Personality
Rudy is a very headstrong person on and off the court. They've been compared to an over exuberant puppy, and will be the first to pick their friends up (emotionally and physically). They have a strong love for the game of volleyball, and is a very talented player. They're always eager to help others, even if it gets them into a bigger mess than they started with. They're slow to change their opinion and they're extremely dedicated to their friends.

Rudy has been shown to interact well with others, going so far as to recruit members from other teams to come and practice in the third gymnasium during free time. Sayako stated that last year it was just as active, suggesting that Rudy regularly seeks out players who are either incredibly talented, need some improvement, or both. After Cory's first impression, it was hard for him to believe that they were a nationally ranked player, meaning Rudy doesn't act with the professionalism one would expect.
