Ribbon belongs to Rose, an elderly neighbor of the human protagonists Yuuri and Ken in the port town of Sunny Bell. As Rose's dog, Ribbon lives alongside her near the flower shop operated by the children's parents. Ribbon shows consistent loyalty to Rose while forming bonds with the human children and magical beings, including Mary Bell and her companion Tambourine.

Ribbon takes part in significant events within the human world. In one storyline, he develops a friendship with a poodle, facilitated by Mary Bell's intervention. Ribbon also becomes involved in conflicts, such as an incident where Tambourine was kidnapped; he was present during this event, though specific actions are not detailed. Ribbon appears in the narrative surrounding the "500,000th Year Quarrel," indicating his presence during both everyday activities and unusual magical occurrences.

The character joins the journey to Flower Land in the Phoenix no Kagi movie narrative. Ribbon accompanies Mary Bell, Yuuri, Ken, and Tambourine to visit Toto the Phoenix on his birthday. During this journey, the group confronts the central conflict involving Toto's transformation and the search for the Phoenix Key. This participation demonstrates Ribbon's transition from a local companion in Sunny Bell to an active adventurer extending into the Flower Magic World.

Ribbon's character development progresses from neighborhood pet to an integrated member of the core group involved in both human-world activities and magical realm adventures. His inclusion in the Flower Land journey represents an expansion beyond his typical environment and routine interactions.
