Her insecurities were caused by different factors that she would never talk about, and she would become defensive if you asked her.
Sexuality
bisexual (closeted)

Rusty is an anthropomorphic Border Collie/Labrador Retriever cross with floppy ears and a red collar. However, in Bad Luck Jack, he wears a red varsity jacket with white sleeves; his right elbow is patched and his left is torn; his fur is completely light yellow and neatly groomed.

Rusty is belligerent yet sensitive. He enjoys mocking others, but being insulted in turn can frustrate and humiliate him to the point of abandoning his victim entirely. He isn't very intelligent, especially compared to others, but he has moments of deep reflection and usually makes up for it with his street smarts. His callous and aggressive nature is amplified by the intolerant nicknames he likes to give others, such as "faggot" for Addison or "piñata boy" for Zill. This stems largely from his own struggles to accept his sexuality, among many other insecurities he chooses to project onto others, or from aspects of other students that he finds in himself. Despite everything, he is fiercely loyal to those he cares about and is resolute even in the most difficult of times.

Relationship like their parents
Rusty's father abandoned him shortly after his birth, leaving him in a foster home where he grew up with Camilla and became friends with her. He never met him and knows nothing about his father. He would like to know.

His mother's condition is unknown, and above all, what happened to her. Rusty spends entire nights thinking about his parents and what could have been if he were with them; perhaps everything would be different.

Because Zill belongs to an unknown species, even new to Safe Haven, Rusty takes every opportunity to mock his appearance and gives him the ironic nickname "Piñata Boy." Rusty often tests Zill's limits and ridicules his aversion to resolving things with violence.

Jackson Wells
Jack is one of Rusty's main victims. Because of his constant bad luck, Rusty considers him a freak and sadistically enjoys reminding him of all the times he gets hurt. He also likes to give him degrading nicknames like "Coward," "Loser," or "Unlucky Jack." Jack continued to endure the abuse for a while, at least until he finally mustered the courage to tell Rusty that he didn't have any friends, which hurt Rusty quite a bit since he knew it was true that Jack couldn't make friends. This caused the bully to leave in shame.

Autumn
As one of the few who was always there for him, along with Camilla, Rusty has a deep respect and appreciation for Autumn. Having helped him understand his emotions when he was a pup, he still manages to respond insolently and bully him. Even so, deep down, whether he admits it or not, he loves him like a brother.

The twins Max and Max are Rusty's inseparable companions and spend most of the day with him.

The twins Max and Max are Rusty's inseparable companions and spend most of the day with him. However, they belong to the same species as Christine, Rusty's best friend.

Christine
Christine is Rusty's best friend. This is reflected in how they spend time together doing different activities, even though Christine is always busy with many school and extracurricular activities.

He has great mechanical skills; he knows how to find problems and defects in vehicles, which has allowed him to keep his car in very good condition. He is also quite skilled at plumbing, but he doesn't admit it because he believes that if his friends found out, they would make fun of him since he doesn't consider those activities to require much intelligence; he thinks they will consider him stupid.

He can be egocentric and annoying, but it's all to cover up his own insecurities and fears inside. He usually spends all his nights with nightmares, very reflective dreams, or not sleeping at all while reflecting on his life.
