a cyclone hit. Cloudi had a vision of it, but didn’t understand it, so he came to the same tragic end. Most of the troupe passed as well.
Minti was an herbalist/alchemist. Taught Marri everything she knew. Marri was 12 when the cyclone hit. Afterwards the 12 remaining Gypsies moved to caves out of paranoia. The caves were cold and damp, and the Gummis got sick. Minti and Marri took care of them. Only 8 left when they found the Gummi Glen. Marri became mated to Gruffi, and her troupe moved on, with the blessing of her mother. They visit the Glen every spring.
Children: (by Gruffi)
Firstborn Boy: Scruffi (after Gruffi’s father)
Brown fur and red hair
Secondborn Girl: Rosi
Pink fur and purple hair
They have these children a few years later, even though they are both a bit past the prime of life. Busy all the time with said life, the cubs come as almost an afterthought, and unlike Sunni and Cubbi, are raised doing work just like the adults. Scruffi has his father’s building and trapping skills, and Rosi invents her first machine at age 5. Gruffi is of course proud of his children, but only shows it to them rarely to “keep their egos in check”. Marri is very fond of them, but doesn’t dote on them too much. Both cubs are independent at a young age, and like their parents, neither one likes to ask for help unless it’s truly needed. Later on, when Rosi is older she travels with the troupe, making her inventions part of the act. Scruffi stays at home, making himself useful.

A bit of a fanfic I’m working on for Disney’s Gummi Bears.. Posted for a friend. I hope you like it, C!
Prologue
Five years had passed since the Gummis of Gummi Glen had lost their home. They stayed in Ursalia and waited for the Great Gummis to sail their way again. With Duke Igthorn out of the way, there was nothing they couldn’t do. And they did return. They waited a whole year to play it safe, but at Zummi’s invitation (with careful consideration) they sailed to the Capital City at Ursalia. This time, they brought eight ships instead of three. And they had humans with them! The Barbics were shocked at first, but they overcame their pride after a while, and it was easier with the Glen Gummis to help them.
Everything was finally going the way they had always dreamed. The young cubs were growing up and their eyes were landing on their new friends. The new spring wind promised a fresh start. Sunni and Buddi were seldom seen without each other. Even Zummi and Grammi finally admitted their feelings for each other after seeing other bears pair off into mates.
Before long, gummi bears that had been single all their lives were looking for someone. There were finally enough to chose from. And they needed to make more.
Some of them were too set in their ways. Old Thornberry, (though a romantic at heart) considered himself too old. And Tummi Gummi considered himself married to food. Ursa made a vow to never forget her old mate, even though her eyes did stray to Gruffi sometimes. But the stubborn bear from the Glen refused to advance it to anything else. All of the other gummis were pretty sure that he would remain Ursalia’s most eligible bachelor forever. And that was just the way he liked it.
Part 1
The spring breeze had turned into a strong wind, and most of the gummies were indoors. But Gruffi was restless. It wasn’t that he didn’t have enough to do in his new home, in fact, sometimes he had do too much. But he had always wondered about the Glen. It was destroyed, but not bad enough that he couldn’t fix it. However, the longer he waited, the longer it would be left to further decay. He had to do something about it. The problem was...nobody wanted to go back.
Zummi made his home at the library, and with the help of the others, he’d managed to make new books and even copies of some of the books the Great Gummis had taken with them. He and a few other magicians spent all their time there, and Gruffi was happy for him. But when he wasn’t there, he was with Grammi on a moonlit balcony, or in some meadow of flowers somewhere. It made Gruffi a bit sick if he thought about it too much. Not that he denied them their happiness, but he wondered what the point of it all was. Those two weren’t young enough to have cubs anymore. Wasn’t that the reason to find a mate? Well, if it was, he wasn’t looking for one anytime soon. He’d done enough childrearing with Sunni and Cubbi. And he’d done a pretty decent job at that. He smiled when he thought of them. Sunni was a real little lady now. The other day she had come running with the news that she and Buddi were engaged to be married. In his eyes, she seemed too young for marriage, but it had been five years, and she was almost 18-years-old. The official age of a Gummi adult. And he knew that Buddi would take care of her. He had grown into a strong man...stronger than himself, if he ever cared to admit it. Which he never would.
All of the other Glen Gummis were happy. Except him. Which was normal for Gruffi, but he really felt like something was missing. He didn’t handle change very well, and he was used to doing things his own way. But now there were too many Gummis in one place, and they all had their own opinions. He had never been in a city before now, let alone tried to live in one. It suited the others just fine, but not him.
However, Gruffi also didn’t want to be alone. He needed someone to protect and look after… The last time he mentioned that outloud, Grammi had overheard. She suggested finding a mate. He just rolled his eyes at her. Love was not the answer to his problems. He was too practical for such a thing. Wasn’t he?
As the months went by, he missed the forest more and more. It had peace and order. This place was the opposite of order. Especially since they had been here for five years already, and they had yet to establish a leader. He’s heard Zummi talking about a monarchy, but who would be the right gummi for a king? It just seemed like too much of a responsibility. And coming from Gruffi, that was a lot.
They had even asked him. But just once. He’d stormed out of that room as fast as he could. King Gruffi. Absolutely ridiculous.
It was one thing to be the leader of only five Gummis. But 500? He sighed to himself. Well, he thought. There aren’t that many yet, but if they keep pairing off like this, there will be soon. Good grief. He sighed again, and his thoughts came back to the old Glen. If he could just convince some of the others that it could be used as a sort of post, maybe he could go back and fix it up. Then, he might be able to come back and take some of the others home with him. Only so he didn’t have to be completely alone. He’d seen what that did to the brain. Gusto Gummi was a perfect example of a crackpot. He wouldn’t mind getting away from him for a while, either. Between him and Ursa, they were both trying to tear him apart. Ursa made sense. She could still have a family. But Gusto? All these years, he’s known the crazy artist looked up to him and admired him, but he hadn’t known it was love. He was too traditional and old-fashioned to think of such a thing. But when he’s seen the look on Gusto’s face at his very blunt refusal, it had made him a bit heartsick. It wasn’t the guy’s fault he had feelings for him. After all, Gruffi did bring a lot of things to the table. He just didn’t want that table to be quite as colorful as Gusto’s…
A few hours later, he had come up with a plan. He would turn the Glen into a waystation. There were more Gummis out there, trying to find Ursalia. A lot of them had no idea how the Gummiscope worked, and the giant beam of light would just look like nonsense to them. Some of them were a bit primitive. The Barbics hadn’t even known what Gummi Berry Juice was. The Glen would be a perfect way to change that. He could find any wandering gummis and bone them up on the Way of the Gummi. The idea made his heart beat a little faster. Finally, some way to be useful!
When he asked the High Council (he was one of them himself, so it was easy to convince them) about his idea, they agreed with him, and decided to send along a few more gummis that were good builders. Gruffi didn’t like this idea at first (he’d wanted to go alone) but he had to admit that he was no spring chicken anymore, and a few good helpers could make things much easier.
But when he found a few of the Glen gummis and told them about it, they were bewildered.
“Why would you want to leave, Gruffi? This place is more than we could ever have dreamed of!” Sunni asked.
“Well, it’s not like I’m leaving forever. I just want to get that old place running again. The Council has agreed with my plan to make it a waystation. Somewhere for the wandering Gummis. There are more of them out there, you know. And they need my help.”
“But...what about my wedding?” She pouted.
“Eh? What about it?”
“Gruffi! You have to be here! You...you were…” Her eyes filled with tears. Buddi cleared his throat.
“Um...she... that is...we...wanted you to be the one to give her away at the ceremony, Gruffi. You are…the closest thing to a father she’s ever had.” Sunni looked at him imploringly. Gruffi felt his eyes burn and blinked hard.
“Sunni… I...I don’t know what to say.”
“Say you’ll stay!”
“Oh, sweetie...I just can’t…” He sighed. “I already have everything ready, and the Council is sending half of the Builder’s Guild with me. We are leaving tomorrow.”
His jaw tightened as Sunni dissolved into tears.
“Hey, hey, now. Don’t cry! I’m coming back!” He fluttered his hands at her nervously.
“You are?”
“Well, of course I am. I just said I wouldn’t be gone forever. Your wedding isn't for another six months, right? I’ll be back before then. I promise.” He gently took Sunni by the shoulders and smiled at her.
“Okay, hon?” She nodded, and her own smile was like her namesake.
“Oh, thank you, Gruffi! I’m gonna miss you.” She pulled him into a hug and he squeezed her tight.
